We loved our cottage Catalpa with a private terrace and it was handy as it overlooked the park area so we could keep an eye on our children while they were playing. We really enjoyed the delicious meal which was organised. It was so nice to relax and the children could play with other new friends they had met during their holiday also staying at Chez Belliveau. I have a 3 year old and a 9 year old and they were both entertained with the park area, pool and games room.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dave \/ august 2017 \/ CHERRY<\/strong><br \/>\nWe had a wonderful time at Chez Belliveau. A quiet location in the French countryside but with easy access to the local towns and villages. The cottage was well equipped with everything we needed and had space outside to enjoy the sunshine. The large garden meant there was plenty of space for the kids to run around and play with their friends. The pool was a good size with ample sun loungers and seats.<br \/>\nThe surrounding area was excellent for running and cycling with quiet roads and picturesque villages to explore. The beaches were sandy and clean and the Cote Savage was great for waves and body boarding. All round a fabulous and relaxing holiday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Elodie \/ ao\u00fbt 2017 \/ CHESTNUT<\/strong><br \/>\nLe g\u00eete chez Thierry est vraiment comme d\u00e9crit, au calme, dans un cadre vraiment beau et pas loin de la mer.

We found Chez Belliveau ideally situated and only 20 minutes from the nearest beaches and towns of Royan &amp; Saintes.<\/p>\n<p>We have no hesitation in recommending Chez Belliveau to our family and friends and anyone wanting a relaxing holiday in France with great accommodation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tim and Bek, august 2017<\/strong><br \/>\nOnce again we returned to Chez Belliveau and once again we were welcomed by Thierry and Isabelle who are the perfect hosts, always on hand if needed. This is our 5th visit to Chez Belliveau which speaks for itself really, we return because of the relaxed atmosphere and surroundings with the amazing pool, games room, bar and well kept grounds Thierry and Isabelle have worked really hard to make their gites the perfect place to stay. A great location for exploring this beautiful area we love the beaches on the Cote Savage the best, a bit of a trek up and over the dunes but well worth the effort! Thank you once again Thierry and Isabelle for a wonderful holiday I&#8217;m sure we will return!<\/p>\n<p><strong>James, Steph, George and Florence, august 2017<\/strong><br \/>\nWe stayed in Yew Tree Cottage which was has a lovely old French farmhouse feel. The kitchen is a good size for self-catering and the lounge\/diner is very big and airy. The children\u2019s bedroom upstairs was ideal with 2 bunk beds and a single while the double beds were comfy with proper mattresses. The pool and the play area are ideal for young families and as per last year the children all enjoyed playing together. It is good the parents can relax with the children in a safe environment. Thanks Thierry and Isabelle for another good year at Chez Belliveau.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bruno,aout 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thierry et sa femme sont de tr\u00e8s belles personnes qui n hesiteront pas a vous conseiller sur la r\u00e9gion qu&#8217;ils connaissent tr\u00e8s bien.

Les enfants ont beaucoup appr\u00e9ci\u00e9 la salle de jeux pour jouer au ping pong, la grande aire de jeux de plein pour les jeux de ballon ainsi que la piscine. Ils ont pu y rencontrer d&#8217;autres enfants pour jouer ensemble pour le plus grand bonheur des parents qui peuvent ainsi appr\u00e9cier quelques moments de tranquillit\u00e9.

A baby bed and high chair was provided without problems , the gite was small but well maintained with cute decoration. The grounds are large with big swimming pool and large play ground for children.

We have just come back from a week in Yew Tree Cottage and had a really lovely time. The cottage is very comfortable and extremely well equipped, we are a family of 5 and there was plenty of space for us all, the little touches like toilet paper, dishwasher tablets, hand towels, fairy liquid made our arrival so much more welcoming as we didn&#8217;t have to think about the immediate essentials, not to mention the chilled rose, water and galette waiting for us on arrival! The grounds of the property are beautiful and peaceful, the flowers and gardens so well maintained, our children loved the play area with its football, sandpit, play houses and climbing frames plus loads of toys to play with. The pool area is fantastic with sun or shade to sit or lie in, our children loved playing in both the children&#8217;s and big pools while my husband and I could relax and watch them, or join in! It was so nice to have a proper washing line too to dry all the towels at the end of the day. The property is very well located and easy to find, we picked up a Super U drive on our way in at Saujon which is highly recommended and only minutes away. Thierry delivered our bread and pastries in the morning which was a real treat too!

