Summary: Very well equipped house very good size with having three tables and everything you need for cooking and baking. We had 4 adults and two kids and there was plenty of space. Lots of thing in the house to do if rainy day. Swimming pool was very good plenty of chairs to chill next to the pool. Nice location and lots of wild life to see plenty of dears. Unfortunately we had some issues first one was after getting stuck in 3 hours traffic waiting for ferry to get to the house. We were ready to get in and relax we first got out and could smell sewers but thought nothing of it went to the door to get the key but the code which we had from homeaway was different couldn't open it we walk round the house and found the double doors unlocked we then found a folder and that had the right code. So maybe miss communication from owner to homeaway we wouldn't normally mention this but we had more issues so they started to mount up. The other issue was the gardener hadn't turned up and the grass was wild and in some places was higher than my 2 year old lad so couldn't use the garden to it's full potential and the grass was over grown round the pool we were there 2 weeks and never got cut even the old barn next door had its grass cut. The next issue which was the cherry on the top on the second week on Tuesday night my wife was in shower and it flooded not a little bit. the water went to the bed room next door so rang the owner which was helpful and the owner was coming to france the next day any way so said they be their at 11. At the single door the sewer water was running out. So me my wife and little man stayed in for owner and others popped out unfortunately the owner had a flat tyre so was late but as we where outside we noticed if you flushed the toilet water would come out the side of the house near the bbq and seating area not hygienic. Owner came got next door neighbour to see if they could rod it but didn't work so she rang the plumber they where to come friday so from Tue to Friday we had a flood every time we had a shower. We stop using the single door as the smell was terrible and it was over flowing all over the drive. Owner did bring us a bottle of wine for the inconvenience on wed she said the pool was green and put some solution so couldn't use for 24hrs and on fri had to be out as the plumbers were there so basically from tue to fri house was unusable. We were there for a holiday not to wait a round for people and sit in a jungle and waste water

Summary: The property has a good amount of space inside and outside but could do with a little updating including a second bathroom/toilet to make it more perfect. The neighbourhood is very quiet and the location is good for a variety of visits and activities in the area.

Summary: We had the most wonderful holiday here and really could have stayed another 2 weeks. The children adored the pool which was a welcome relief on the blisteringly hot days. Even on the 1 day it rained by 6 o clock the sun was blazing and we were sipping wine and cooking a BBQ. The house was so well equipped with every little thing thought of to make the stay as comfortable as could be. The location for us was perfect. Really quiet and peaceful but just a short drive into the village. And a bonus for me was the local boulangere made and sold artisan gluten free bread. Amazing. The beaches were clean and beautiful and the market in Motalivet was fantasic. We love this place and the house we stayed in so much. Nigel and Elizabeth have thought of everything. Thank you. I think we'll be booking for next summer,

Summary: What a charming place. Peacful, spacious, comfortable, such a treasure. Set idyllic location, with lovely surroundings, a cycle ride to either town to get stick in the morning. A laze by the pool which kept you cool from the sun trap patio. Montalivet beach just a short drive away with a very busy market bustling away. Horseriding and lovely cafes/restaurants near the beach. Brilliant waves, not overcrowded, easy to park. Had a rainy day but not cold and still BBQ'd every evening. Didn't want to return home, just peaceful and tranquil thank you

Summary: Location - Maybe a bit out of the way for some but there are other cottages nearby so you never feel "Alone". The village of Vendays Montalivet is a 20-30 minute walk along the forest tracks which can be negotiated by car with care. Cycling is also an easy option. The village itself has a new supermarket although we found service very slow at busy times. There are a couple of cafes and restaurants as well as a couple of smaller shops. All in all a very pleasant village. The nearest beach at Montalivet was excellent and I thought relatively quiet even on a Sunday in high season. Parking was very good and the beach only got crowded when the tide came in. Property - Loved the large garden. Plenty space for games. The pool is great, perhaps not big enough for "lengths" but ideal for inflatables and games of water polo or volleyball. The outdoor eating area and patio is a sun trap and is a lovely place to relax. Indoors, the kitchen is well equipped and on the odd rainy day we found eating our meals at the kitchen table still very pleasant as it is very light and airy. The bedrooms are nicely decorated, plenty of room and storage space and the beds very comfortable. The lounge is large, very comfortable and the wifi was a boon, especially as we could easily check the local weather reports! There is a huge selection of books and DVDs and this was especially appreciated by our children as we did have a couple of dull and rainy days and evenings (not to mention the most incredible thunderstorm!) I personally have mixed feelings about access to British TV. The kids again loved it so they could keep to date with Big Brother (Yes I know!) but I prefer to get away from home completely so I didn't bother with it. That's a matter for personal choice of course and it is appreciated that the owners have made this available. One other observation would be that if 8 people were staying here, only having 1 toilet and separate bath/shower might make ablution time a bit of a squeeze but I'm sure that this could be managed OK. To sum up, this is probably the best property in itself and for its location that we have stayed at in our various travels around France and it comes highly recommended

