About L'Ecurie Holiday Cottage

A comfortable, spacious French cottage with everything you need for a relaxing family holiday – from your own private terrace and BBQ to a shared heated pool, huge games room and beautiful countryside views.

L’Ecurie is a welcoming two-bedroom, 4-star holiday cottage, sleeping 4–5 guests. Set within our peaceful village home in Lairoux, it combines traditional French character with the comforts you want from a modern holiday home.

All on one level, it’s particularly popular with families with younger children and older guests. There are no stairs to negotiate, while the spacious layout gives everyone plenty of room to relax.

Inside you'll find:

- Two comfortable bedrooms sleeping 4–5 guests
- Master bedroom with a 160 x 200cm king-size bed, additional single bed and space for a cot
- Twin bedroom with two single beds
- Spacious bathroom with a large 160cm walk-in shower
- Comfortable sitting room with exposed beams and original stonework
- Large leather sofa and armchair
- Wood-burning stove, with an initial supply of logs provided
- 40" Smart TV with UK and French channels, DVD player and CD/USB player
- Fast fibre Wi-Fi throughout the cottage
- Well-equipped kitchen with dishwasher, washing machine, fridge/freezer, oven, gas hob and microwave
- Dining table seating up to six
- Family equipment including highchair, booster seat and cot

Outside, you have your own private space to enjoy:

- Private patio and terrace with dining furniture for six
- Wooden pergola providing shade on sunny afternoons
- Charcoal BBQ – perfect for relaxed family meals
- Views across the garden and surrounding countryside
- Large shared garden
- 12m x 7m heated swimming pool, open from May to the end of September
- Huge shared games room with toys and games for children and adults

The location is another big part of the appeal. The sandy Atlantic beaches of the Vendée are around 15 minutes away, while the Marais Poitevin, local markets, pretty villages, walking and cycling routes are all within easy reach.

Dogs are welcome too, and we provide a few thoughtful extras for four-legged guests.

And because we live on site, we're always nearby if you need local recommendations or a little help during your stay – from finding a good restaurant to choosing which beach to visit. Otherwise, you can simply settle in, switch off and enjoy your holiday at your own pace.

This cottage can also be rented alongside Le Vieux Café (3 bedrooms) for extended family holidays.

We had an amazing time at L’Ecurie Holiday Cottage. The highlight of this holiday was definitely the nighttime swim on the last night. Jason kindly turned on the lights for us. It was magical.