Alex and Luca loved the play park, sand pit and the pool. The cottage Chestnut was ideal with its private terrace and the interior is spacious and relaxing. The children enjoyed the play room with table tennis, football table and the pool table. They loved exploring the woods nearby and seeing the chickens and sheep in the field next door.\u00a0 Daddy also managed to have some time to go for a run in the woods as there are lots of quiet roads and tracks around the house, perfect for cycling or running. The beaches are just a short drive away less than 30 minutes. This cottage is ideal for a family with a baby or toddler as it is all flat. Alex is 22 months old and we found that it was ideal for us. There is only a little step inside the house. The area is perfect, nearby there are lots of fun and interesting places to visit such as the Ferme de Magna. ( Childrens farm with activities), Saintes (beautiful town) also has a little train to visit the town, \u00a0Paleosite, Caves and beaches at Meschers, the Aquarium at La Rochelle and much more. See you all again very soon! &#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Beno\u00eet et ses amis \/ Week end septembre 2016 \/ CATALPA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00ab\u00a0Accueil tr\u00e8s cool, Thierry est disponible et accessible.

We stayed in Catalpa cottage, 2 very nice pools and plenty of grounds for the children to play in. A real bonus was the morning delivery of bread and pastries from the boulangerie. This summed up the helpfulness of Thierry and Isabelle, they were great hosts and the children really warmed to them. Having them on-site was very helpful and provided us with so much local knowledge from vinyards, beaches, local markets and booking us into La Table restaurant in Meursac.<\/p>\n<p>The bar on site is great for bringing everyone together and the weekly meal on a wednesday night was really nice and was great to mix with the other families.

We also had fun exploring the Charente Maritime area and would recommend a visit to Saintes to see the Roman amphitheatre, and the beaches at Meschers (Plage des Vergnes and Plage des Nonnes) as well as experiencing the stunning beaches and waves on the Cote Sauvage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DUNCAN \/ JULY 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Although we only stayed 2 nights, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

