Une semaine à Gy en Sologne
heureusement que nous ne sommes pas des inconditionnels de la télé, car celle de cette location n’offrait que 11 chaînes , ni la 1 la 2 la 3 la 26 et bien d’autres que nous regardons chez nous. Les journées étaient bien occupées et il y avait la 18 pour les enfants. Il serait bon que l’annonce prévienne que l’escalier qui donne accès à l’étage est relativement dangereux (nous sommes 3 à avoir fait une chute en le descendant dont moi qui ai 77 ans. Plus de peur que de mal) L’accès à la chambre de droite à l’étage comporte une marche d’environ 25 cm, elle était occupée par 2 enfants et la nuit, si on doit se rendre aux toilettes qui sont sur le palier, il y a la aussi risque de chute. La maison étant située au carrefour principal du village, il y a pas mal de circulation, mais cela reste acceptable la nuit, même si on est habitué à plus de calme. La terrasse côté cour est très calme. Pour quelques jours cette location est correcte .

Maison très pratique
La maison est bien située et malgré qu’elle soit en plein centre du village c’est très calme. Elle est très pratique car les propriétaires ont pensé à tout afin de ne manquer de rien. Le seul bémol ça a été la poussière qui apparemment n’avait pas été faite et la literie sentait le renfermé ce qui nous a dérangé car nous sommes allergiques aux acariens. Sinon c’est une maison très familiale et grande et les propriétaires répondent rapidement. Le voisin est venu nous montrer comment fonctionnait le chauffage et il a été très sympa aussi.

Très bon séjour
Après des journées riches mais fatigantes (Chambord, Beauval), nous avons été contents de nous reposer dans une maison familiale, très bien équipée et confortable où on se sent tout de suite comme chez nous. Le voisin, Mr Boulanger, est venu voir si tout allait bien et nous donner des informations utiles. Merci.

About the host

Hosted by Stuart and Gillian Maiden

Host profile image
Hello, we are Stuart and Gillian Maiden. This is us enjoying refreshments in front of the Maison du Magique in Blois. We recommend taking some time to rest here on your visit to Blois and enjoy the chateau views and life passing by. Oh yes and from around Easter an additional surprise!

Why they chose this property

We discovered we'd both loved France from an early age starting from French exchanges whilst a secondary schools. Gillian made life long friends in Vero and Olivier during her exchanges and it was because they lived in this area that we decided to buy our second home here. Vero was very supportive and scouted out loads of houses for us to view. In addition to the number of rooms we were looking for a renovated house in a small village near a boulangerie. We had begun to despair on the French understanding of renovated. Had we translated the wrong word?! Nothing had been quite right.
However, we knew when we parked in the village square of Gy en Sologne that we'd found the right place. We were almost shown separately around the cottage between the owner's son and the estate agent and met up in the courtyard smiling. Neither of us had to say anything. We knew this was the one! Then we were told there was more! And on that hot afternoon we walked to the edge of the village to see the allotment, field and wood that came with it.

What makes this property unique

When we bought the cottage one of the three doors at the top of the stairs opened into the roof with a low beam. This gave us the chance to add a bit of ourselves and the beam was raised and our lovely master bedroom created.

In addition to the cottage being within easy reach of our friends it has allowed us to make new friends in the village too. We enjoy just being there, Stuart enjoys cutting timber in the wood and Gillian now has her own tractor to 'cut the grass'. Our local Explorer Scouts in England come over and camp 'au nature' in the field.

When we can we enjoy village events such as the Fete de la Garde, a festival which celebrates the local hunting . We enjoy the easy walking around the area through woodlands and by the etangs (ponds) for which the region is well known. There's plenty to see in the area too. We still haven't exhausted the magnificent chateaux and local markets. The terrace is a true sun trap but in the late spring and summer you don't need to go too far to find an outdoor pool - we particularly like the one at St. Aignan. All year round in the evening it's lovely to eat outside and enjoy the stars. The village street lights switch off just before eleven pm, so the stars are brilliant and well worth a midnight walk on a clear night! If it's too cold though relaxing by the log fire is also a must. Living next door to Gy Suis Gy Reste is a real bonus. The restaurant is well worth a visit for regional home cooked food at lunchtime or to pop in for aperitif before an evening meal at home.
