    About this property

    Cottage (sleep 8+cot) on Child-friendly Complex with shared pool and play areas

    A former Napoleonic-era farm, 'La Vendange" is well established and perfectly located for easy access to both the coastal and many inland attractions of Charente-Maritime.

    Please note this property is booked by the week. We have changeover days of Sat, Sun, Fri depending on cottage. Contact Owner for details.

    The central lawn/swings area is enclosed, gated and within full view of all the cottages. Cots, stair gates, highchairs, strollers etc. provided FOC.

    Wifi Internet FOC. TV/DVDs in each cottage. Large screen TV with Freesat in the Barn, with sofas for watching the football with the other guests.

    Parents can relax while the children make new friends, or collect eggs from our own chickens. In addition to the communal areas, all cottages have their own private outdoor areas with dining furniture, parasol and BBQ. The Nie valley (near St. Jean D’Angely) is about 40 mins drive inland from the port of Rochfort, 1hr drive SE from La Rochelle airport and only 4 hrs drive from the port of St. Malo. Our location is the midst of a part of hidden France, where time seems to have stood still for centuries. The seaside and the coastal towns are an easy day out. Many beaches within 1hr drive. 3 historic market towns within 15 mins drive.

    Lovely Setting, Great for Kids

    Really enjoyed our stay. The kids loved the place. Fantastic to have somewhere you can let the kids just run around as you relax outside. Some nice touches e.g. books left for the kids/adults to read, equipment like potties/stepstools etc. Richard, the owner, was on hand for any queries. Rural location so car is needed. Going back again this summer :)

    Best Holiday With Kids-Ever

    This is the perfect location for a relaxed holiday with preteen kids: 2015 was our second holiday and are booked again for 2016. We'd had lovely holidays in Turkey & Portugal prior to this but nowhere we wanted to return to. The main selling points are: comfortable accommodation (but not luxury, no need to stress about kids wrecking anything!), mix of private & sociable areas, lovely pool, very safe for even small children, but most of all, all the children (from the 5 gites) end up playing together, so the adults can relax. The kids run out in the morning in their pj's to check on the hens and see who is up: they can start playing with friends while you sit in bed with a coffee! Plenty to do in the local area, decent supermarket 10 mins by car. Borrow the communal bikes and cycle to the local pub/ bistro. BBQ in the evening outside your gite, get the kids in bed and relax with a glass of local wine-bliss! We fly into La Rochelle and hire a car, so only an hour and 15 mins drive.

    Another wonderful holiday here (our 5th visit)

    We love it here. We have 2 girls age 4 and 6 and have been staying at La Vendange each summer for the past 4 years. It is perfect for children, very safe, with an enclosed garden and two lovely heated pools. There are swings, a slide, a trampoline and a shaded sandpit, not forgetting the chickens and quails all of which the children love. There are plenty of lovely things to do in the surrounding area, enough to keep you and the children busy for 2 weeks if you wish (even if the weather inclement). Or just relax at the gites where the children will play with their new friends.
