Fabulous - wish we had booked longer!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Le Grenier and were made to feel very welcome by Jenny and Jacques, who even arranged a wine tasting experience for us. There was plenty to keep our two children entertained at the house and we loved the garden and spa area. The location was perfect; peaceful, yet only ten minutes from lots of local attractions. The children loved the mix of animals and we would definitely like to return in the near future.

A wonderful week at Le Grenier

We had a wonderful, restful stay at Le Grenier surrounded by vineyards and sunflowers. Jenny and Jacques were so caring and attentive with nothing being too much trouble. The hot tub and sauna were a big hit…as well as the lovely animals! A real treat of a week! Thank you so much Jenny and Jacques!

A really lovely stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this very well equipped, lovely gite. Even though one of our children was unwell for a couple of days it was no hardship to be “stuck” in the gite with her as it was so comfortable and relaxing - we also really enjoyed watching all the peacocks, pigs, ponies and chickens out the windows! There were lots of great places to visit nearby. The zoo was an absolute highlight! Some of us also put the bikes that were available to good use and enjoyed cycling around the quiet country roads, and our children also enjoyed playing with the games equipment in the garden. Jenny and her husband were very welcoming and made sure we had all we needed.

A brilliant spacious property in an interesting area

We enjoyed 7 fantastic days here as a family with young children. The gite itself is set on large grounds and there are lots of games and activities to enjoy in the gardens. The hosts are friendly and our children loved meeting the dogs (unusual for them!), peacocks, pigs etc. We had enough to do and see with the cave dwellings nearby, the inspiring light exhibition in caves, the cave restaurant, pretty villages etc. We could have spent longer there too if willing to travel further afield but while we were there there was enough to do in a 15-minute-by-car radius. If we could change anything it would be for both bedrooms to be on the same floor as younger children tend to want/ need to be closer to parents at night in an unfamiliar place. We got around that though and had a fabulous time making many happy memories.

Parfait

Nous nous y sommes pris au dernier moment pour réserver notre séjour mais tout était parfait : la gentillesse des propriétaires (dispo, présents si besoin sans jamais être envahissant), la tres grand propreté du gîte et son équipement (dont la mise à disposition de vélos et jeux divers pour nous et les enfants), les deux ânes au fond du jardin pour le grand bonheur de notre fille. Sa situation géographique est parfaite pour visiter plusieurs châteaux (dont celui de Brézé vraiment sympa avec les douves et cavités troglodytiques) aux alentours, le zoo de Doué la fontaine, le jardin de Puygirault, etc... Thank you Jackie and Andrew!!!! Sophia, Florian et Estelle

Le Grenier

Perfect Gite with all mod cons and a peaceful location, but within easy reach of all of the Loire attractions - oh if you have children this is also for you, table tennis, darts, bikes and boule all await there enjoyment - we’ve stayed in many Gites over the years and Le Grenier is certainly one of the very best

Best Gite we have stayed in!

It must be pretty good to have us return to this Gite year after year! Set in very spacious grounds with a large walled area at the front, the back looking out over more garden & an extensive field for the two donkeys. The Gite is light, airy, comfortable, large and well equipped. Andrew & Jackie are friendly, welcoming hosts, Andrew has been known to crack the occasional well travelled groan worthy joke! A splendid place to stay and we will be back next year!

A beautiful charming Gite in Loire

A well maintained property in the heart of the French countryside, a quiet location with beautiful private gardens with an added addition of two friendly donkeys in their own paddock. The property is very clean with modern fixtures and fittings, but the property still retains its original French charm. The modern kitchen is well equipped with all you would need for your stay, cooker/hob, microwave, Washing machine and dishwasher plus all the crockery items that you would require. Both bedrooms are light and airy with plenty of storage space. En-suite bathroom for the master double bedroom and separate bathroom for the twin bedroom downstairs. There are bikes, table tennis room, dart board, badminton equipment and enough toys to keep any little ones well occupied, oh and there’s a swing. The area is perfect for cycling and walking on the quiet roads amongst the vineyards and fields. We have been staying in this area for many years and this is by far the best Gite we have stayed in. The owners made us very welcome and always on hand to advise or have a chat. I would recommend this property to any of my friends and family.
