CUSTOMER REVIEWS
The property far exceeded our expectations, the photos really do not do it justice. Great facilities, hours of fun had by all. We have already recommended the property to our friends and family. T N Bolton
Thank you for a wonderful holiday. The kids loved the pool, indoor and outdoor play areas, and so did the adults when the kids went to bed! The indoor play area was great as the little ones could play in a secure area whilst under the watch of the adults whilst playing snooker etc. Teenagers made great use of the TV lounge too. Hope to see you again. S P
Great location with lots to do. Swimming pool was a bit hit and wonderful to find quiet corner somewhere to relax. The gite was very spacious and had everything that we required. Loved it. T L
Fabulous holiday had, Gite was fantastic and Jenny a real star. Hope to be in touch soon to rebook for next year. CB August 2015
We had a fabulous stay at La Puit a Souhait / La Croix Liaud in the Vendee. The farmhouse/gite was clean and extensively equipped, even with all baking utensils! The rooms were well decorated and furnished and the beds were one of the best ones we've had on holidays! The courtyard between the different units had well tended gardens complete with fruit trees and was a great socialising venue for all the different families staying. We all had fun star gazing and watching shooting stars in the clear night sky! The games room was great to keep everyone busy. Our host Jenny was very friendly and helpful. The venue was also well placed for visiting loads of attractions near us i.e. La Rochelle, Apremont, Marais Poitevin, Puy Du Fou. Having a nice big hypermarket within 10 mins drive was indeed a bonus. My husband also liked the fact that the house is in a quiet location which meant better sleep at night for him:-) Keep up the great work, this place is definitely well recommended!!
