Perfection

We had a wonderful time at the La Simonais. Belinda was a brilliant host, greeting us on arrival and making us feel very at home. We had a group of nine, five children of various ages and four adults, the house, grounds and pool are so spacious that there is always a quiet spot to find. The garden and grounds are beautiful, and we spent many evenings walking through the fields and down to the canal to spot the coypu in the water. With La Baule close we headed off for a days horse riding and a trip to the beach, also ventured to the submarine at Saint Nazaire and had a lovely warm day in the delights of Nantes. Would we go back - 100% what a wonderful holiday, even the odd day of rain didn't affect our stay. Thanks once again Belinda, you've got a gem of place there!

Magical place!

We visited with a family of 10 and a dog. This included 4 young children who were spellbound by the castle, the pool and the grounds. We only left the Manoir to go to the supermarket and vets and never got bored. Everything we needed was provided and the kids had great fun exploring all the different rooms. Belinda was a lovely and helpful host, making sure that we got the most out of our stay. The grandchildren have already asked when we're going again! Thank you Belinda.

Lovely property with huge outside decks and beautiful pool

We are a large family group including grandparents, children and the grandchildren ranging from 4 years old to twenty somethings. It suited everyone, especially the pool !!! The Manoir is very private with everything you need it has very large gardens which were a haven for birds and wildlife. Whilst we were there we had visits from numerous birds, bats, frogs, deer, coypu and one night even wild boar. This is an ancient building and only in France could you get the opportunity to stay in such place, we felt lucky to be able to say we had stayed in a Castle . The area has many lovely places to visit including La Baule , Croisic, Guerande, Pornic, San Marc, Briere National Park all with festivals galore and the for those looking for something different the WW11 Submarine pens in St Nazaire. Our host Belinda was lovely and contactable at all times as was her housekeeper Isabelle . A lovely family holiday .

What an amazing place!!

We stayed at the Manoir for a week-long family gathering which at its peak comprised 10 adults, 2 teenagers, four children, a baby and a dog. The house and cottage together provided ample space for all and we never felt crowded. All the rooms are spacious and there are many living spaces as well as all the bedrooms so lots of different activities can proceed in parallel. The property is a beautiful old manor house and was spotlessly clean, very comfortable, well equipped and quiet. The pool was a favorite with youngsters and adults as was the outdoor table-tennis table. We arrived a little early and Isabelle, the housekeeper, met us and gave us a very useful tour of the house including instructions on how to operate the pool cover and cleaner. All in all it was everything that we had hoped for.
