About the Owner/Advertiser, Mr Darren Clifton-Jones

Darren & Keturah - We love our little place in France, and hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Year property purchased 2018
Why this location? We love the village, local area and people. You will especially enjoy the restaurant St George - very special and one of the best in Vendee.
Unique benefits of property Our home is just for 2 - but comes with its own in-ground private pool and gardens. Very private, cosy and perfect for romantic breaks.

We love the gardens. They are ideal for a bbq or lazy days beside the pool. The orchard offers shade and plenty of apples, pears and cherries.

Close by there is lots to see and do. The beaches and La Rochelle are a must do and are approx. 50 mins drive.

The Owner Recommends

Restaurant

Restaurant St George in the village is a must. Willy & Valerie your French hosts have created a very high quality restaurant. If you like fine dining at a reasonable price it is perfect. We are lucky to have them in the village. Just 2 kms away and a very pleasant walk, so all can enjoy a glass of wine!

Fontenay le Comte Weekly Market

Year round weekly market every Saturday. A large selection of market stalls, lots to sample with indoor and outdoor sections. Set in a street with restaurants and bars for after.

Vouvant & Mervent

A must see - Vouvant set beside the river is very picturesque and well known for art exhibitions. Mervent for the lake fishing, walks and forest. A great day out.

Chantonnay

For shopping, restaurants and hypermarkets.

Lucon

For history, cathedral, shopping, restaurants and much more.

La Rochelle

About 50 mins drive - but a most do. One of our most favourite places in all of France.

La Faute sur Mer

There are plenty of beaches within a 1 hour drive. Our favourite is La Faute sur Mer. We think the town is just the right size - not too big not too small, restaurants, river estuary, casino, shops, bars and cafes. But best of all we like it for the beach! Fantastic, you can walk for as far as you can see, pristine sand, dunes and a gentle sloping beach into the sea.

10 / 10 Paul R 19 August, 2019

Lovely quiet little place. Nice pool. Very quiet, in the middle of nowhere - ideal for a chilled time.

Owner response

Thank you Paul for your comments, we are very pleased that you enjoyed your stay.

7.8 / 10 Deja Vu 1 July, 2018

Nice Gite in very rural location in quiet and pretty hamlet. Free WiFi provided - very good signal. Comfortable bed in mezzanine bedroom over kitchen. Very well stocked kitchen - plentiful crockery and utensils. Swimming pool ideal for cooling down if weather hot. Bicycles provided for exploring local village. Property would benefit greatly from Air Conditioning and fly/mosquito screens on windows. Mostly suits a couple looking for a stress-free, relaxing holiday.

Owner response

Thank you for leaving a review. We do try to ensure that our guests have all they need to enjoy their stay and take on your comment about fly screens, which we will be looking to install. Glad you had a relaxing holiday at La Roseraie.