Summary: What a wonderful find this cottage is! Set in beautiful peaceful woodland, the garden was huge and very pretty, perfect for the children to play in. The house was very well equipped, so spacious and the beds were very comfortable! We had mixed weather (end of May) and I would say that this area with its wide beaches and outdoor / coastal leisure activities would be at its best in June July and August when it is warmer. However,despite this we found the cottage had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable from a great range of books and games to free wifi, tv etc. to the large garden and pool. The cottage is well situated only a few minutes from the local village and 10 minutes from the beach. Lots of outdoor leisure facilities in the area from surfing, horse riding, cycling along excellent cycle paths, tree running, play parks, wine chateaux, boating etc. Bordeaux was delightful and only 45 mins away. There is a lovely mix of 'old villages' along the Gironde estuary and a really laid back 'surfer' style atmosphere in Montalivet Les Bains and Hourtin Plage. Fantastic restaurant called Le Grillon on Hourtin Plage where we had magnificent Moules, highly recommended! Thank you so much Nigel and Elizabeth, we hope to return again.

Summary: This cottage is a fantastic find! Set in peaceful woodland a beautiful and enormous garden which was great for the children to run and play in. Lovely private pool. Inside everything was extremely well catered for, lots of books, games, home comforts, wifi, excellent kitchen facilities. Extremely comfortable beds too and loads of space!! Perfect location only 10 mins form the beach at Montalivet Les Bains and 2 minutes from the very friendly little village of Vendays Montalivet where we found a good selection of local amenities and where we found our morning croissants each day! Charming area, great variety between the surfer feel of the Atlantic coast and the older more historic look of the wine producing villages along the Gironde estuary. We found a fabulous restaurant in Hourtin Plage called Le Grillon. The Moules Frites were amazing! Highly recommended. Bordeaux was charming and only an hour away. We were a little unlucky to have had quite mixed weather (but it was only the end of May) and as a result it was a little too cold to use the pool most days. However, we found fantastic safe cycle paths, horse riding, Wine tasting, tree running, play parks, picnic areas, the endless beach that was unspoilt and spotless, boating, to keep us entertained and when the sun did come out, the cottage with its very private and beautiful pool area was a fantastic place to be!! The cottage was perfect, thank you so much Nigel and Elizabeth, we hope to return again :))

Summary: If you want a holiday where you can cool off with kids in a fenced-off, safe pool; read books whilst they entertain themselves in the large garden; and cycle around flat, traffic-free lanes then this is the place for you. If you want to explore, then the fantastic beaches of the Atlantic coast are a short drive away, with the most beautiful sand and waves you could wish for. In the other direction, the estuary is pleasant, too, with some nice walks. Try the 'Phare du Richard' - great photo opportunity if your youngest is called Richard (ours is). The villa is clean, light, and well equipped and easily accomodates our family of six. All in all a great holiday, and we've already booked again for 2012!
Mr B. Sep 10, 2010 03:00:08 AM
Summary: This cottage is a very welcoming and homely place to stay. It is very private yet not isolated, within easy cycling distance of several charming, rural villages on tracks or roads with very little traffic. The pool provided hours of entertainment for all six of us, giving respite from the heat. Lizards, moles, and a toad also popped up - to the enjoyment of the children. If you like beaches- the one to go to is Hourtin, where the waves are great for surfing, body surfing or just getting knocked about.

Summary: Haere Mai is a delightful homely cottage ideal for families. The cottage is clean, light and with plenty of space, a perfect family home from home. The house is accurately described and is well equipped with everything you need, from the kitchen equipment to the games, books, wifi, tv and videos. The bedrooms are lovely with good quality comfortable beds and plenty of storage space. We have four young teenagers who throughly enjoyed the lovely pool, playing in the huge garden and using the bicycles to cycle on the many cycle paths to explore and visit local villages. The owners provided excellent service, making sure we had settled in and that everything was in order; they are friendly and helpful and at the end of the phone with any problems which were quickly resolved. (Couldn't work the microwave!) The house itself is in its own grounds, is peaceful, set in a quiet location but only a short drive or cycle ride to the local villages and beaches. The beaches and waves are fabulous and easy to get to with life guards and safe swimming areas in the main areas. The nearest coastal town is only 15minutes away and has a regular market and plenty of restaurants. If you are looking for a quiet relaxing family holiday yet close to all the amenities then I would throughly recommend this cottage. We enjoyed our stay and will be recommending the cottage to our friends and relatives.
