The accommodation consists of a range of independent character stone cottages surrounded by spacious landscaped gardens, in the shadow of a beautiful 12th century church. The on-site facilities include the heated swimming pool, children’s play-area and table-tennis.  All our gîtes are equipped with UK satellite TV.

 

The local beaches are only a few minutes away by car or 20 minutes by bicycle. If you prefer, you can spend the day relaxing beside the swimming pool.

 

Children over the age of 12 are allowed to camp in the garden by special request.

 

 

"We have enjoyed a tremendous holiday which surpassed our expectations. The pool and table tennis have been a particular pleasure and it has been lovely to spend time in a warm, welcoming and safe environment. Thank you for making a memorable holiday."

"Quality gite, stunning location, the swimming pool made the holiday for the children, very friendly hosts especially Luc and Tristan. Good beaches, lots to do in the area. All in all a very relaxing and enjoyable holiday - a little more sun next time needed." (G. family, gite 4, from West Yorkshire).

You can choose from 6 gites all of a different character  catering for different requirements. Our largest gite (holiday house with 3 bedrooms) can accommodate up to 8 people and is ideal for a large family or two families sharing. Our smallest gite has just one bedroom and is ideal for a couple or a small family. 

Our gites are ideal for children, with large enclosed gardens, fenced swimming pool, table tennis, bikes for hire, swings and, most importantly, other children on-site for your children to play with. The owners have 3 children.

The Normandeliere beach, at Bretignolles sur-mer, is a superb beach, with a very good créperie on the beach itself. There is also a sea lake at the Normandeliere which is ideal for younger children.

 

The Puy du Fou is one of the most famous attractions the Vendee has to offer and is only a 90 minute drive from Dolphin Gites. Large medieval park with a superb falconry display, jousting Knights, gladiators and Vikings. 

 

Apremont is a very attractive village, with a beautiful chateau, river beach, etc. Well worth a visit.

 

The Vendée has many opportunities for cycling, swimming, fishing, sailing, sunbathing, surfing, walking, etc. 

 

The Vendee beaches are usually surveyed by the CRS who volunteer as life guards in the summer months.
