We had a fantastic time at this amazing house, with lots of space inside and out. The house is located on a multigenerational farm, and there is plenty of space! It was very clean and we had everything we could need for a stay with the children. There was also lots more to do in the area than we knew, and we enjoyed going to the lake at Angers and biking to the local villages.

Thank you Linda for your commentary but it’s too bad you didn't ask Jérôme to adjust the air conditioning as you wanted to have a good stay. Thanks for your stay.
Had a great week at Bouju this August. Pool is fab, and the children loved the football table, and outdoor play equipment. Kitchen is good - especially the spacious industrial grade fridge - perfect! Multiple supermarkets within 10 minutes and loads to see very close by. Don’t miss the castle in the centre of Angers, and then the children’s playground near the river. Thank you for a great stay!

Thank you very much for your message, we are very happy to see that you have happens a good time to Bouju.
We had a wonderful time here. The kids (and we) really enjoyed the very nice swimming pool and hot tub - that was their highlight! There was lots of space in the garden, a bbq and very nice walk around the lake. The house was really spacious and the open plan kitchen/living area was ideal. The layout of the bedrooms upstairs also worked really well for us as a family with young children. The nice, quiet air conditioning made a big difference upstairs when we hit a heat wave. The family were very responsive and helpful beforehand and during our stay.
It was in a peaceful location but with lots of interesting things to do nearby. We really enjoyed the historic village at Le parc de la couere (old carriages and cars, animals, 'train ride' behind a bumpy tractor, 1950s carousel rides, and a 1900s village). We went to Angers several times as well, it was very easy to get to, very interesting and lots to see.
We had a really wonderful, memorable time and would definitely stay again.
Un accueil aussi agréable que la maison. Tout correspond parfaitement aux prestations décrites dans l’annonce Nous avons apprécié le calme et les prestations. La piscine et le bain à remous sont vraiment au top ! Toute la famille a profité un maximum de l’ensemble de notre week end grâce a tous les équipements. La literie aussi est très bonne ! Tout était parfait pour notre week end.Je recommande vraiment sans hésiter ! À refaire ;)
