Simply Stunning
What a fantastic holiday home. The owners have thought of everything you could possibly want and delivered it in spades. From start to finish nothing was too much trouble. The house is close to a beautiful part of France that we have visited before (Saumur) and the location has lots of happy memories for us. It is a brilliant base for exploring what the region has to offer, but it also offers space and amenities that allow for rest and relaxation. We couldn’t recommend this holiday home enough - it truly is a home from home! Thank you Colin & Carol. We’d love to come back in the future.

Exceptional house in a beautiful setting
The house is set in a beautiful location and near to many facilities. The house is immaculate with everything you need for a wonderful holiday. The owners could not have been more helpful and solved a problem immediately. A very peaceful and quiet place for all the family with lots to occupy everyone.

Super house, great location.
This is an ideal base from which to explore the Loire Valley however just lazing around the house and pool is what we enjoyed the most. Can't fault anything about the house at all. I thought the pool cover would be a drag to remove and replace but it was actually no bother. We'd like to go back sometime soon and see more of the surrounding area. Highly recommended!
