Book a hotel near Étang de la Tricherie, Mesnard-la-Barotière

"Always a great experience!"

"We stayed one night here prior to a visit to Puy du Fou. We had a family room for four people. It was fairly small, but had everything we needed and the space had been carefully designed with plenty of room for luggage etc. It was also nice and clean. The restaurant does excellent food in the evening (well worth visiting whether you are staying at the hotel or not) and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. "

"Great for Puy du fou and all the Vendée has to offer."

"Quiet little bungalows with aircon, confortable beds and private bathroom. There are tables and seats on the terrasse in front of each room, very nice for lunch outside. The room was basic but quite spacious and had everything we needed as we stay 3 nights to visit Puy du Fou (5 min by car). Very convenient to get home quickly after the night shows free on site parking. However, the cleaning of the rooms could be improved: the room has a very strong smell of insecticide when we arrived, we found several dead spiders on the wall and the bed sheets. The bathroom was not properly cleaned in some of the corners (dust, hair) but nothing too bad."

"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 rooms). The owner has a big white dog (and although friendly) that was very intimidating for my 5 year old. We had to insist for him to keep him away from us. After they insisted we take their breakfast in the morning (which was 12 euro per person) they agreed to serve it a bit later at 9:15 for our group of 8. We were not yet seated that the owner asked us to hurry as he wanted us to do our best to get out BEFORE 10am (which was check out time) because he paid his housekeeper by the hour and he didn’t want her to be waiting. Overall, we were very much looking for a stay in this house that looked so lovely but owners frankly built so much anxiety and made us feel so uncomfortable that to this day, I really regret booking the place as my children left with a feeling of being unwanted and unwelcomed for something that was supposed to be a memorable family time."

"We loved every aspect of this hotel. The decor, the quality of the bedding and bed and the interior design was superb. We enjoyed a lovely meal in the garden in the evening. We will return next year. "
