About this property

Sunny gite with large private garden, shared heated pool for the perfect holiday

We know how important location is to get the best from your holiday, which is why we know you will enjoy your stay with us at Le Bouchet and we only have two gites, each with its own private landscaped areas to make sure you have as peaceful and relaxing time as possible.
Le Bouchet is located in the quiet, beautiful wooded countryside of the Touraine region in the Loire Valley yet only five minutes from Descartes with its shops, bars, restaurants and supermarkets and well within reach of the major Loire chateaux and vineyards. The local area is a rich haven for wildlife, with red deer and wild boar roaming around and buzzards crying out as they circle overhead; herons and many different types of wild birds are often seen in and around the local lake.
We have tried to extend that environment into the gardens at Le Bouchet which are extensively landscaped and planted to attract the wildlife while at the same time offering you the amenities you need to enjoy your holiday, the large heated pool with its own terrace where you can keep an eye on the little ones, a picnic area overlooking the pool and a play area with swing, slide, climbing frame and goals for a game of football.
Our two gites have been renovated to a very high standard providing all the necessary facilities you need to get the most from your holiday.

This gite, La Laiterie has been lovingly restored from what were the old cow sheds and many of the original beams and features have been retained to provide comfortable, spacious accommodation that includes:

Upstairs:
· One double bedroom, one twin single bedroom and a bedroom with four single beds. All the bedrooms have air conditioning units, fans and hair dryers
· Large family bathroom with shower cubicle, hand basin, toilet and heater

Downstairs:
· One double bedroom
· Large bathroom with shower cubicle, separate bath, hand basin, toilet and heater
· Utility room with toilet, hand basin and washing machine
· Fully fitted, well equipped kitchen including a dishwasher, large fridge/freezer, microwave, toaster and coffee machine.
· Open plan living/dining area with comfortable seating and large table easily seating 10
· WiFi internet access
· UK and French Satellite TV and CD Player
· French doors off the lounge to your own large, south facing private garden with sun loungers, pergola, table, chairs and barbecue.

Beautiful gite
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Four wonderfully large bedrooms, comfy beds, beautifully clean and well equipped, there was nothing else we could have needed or wished for; we were only sorry we could only have 6 nights there.

Outstanding property
The quality of this property cannot be argued. Spotlessly clean, excellent location with fantastic facilities and gardens. Easy access to local town with large supermarket. Pool great, kitchen excellent and bedrooms comfortable. Air conditioning could have been better but didn't detract from the enjoyment of the holiday. The hosts could have been a little more friendly but we didn't hire the house for their company (just a point for them to consider for the future). Would highly recommend this property for large families.

Wonderful stay!
Nice home in a gorgeous French countryside setting. Perfect for kids, with lots of space, quiet and peaceful, a nicely kept swimming pool, BBQ, and other amenities. Very nice owners who live on the property. Fairly central location to the Loire valley although it's a 45+ min drive to actually get into the region where many of the wineries are. It was a worthwhile tradeoff given the amount of space and a great value.

très calme et belle prestation, bien équipée
Gîte bien agencé pour grande famille ou groupe. La cuisine est très bien équipée, même pour une douzaine de personne. Les chambres sont préparées comme dans un hôtel ( pas le souci de se charger de la literie). Deux salles de bain très fonctionnelles (serviettes fournies !). Le jardin permet de se reposer sur les nombreux bains de soleil, et la grande pergola abrite du soleil lors des repas. La grande piscine permet de passer de bon moment avec les petits enfants et les grands. Bravo pour cette prestation de qualité.

Excellent!
Tout est fait pour que nous nous sentions chez nous à la Laiterie. En amont, le réglage des quelques questions logistiques avec Susan, notamment pour le matériel nécessaires pour les bébés / enfants. Sur place, des propriétaires accueillants et également discrets, un équipement complet, un jardin privatif vraiment agréable, et une piscine très bien conçue, pour le bonheur de tous. Et très propre! Nous étions 6 adultes et 3 enfants et avons vraiment pu déconnecter et profiter ensemble du calme de cette belle maison et des premiers rayons de soleil persistants! La méteo nous a été favorable. Je recommande donc vivement ce gîte.

About the host

Hosted by Trevor and Susan Aylett

Host profile image
Life in the UK was all pretty normal for us - I was a project manager with Xerox, Sue was a supply teacher at local schools and our two girls were happy at the local village school when the reality of redundancy reared its ugly head for me. After trying to start my own business, without success, Sue and I realised we needed a new challenge and after much thought I had the idea of moving to the Loire Valley in France and running gites, so here we are!

Why they chose this property

After spending over a year looking for the right place we came upon Le Bouchet. Close to Descartes, we realised that it was a great location as it was in the Loire Valley and on the border with the Vienne, making it an ideal location for holidays, having easy access to the major Loire Chateaux, the Futuroscope theme park and the Brenne National Park.

What makes this property unique

We know how important location is to get the best from your holiday, which is why we know you will enjoy your stay with us at Le Bouchet and we only have two gites, each with its own private landscaped areas to make sure you have as peaceful and relaxing time as possible. The gites location makes it perfect for seeing lots of the Loire chateaux but there are also lots of other things to see and do further south, locally and in the Vienne.
