Charming cottage in hamlet

Cosy country hideaway but with facilities close by. Ideal cottage for a couple. Well laid out accommodation and well equipped. Plenty of extras left for visitors - eggs laid a few yards away were delicious. Jim very friendly and helpful. Plenty of places to visit within a short drive. Nearby ex railway line ideal for easy cycle ride.

A delightful gite in a beautiful location

The gite was delightful: extremely clean and comfortable, well equipped and in a beautiful location. The surrounding gardens were so extensive that we were spoilt for choice as to where we sat out in the evenings.

Lovely gite in fascinating area

The gite was exactly as described - and the owners helpful and contactable. There is so much to do locally - something for everyone in our age range of 8 to 48. The gite was immaculate and the local produce left for us was a lovely surprise. I am sure we will be back.

About the host

Hosted by James Marchant

Jim's a Brit, Ophélie is French and their two daughters are Franglais.
We have been living in France for 12 years and whilst Ophélie works in Le Mans, Jim works from home, next door to the gîte, so will always be available if any help is ever required.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property shortly after we bought our house next door. We realised straight away that it would make the perfect little gîte.

We fell in love with the area straight away. The location is great for travelling back to the UK and it has a nice mix of rurality whilst not being too far from the big towns of Tours and Le Mans.

It is a peaceful part of France but within easy driving distance of the more popular tourist areas of Normandy, Brittany and the Loire Valley. And that's not to say there aren't plenty of things to see and do locally!

The gîte is situated in a very small hamlet and our neighbours are very friendly yet suitably discreet!