Thierry was prompt and informative in his correspondence prior to booking and I\u2019m very glad we did. The photos of the gites don\u2019t do them justice. Spacious enough, spotlessly clean and well equipped with an unexpected level of privacy. The grounds are beautifully maintained with facilities and activities suitable for all age groups. My 6 year old mastered the monkey bars and my 3 year old graduated from the baby pool to the big pool. My husband and I enjoyed a few runs around the local roads but Meursac isn\u2019t walking distance and there isn\u2019t much there. We got in the car to visit Saintes, La Palmyre, Mornac sur Seudre and Talmont sur Gironde, all picturesque and well within 30 minutes drive. A relaxing, fun week and good value for money.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SOPHIE ET MARTIN &#8211; AUGUST 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thierry et Isabelle ont un acceuil chaleureux et pratique. Nous avons passe un sejour tres agreable dans le gite Camelia avec nos 3 enfants, dont un bebe. Thierry et Isabelle nous ont prete tout ce qu\u2019il faillait pour notre bebe, et nos deux filles se sont beaucoup amuse dans la piscine et avec les jeux offerts dans le joli jardin. Le gite est tres bien equipe et decore avec sensibilite. La petite livraison du boulanger tous les matins etait tres sympa aussi. Nous n\u2019hesiterons pas a recommender le gite pour nos amis ni a revenir en visite nous meme une autre fois.<\/p>\n<p><strong>KATHRYN &amp; PHILIP PERKINS -AUGUST 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Chez Belliveau is the ideal spot for families with children. Thierry and Isabelle have thought of everything and were very helpful. We stayed in Catalpa which sleeps eight comfortably with a bathroom and shower upstairs and a shower room and separate toilet downstairs. The cottages are well equipped with crockery and cutlery and cooking bits and pieces.<br \/>\nOur grandchildren loved the safe freedom they had to play in the \u201cpark\u201d with the swings and other equipment and especially enjoyed the pool. Thierry maintains everything very well and the gardens are beautiful. It is a lovely place to stay.<br \/>\nThe beaches are about a thirty minute pretty drive away. We were blessed with lovely weather and the family spent three days on sandy, safe beaches.<br \/>\nThere are things to do locally and Thierry has many information leaflets to help with your choice.<br \/>\nChez Belliveau is a good base if you don\u2019t mind driving to get to where you want to go. The nearest supermarket was about ten to fifteen minutes away in the car, (Super U) but Thierry takes orders for bread and croissants each night so they are delivered fresh each morning to your door!<br \/>\nWe drove there, but it is a LONG journey. I would seriously consider flying to a local airport and hiring a car locally next time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE CHANDLER FAMILY &#8211; JULY 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Just had a superb week at Chez Belliveau. Very nice cottage, excellent pool and plenty of grounds for the children to play in. Morning delivery of bread, croissants and pain au raisin too! Plus table tennis, table football and pool table to keep kids amused.<br \/>\nA huge bonus was the bar on site manned by the ever helpful owners Thierry and Isobel. Plus they did a meal for all on site one evening which was really nice and great to mix with the other families.<br \/>\nRestaurant la Table is a must visit whilst there, Thierry will book for you.<br \/>\nHighly recommended and thank you very much Thierry and Isobel.<br \/>\nWe hope to return!<\/p>\n<p><strong>JEANETTE, NEIL, AND WILLIAM &#8211; AUGUST 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thank you both for your warm and generous hospitality. Our weeks stay at Chez Belliveau was thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing. We loved the gite and complex which were so clean and well equipped and the great facilities for families including the beautiful pool and green areas \u2013 not forgetting the table tennis, pool table and table football which our son loved! It was a pleasure to meet you and enjoy this beautiful part of France. A week was really not enough \u2013 and so we hope to return some time for a longer stay!<br \/>\nMany thanks and best wishes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>OLIVIER, JULIE ET LOU \/ JUILLET 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Une adresse coup de coeur que ce soit pour des vacances en famille ou entre amis!!<br \/>\nNous avons pass\u00e9 2 semaines fantastiques avec notre petite fille d\u20191 an et demi qui s\u2019est amus\u00e9e autant que nous nous sommes repos\u00e9s<br \/>\nLes gites (nous en avons test\u00e9 2) sont spacieux, propres et fonctionnels.

The nearest town has 3 supermarkets and the Yew tree has a well equipped kitchen for preparing meals. In the main season period, Thierry runs a small bar, with an old cognac distillery in it.

