Have just got back from La Vallee, this place was ideal for a relaxing few days to enjoy this beautiful area. La Vallee is a delightful old converted mill and I can personally recommend you sample Val's cooking which is excellent. We were touring the area on motorbike and Val's extensive knowledge of the area came in really handy to.

Our family of four stayed for one night. It was lovely. Val's homemade meals are to be recommended. The accommodation was v comfortable, private and in such a beautiful part of the world. V relaxing. We couldn't have asked for more.
I have recently stayed at La Vallee with a group of friends. We received a very warm welcome from Val and were amazed at the size of the place. Our rooms were just as amazing. Very comfortable with hairdryer, tea and coffee tray and our room had a metre square shower, done "Italien" style. The building is full of character and Val is very friendly knowing when to back off. We only had dinner on one evening but it was a very memorable meal. Well cooked and presented by Val. Our compliments certainly go to her and for her amazing breakfast with homemade breads and croissants. It is well place to visit the Vendee and areas such as La Rochelle. The other guests were French who seemed equally as happy as us although we did have a few communication problems but Val came to our rescue! Certainly have no doubt in highly recommending this establishment

A beautiful old place wonderfully restored. Val is a tremendous host and knows just how long to socialize for. She is warm, relaxed and friendly. The place is set back, quiet and beautiful, Great breakfast.
The shower is probably the only thing I would say is not up to par, small and basic.
Good proximity to lovely wee town.
Certainly a lovely stop over spot.

La Vallee is a super place to stay with good food and a great welcome. The building (an old mill) has been well converted to provide spacious accommodation with large private bathrooms.
I cannot rave enough about La Vallee. It is a magnificent building with lots of character & charm. The bedrooms are massive as are the bathrooms. Val the owner is such a lovely person, she really does make you feel at home & is a wealth of information; nothing is too much trouble for her. Not only can she advise you on where to eat but she is able to give you information about the area in general. There is tea/coffee making facilities in the room but none of those awful plastic containers of milk, instead Val will give you milk for your tea/coffee & also on your arrival there will be a jug of drinking water left in the room for you. The bathroom is also stocked with soap, shampoo, body wash etc plus a shower cap. There are also slippers for your use. The breakfast is continental as you would expect in France but is plentiful with lots to choose from & to top it all Val provides trays in the breakfast room for you to take your breakfast into the garden (weather permitting). Val also adds those little extra touches such as supplying a mini torch on the front door key so you can see a bit easier when you come back late at night.
I have been going to France since the early 80's & have stayed in many B&B's (chambre d'otes) but I have to say that La Vallee is the best I have stayed in & I would highly recommend this to anyone without any hesitation.
Lastly, I just have to say that the pics on the website really don't do justice to La Vallee.

Stopped at this lovely place for 4 nights while looking around the Vendee area, Val is a lovely and helpfull person, the B&B has really big bedrooms and bathrooms, lovely breakfast and is a place that is hidden away from it all but not too far from Fontenay le Comte which has the shops and an hrs drive away from the coast, cant wait to go back.
