Peaceful getaway in a beautiful setting

We had a lovely stay at the gîte in the beautiful Loire Valley. The accommodation was comfortable and well-equipped, offering everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. Our happy dogs could explore its garden safely.The location was good for exploring the charming towns, vineyards and châteaux in the area. Overall, everything was just as expected, and we enjoyed a pleasant and hassle-free stay. Thank you for the warm hospitality!

Lovely Christmas stay.

We have just came home from a week stay over Christmas. When we arrived the fire was lit and looked very homely. The little cottage had everything you need for a week stay. The walking on the old railway track was amazing. Good for walking or cycling. Can't fault the stay. Thank you.

Lovely early autumn break

A truly warm welcome as Jim, the owner of the property, had lit the log burner for us and there was a good stock of logs for subsequent evenings. It's a delightful property, well equipped, with pretty much everything you could need. L'Homme, the nearby village has a restaurant, creperie, patisserie, boucherie and a little general store - we used them all! There is an abundant stock of leaflets and guide books at the house covering walks locally and other attractions further afield. Summer guests would be able to enjoy the garden, but we can certainly recommend this as an out of season location. It isn't easy to find somewhere that is suitable for out of season French holidays.

Great stay in well appointed cottage

Loved the cottage. Appreciated the welcome pack & logs for fire as well as local tips. Ideal for dogs with hard floors and large secure garden. Owners were close if needed but unobtrusive. All good.

Bijzondere gîte in een landelijke omgeving

Het was een verrassing hoe mooi de gîte was en vooral de afgelegen ligging vonden wij een verademing. We hebben heerlijk op het terras in de tuin gezeten en genoten van de vogels. We hebben 3 x een fietstocht in de buurt gemaakt. Ook een dagje naar Le Mans was een prima keus. Wat een mooie stad. In de gîte was alles aanwezig wat je je maar wenst. Ophélie en Jim zijn fantastische eigenaren.

A very beautiful Gite

Both Ophelia & Jim are excellent hosts and very helpful. the standard of the house is wonderful. Very well equipped and the furnishings are lovely. We had a wonderful time here during the week evidenced by how well we both slept. We happily recommend this Gite as a base for discovering the area and the lovely surroundings. The garden is a delight to sit in and enjoy a BBQ.

Relaxing and peaceful week

The Gite is located in a beautiful part of Loire with many interesting places to visit within an hours drive. The Gite is fully equipped, peaceful and enjoys wonderful countrydside views. The outdoor space is particularly beautiful. The log fire is perfect for a cozy evening with a bottle of locally produced wine. Helpful and responsive hosts. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to escape for a week of peace, natural beauty and fine cuisine.

Perfekter Aufenthalt

Die Ferienwohnung ist perfekt für Paare und kleine Familien zugleich. Sie liegt in absoluter französischer Idylle, weit weg von Straße und Ortschaft, in einem Seitenarm einer kleinen Siedlung. Dort erreicht man perfekte Ruhe. Die Ferienwohnung ist sehr gemütlich und bietet alles was man braucht. Der Garten ist eingezäunt und separiert. Man ist für sich. Die Gastgeber sind herzlich und sehr diskret. Sicher nicht unser letzter Aufenthalt dort. Aus dieser Ortschaft lassen sich die Schlösser der Loire besichtigen und in der Umgebung sind alle Läden für das tägliche Leben gut erreichbar. Abschließend: ein wunderbarer Klein-Ode in der Natur. Wer Rückzug und Ruhe sucht findet es hier, Familien mit max. zwei Kindern finden hier ebenfalls eine sichere und heimische Ferienhaus-Umgebung.

Sehr schöner Aufenthalt. Das Haus ist gemütlich und geschmackvoll eingerichtet, es fehlte an nichts! Toll auch für unsere 2 Hunde: das ganze Grundstück ist eingezäunt.

Cosy cottage

We had a great stay in la petite grange. If you love nature and living in the countryside and have no fear of driving a little bit more in order to visit „bigger“ hotspots you might be right here. The house was cosy and offered everything you need to make yourself at home.

Couldn’t Be Better

We absolutely LOVED our stay at this gite. Great location, very roomy and everything was in perfect condition. Ophelia and James were great!! Be aware if you arrive on a Sunday or Monday - no markets and very few restaurants are open, so plan accordingly. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!!

Encantadora y tranquila casa con todas las comodidades.

Hemos disfrutado mucho de la estancia en La petite Grange!. Aunque está un poco apartado de las principales atracciones del Valle del Loira, sin embargo su ubicación es buena para ir a Le Mans, Chartres y Tours o si se quiere visitar el Valle de rio Loir. El entorno es muy tranquilo en medio del campo y lo bonita y acogedora que es la casa ayuda a relajarse cuando llegas después de un día de visitar Castillos y monumentos. Tiene de todo: completo set de Electrodomésticos, leña para la chimenea, juegos de mesa, TV, una impresionante colección de DVD, un patio delantero y otro trasero y un sinfín de cosas mas. Los propietarios son muy amables y nos ayudaron mucho a la llegada y siempre que los consultamos (Ophèlie ademas habla castellano!!). Se aparca en la misma puerta (ideal para descargar maletas, comida, etc.) En el terreno vecino hay ovejas y gallinas (que hacen las delicias de los niños) y también hay juguetes para los mas pequeños. Un estancia fenomenal que seguro repetiremos!!

Charming cottage in hamlet

Cosy country hideaway but with facilities close by. Ideal cottage for a couple. Well laid out accommodation and well equipped. Plenty of extras left for visitors - eggs laid a few yards away were delicious. Jim very friendly and helpful. Plenty of places to visit within a short drive. Nearby ex railway line ideal for easy cycle ride.

About the host

Hosted by James Marchant

Host profile image
Jim's a Brit, Ophélie is French and their two daughters are Franglais.
We have been living in France for 12 years and whilst Ophélie works in Le Mans, Jim works from home, next door to the gîte, so will always be available if any help is ever required.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property shortly after we bought our house next door. We realised straight away that it would make the perfect little gîte.

We fell in love with the area straight away. The location is great for travelling back to the UK and it has a nice mix of rurality whilst not being too far from the big towns of Tours and Le Mans.

It is a peaceful part of France but within easy driving distance of the more popular tourist areas of Normandy, Brittany and the Loire Valley. And that's not to say there aren't plenty of things to see and do locally!

The gîte is situated in a very small hamlet and our neighbours are very friendly yet suitably discreet!