Your welcome was as usual truly lovely and it was so good to see you both again. I have no hesitation in recommending your lovely Gites at Chez Belliveau to anyone. You have made so many improvements since you took over from the previous owners, we\u2019ve seen a lot of positive changes over the years that we have been coming to stay. Our stay with you is made so much easier for us as you speak very good English and asking for help and local advise couldn\u2019t be simpler! Chez Belliveau which has its own pool and is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is very close to local beaches and other attractions and amenities, so it\u2019s ideal for all generations from very young upwards. During the day you have full use of the pool, surrounding grounds and all other amenities, there is an indoor games room with various activities for you to enjoy with table tennis, table football, darts and a pool table etc. Also to have the option of either relaxing in your own Gite and surrounding grounds or join other guests in the bar in the evenings is great. Thierry and Isabelle are always on hand if you need anything extra, they even deliver fresh croissants and baguettes in the morning to you door supplied by a local baker!. A truly ideal location for a fantastic holiday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>KAREN, NICK AND CHILDREN \/ AUGUST 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thank you to Thierry and Isabelle for another wonderful holiday. We love being in a rural location but still an easy drive from the beaches and Chez Belliveau itself offers everything we could possibly want in a holiday \u2013 lovely pool, comfortable gite, happy kids and good company. A home from home (but with much better pains au chocolat!). A l\u2019ete prochain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>KATE, KEVIN, FINLEY AND ISLA SUPPLE AND GRANDPARENTS, MIKE AND SUE BOWYER &#8211; AUGUST 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As a family we had booked to spend three weeks In Yew Tree but an unexpected wedding invitation meant we all had to change our plans. Thierry helped us sort things out and Kate &amp; family spent a week in Camellia cottage followed by us all together inYew Tree. Unfortunately Thierry couldn\u2019t do anything about the rain in the first week but the children still made the most of the safe play area and found plenty to do with the friends they made. We were more fortunate with the weather for the second week and found plenty to do in the area, as well as making use of the excellent pool area. We already knew the area from past holidays but much had changed since we had last been to the Charente Maritime so we were all glad of Thierry\u2019s local knowledge. The bread delivery each morning was very welcome and the weekly \u2018get together\u2019 for an excellent meal cooked by Isabelle was a fun way of meeting up with everyone else staying at Chez Belliveau. The toys available for the younger visitors, together with the games room make it a good all round destination for a relaxing family holiday, whatever the ages. The cottages are all well equipped and Thierry is there immediately to deal with any problems that might arise. The Charente Maritime area has a wide variety of things to do and the weather is (normally!) warm and sunny for most of the year. You will find the welcome at Chez Belliveau well worth the journey.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FAMILLE GIBAUT, AUGUST 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thank you Thierry and Isabelle for a wonderful holiday at Chez Belliveau. Our girls loved the pool and play areas (as did we!) and can\u2019t wait to come back again. There is certainly lots to do in the surrounding area and we especially enjoyed visiting Talmont and the nearby chateau. We had a lovey evening meal, hosted by yourselves, with the other guests and their families. There are many places still on our list to see and we are looking forward to a return visit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>KEVIN\/SUE\/JOEL\/EVE GUNNER \u2013 AUGUST 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We have just returned from a week\u2019s stay at Chez Belliveau with our two children aged 14 and 10. We booked flights to Bordeaux and then hired a car. We were greeted warmly after our travels (1-1.5 hours by car from Bordeaux) by our hosts with a very-welcome drink from the bar and then a tour of the owners\u2019 fantastic site. Our cottage (Camelia) was perfectly comfortable and well-equipped. The grounds themselves are meticulously maintained by Thierry and Isabelle and their hard work and pride in providing a safe and pleasant environment is obvious to see and appreciate. There is plenty of room for children to run around, a play area, ball games and sports such as table tennis for older children are available under cover. The highlight has to be the swimming pool which was a very peaceful, pretty and safe area. The morning arrival of freshly-baked bread and croissants on our doorstep was a huge hit with our kids. Venturing further afield, the local region is very beautiful with a variety of pretty villages and beaches to visit during your stay such as Talmont-sur-Gironde and Meschers. Our hosts remained in the background but were always available to recommend places to visit and provide directions\/maps to ensure you get the best from your stay. On the Thursday evening, Isabelle cooked a delicious dinner which everyone staying attended and was thoroughly enjoyable, particularly as our group was a very sociable one, with all the children and adults enjoying each other\u2019s company throughout our stay! I hope we can keep in touch. All in all, a very hospitable, relaxing and enjoyable stay and one that we shall remember for many years to come, perhaps the best gite holiday in France we have experienced (we really didn\u2019t want to go home!).<\/p>\n<p><strong>CLAIRE, PAUL, AMELIE, TOBY AND FLORENCE FROM READING, UK \/ AUGUST 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We really enjoyed our stay in your beautiful region, especially the gorgeous beaches so close by.

