Pleasant cottage in rural setting

This is a very nice cottage in a rural setting, so a good place to get away from it all. Walking and cycling in the area is very nice with well signposted routes. (we really enjoyed our visit to chateau de Montgeoffroy). There is a small village about 20 minutes walk away, but unfortunately for us the baker was closed for most of the time, possibly due to road works in the village square. The lane at the front of the cottage was also quite busy, which surprised us, but could also have been related to the road works. We enjoyed the pool in the large back garden, but could have done with a parasol for some shade (i think we were there in the hottest week of the year so far!) All in all this is a nice cottage, but needs a bit of TLC to bring out its full potential.

Peaceful and quiet remote stay in rural france

We found the property could do with some t.l.c e.g back door once locked you could still open and the pool could really benefit from being heated also a few more spare light bulbs would have been handy as some were not working which is a pain when you turn on at 8. O’clock in the evening on first night. There was no local shop in the village for basic foods etc and you have to drive to Bauge for this. There is a local bakers which was shut while we were there. On the plus side we were very pleased with the welcome pack we received as after a long drive it was very rewarding. Overall we had a very relaxing stay and recommend this for a nice quiet, relaxing break.

Lovely little house

The property was perfect for us. Two adults and two young children. Very well equipped kitchen and perfect having English channels on the tv. The pool is such a lovely setting and the patio is just perfect for a quiet private bbq in the evening. The kids loved running around the orchard and we even got a visit from the neighbours cows. I had a run into the village boulangerie, which was just a perfect distance, but loads of supermarkets within a small drive. Highly recommend the market at la flech every wednesday for oysters and muscles. We would love to stay again.

les petite caberets stay

3 of us have just spent a wonderful 10 days in this quaint very french cottage. Very quiet location with great pool, village bakery and bar few minutes by car. Large Super U supermarket in Bauge 10 minutes away. It was 40 degrees but we were supplied with several fans which were needed. All in all we would go again, very reasonably priced and lots of places to visit within easy reach. Contact with English owners excellent before we arrived

Tranquil and rustic gite, perfect for relaxing getaway

Le Petit Cabarets is situated in the beautiful Loire Valley and is the perfect place to retreat to if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle. It is completely private and well looked after by Heather and Yvonne. We were incredibly impressed by the luxury provided and thoughtful touches like the bubbly and chocolate on arrival! The gite is well - equipped with everything you could possibly need and is ideal for families who would like some privacy and a good base to explore the area. The private pool, BBQ and board games were real highlights for us and the pictures really don't do the place justice. We would highly recommend and are hoping to return next year!

About the host

Hosted by The Samways Family

The properties, a main farmhouse ('Le Petit Cabaret') and a smaller gite ('Les Cabarets'), are owned by the Samways Family, and we have had the property as a holiday home for nearly 20 years. All four generations have enjoyed staying over the years. We love the peace and quiet and privacy that the rural setting provides, but equally, the property is within a short walk or short drive to plenty of attractions to keep both small children (lizard hunting on the farm, swimming etc.) and teenagers (tree-climbing centre, cycling etc.) entertained. The Owners will be more than happy to recommend places to visit and see (including some fantastic restaurants). We have a local point of contact for times when we are not out in France, in case guests need any on-site issues or queries.
