We really loved the peace and the beauty of the chateau and grounds. The gite had been beautifully converted and was comfortable and spacious. Michel was very friendly and helpful and spoke very good Engish which was helpful as our french isn't great! We thoroughly enjoyed meeting the sanglier family, complete with piglets, and watching them at the end of the garden each day (behind a secure fence)! Nearby Saumur was very pretty and had some nice places to eat.

We were surprised to learn on arrival that that there was a timetable for pool usage allowing only two to two and a half hours for each family per day. We were lucky in that we got to use it more as the other gites weren't full, but would have been disappointed if this hadn't been the case. It was also a bit tricky being asked not to wear sunscreen in the pool area as there is no shade at all - two of our party burnt as a result. Outdoor seating (plastic loungers) needed cushions really (though we understand not having them might be a hangover from Covid) and it would be nice to have more fans available for the bedrooms.

Spacious accommodation in tranquil location, with lovely shared pool. Good base for visiting the area. Wild boar with their offspring in woodland behind (safely fenced in) were delightful to watch.

The house was generally well equipped but just a few simple additions would make it better e.g more mugs, tea towels, hooks for hanging up clothes and a few more outdoor chairs. Also the downstairs toilet and shower room being directly off the lounge is fine if you're with family or close friends, maybe not so much if you're shy, the upstairs bathroom is fine.

Excellent location. Hospitable and helpful landlord. Beautiful house and surrounding, including a nice park.

The converted cottage in the grounds of a chateaux was very peaceful and well equipped for a family get together in the Loire Valley. We had use of a lovely swimming pool which the children loved. The weather was very hot so the fans in the bedrooms were very useful.

Having to clean the cottage and pass an inspection before leaving or being charged an extortionate amount is not the best end to a relaxing few days. However, I can understand why it's done, because some people really do not know how to respect other people's property.

Location, ease of access, close to major routes, close to vineyards ...staff were amazing

That i couldn’t spend more time there😁😁 ... a small issue was the fact that the wifi didnt really work...
