A rustic stopover at the Roulottes Du Berry
Picked out from a the usual hotels as something different. The caravans are much more ‘rustic’ than the pictures but habitable. Was very hot and the air cooling unit didn’t make any difference. We had to be moved from one caravan as the door was not closing and the other was difficult to close. I guess from the wood movement, they are a little wonky. The staff were polite and friendly. Nice to have a small pool for the kids. The communal games room/restaurant was good for quick meals and had pool table/table football and table tennis for the kids. Good for a stopover, not sure we would spend more than a couple of nights. Still very happy we picked it for a one night experience (2 adults and 2 kids).

So You Want to Live in a Tiny House?
This place is for people who want to have a unique experience in Europe. It is not really a hotel but a place to "camp." It is kind of a "tiny house." The rooms are actually train wagons that can sleep up to five adults. They have a bathroom with a shower, kitchen, and a table with five chairs inside. It is great for adults, but I guarantee that young kids will love it.

Characterful, but past its prime
One night stop off on journey. Site was essentially empty with only one other occupied caravan out of 50 odd. Not allowed to keep car near caravan, so need to be aware if have fully loaded car that you don't want to leave unattended. Wifi didn't work near caravan and staff had no knowledge of what to do. Caravans characterful but in need of refurb/maintenance, particularly shower which didn't 'encourage' usage. Not spotless, but different to a hotel guests should be aware that they will be expected to clean caravan and unmake beds, otherwise will be charged a further 20 Euros. Very pleasant experience as quiet and a bit of character, but asset getting very tired and needs investment.

Quirky,rural and not bad value for the money
Quirky little place, which I'd thought would make a change for us and the children. Manager didn't speak English too well (spoke French, German & Dutch), but she managed to communicate due to her persistance. Restaurant on site, but restricted to hot dogs and frozen pizza. Breakfast (not included in price) was very limited to 1 x small croissant & 1 x small choc au pain for each person - very expensive for the 45 euros for 5 people. I still like this though!

Caravan 1 nighter
Used as an overnight stop. Location is good, something a bit different than a standard hotel. Site is nice and nearby town has a great Scottish/French restaurant. It was 35+ degrees on our stay, way too hot and the caravans don't cool until wel into the night and the 'Air fresheners' they provide just don't do anything. Having said that they are comfortable and adequate for a nights stay.

Gypsy caravans
Caravans are lovely and clean , lots of fun to stay in, I recommend cooking your own dinner and eating it in the quiet of the grounds on your own picnic table! Donkeys braying didn't spoil a lovely quiet night. The area is a little ...weird, attached to a horse race ground, and the wifi is too weak to bother with, but apart from that it's great for a stop off and the pool that is hardly mentioned online is lovely.

Something a bit different.
Was nice to stay here as something different from bland hotel chains. Just stayed one night on part of a road trip. Was a very hot day but managed to cool down the caravan by opening the all the windows and put the plug in fan on. Can do simple catering with kitchen facilities. Beds were comfy although not quite full size. Bathroom very adequate. Useful washing machine on site. Lots of fun for young kids. Pretty much a posh campsite.

Somewhere different
We stopped here as an overnight stay travelling from the South. A super little site with helpful staff that seem to speak all the major European languages. The caravans are great, not for the clastrophobic as double bed is in a cubihole at the back, though i'm 6'2 and not the smallest bloke and was plenty comfortable. Only downside really was the 'restaurant'. More really a snack bar and a few drinks. We'd difinitely recommend what appears to be the only restaurant in the village. Les Trois Perdix, fantastic meal, run by a Scottish couple, they serve haggis and have Guiness on tap. We would recommend this for a stop or shortbread wholeheartedly.

Nice place to stay, but remember it is not a hotel
I stayed here with the family for one night only en route to the south of France and it is a most unusual arrangement of 'gypsy caravans' in a large circle with recreation facilities in the centre. The caravan was well equipped with cooking facilities and a refrigerator as well as utensils and plates/glasses etc. Though not large inside there was enough room for my wife, three kids and I to get a good night's sleep and the beds were comfortable, and there was no noise outside to disturb our sleep. There was a double bed and two singles that double as comfy seats in the day. Overall the kids loved the arrangement. All was great until we went to check out in the morning to be told that we couldn't leave until an inspection of the caravan had taken place. During the inspection my wife was told that she must also wipe and put away the washing up that she had done, and sweep up and strip the beds. I was visibly taken aback by this and was told that we could pay a 'cleaning charge' and not worry! I was told that this is normal for this type of property, but it did not say anything about it during the booking process or at check-in so was a bit of a surprise! So do be aware of this when booking, they pointed out that this is not a hotel but a vacation property. Overall I would recommend this as a very pleasant place to spend a few days or break your journey without resorting to a characterless chain hotel by the motorway.

