Overall, a great villa for an active family in a quiet location

La Fermette is in a small, quite hamlet five minutes drive from local shops and half an hour from major shops and facilities in lovely La Roche sur Yon. The grounds are spacious with the excellent swimming pool and tennis court being highlights of our holiday. Internally, the living area is large with plenty of seating and the adjacent patio is great for al fresco dining. The kitchen/dining area is big enough but the kitchen fittings and facilities need a makeover. Showers and WCs are adequate. There are four bedrooms but the configuration would not suit all. Two on the ground floor are suitable for couples. However, the two first floor bedrooms have extremely creaky floors with no ceiling below and any movement upstairs creates very loud noises in the bedrooms below. Beware also that conversation in the ground floor bedrooms is amplified in the first floor bedrooms! We would have liked flyscreens on the bedroom windows for ventilation. The staircase to the first floor has very restricted height and 3 out of 4 adults managed to bump their heads.

HOME FROM HOME IN PEACE AND QUIET

Very comfortable, well maintained and equipped rural retreat for active and less active alike! Lots of comfortable sofas for reading and watching the Olympics and lots of activities for the more active family members. The pool is really good with a lovely deep end and a fence to keep out the toddlers. The lack of light pollution gave the most glorious night skies. Easy to use and very relaxed and friendly owners. Hard to come back home...

Best France Holiday by far!!!

We have just got back and did not want to leave. Fantastic house, facilities and location. Pool, tennis and other games were such a bonus and great fun. Weather was great too. Many thanks to Mike and Bobbi for letting us rent their house. Highly recommend for a great family holiday. Many thanks from the Coxon's.

Fabulous Holiday

Oh how we loved this beautiful place, very rural and peaceful. Suited us so well with the wonderful pool, tennis court, and of course the table football, well used in the evening! Great for walking and cycling in the area, with lovely little villages around. Shopping locally or in the brilliant market at La Roche meant we had bbq's most nights with superb food. Everything as it says and would certainly recommend, it is an excellent family retreat and obviously loved by the helpful owners over the years.

About the host

Hosted by Mike Bolwell

We live in Dorset and bought La Fermette 24 years ago. We employed a French architect to renovate the very dilapidated farm house into the stylish and spacious house that it is today - a 'home away from home'.

We have spent lots of fantastic holidays at La Fermette, shared with many members of family and friends. Unfortunately we are not able to visit the house on a very regular basis so we decided to rent the house. It is in such a lovely peaceful setting with lots of facilities including our own swimming pool and tennis court - together with a beautiful golf course within fifteen minutes drive plus miles of walking and cycling opportunities. Not to mention the lovely regional French food!
