"We have stayed at this property twice, lovely, clean,modern and a great host. The house is attached to the owners home which is surrounded by a lovely large garden. There is a double bed upstairs which is a mezzanine. Downstairs has everything you need plus a double sofa bed. We were there for 3 wks and loved being there. Close to Talmont and short drive to beach. "

"The gite is incredibly photogenic, in a quiet corner of the countryside, about 15 mins drive from the beach. The inaccuracy of the listing was our main issue - there is no washer or dryer, as listed, and the host (whilst lovely) did want to charge us extra for the towels and bedding (listed as included). And a €400 deposit. At the end of a two week long road trip, we had specifically booked because the washer and drier. The gite also lacked anywhere to hang clothes (a three drawer unit was it for the main room) There was also no toaster (as listed) and the air con was only in the conservatory area. The gite was clean - we did have an ant issue (solved by putting all food in the fridge), and some of the crockery and cutlery needed a wash before use. Overall we enjoyed our stay and I think many of the issues we had were as a result of the language barrier and the property being listed on multiple rental sites, all with different extras."

"We enjoyed our stay overall. The place was clean and quiet at night, the swimming pools were good. The accom was clean and facilities provided were good (incl cleaning kit). Good car parking available and a pleasant stroll to the Port through the golf course and lake. However, there are several important areas requiring improvement: - Air conditioning does not exist. We had to leave the door and windows fully open at night which is unfair. While air con may be expensive to install, P&V should provide silent fans for the bedrooms and living area. - Our accommodation (2 bed apartment) was located at the golf club. P&V tried to contact us on the day of arrival to advise but we were travelling and did not receive that notification. Reception was closed for lunch when we arrived. The directions provided were unclear. This caused us a lot of unnecessary hassle when we arrived which could have been prevented. - Requests for an early check-in should be accommodated (for no additional cost) during low season. Occupancy was low where we were staying. - Wifi access did not work (at Bourgenay golf club where we were staying). - The water slide should be operating at the end of June. - The kids play area needs major modernisation. The crazy golf is dated and the playground isn't fit for purpose. - The exterior common areas of the P&V Bourgenay accommodation would benefit from a lick of paint - alot of peeling paint on corridors."
