Amazing stay... I came out when I needed headspace from the busy-ness and speed of London. Sad to leave 5d later, could easily stay longer. The tranquility, peace and nature have relaxed my mind and body. I’ve slept well, enjoyed the pool, reading and the animals, all of which has nurtured me. Alyson is a warm and kind hostess and I would recommend a stay to anyone that needs a break from city life!

Alyson is a fabulous host and La Ferme De La Vallee is a little gem in the Poitou-Charentes area. I have visited twice now, in Spring (with friends) and late Summer (last minute break on my own for much needed R&R) and will definitely be back again. Only 30 mins drive from Poitiers airport, set in some very picturesque countryside this has a lovely rural feel but you still have great facilities nearby in Vasles and Parthenay for all supermarket essentials (excellent wine and cheese in my case), and some fab little places in the area to dine at and soak up the french atmosphere when you don't feel like cooking. This really is a working farm, so although you can lounge poolside and easily while away the sunny days there's also the fun option of joining in with the animal feeding (twice daily) and listening to your knowledgeable host talk about what it's like to actual run one of these things. I take my hat off to her! As part of the room booking you receive a lovely basket of freshly laid eggs, a home made brioche loaf and jam which are divine. Guest rules are all very straight forward and there's a good galley kitchen with all the useful bits you would expect. Given the reasonable rates my top tip would be the book both rooms in the Gite and have the place to yourself. There's also a Chambre d'Hote in the main farmhouse which can sleep another couple people, so actually perfect if organising a large group trip for family or friends. Hope to return soon!
Great peaceful place in nature for unwinding the city stress. Taking part in farming activities is a possibility which I loved. I could get close to the animals especially the horses. One can also choose for long walks in the endless fields and woods. Reconnect to nature. Perfect for a well-deserved retreat.
Having met the owner previously had a good weekend .
Très bon rapport qualité/prix. L'hôtesse Alyson est intéressante et rafraîchissante avec son petit accent anglais et proposera volontiers aux enfants de nourrir avec elle les animaux. Nous avons apprecié la chambre spacieuse et confortable d'une ancienne ferme typique des environs avec salle de bain attenante ainsi qu'une petite kitchenette. Nous avons eu droit aux oeufs ultra frais le matin ainsi qu'une brioche préparée par Alyson, accompagnée de sa confiture maison aux fruits du jardin. Grande piscine et nombreux matelas, bouées, pistolets à eau, chaises longues et barbecue charbon à disposition. Lapins, moutons, chevaux, canards, oies, oiseaux et chats ferons le bonheur des petits et des grands. Nous reviendrons c'est sûr.
Très sympa pour se détendre, avec la piscine, les animaux, le calme. La chambre est très propre, il y a le wifi, un frigo et une belle salle de bain. L'hôte est très gentille et propose de l'aider à nourrir les animaux, très chouette à faire. Je recommande
De très bonnes vacances à la ferme avec une accueil exceptionnel
Gîte et accueil chaleureux