We were overwhelmed with our amazing hosts \u2013 Thierry and Isabelle \u2013 so kind and helpful, they did everything possible to make our stay a happy one (including doing some food shopping when we had no transport). I sincerely hope we can return one day to see more of the area.<br \/>\nThank you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LISA AND PAUL GRAVES \/ AUGUST 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thank you, Thierry and Isabelle, for providing a wonderfully relaxing holiday at Chez Belliveau, of which the highlight was the beautifully kept swimming pool. We certainly got our money\u2019s worth from it, with our 13 year old daughter waiting at the pool area gate at 10am! It was a job to persuade our three children to visit the surrounding area (which is beautiful), as they wanted to stay in the pool all day!<br \/>\nWe were also lucky that the other five families had children with a range of ages and they all got on so well. The dinner Isabelle cooked for us all on the Thursday was a great success; everyone enjoyed it.<br \/>\nWe would have no hesitation in recommending Chez Belliveau to others.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FAMILLE VIVIER, JUILLET 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nous avons de nouveau beaucoup appr\u00e9ci\u00e9 ( apr\u00e8s un 1er s\u00e9jour en avril) notre semaine de juillet, dans un g\u00eete spacieux et reposant.<\/p>\n<p>Tout est tr\u00e8s bien entretenu et fleuri et la piscine, tr\u00e8s plaisante \u00e9galement, a permis \u00e0 toute notre famille d\u2019en profiter pleinement.<\/p>\n<p>La situation de ces g\u00eetes est id\u00e9ale et l\u2019accueil d\u2019Isabelle et Thierry, nous incite \u00e0 y revenir.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE GIBSON FAMILY, ENGLAND, JULY 2014.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dear Isabelle and Thierry,<br \/>\nWe wanted to say how much we enjoyed our stay in Cherry a few weeks ago. You made us feel so welcome and were always available whenever we needed to ask a question, yet at the same time you were unobtrusive hosts, leaving us to enjoy a peaceful garden and pool area. Our two boys (11 and 9 years) really appreciated the open space to kick their football around in and the pool was plenty big enough for everyone who wanted to swim.<br \/>\nOur cottage, Cherry, had everything we needed and was clean, spacious and private. Having our breakfast bread and pastries delivered was a special treat, which was hard to resist, and your communal meal on the Thursday evening was a wonderful opportunity to meet and talk with the other holidaymakers.<br \/>\nAlthough we could have spent the whole time relaxing at Chez Belliveau, we did explore the local countryside, which is beautiful. We would recommend a trip to the coast, the Ile d\u2019Oleron (hire some bikes and find a beach, or go to the water park), the Zoo at La Palmyre, Rochefort (to see L\u2019Hermione in its dock and the rope factory) as well as a visit to one of the local vineyards to stock up on some tasty and great value local wines and cognac. The local restaurant in Meursac (La Table) is also well worth a visit if you like good French food in a lovely location.<br \/>\nWe would recommend a stay at Chez Belliveau without hesitation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE HENDRY FAMILY \/ JULY 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We had a lovely time at Chez Belliveau.

Our cottage \u2018Chestnut\u2019 was very comfortable and well equipped with a pretty and private patio.The onsite owners, Thierry and Isabelle, were very welcoming and never too far away if we needed any help or advice. They are dedicated in maintaining the high standard of the gites, facilities and grounds. They also cooked and served a splendid French four-course dinner on the Thursday evening, at a reasonable price for any guests that wished to dine. This we did on both occasions as it was a very social and relaxed evening.The absolute highlight for me was the swimming pool, very private and surrounded by beautiful lawns and flowering shrubs. Most days the pool was completely empty as other guests headed for the nearby beaches.I would highly recommend Chez Belliveau for anyone who wishes to have a quiet and relaxing escape-type holiday in a warm and welcoming part of France.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LINDA , MARTIN &amp; ALEX (15) &#8211; AUGUST 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A big thank to you both (Thierry and Isabelle) for the warm hospitality during our stay at CHEZ BELLIVEAU . We had a wonderfully relaxing week with you . The gite was very well equipped and clean . The site itself with pool , playroom and bar gave us plenty to do and the bread deliveries each morning were lovely. Our favorite night was the evening catered by you in the bar with the wonderful food and company. We had a lovely trip to La Rochelle which has a very good aquarium followed by lunch at the marina. Thanks again for making our stay very memorable .<\/p>\n<p><strong>MC DONALD\u2019S FAMILY FROM IRELAND \/ AUGUST 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We were extremely pleased with our holiday at Chez Belliveau.

