Large quirky property - very french with excellent pool
Had a very enjoyable stay, lovely property but listing didnât give the full picture. It does not have air conditioning (just one ceiling fan in conservatory), the listed restaurants nearby no longer existed or only open for lunch, rickety spiral staircase to two of the bedrooms and bathroom is downstairs only. However itâs an old property with thick walls so is naturally cooler, there are restaurants/shops 15 mins drive away and the pool is the best we have ever had in a holiday property (warm, clean etc). We only saw the host once when we arrived and he was very helpful. Very peaceful and well equipped property.
This is a lovely old house with many original features which has been restored and modernised without losing any of its charm or character. The owner lives next door and is very welcoming and helpful but unobtrusive. We found the house spacious, well equipped, comfortable and very nice and warm during a chilly week in early April. Outside there are lots of different sheltered and shady seating areas and the garden is fantastic for easter egg hunts! Surrounded by quiet roads and flat rolling countryside, it's in a great area for family walks and bike rides while the large deep indoor swimming pool is warm and inviting whatever the outside weather.
As a group which included very small children, we did find the layout of the accommodation a bit tricky because the bedrooms are accessed by three separate staircases and the main bathroom is off the kitchen.
We stayed for two weeks at the beginning of august. The property is beautiful plenty of room for all of us with everything you need during your stay. There are several areas to relax a large courtyard area with areas to enjoy the sun or in shade if itâs too warm. There is a bbq area in the courtyard and a separate bbq area over looking the garden with wonderful views of the sunset. The garden is beautiful and very private. The pool was always warm and always available. The hosts are really lovely people, communication was great and informative. They are available if needed without being at all intrusive. The area is very quiet but it was a great base from where we could explore the chĂąteau and other attractions Richelieu was a favourite for us all. Thank you for a perfect stay
