What guests say...
"We have just returned from a fabulous holiday at Domaine des Plantes, The house, garden and pool were terrific. House was very well equipped, the TV for watching the World Cup Football was perfect!! Everything clean and tidy on our arrival and Eric, the owner, was on hand to meet us and was very helpful and brought us fresh fish during the week which was wonderful. Country walks direct from the house which was a great bonus and the coast with fabulous walks and shops and restaurants just a 15 minute drive away. We have already booked again for 2019." Rennie family 2018.
"Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. We have loved every minute of our stay. The house is just lovely and perfect for a family. It was well equipped and even had more than we expected. The swimming pool was a dream and a god send. We spent many a day cooling off in it. The sauna was a nice touch and we thoroughly enjoyed that. The view and the surrounds were amazing. It's one view we are going to miss. Loved spending many a nights listening to the frogs sing while we enjoyed the beautiful weather drinking the local wine. The local town and St Giles had everything we needed. Cannot wait to book our next trip and just relax again." Bean family.
"I just wanted to say how much we enjoyed our stay and how marvellous the house was. The owner was exceptionally helpful on the couple of occasions we required his help. If you could pass on my thanks and mention our complete satisfaction/delight with the house, I would be grateful. We'll certainly return in the future." Davis family.
"This place is absolutely heaven for kicking back and letting life flow over you. Sitting by the pool, listening to buzzards, jays and toads. We have seen roe deer, water voles, hares, harriers and more... The local boulangerie is awsome ! A visit to the small vineyard at St Philbert de Bouaine (Epiard) will satisfy your wine needs. The Velo-Rail is a giggle and you have to have a meal at the local Hotel de la Gare - very, very good." Hayward family.
"The owner couldn't have been more pleasant. Whilst the property wasn't spotless, it was clean and the pool was perfect. The villa was well equipped and the owner showed us his own private log store so that barbecues were easy to create. We will be going back next year. The station restaurant nearby was very good and we found other good restaurants on the coast road and in Bretingolles sur mer. St Gilles - the markets were stunning!!" Thackrah family.