The Gite was clean, typically French and basic, yet we wanted for nothing. We had stopped en-route to buy food for the bar-b-q but realised we had forgotten both charcoal and matches, but not to worry because Thierry was happy to provide us with both! The swimming pools were always clean and the surrounding gardens were beautifully looked after. Even though we have older children, it was a very safe environment for young families, including a large play area for small children and a good sized grassed area and football nets for older children. We made regular use of the pool table and table tennis and so our two teenage boys were easily entertained. The Gites are in a fabulous location, enabling easy driving to La Rochelle, Royan, Saintes etc. One of the simplest pleasures was having fresh croissants and bread delivered to our door each morning! I would not hesitate to recommend Chez Belliveau and look forward to a return visit\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>JOHN, MAREE, JACK, JUDY, NICOLA &amp; PETER BRENNAN FROM IRELAND \/ JULY 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Chez Belliveau is discreetly tucked away in the most beautiful corner of France. It\u2019s in a lovely rural setting surrounded by an endless expanse of vineyards, sunflowers, crops , etc. What\u2019s also a bonus is it\u2019s only a 10 min spin to the town of Saujon for the groceries in the local Supermarket. Royan on the coast is 20 min away and you have a choice of beaches, shops restaurants , etc. We flew Ryanair from to La Rochelle airport which is only 50 min to Chez BelliveauOur cottage (Yew Tree) was excellent and had all that we needed and indeed more. It was very clean, comfortable and spacious for the six of us. Chez Belliveau is very well maintained and landscaped \u2014 full of old world French charm. The swimming pool is exceptional a big hit with all the family and there are plenty of sun beds and parasols to help you doze off in between dips ! We also have to mention the treat each morning of opening the shutters and collecting a basket of freshly baked bread &amp; croissants on the doorstep! The group dinner for all the guests of the 6 cottages was a very sociable evening that was enjoyed by all with excellent catering and service from our hosts. Our four children loved Chez Belliveau, the swimming pool, the games room, the outdoor space for playing and much more. We loved sitting on the terrace in the evening with our books and glasses in hand while the kids played away outside happily with their good friends from a UK family.Thierry and Isabelle are wonderful hosts and it is evident that they take great pride in Chez Belliveau and looking after their guests. Nothing was too small right from the moment we arrived until we left \u2014 thank you! To sum up we thoroughly enjoyed our 2 weeks in Chez Belliveau and would love to return some day and highly recommend this destination to people as a holiday choice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ROWE\u2019S FAMILY \/ JUNE 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We have just returned from a fantastic holiday at Chez Belliveau. We have two small children (1 and 3 yrs) who felt at home straight away and really enjoyed the gite (Catalpa) and the whole site which felt very safe. The playground worked really well for them and the pool was absolutely perfect for small children with the best toddler pool we have seen and the main pool which was great for \u2018real\u2019 swimming, a good temperature and very well maintained. The overall location was ideal for us as it was peaceful but had easy access to the main roads and a short drive to some great beaches. We took bikes with us and really enjoyed cycling around the local lanes. Thierry and his wife are great hosts and made every effort to make our stay as good as possible including advising on trips, lending maps, hosting a drinks evening and happy to help with any questions or requests.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ANG\u00c9LIQUE, JEAN-PHILIPPE ET LA PETITE MATHILDE OGER \/ JUIN 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>C\u2019est avec satisfaction et plaisir que nous avons s\u00e9journ\u00e9 dans le gite \u201cChesnut\u201d avec notre fille de 18 mois.

