Fantastic gite
Excellent gite. Very good facilities on site especially if you have young children. The pool is brilliant, safely fenced and nice and warm. The site is very safe for children. The hosts Tom and Eleanor are lovely and immediately help with any queries. I would definitely book the gite again in future if travelling to the Vendee area.

A lovely winter at La Baudonniere
We stayed with Tom and Eleanor at La Baudonniere for months - over winter. I finished my first novel and published it from the cottage. The location was tranquil, and the cottage perfect for our needs. Our hosts were kind and caring and we quickly fell in love with the place and the family!

Lovely area, lovely accommodation. V safe
Lovely cottage and grounds. Very safe for children to roam with loads of animals to see. Accommodation itself was superb and kids were v impressed to have wifi!! Park area was great with a large trampoline. Only downside was that the pool was too cold to enjoy and could have done with being heated. Owners were lovely and very accommodating. Would recommend

Perfect cottage, excellent reception
We stayed in this cottage in august. The cottage has all the equipment you need and has a private garden. The owners are very friendly. On a rainy day they provided us all extra toys for our children, which was really nice. The cottage is very well furnished. On arrived there was a small welcome package ready for us, which is reallly exactly what you need after a long travel. The pool was perfect and surrounded by deckchiares. On the property there are some animals (2 horses, 2 pigs, 3 chickens) which is realy nice for the children. There a few villages nearby, as well as lake with a small beach. Keep in mind that this is less touristic and more rural part of the Vendee. Nevertheless there a some good restaurants within less than five minutes driving.

About the host

Hosted by Eleanor and Tom Bannigan

Host profile image
We’re Eleanor and Tom Bannigan! We are from Ireland and we’ve been living in France since 2005. We travelled to many regions of France on family holidays, but fell in love with the Vendée countryside, its culture and its people.

Running the B&B, gîte and campground takes a lot of energy and hard work, but what makes it all worthwhile are the people we encounter along the way. We’d love to meet you too, so why not join us for a piece of our journey? Book your next holiday rental and accommodation in the Vendée, with us!

Sincerely,
The Bannigans

Why they chose this property

Through the garden gate, you have easy access to a private parking space, the manor grounds, the playground, and the heated swimming pool. Or after taking in the history and beautiful scenery of the Vendée, or sunbathing along the Atlantic coast, come home and throw open the French-door windows to enjoy a glass of wine and a barbeque on the terrace.

The gîte is available for nightly, weekly or monthly rental all year-round, and for up to 6-month rental or B&B from October 1st through March 31st. Breakfast is available for our guests at the Manoir with reservation.