Roulottes du berry
Lovely rural setting, close to small village with nice restaurant run by English couple offering traditional French food. Donkeys, games room, park and tv for kiddies, nice food area with terrace and free wifi. Accommodation immaculate with all the essentials you need.would defo go back perhaps for 2 or 3 nights. Not sure there is too much to do in the area other than walks as not a lot going on but great if you want to get away from it all.

A really original way for an overnight stay. Would be suitable also for a more-night stay. Village of Lignieres is very nice, typically French with nice local market on a Monday morning. Staff is also very nice and helpful.

Un bon standing mais des points à améliorer
Un cottage en bois de qualité mais à l'arrivée, sans clim, il faisait presque 40 degrés. Il faudrait en période chaude la mettre en marche avant. La literie est confortable, le standing est bon. Attention à ne pas ouvrir les fenêtres le matin car les mouches arrivent. Cf centre d'equitation. Pas de tv dispo avant une réinitialisation totale. Avis donc partagé malgré le confort et le bon standing des équipements

Très moyen
Les cottages tout Neuf sont propres et bien équipés. L’accueil, la sympathie et l’envie de répondre aux demandes des clients est très aléatoire selon les membres de l’équipe. Allant de personnes très aimables et efficace à des personnes qui nous ont littéralement ignorés au snack quand on voulait commander à manger (heureusement on avait des pâtes en stock…) nous regrettons l’absence de communication sur la piscine inutilisable pour un problème de PH. Nous n’avons pu en profiter qu’1h avant de partir. Gros point faible, la présence de mouches en très grandes quantités malgré la propreté. Certainement attirées par les animaux à proximité.

Cadre agréable et logements proches des écuries.
Pour ma fille et moi, cela s'est bien passé. Par contre, on ne nous a pas dit le jour de notre arrivée qu'il fallait faire le ménage, sachant que rien n'est à notre disposition dans le logement pour faire le nettoyage. Donc, je n'ai pas vidé la poubelle avant de partir. Et comme l'accueil était fermé à 9h lorsque j'ai déposé la clé... Nous avions réservé en tout 5 logements avec nos amis dans le cadre des Jump-in Lignières, ce sont certains de mes amis qui m'ont dit que je devais nettoyer avant de partir. Sinon, les logements sont sympas.

De huifkarren zijn in de werkelijkheid vergeleken met de foto zeer gedateerd en slecht onderhouden aan de buitenkant. Het gehele park is in de jaren echter niet veranderd en is een kale vlakte. Vreemde van alles is dat er wordt gepromoot met paarden en ezels waar je naar kan kijken en dat deze allemaal axchter 3 lagen schrikdraad staan, niet iets wat je met je kinderen wilt doen. Het is opmerkelijk dat mensen aangeven dat ze er lekker gegeten hebben. indien je altijd alleen maar bij de voetbalkantine uit eten gaat is dit te begrijpen, maar anxders toch echt niet. Indien je echt alleen op doorreis bent is het wel te doen, maar ga dan zeker eerst even ergens wat eten, want dat scheelt je een half uur rijden naar het eerstvolgende representatieve eettentje

De passage sur la route des vacances, les roulottes du Berry sont un moyen de se dépaysera et de vuvre une expérience différente. Attention seulement lors de Fortnite chaleur ils ne sont pas climatisé ni trésor bien isolés, cela reste des roulottes et la température l intérieur monté très vite. Le petit déjeuner pourrait peut être être plus typique et surtout local afin de mieux coller au concept.

Response from Quentin ROUYER on Jul 24, 2018
Merci de mettre en ligne la réponse suivante : Je regrette que votre expérience au village des roulottes ne vous ait pas convenu. Les chaleurs actuelles après des taux d’humidité record font travailler largement les structures en bois de nos roulottes ce qui explique que vous ayez eu des difficultés à les fermer. Pour ce qui concerne le retrait des draps c’est une pratique courante dans les hébergements de plein air (bungalows, chalet…) à l’issue du séjour. Quant à la qualité de nos viennoiseries et pains, nous avons une livraison quotidienne avec une boulangerie locale, nous leur ferons remonter. Cordialement
