Description of holiday house in Lairoux, Pays de la Loire

Lapwing House was new to the rental market in Spring 2011 and is set in a quiet village with a bar and restaurant only 100m away.

This is a great location for a family holiday and there are lots of tourist attractions to keep you all occupied - such as the Aquarium at La Rochelle, the Indian Adventure Park or the fantastic Puy du Fou Theme Park.

If you just want to relax in the garden - there is a 5.5m x 4.5m above ground pool and sheltered areas to sit and read or sunny areas to top up your tan.
