Domaine Le Poteau

Liked Best hosts at any campsite we've stayed at. Matt & Kim have hit a really good balance at Le Poteau. If you're looking for luxury and every service imaginable then this is NOT the site for you. M&K are deliberately keeping the site rustic and simple with spotless toilets/showers. It is a quiet relaxing site. Their emphasis is on friendly helpfulness. The pitches are allocated but not regimented with plenty of shade. There are a few free range chickens roaming the site to add to the rustic feel. Bakery and small supermarket at nearest village, Castelnau (10 mins cycling). Plenty of easy cycling from campsite.

Disliked Nothing (except Voie Vert cycling route to the north of site is badly maintained and not worth trying, the quiet roads are a better choice).

Liked Everything! We feel this is the best campsite we’ve ever stayed on in Europe or UK .,very beautiful, peaceful , well kept and fabulous hosts in Kim and Matt . It is set in Gers, a beautiful region of vineyards and excellent for active holidays, cycling and walking . We were greeted on arrival with a chilled glass of wine and Matt and Kim were helpful from the start . We wished we had booked a longer stay . Everything is beautifully kept and very clean , not a big site but very comfortable

Disliked Nothing to dislike!

Liked The peaceful organic site. The welcome from the amazing hosts. We were welcomed with a glass of wine and offered some amazingly large eggs at a decent price. The free range chickens wandering around the site contributed to the rural feel. The delightful village/town with a lake and patisserie on the edge is a short cycle ride away. They also had local wine of good quality on offer. There’s an amazing Armagnac producer a short drive away.

Disliked Not exactly a dislike. The couple have recently acquired the site and have lots of plans for improvement. We were the first customers and as it was off season some of the facilities were not available. A morning bread order was not on offer at the time although I am sure it will be introduced soon.

Liked Such a lovely campsite - relaxed atmosphere, spacious pitches, modern and clean toilets/showers/laundry area and amazingly friendly and helpful hosts. Look out for event nights as the food is great and it's a relaxing evening meeting others on the site. The local village is lovely too with an easy stroll to the local swimming pool and friendly owners of bars/cafes in the area.

Liked A perfect stay from beginning to end. Greated on arrival by Fiona......despite the unseasonal rain. Plenty of useful info given regarding the local area......and accompanied with a free glass of wine. Beautiful site amoungst the trees and orchard. Very quiet and only a short walk to the village. Alasdair cooked in the barn on our second night and we got the chance to further meet other guests and locals. All in all a very relaxing few days.

From the manager: It was such a pleasure. Thank you for being such great guests we just wish you could have stayed a bit longer. I received a lovely message from Victoire at Danis who also enjoyed meeting you

Liked Small relaxed site, good facilities including bar and food (not every night). Easy walking distance to the village with bars and restaurants and swimming pool. Pitches are irregular not privet edged boxes

Disliked Some people didn't like the free range chickens.

From the manager: Many thanks for your kind comments. Sorry if the chooks were a bother. We do have options to distract and deter.....

Liked Amazing place to stay, quiet and tranquil yet short walk to town. Very welcoming host, can order bread to be delivered in the morning, eggs available and also do small occasional events like drinks in the vineyards - would very much recommend.
