What a great find. The location is perfect amongst fields strewn with sunflowers, peaceful and tranquil but only a short car journey to the nearest amenities, beaches and La Rochelle. The accommodation was well equipped, spotlessly clean and comfortable. The swimming pool is a real treat, well maintained and very comfortable to spend the day. The hosts Nigel and Suzanne are the loveliest of people so helpful when we needed it but not at all intrusive. I will definitely return and would recommend this please for a relaxed and quiet holiday

We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay at the Pigeonnier. The location is lovely, set amongst golden barley fields, making it an ideal place to unwind. We enjoyed some wonderdully peaceful dog walks in the countryside. Our dog was very happy with his digs for the week! The kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed. Suzanne was a friendly host who offered us lots of suggestions on what to do and where to eat during our stay. We would highly recommend Le Pigeonnier and we hope to return in the future

Suzanne and Nigel were very warm and helpful hosts, and live on-sight which is very convenient. The Pigeonnier was spotlessly clean and very well stocked with crockery and cutlery, clean linen and towels. The pool on the property was most welcoming at the end of long hot days of sight-seeing. The only problem we had was with a weak wifi signal. When we couldn't watch the soccer world cup in our little house, Nigel invited us to join him in their home. Visiting La Rochelle was a lovely day out, as were the two islands of Ile-de l'Aix and Ile de Re. The various dishes of moules (mussels) were delicious. A large supermarket nearby meant we could stock up for our stay. A really lovely few days in the French country-side

Nice rural location, lovely settings. Unfortunately we didn't get the best weather but if it would of been sunny im sure we would have had a great time by the pool.

Un logement très agréable et au calme. Le confort est de mise avec une bonne literie et un vrai soin apporté à la décoration. Plage accessible en vélo à mon plus grand bonheur.

We loved the look of the place online and it was pretty in reality too. Sadly no views over the surrounding countryside from The Pigeonnier which would have been nice but the price wasn't high so we maybe shouldn't have expected that. It was cold when we were there but the wood burner kept everything nice and warm and there were plentiful logs next door. Sadly the wifi didn't work for 2 of the three nights that we were there and this was a bit stressful as we had work that needed doing. But the owners got it working in the end. The electricity kept shutting off too and we never did find the reason for that. It is in a good spot in terms of access but La Rochelle is at least 30 minutes away so you can't just pop in for dinner. La Rochelle is lovely and we certainly recommend visiting and seeing the Aquarium which was amazing. Lots of work going on in La Rochelle to make it even nicer.

Fabulous stay at a wonderful, isolated location! If you want a quiet, uninterrupted place to relax - this is certainly it! Accommodation is exactly what you should expect and what you get. If you want bars and a bustling nightlife then don’t go!! But if you want peace and time to breathe, and a base from which to travel then go, go, go!! The hosts are welcoming and approachable, unfortunately we went early in the season so the pool wasn’t up and running but it looked great! With Surgeres, La Rochelle and Rochefort only a short distance away it’s ideally located! Excellent stay......thank you!

Sejour très agréable dans un endroit magique un accueil chaleureux je conseille vivement cet endroit aux futurs vacanciers

Logement typique dans un endroit calme, proche de Chatelaillon plage, équipement sommaire, chauffé uniquement au poêle à bois (un chauffage d'appoint au gaz en complément) en hiver avec des températures négatives il est obligatoire de se réveiller la nuit pour recharger le poêle à bois sous peine de se retrouver dans un logement non chauffé, même situation la journée.

We loved our stay at The Pigeonnier, the setting was very warm and calm. It's situated ideally in between two very nice towns, each 30 minutes apart. Suzanne and Nigel ensured we had a comfortable stay, also provided us with a Cot and high chair for our 9 month old. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back during the summer!! Ish
