“Old style cottage in a great location - just what we wanted!”

Reviewed 28 May 2012

Loved the cottage with its slightly unusual layout. Plenty of space for the two of us and gave us a bedroom to spare. Kitchen well equipped, beds and sofas comfortable. Pretty cottage gardens to both sides meant we could have breakfast and dinner in the fresh air and sunshine. Great footpath alongside the Loire accessible from just across the road. Bar/restaurant and baker short walk away. Had a wonderful time and would recommend to friends. Liked the way the owner made contact during our 5 night stay to check everything was OK.

Response from the owner Thank you for your review. It's great to know that you enjoyed your stay at the cottage and the footpath along the Loire River. Often walking West at Sunset the river turns to liquid gold!

“Well equipped gite in Central Loire Valley”

Reviewed 1 Apr 2012

We had a very enjoyable time at this cottage and it was an excellent base to explore the Loire region. The owner was helpful in getting the heat going our first night and making sure we had everything we needed. Even though the gite was on a medium size road, the traffic was very thin after 9 pm. The wifi worked very well, as did the satellite TV. The stairs down to the cottage would be diificult for someone with limited mobility, not that there were many stairs. The owner also took good care of the jardin and the numerous plantings were just starting to bloom by mid-March.

Response from the owner Great to hear that you both enjoyed your stay at the cottage. The garden was a little slow to get going this year due to an exceptionally cold winter. Traffic on the road is even less frequent during the summer holidays, (July to end September).

Response from the owner Thank you for your review. I had understood that you and your husband had left early to be closer to the airport, (see attached email). The majority of guest reviews, both before and following your stay are in the majority extremely positive. The cottage has been let continuously from mid-April and is thoroughly cleaned between guests. I will look into the suitability of the new sea-grass flooring on the first floor as you are now the second guest to have mentioned this. It would have been constructive to have discussed your concerns prior to your departure.
