Guest comments
We've had a lovely holiday. Cottage had everything we needed - and more! If we come to the Vendée again we will hope to stay here. Thank you. A & M.S Herts. Aug 2009.
Had a wonderful time and exactly what we were looking for. Beautiful cottage with all mod cons and a great garden to BBQ and unwind in. Set in a great location, we would love to return next year but for longer! N & N.M Dublin Aug 2009.
Have thoroughly enjoyed our week and will come again. Every need and more catered for in the cottage, like home from home. P & S.V Guernsey April 2009.

About the owner
My husband and I bought Lavande Cottage, which is a renovated 'Vendéen Long House' in 2002 and used it regularly as a holiday home for us and our children whilst living and working in the UK. In 2006 we had the opportunity to buy a near derelict cottage, barn, Pressoir and garages opposite Lavande Cottage, and in 2007 we decided to develop the property using a local architect and artisans. Late in 2007 when the development was nearing completion, rather than just sell or rent out the new property, we decided that my husband would take early retirement, and we would move permanently to France into the new house, which is what we did early in 2008. With our 3 children all having left home and with both our parents no longer with us, it was a relatively simple thing for us to do.
Year purchased: 2002
Why the owner chose a home in this location
The permanent move to France, with the great weather and a more relaxed way of life, has been something we have not regretted. We decided to keep our original holiday home 'Lavande Cottage', which gave us many years of pleasure, to enable other visitors to come and enjoy the many benefits the cottage and the Vendée Department have to offer.
We look forward to seeing you soon.
