"The hosts were very welcoming and full of helpful information for eating options in the surrounding area.
The room was spacious and beds were very comfortable."
"This is not a family friendly place. While traveling with my kids, we arrived exhausted and were welcomed by the property owners who immediately requested everyone to take off their shoes at the entrance of the hotel (they were scared our kids would dirty their carpeted floors) . They then said the room we reserved was all white and that the kids would have to be extremely careful. We were uncomfortable the whole time as the openers basically followed us everywhere (except when we got into our...
"This is a great B&B, really well appointed old french farmhouse. We stayed in the smaller room which had a great shower, was quiet and warm. My only small issue is that I would have preferred a bigger bed.
Breakfast was great and had a lot of choices.
The lady who runs the place looked after us and was very welcoming. "
"Le prix de la chambre est excessif par raport aus services proposes , toilettes communes et salle de bain commune . Vou struverz un meiller rapport qualit éprix dans les environs "
"L'hôte est très gentil et accueillant. Par contre son logement n'est pas adapté pour autant de places proposées. Nous avions loué 3 chambres d'hôtes mais le propriétaire dormait dans le salon, on avait l'impression de l'avoir chassé de sa chambre. La salle de bain est en très mauvais état, la salle à manger très petite, le petit déjeuner est peut-être compris mais si on ne prends pas le supplément pancake (5 euros par personne par jour) ce n'est pas terrible. Et le pire c'est la propreté qui est...
"I had a delightful stay at this B&B and would highly recommend it to anyone traveling in this region. The room was pretty, clean and comfortable. The breakfast was top notch as was the service. The owners are a charming couple who are also bilingual in French and English. The property and gardens are absolutely lovely and peaceful. "
"IT DOESN'T EXIST! Drove at night confused and tired for hours looking for this place in pitch dark until waking up neighbors at the address to be told it closed years ago."
"Fantastic place to stay on La Velo Francette. Full of character. A locked garage for the bikes, and cold beer on arrival. Perfect! Mark, the host was so welcoming and helpful."
"Une premiere pour nous en chambre d'hote.
Nous avons adoré et tres bien "accroché " avec les proprietaires qui sont vraiment d'une gentillesse exemplaire.et adorables. Restez comme vous etes!
Petit déjeuner hyper sympa en compagnie des autres hôtes.
Le petit plus c'est la piscine qui permet bien de se rafraîchir en cette periode de fortes chaleurs.
A 1/4 d 'heure du puy du fou seulement en pleine campagne.
On reviendra c'est sûr !!

"It is our fourth time in la Barbinière. Really lovely hotel. Nice pool area. Nice restaurants. And nice rooms. Conveniently located for us going from Toulouse to Normandy. Our holiday starts in la Barbinière!"
" Nice spacicous rooms. One problem was the heat. No aircon. The outside temperature was particularly hot, 39°C. The room fan helped but other areas were extremely warm.
Still like this hotel and will stay again in the future."
"Auberge hyper tranquille à 10 mn du puy du fou. Lieu ideal pour se reposer la nuit apres une journee de marche. Piscine à l'extérieure. Pas tres grande mais suffisant. Diner pris au restaurant de lauberge, tres bon, de qualité. Petit dejeuner idem."
Château near the Puy du Fou, in the heart of the Vendée bocage
10/10 Excellent
"We filled the chateau with 26 people, aged from 2 to 80, and it never felt overcrowded. Lots of lovely old furniture, but new good quality bedlinen and towels. Very clean. We mostly cooked for ourselves, and the kitchen was well-equipped for such numbers. Outside, there's a new tennis court by the pool, both are great. (The free-standing pool in the main photo has been replaced by a much better one, and the badminton/volleyball court is no longer there). The outside dining furniture has also been upgraded from the white plastic in the photos and was very nice. It was perfect for Puy du Fou but also in a lovely area to explore - though we mostly stayed at home to enjoy the facilities. One thing to note - the pool and tennis are 'communal' which means you may be sharing them with another large party in the other half of the chateau. With a bit of polite communication that was not a problem, especially with so much fine weather."
"Clean room but basic, in need of some modernisation.
Breakfast was basic too, but served a purpose.
Location in parthenay was good! And parthenay itself is a lovely place to stay. "
"Perfect for overnight stop en route South or North. Lovely lady (owner?) Rooms recently decorated and so so so clean...bathroom spotless. Restaurant on site...was able to sit outside. Formula evening menu which is great when you don't want to spend too mush.
Great nights sleep and lovely breakfast, the lady owner constantly re freshing items on breakfast buffet, tidying and wiping the surfaces. Thank you for a great stay."
"Excellent location to visit Puy du Fou with a family. Private cabanas with kitchen, multiple rooms and bathrooms. Property in great shape, and grocery store right up the road"
"Super hôtel. Personnels souriants et disponibles. La chambre est propre et confortable. Le diner et le petit-déjeuner sont très bon avec des tarifs qui correspond bien à ce qui est proposés.
Très proche du puy du fou, un hôtel bien pratique face aux établissements du parc."

When is the best time to book a Bed and Breakfast in Courlay?
The best time to book a B&B in Courlay is during the vibrant spring months of April and May. This period marks the beginning of pleasant weather and the blooming of local flora, making it superb for those who appreciate outdoor activities, leisurely strolls, and the charm of the French countryside. With temperatures ranging from the low 40s to mid-60s Fahrenheit, visitors can comfortably explore nearby vineyards, enjoy picturesque landscapes, and immerse themselves in local culture without the crowds that summer brings.
As spring unfolds, Courlay becomes a haven for travelers seeking a blend of tranquility and adventure. The lush countryside beckons, offering opportunities for hiking and biking along scenic trails, where the fresh air and blooming flowers create a picturesque backdrop.

For those looking for a more budget-friendly option, consider visiting in late autumn, particularly in November. This quieter time allows travelers to experience the local charm at a leisurely pace as the fall colors adorn the landscape, creating a beautiful canvas for photography and reflection. Plus, this season often sees fewer visitors, allowing for a more intimate exploration of Courlay's cultural offerings.