I don\u2019t think holidaying with 5 little ones is ever going to be easy but you made it much easier \u2013 particularly on the rainy days!!! We loved the beach you recommended and Talmont and spending time by the pool was brilliant especially with the toddler pool. The family bike rides round the local villages were really special too. We would love to come back. Hope to see you again.With our love,<\/p>\n<p><strong>LESLEY AND MICHAEL \/ JULY 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We have just returned from a week Chez Belliveau and wish we could have stayed longer: the gite is charming, spacious and very well-equipped. Thierry and Isabelle are extremely hospitable and friendly and we really appreciated all the little extra touches which made the holiday so special. The swimming pool is magnificent \u2013 very big and beautifully maintained. A lovely, peaceful holiday destination which is ideal for all ages.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RUTH WILKES, 52.\/ JULY 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I am a very regular visitor to France and have sampled numerous gites in various regions but truly recommend Chez Belliveau. The accommodation is clean and well-equipped and each gite has its own private corner whilst being within a few steps of the lovely pool area and the convivial bar and games areas. The photos do no not really do justice to the beautiful gardens and pretty flower beds which surround the properties. What really made the holiday, though, was the warm and friendly welcome of the hosts Isabelle and Thierry who really seem to enjoy what they do and go out of their way to make you feel at home. They are happy to spend time chatting in the bar over a glass of local wine or Pineau des Charentes making visitors feel really at home and yet experiencing a bit of French life. Fresh croissants or pastries arrive each morning to order and Isabelle delighted us one evening with a home-cooked meal with about 16 of us chatting over the four courses served by our two hosts. For me this was the best of similar holidays I have had over the years and I thoroughly recommend Chez Belliveau.<\/p>\n<p><strong>H\u00c9L\u00c8NE DAUTREMENT \/ JUILLET 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Merci pour votre accueil chaleureux.

The warm welcome and kindness you showed made our stay a very pleasant one. Catalpa cottage has an exellent standard,very clean upon arrival and comfortable.We also felt that nothing was too much trouble for you,and you were very helpfull when giving us information regarding the surrounding area. The children thoroughly enjoyed the pool ,as did we and they are missing the Table Tennis already! We feel we made a superb choice in staying with yourselves and wouldn\u2019t hesitate to book again. Once again thankyou for your warm hospitality and care. Yours gratefully.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TONY AND CLARE, SEPTEMBER 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We thought that Chez Belliveau was a very nice place to go for a holiday from Spring to Autumn; it has the family attractions, but the area offers many other sights to enjoy both near and far for all ages and who are not tied to school holidays. We liked the old villages of Talmont and Brouage, but also spent enjoyable time seeing the countryside and sampling and buying the local wine, Cognac and discovered Pineau; we even got to the Gironde for the Bordeaux wines. The gite was comfortable, had everything we needed and the kitchen was particularly well equipped. In September we usually were able to eaton our private patio as the weather was good.Thank you for your hospitality, we hope to return. Best wishes<\/p>\n<p><strong>SUE &amp; ROB, AUGUST 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We would happily recommend Chez Belliveau to anyone, your hospitality was wonderful, the cottage was beautifully decorated and very well equipped, and the pool was a delight. The location is quiet and peaceful but within easy reach of the local attractions and the bar with the alambic is a lovely place for a drink. We look forward to a return visit.See you again soon.Thanks again.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LESLEY &amp; ANTHONY, SEPTEMBER 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You made us feel very welcome &amp; the arrival drinks &amp; bottle of rose wine as an arrival gift was extremely enjoyable after a long journey. We loved Yew Tree Cottage, it was very comfortable &amp; we had plenty of room. The gardens &amp; swimming pool were well looked after, the peaceful surroundings were very relaxing. We made use of the ping pong table for a family game one evening &amp; our daughters enjoyed playing pool or billiards (not sure which it was!).Thank you once again for making the booking at the local restaurant for us. The food was excellent &amp; the service very friendly.I do hope that we will stay with you again.Very best wishes<\/p>\n<p><strong>MARC, CAROLINE &amp; HARRY, AUGUST 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you like a lovely family friendly holiday, stay at Chez Belliveau \u2013 it\u2019s set in wonderful rural and quiet French countryside.

