Proche de la nature, Vallée de la Loire et Sologne, un lieu très apprécié *****

Jacquelin & Daniel gave us a genuine welcome and comprehensive tour of their beautiful holiday home and well tended surroundings. The gite had all that we required for our week in the Loiret. Positioned in it’s own park on the edge of the village with a large lake and wildlife to keep us interested.

As a bonus, Daniel had provided us with a tv channel that showed all of the FIFA world cup games. The WiFi had an extensive range that allowed us to sit outside to stargaze with the app on my pad and watch Sky Go when we wanted.

Although not suitable for young children because of the lake, we would thoroughly recommend Jacqueline & Daniel’s holiday home.

We had a wonderful vacation here. Jacqueline and Daniel are lovely people and happy to help if needed. We loved waking up to see the mist rising off the pond with the ducks cruising by. The property is immaculate. My husband and I highly recommend it. Reinhard and Myra Flick

The gite is amazing, very spacious, comfortable and well equipped. You have complete privacy overlooking the pond. (I called it a lake but apparently it's only a lake in France when by the mountains, however it takes 0.3 miles to walk round it!!)

There is numerous wildlife to watch which is very relaxing. The outside space is also fabulous, a large patio with table, chairs, sun loungers and BBQ. The owners, Jaqueline and Patrick are lovely, very friendly and keen to ensure that you are enjoying your stay without being intrusive. They live on the site and are happy to help if you need any help or information. Luckily Jacqueline's English is very good as our French is basic!! We only used the downstairs space as there was just to two of us, however there is comfortable space for six. The kitchen is fully kitted out and the open plan aspect make it very light and airy. All the fixtures and fittings are to a very high standard and there is lovely attention to detail, e.g. the outside lighting, the velux windows.

It is situated in a lovely area with many great places to visit near by. I would definitely recommend this gite.

Merci beaucoup to Jaqueline and Patrick for a fabulous stay.

'La Grange de mon Pere' is a beautiful holiday let in lovely tranquil surroundings. From the terrace you have an uninterrupted view of the lake and its wildlife and not a single neighbour in site!

The gite itself is spotlessly clean and extremely well appointed including thoughtful touches such as picnic blankets and insect repellant (which we didn't need!!).

Jacquline and Patrick are the most kind and welcoming hosts - nothing is too much trouble for them yet their presence is discreet and unassuming. On our arrival there were fresh flowers in the kitchen and a welcome tray including fruit, biscuits and a pot of homemade jam. During our stay we enjoyed thoughtful gifts of vegetables from the garden.

We wouldn't hesitate to recommend 'La Grange de mon Pere' and hope to return for another stay in years to come.

A lovely converted barn with its own small lake. We loved watching the wildlife in and around the lake, from the flying carp catching insects to the regular visits from a deer. And not forgetting the sitting tenants (a large family of ducks).

The barn had everything we wanted for our stay and the very discreet owners (Jacqueline and Patrick) were on hand if anything was needed. We would have no hesitation staying again if/when we are in this part of France.

There is plenty to do and see in the area. The Saturday Market at Beaugency was well worth a visit. Whilst the Parc Floral de La Source was not at its best (we were too late in the year for the irises) but it was still a very pleasant walk around the park.

Slightly further afield we particularly enjoyed a trip to the Canal-Pont de Briare (a marvellous engineering feat) and the towns of Blois and Amboise are brimming with history and well worth a visit.
