La Blatière – THE STABLES (sleeps 4)

Picture your perfect French gîte holiday…

Wooden beams and four poster bed… cosy bedrooms, iron bedsteads and fresh linen… lazy lengths in the pool… neighbouring village, with boulangerie and bar restaurant… or dine al fresco beneath the twinkling stars and fairy lights…La Blatière has it all… and more.

Just over an hour’s drive from La Rochelle, Nantes and Poitiers airports and within easy reach of Ferry Ports and the TGV (high-speed train) network, The Stables at La Blatière makes a beautiful setting for your French adventure.

Set in half an acre of land with fruit trees, plants and lawns and surrounded by winding lanes and farmland, the stylishly decorated Stables comes complete with a shared 10m covered inground swimming pool with inflatables free superfast fibre Wifi, books, DVD's, bikes, fitness/games room, indoor and outdoor games, terrace, outdoor dining area, BBQ, garden, a shared outdoor infrared sauna and a Type 2 Electric Vehicle (EV) charging point. Our little part of south-western France also boasts 2400 hours of sunshine a year making it the second sunniest part of France and the perfect place to enjoy an all year round holiday and the peace and tranquility of country living but still be close to all that Poitou-Charantes has to offer.

This perfect, easy-to-reach location means there are so many wonderful things to do on your doorstep or slightly further afield. A leisurely stroll will take you into the local village for a coffee or to pick up a baguette or 10 mins along the road try Go Karting or the Parc Aventure with the kids, fishing at Pescalis or Moncoutant with its restaurants and market. Then just a little further away you can explore the beautiful cites of Niort, Poitiers and La Rochelle, go golfing at Bressuire enjoy the excitement of Futurescope, step back in time at Puy du Fou. Why not visit the wolves at the Zoodyssee or enjoy a relaxing day boating along the canals of France’s own Green Venice and there is so much more too… you will be spoilt for choice!

We can’t wait to welcome you to La Blatière – and with over 80 five star reviews from guests who have stayed with us - it truly is your little piece of French heaven…
