Beautiful, peaceful stay

We loved our stay at Jasmine Cottage. It was so relaxing. The cottage is really comfortable and well-appointed indoors, and having a downstairs bedroom is really handy, though we spent nearly all our time outdoors as the weather was lovely and the garden and facilities were wonderful. There is lots of choice for seating in sun and in shade, and the pool was the perfect spot to cool down. The area is very quiet and although there are plenty of places to explore locally we were having such a good time we only left the cottage to pick up supplies and to enjoy Chinon Market (very nice produce!). Thank you Nigel & Sandra for your hospitality and friendliness - we hope to see you again

Lovely stay, would love to come again!

Stunning property, such a huge garden, the pictures don’t do it justice! So much space, the pool and hot tub are fab and it was great to have a few BBQs and make use of the pizza oven. The cottage is beautiful and quaint and stays nice and cool in the heat. Beautiful rural area and close to amenities and not far from Chinon. Would highly recommend!

Lovely little place with charm

A three night stay to break our journey back to Roscoff and lovely to relax here. Unfortunately due to weather (it was October!) we couldn't sit outside which looks a lovely space. Hopefully we will be back in better weather.

A tranquil stay

A quirky property full of character that we enjoyed staying at. Excellent communication with hosts Nigel and his wife. Excellent outside areas to sit and catch the sun or shade at any point in the day and the pool was a welcome relief when the temperatures rose. Richelieu is not to be missed nor either is Mont-sur-Guesnes. We certainly enjoyed the tranquility of the area and would return if we were to come to the area again.

A Relaxing Country Retreat in Beautiful Central France

What a gem! Nigel and Sandra Berry have created a country cottage with all you will need for a relaxing stay. The property is enchanting. The location is central to many historic and significant cultural sites. Nigel and Sandra themselves are wonderful hosts. I would stay there again in a heartbeat and can highly recommend their gite.

Looking for rest? This is the place to be.

We stayed for two weeks in this beautiful house. If you are really looking for a quiet location where the birds are the only sound you hear, then this is the best place to be. The very old house has been wonderfully converted by Nigel into a beautiful place to stay. You have a huge garden at your disposal where you can always find a place to rest or be active from morning to night. Nigel and Sandra, as owners and neighbors, keep a modest background but are ready to help you if you ask for it. From this location it is great to walk between the sunflowers or go by car into the area to beautiful cities such as Tours, Poitiers, Richelieu, La Rochelle and other places. The area you cross offers beautiful views and nice villages.

Jasmine Cottage

We spent a very relaxing week here in early July this year. We have visited the Loire Valley many times but this was our first stay in the Chinon area, which is a beautiful and tranquil part of France. The cottage is an excellent base for exploring the area which we did mostly on bikes. The roads are very quiet and ideal for cycling. The gite is very comfortable, well appointed and tastefully decorated. Everything you could possibly need is supplied and Nigel and Sandra are superb hosts. We enjoyed our evening meals on the patio, looking out over beautiful countryside.The highlight of our week was the Bistrot meal, prepared by Sandra and served by Nigel. Thoroughly recommended.

Brilliant cottage in quiet countryside, within easy reach of charming towns and villages

Well we found a little bit of paradise. The setting was perfect,quiet, charming, relaxing, an excellent way to wind down. The hosts Nigel and Sandra were so welcoming and had gone the extra mile to ensure we had all we needed. The facilities at Jasmine cottage are first class from various garden games-badminton,darts,boules,croquet and bikes plus plunge pool nestled between the lavender bushes and fig trees and a bubbly hot tub.The surrounding area of Richelieu,very pretty with a beautiful parkland to wander round.Would recommend a trip to Samaur also. Thank you Nigel and Sandra for your kind hospitality on the thursday night,i do hope we can return to your lovely Jasmine Cottage in the near future.

