About this property

Spacious Villa, situated in a quiet cul-de-sac enclosed by private gardens.

St Hilaire la Forêt is a historically fascinating village in the Vendée, just 4.5 km from the nearest beach. The village square, a 6 minute walk away, boasts a church, the Mairie, a pétanque alley, a grocery shop and bar. The shop and bar sell fresh baguettes and croissants every morning. The Stone Age museum ‘Le Cairn – Centre de la Préhistoire is a wonderful place to discover the Stone Age through child friendly hands-on activities, exhibits and information about the local monolithic sites of which there are a number. There are numerous on and off-road cycle paths that start and end in the village and take in the local area including the towns of Jard sur Mer with its Port and Longeville sur Mer, the wonderful expanses of beaches at le Bouil, le Rocher and les Conches as well as the local countryside of sunflower and maize fields with the odd vineyard thrown in for good measure!
The area has so much to offer for a variety of age groups, and interest groups from watersports, to nature.

Quiet village within easy reach of the coast

The property had everything we needed. The garage was particularly good to store our bike. We enjoyed the quiet roads and tracks only visiting the coast on a couple of occasions.

Maison plus grande qu'elle en a l'air très bien équipée (on pourrait y vivre à l'année) au calme avec terrain.Pas loin ( en voiture ) des plages.Mais aussi dans une zone oú à quelques km on peut voir des menhirs et des dolmens. A voir dans la commune le centre sur la préhistoire.

Beaucoup de bruit

C'etait supposé que la maison etait calme et pourtant, comme par hasard une departementale passe derriere la maison. Maison sans âme, bruyante. Literie mauvaise, publicité à mon goût mensongère Rien d'autre à dire. Je ne retournerai jamais dans cette maison, et je la deconseille.

Merci d’avoir pris le temps pour donner votre avis sur la maison. Nous sommes déçus de savoir que vous n’avez pas bien aimé la maison. C’est le premier fois que nous avons reçu un avis pas favorable. Cet une maison moderne, bien équipée et sans désordre que nous croyons est correctement représenté sur le site web. C’est dommage que nous n’avons pas eu la possibilité de s’occuper du problème de literie pendant votre séjour. Nous chercherons de le rectifier à l’avenir.

Frühling in der Bretagne

Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Das Haus ist gut ausgestattet mit allem was man benötigt. Die Umgebung ist traumhaft. Sonnenliegen, Gartenmöbel... alles wie beschrieben. Ein wenig traurig das " Wäschepaket" für 50Euro. Aber für uns noch ok. Ansonsten haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Einziger kleiner Punkt war das sehr durchgesessene Ledersofa.

Saint-Hilaire-la-Forêt

We found the property to be clean and very well equipped. We especially appreciated the UK television as we were in France for the Queens funeral. It was quiet and relaxed with nearby wonderful beaches which we were able to use on an almost daily basis as we were very lucky with the weather. thank you to the owners for making this property available to rent

Very well equipped and functional house with 6 km access to the beaches

The house is very well equipped and has a great garage for storing your bikes and equipment. Each room has a nice cupboard to store your stuff. Their is a small supermarket in town which also carries fresh bread in the morning. The only thing missing in the garden is a larger roofed area to sit outside ... against the sun and the rain. There is a nice bicycle trail right from the center of the town to the beaches - 6 km away .... the best beach for us was Conches ... 10 km by bike. The contact with Andrea our host was excellent. We can recommend this location.

Very good

This was overall one of the best properties that we have stayed in France. The location was very convenient, and nice and quiet. The kitchen was well equipped was every utensil you could ever want to prepare a meal. The bed was comfortable as was the lounge. The basket of tea, coffee & wine was a really nice surprise. The instructions in both English and French were clear and most helpful. We also liked the satellite TV and English DVD's & books. Because on Pat's mobility, the only other thing that we would have liked is a handrail in the shower. We hope to return next year for a longer stay

A lovely holiday home perfectly located in the Vendée.

After searching for some time for a holiday home that offers good facilities as well as being close to the coast we decided on Andrea’s property and were not disappointed. The house is located in St Hilaire la Forêt, a pretty village set just back from the coast offering a more relaxing and authentic French experience rather than staying in the swathe of holiday villages right on the coast. The house is far better equipped than many holiday apartments that we have visited, it is spacious, nicely furnished, and has a lovely garden. If you like cooking then the kitchen is a real treat and has all that you will need to cater for a family, with the choice of large dining tables both inside and out. There is also a secure garage that is absolutely great if you cycle and take bikes on holiday with you. Shopping in the area is well provided for, we stocked up at the large 'Super U' supermarket in Jard-sur-Mer which we preferred as it has a great selection of fresh foods and wines, but there is an equally large supermarket in Longville-sur-Mer, both are only a short car drive away. There is also a small shop in the village for basic items. Once settled in we took to our bikes and quickly worked out the best cycle trails to the beaches, the cycle routes start next to the 'Mairie' in the centre of the village. Twenty minutes or so of cycling through fields of sunflowers brings you to beautiful Atlantic beaches such as Le Bouil, really great for swimming, paddle boarding and searching out crabs in the rock pools at low tide! We also headed down the coast a little way by car to visit the popular seaside town of La Tranche-sur-Mer, I learnt to windsurf here many years ago and it still has an excellent nautical centre with great windsurfing and sailing facilities. La Rochelle airport which is served by several UK operators is only a little over an hour's drive away so Granny was able to visit us whilst we were staying. It is also an easy journey to the fascinating Ile de Ré, the ports of La Flotte and Saint-Martin-de-Ré on the island as well as the lighthouse at the westernmost tip are really worth a visit if you have time, although it’s best not to cross the bridge on a Saturday in the high season as you will queue in traffic for a very long time! So all in all a highly enjoyable stay in a lovely holiday home with so much to see and do in the area for a two week holiday. We really look forward to returning!

About the host

Hosted by Andrea Bennison

Host profile image
Both myself and my husband are Francophiles, and have been visiting France for many years. I work as a foreign language teacher in England. Having a property in France is both a dream, and an opportunity to introduce the French language and culture to our children.

Why they chose this property

Saint Hilaire is a typical rural french village. We had stayed in the small local camp site (unfortunately since clsoed) and enjoyed the friendly locals, good local amenities and safe cycling, walking, and beaches all close by.

What makes this property unique

The Villa is situated in a quiet mature cul-de-sac. With no through traffic, and a large enclosed garden, it is a safe environment for children and ideal to find a relaxing space. The location allows easy cycle access to beaches, wildlife, and country walks, and a range of restaurants to suit all budgets.