Your warm and friendly hospitality never falters and your willingness to help us with our plans resulted in fantastic local day trips to places we would not have found without your guidance. We love the peace and tranquility we get when we visit and the children feel it is home from home, playing in the lovely pool and just messing around in the gardens! Our friends are converts too and I am sure we will be seeing you again as it is hard to find such an idyllic place with such lovely hosts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ANNE &amp; MARK STRICKLAND AO\u00dbT 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cDear Thierry &amp; IsabelleWe wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed returning to Chez Belliveau after a number of years holidaying elsewhere.The first thing that struck us were the number of improvements that have been made and it was lovely to see how keen you are to make a success of your venture; you are both clearly dedicated to Chez Belliveau.We first came to Chez Belliveau some 18 years ago, when it was first opened and continued coming for 8 continous years. We love the location, the facilities and the way we are able to relax knowing that if we have any problems help is on hand.Having returned this summer, it\u2019s made us realise how much we\u2019ve missed it. We will return for certain and in the meantime we wish you both every success and hope you continue to move forward with your plans.Bonne chance!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>AMANDA, COLIN, LIZ AND MILES A\u00d4UT 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had a lovely time. It was very relaxing and the fact that we didn\u2019t have to get up at a ridiculous time to reserve a sunbed made it for us! The pool was brilliant \u2013 sometimes we were the only ones in there and it felt great to have that, especially during the busiest of summer months. You don\u2019t get that very often! The cottage was lovely. Really clean and very well equipped. We didn\u2019t want for anything! We had BBQs every night and felt totally relaxed in the very peaceful setting. My two children enjoyed the table tennis and pool that was on offer but mainly spent all their time in the pool! It was really great to have you and your family on hand, living on site, just in case! But we had a totally carefree and relaxing holiday. The best holiday we have had for years! It was lovely to spend some quality time with the family \u2013 with no TV or XBox\u2019s!!! With the Supermarkets really close by, made it very handy to stock up on essentials once there and we took a trip to the nearby town of Royan where the market was brilliant \u2013 and huge! Thank you for a wonderful holiday and we hope to see you next year!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>FABIEN, FANNY, M\u00c9LINE ET LOUISE &#8211; JUILLET 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00ab Nous avons pass\u00e9 de tr\u00e8s belles vacances Chez Belliveau. Nous \u00e9tions 2 adultes, une enfant de 2 ans et une de 5 ans et JE CONSEILLE CETTE ADRESSE A TOUS. Isabelle et Thierry font tout pour rendre le site agr\u00e9able et ils font des merveilles ! Le cadre est magnifique, tr\u00e8s tr\u00e8s bien entretenu, la piscine chauff\u00e9e est propre et nettoy\u00e9e tous les soirs, la pataugeoire est immense et aussi propre que sa grande s\u0153ur. Les enfants ont pu pleinement profiter des activit\u00e9s du lieu, jeux de plein air, toboggan, balan\u00e7oires, en parfait \u00e9tat de fonctionnement ainsi que jeux de soci\u00e9t\u00e9, poup\u00e9es et poussettes gentiment pr\u00eat\u00e9s par nos h\u00f4tes. Nous les remercions d\u2019ailleurs pour leur professionnalisme et leurs attentions quotidiennes. Les gites sont propres, bien d\u00e9cor\u00e9s et bien \u00e9quip\u00e9s. Id\u00e9alement plac\u00e9s dans la propri\u00e9t\u00e9 ils permettent une bonne intimit\u00e9 pour chaque famille.

Tr\u00e8s bons souvenirs musicaux?.Pour ce qui est de la situation g\u00e9ographique, nous l\u2019avons trouv\u00e9e id\u00e9ale. En effet, la r\u00e9gion offre une multitude d\u2019escapades et de lieux enchanteurs, des plages magnifiques a port\u00e9e de main, que nous n\u2019aurions certainement pas vu avec une location en bord de mer o\u00f9 nous serions rest\u00e9s s\u00e9dentaires. Les supermarch\u00e9s sont tr\u00e8s proches et nombreux, Royan, Mescher et Talmont \u00e0 quelques minutes\u2026Pour nous c\u2019est une tr\u00e8s belle d\u00e9couverte, mode d\u2019h\u00e9bergement, r\u00e9gion et gens formidables.