A fantastic stay in a beautiful location

We had a fabulous time staying at Jasmine Cottage. The location is very rural - exactly what we wanted for peace, quiet and switching off from the outside world. We would recommend to anyone who wants a relaxing, stress free holiday in a beautiful location. Our 15 year old found the pace slow, but there was plenty to do in the surrounding area if you like to visit markets, chateaux, historical buildings etc. We went to Futuroscope. We would NOT recommend it. We spent the entire day queuing and the experiences lasted only one or two minutes each. Don't waste your money! The grounds of Jasmine Cottage are beautifully maintained by the owners and they were on hand if we needed anything. We had a lovely evening with the owners who couldn't have been more helpful if they had tried. Perfect company. The cottage is lovely and had everything we needed. A fantastic holiday, so thank you to Nigel and Sandra. We'll be coming back!

Idyllic two weeks

We had a lovely relaxing two weeks at Jasmine Cottage. The cottage itself was great - very comfortable with everything you needed but the garden........whow. Fantastic space with so many sitting areas we could hardly keep up. "Mediterranean Terrace" for meals; under the cherry trees to read; loungers on the decking for sunbathing; hammock for whenever; swing seat for late afternoon. BBQ was well used but we didn't tackle the pizza oven! Lovely walks from the cottage and plenty of interesting places to visit if you can only drag yourself away from the garden (Villandry Chateau is highly recommended especially if you are into vegetables) and Chinon is a delightful town. Bikes are provided as were loads of games to keep you occupied - croquet, darts, table tennis, and boules. And of course there was the plunge pool. Even at a "normal" 27 degrees or so it would have been very welcome but with the temperature rising to 35 degrees over a couple of days it was a life-saver and a great pleasure. Thank you Nigel and Sandra for your hospitality - you made us very welcome and at the same time gave us the privacy and space we needed. Perfect hosts!

Séjour trÚs agréable dans un environnement extraordinaire.

L'environnement est magnifique, le cottage est trÚs bien situé pour visiter les chùteaux environnants. Il faut savoir, que sur l'annonce est indiqué 2 lits de 135/190, dans la chambre séparée, c'est un lit de 160 ce qui est plus agréable. Rien ne manque, à part d'ustensiles pour le barbecue et des éclairages pour pouvoir manger sur la terrasse le soir. Nous avons passés un séjour trÚs agréable avec piscine, salon de jardin ( 2 ), des velos, table de ping-pong, le + c'est le jacuzzi. Nous reviendrons avec un grand plaisir et merci au propriétaire de son accueil malgré notre heure tardive. Il faut découvrir cet endroit, le cottage est admirablement décoré avec goût. Merci encore.

Rural retreat

We spent two weeks at this property as a family of three, and thoroughly enjoyed all of it. Great garden, lovely property, with lots of charm and numerous seating areas to enjoy. It's in a lovely rural and peaceful area, with great views and so little light pollution that you get great night time views of the stars. The hosts, Nigel and Sandra were very friendly and helpful, and we spent a really enjoyable evening with them over some drinks and food - thanks again! The gite is ideal for two couples or in our case one teenage child, but anyone with young children might struggle with the bedrooms. It's worth mentioning that the newer one isn't linked internally with the rest of the gite. Definitely recommend!!

Peaceful and relaxing getaway

What a lovely house, lovely hot tub, lovely views - peaceful and unobtrusive hosts. Nigel and Sandra certainly have made a lovely getaway - great for us as a couple but also for families - surrounded by fruit trees (Delicious apples but figs out of season) and unspoilt views of the french countryside. Bikes available - we were kindly loaned the electric ones - which meant we could go off exploring on dry quiet roads and buy daily bread and croissants from nearby village of Guesnes. It is how ever, quite remote so need car to go to larger towns of Saumur, Chinon and Richelieu - which were all great for sightseeing and eating. The Green Path from Richelieu to chinon was great for walking (old railway) and very quiet. A wonderful relaxing week. Definitely worth a visit
