About this property

Loire valley gite with 2 acres of grounds, south facing pool & private terraces

The property is entered via a split stable door directly into the centre piece kitchen with its handmade fitted shaker kitchen complete with integral twin oven, halogen hob, dishwasher and full size microwave. The dominating Tuffeau stone fireplace is inlaid with a large log burning stove creating a warm and comfortable heat when required outside of the summer season. A matching shaker style table and six chairs are provided for French style family meal times.

The lounge and dining room are extremely spacious and are furnished with two luxurious three seater leather settees and a matching chair. The lounge contains a wide screen TV, DVD player and a Satellite receiver with English Free-to-Air channels included. From the lounge there are two full size double doors leading to the large West facing terrace which frame the large log burning fire which provides guests staying in the cooler months with a source of heat and ambiance.

There is a separate dining area at the end of the lounge where guest will find a further Oak table and four dining chairs for a more formal dining experience.

A music system is provided which has CD player, AM/FM stereo radio and taper recorder. A library of CD's and DVD's are provided for our guests’ entertainment together with a large selection of books and local information guides for use during our guests holiday.

The hallway and office is accessed through the kitchen and gives access to the first floor accommodation and benefits from a second split stable door allowing the wonderful outdoors into the room, flooding the area with natural light. Here guests will find a comfortable desk and chair providing a quiet and peaceful area for writing, working or reading. The desk has both wireless and Ethernet cable access to our high speed internet service. The telephone for the property is also located here and guests are able to use the phone to make outgoing landline calls to most countries in the world and as well as calls to mobile telephones within the mainland France area. The internet and telephone service are provided free of charge to our guests.

The handmade tulipwood stairs lead upto a mezzanine floor were a comfortable bed settee is located for those occasions when additional sleeping capacity may be required but also provides a light and airy area to sit quietly to read or listen to music.

From the upper landing the master bedroom is located immediately in front of you. This master bedroom has windows on three sides (North, South and West) with a wonderful window seat in the bay of the south facing window. From here you can see the village of Meigne and its imposing church spire. There is a large ensuite bathroom which provides a full size bath and shower with a large old fashioned shower head together with a heated towel rail.

The remaining two bedrooms are accessed by a quaint corridor with all the original beams exposed and provide one double bedded room and a twin bedded room. These two bedrooms share a fully equipped bathroom with separate shower cubicle and full size bath with a heated towel rail.

The double room has a full size leather sleigh bed with a West facing window complete with window seat and a separate North facing window looking out over the fields to the rear of the property.

The twin room contains two quality single beds with matching bedside cabinet and chest of draws. This room too has a view over the east garden with integral window seat.

Downstairs the property benefits from a separate WC as well as a substantial utility room containing a washing machine with integral tumble drier and a large utility sink and coat rack.

The exterior of the house is very private with a terrace on the south facing aspect complete with a table and six chairs, parasol and four fully reclining sun chairs. On the west aspect there is a sun terrace with a further table and chair set and a BBQ exclusively for guest of Le Bois.
The large heated swimming pool (9m x 4m) is heated during the summer months and benefits from a fully computerised water management system to ensure that the water is always crystal clear for our guests.

The pool terrace is designed so guests are able to face south form the fully reclining rattan sun loungers whilst being able to see the pool without the need to reposition the lounger. We have provided a spacious pool house and furnished this with a quality rattan sofa and chair set which allows guests to shade or simply enjoy some quiet time! There is a freezer installed in the pool house for guests to use to store ice cubes or ice creams and the high speed internet is also transmitted to the pool area to allow for guest to continue to access their social media, emails or stream music.

Hidden Gem
Stayed here for a week with our children and dog. The property is exactly as described, surrounded by beautiful countryside, so peaceful and relaxing and surprisingly spacious. Andrew, the owner, could not have been more helpful. Would highly recommend this rental and can't wait to return.

