Holiday Homes in La Chaudiere

"I don’t usually write reviews but I loved everything about this place. From the individually styled rooms to the chair carved out of the stump of an old sycamore tree at the top of a flight of metal steps. Everything has been put together with such thought and care. "

"We had a wonderful time in La Laupie.The house and estate are beautiful, and the surrounding historic village is truly magical. The pool and tennis court were great, and the interior of the house was tastefully done. With 8 children and 9 adults, we had plenty of space. The kitchen is modern and well-equipped, which made cooking for a large group easy and enjoyable.Overall, the experience was excellent.That said, I’d like to mention a few areas for improvement — not to sound ungrateful, but to help future guests set realistic expectations and to give the owners a chance to address them:The pool water wasn’t properly cleaned when we arrived. After we raised this with the concierge, it was taken care of the next day. It wasn’t a major issue, but having the pool in perfect condition from the start would have been ideal.There were only 8 pool loungers available, which felt a bit limited given the size of the house and the number of guests it accommodates.A few items on the property were broken or had not been properly replaced: some outdoor lights were covered with plastic bags, broken chairs hadn’t been removed, and the referee chair at the tennis court was rusty and unusable.These were minor issues and didn’t significantly affect our stay.We truly enjoyed our time and would definitely come back!"

"This is a comfortable house with a lovely view. The house itself is big with new and spacious kitchen and bathroom. The beds are pretty comfortable as well. It has a good sized swimming pool and some outdoor space. The surrounding areas are beautiful with dramatic hills all around. All in all we had a lovely week and we hope to return with more of our family."

"Great place for stop with lovely walk around village and refurbished churches. "

"Not what I expected from the website information about the property (including some info from customer reviews which I appreciate are not the direct responsibility or input of the owners), although it turned out to be fine/ok as the base for our family vacation.A few key areas where there were gaps between expectations and reality:1) The main picture of the house on the website is quite misleading as most of what is in that photo is the home of the owners not the part of the building that has been divided off for guests.2) The property is advertised as a 5 bedroom house, but actually 2 of the bedrooms are in a separate annex across a small yard from the main part of the house. 3) A number of the reviews refer to how well equipped and comfortable the house is with top of the range amenities. While there's a large quantity of crockery/cutlery in line with the huge inside dining table that looks more set up for hosting party events than a family dinner, the quality all-round is very ordinary. The kitchen is very small with no proper oven (just a small portable), a hob with just 3 rings, normal utensils, but knives all totally blunt. Cooking for 6-8 adults was a grind.Living area is large, but has hard, uncomfortable seats/sofas for max 6 people. Bedrooms are fine, but bathrooms quite old/tired and one stank of chlorine all week. All ok, but much more basic/rustic than many of the reviews suggested. "
