Thanks Vincent and Caroline.

Overall our stay was good, however we did encounter an issue that we raised with our hosts. They tried to resolve the problem but unfortunately weren’t successful. The issue did impact our holiday but we tried to remain positive.
Lesley and Paul were good hosts and the property was well equipped-even toys for the children-and the pool was fabulous.

Merci Virginie. Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié votre séjour à La Blatiere. Ce fut un plaisir de vous rencontrer vous et votre famille et nous espérons vous revoir tous. Lesley, Paul et Oscar
We had a great time at La Blatière, Paul≤sley were lovely and made us having a wonderful stay at their cottage. If you like fitness Paul can be a nice drill sergeant… We experienced some very hot days with more than 40 degrees and the pool was a welcome refreshment. We can highly recommend this place and would come back anytime – you can sense that Lesley & Paul found their little dream outside a stressful life in the city!

About your hosts
Paul and I dreamt of relocating to France so we left our careers in advertising and finance in Edinburgh, hired a motorhome and set out to travel around the country until we found the perfect location.
And we found La Blatière…
We loved the idyllic rural setting, the charm of the stables and farmhouse and the overall sunny climate. Its location close to everything this wonderful region has to offer made it the perfect place for us to invite guests to.
Since making it our home, it’s lived up to all we hoped it would be and the warmth and friendliness of the local people has been so touching. We look forward to welcoming you to La Blatière too…