Rural setting, peaceful, lovely swimming pool
Le Bois is a large barn conversion with plenty of space inside and out. It has 3 lovely bedrooms and the mattresses are so comfortable! I suffer from a bad back so this was really important and I wasn't disappointed. Downstairs has a huge lounge and dining area and a great kitchen. All thoughtfully decorated, clean and tidy and well equipped. Andrew and Jayne are great hosts who helped us with recommendations of where to visit and eat and even very kindly took our dogs for a walk one hot day when we had a long day out without them! When we visited it was during the heatwave and temperatures got up as high as 38 degrees. The pool was well used that week but we did suffer at nights without any fans inside which I think could be supplied as the upstairs bedrooms did get very hot and humid. Simple mosquito netting at the windows would help too which wasn't supplied but thankfully we took our own so were able to have the windows open and some fresh air without insects coming in. We loved our stay at Le Bois. We saw lots of wildlife and really felt immersed in nature, and the new heated swimming pool felt very luxurious. Lovely that we could take children and dogs and it all felt very informal and relaxed. It is very rural though so a car is essential to get anywhere. It was far too hot to contemplate walking 3 miles for a baguette and croissants! I would recommend Le Bois to friends wanting a peaceful escape from busy lives and a very quiet holiday with their doggies and children.

Beautiful property!
What a beautiful property! The pool is so nice, lots of loungers and both shade and sun. This is a very convenient location to see the Loire. We had a nice meal at the mushroom cave restaurant near Saumur, and if you are there during a market day, Langeais is also a nice town to have lunch and visit the market. We also recommend La Boufftard in Hommes - this was one of our favourite little restaurants in the area. We would also recommend kayaking along the Loire - very easy to do from Saumur, good for old and young as the river is shallow and slow moving. Le Bois is a large, but private property nestled in the trees amidst the countryside. The restored farmhouse is beautful inside and out - we highly recommend it.

Once again, simply the best!
This was our second visit to Le Bois, and once again we had a lovely stay. The gite is wonderful - impeccably restored with amazing oak beams. It's very private, but yet reasonably close to all the Loire valley has to offer. This year the owners added an amazing swimming pool with deck and cabana - you could really go here and have a great holiday without leaving the premises. As with last year, the gite was sparkling clean upon arrival; everything worked well; and the owners provided all the information we needed. We used the grill frequently in this trip and had several fantastic meals al fresco on the veranda. I'm a bit hesitant to post such a good review as I want to be able to get a booking for next year - but I've really not found a nicer place to stay on holiday!

About the host

Hosted by Andrew Craggs

Host profile image
Loire Valley Gites is owned by Andrew and Jayne Craggs.

Having had a love affair with the Loire Valley for more than 15 years we decided to purchase our own second home in the Loire Valley. After a year of searching we found Le Bois, a small hamlet on the outskirts of the pretty village of Meigne le Vicomte. Having spent two years renovating the main property we were finally able to create a stylish and luxurious second home for our family to enjoy. As with many renovations the project ran significantly over budget and to assist in the running costs of the property we decided to offer the property to rental guests.

Why they chose this property

The Loire Valley offers something for everyone and it is this diversity that attracted us to the region in the first place.

The pace of life is so much more relaxed than in the UK and the abundance of fresh produce and the huge range of local wines make this area a gastronomic pleasure to visit and live.

Loire Valley Gites have all the benefits of a quite rural farmstead but is within easy reach of all the main tourist attractions as well as both convenient rail, road and air connections.

What makes this property unique

We have furnished the property to an exceptionally high standard which make the property stand out from similar gites in the Loire Valley Region.

Our guests are greeted by a fantastic Shaker Style Kitchen with large feature fireplace with a log burning fire. With the complements of the owners you are presented with a welcome basket with some essentials to get your holiday stated.

We have high speed Wi-Fi internet throughout the house and provide a landline telephone (which also receives incoming calls) with free landline calls to many part of the world.

To provide you with even more relaxation guests have the option of choosing a home cooked meal from a range of menu options which are delivered directly to your gite on the day of your choosing.

All you have to do is relax!!
