From the manager

Gite des Forges is a renovated old farm building set on a quiet lane, yet only 500 metres from the centre of the pretty town of Angles, with its 11th century church and busy shops and restaurants. There is even a local wine merchant next door, so you can taste many of the locally produced wines.

The gite has been sympathetically restored and has many original beams on show. There is a south facing garden where you can catch the sun's rays all day and there are sun loungers and patio furniture for your use!

The house has a compact living and dining area along with a well equipped kitchen with built-in oven, induction hob and washing machine.

There are two bedrooms - one with a double bed and the other with three single beds.

Outside there is a charcoal barbecue and patio table and chairs. There is also off-road parking.

The house is only a 10 minute drive from the beaches of The Vendee, and is a great area for walking and cycling. The local area is a haven for wildlife - with lots of migratory birds visiting the Wetlands nearby.

The main attraction of this area is the beach - with Les Conches being the closest and great for surfing and body boarding. For the less adventurous, there is La Tranche sur Mer or Le Veillon, where the long sandy beaches are great for sand castles or relaxing!

There are lots of other attractions in the area - such as karting tracks, neolithic dolmens, a château with a Priate Treasure trail in the garden and the Indian Forest for climbing through the trees, and racing across a lake on a zip wire!

Further details indoors

This renovated house is a great base for a family holiday. It has everything that you would need to make your stay enjoyable and is set in a lovely little town that holds regular events throughout the summer months.

The gite is set on one level, so would be suitable for guests with limited mobility and is within walking distance to local shops and restaurants. There are two bedrooms and a shower room with a separate WC.

Inside, there is an open plan living and kitchen area with newly installed fitted kitchen and large dining table. There is a TV with UK free-to-air channels and DVD player and the kitchen is fully equipped with induction hob, built-in oven, microwave, fridge/freezer and kettle, toaster & coffee maker. There is a washing machine in the shower room. Wi-Fi is available in the house.

Along the hallway, there are two bedrooms, one with a double bed and the other with 3 single beds - all are light and airy and cool in the summer months due to the thick stone walls. Bed linens are provided for each bed, but please bring your own towels and beach towels.

Further details outdoors

Outside there is a large gravelled terrace that catches the sun all day. There is a patio table and chairs, along with a BBQ for your enjoyment - great for al fresco dining! Private off-road parking is also available to the side of the garden. There are many deck chairs for your use.

in 2014 the garden area was extended to include a large lawn for the children to play on.

The gite is not overlooked by any of the neighbouring houses and the quiet lane is set away from the centre of the town.

This is a great base for exploring the local area, with a vast choice of beaches from only 10 minutes away and also some stunning countryside - reclaimed marshlands that have become havens for wildlife. Great for cycling and walking.

Response from the manager
Thanks for this great review! Gite des Forges is very well placed for restaurants and local shops! The summer markets are good to, as is the short drive to the lovely beaches. We are looking to make some changes over the winter to the inside of the gite, so hopefully we will sort out the sofa - plus the garden!
