Nice house, some issues
Beautiful looking building and grounds. Lots of spacious rooms. Furnishings in keeping with the house though sofas hard and need respringing. The pool is super and stunning views of the Loire from the belle view.
However, it was not really a comfortable house for us. We had notified the owner that two of our adult sons would be joining us but the host assumed they were a couple! This meant that only two bedrooms had been prepared. We asked for more bedding to make up another room, but this was refused. We then had to buy another set of bedding.
The central heating was broken, and was not fixed in the two weeks we were there. Also little to no hot water in the evening. The guy who looks after the pool etc. was great and provided an electric radiator and four small fan heaters and access to fire wood, but getting washing or bath towels to dry and keeping warm was difficult (the weather was cold and sometimes wet during our stay in September).
The kitchen is very small for the house but is reasonably well equipped. There was only one very large casserole dish so we had to buy one suitable for the four of us. The Kenwood mixer did not work but on the other hand the cooking knives were sharp which is often not the case.
In high summer with no need for heating where you can eat outside and have BBQs this house would probably be excellent but the lack of heating/hot water and the lack of cooperation over the bedding slightly spoiled our holiday.
