This was a late booking for us, so we did not do much research or have any pre-conceptions before we arrived. We were absolutely blown away by the location of the properties. They are in beautiful countryside near rolling meadows and broad leaf woods. Lots of wild life and birds as well as farming. The gites are as described - rustic, but well maintained and comfortable. This is not luxury living, but you have everything you need - there is also a reliable wifi connection which is a real bonus. The pool is lovely and, if you are bringing kids, they will have loads of fun hanging out there - great for adults too as it is big enough to swim in and has wonderful views across the surrounding fields. It is far enough away from the properties to ensure that any high jinx in the pool do not disturb those trying to get 40 winks or a quiet beer in the gites!

If you want a holiday just hang out and reading a good book, Trois Maisons can provide that, but it is also surrounded by lovely villages, opportunities for canoeing and hanging out by the river, great walks, chateaux, and fabulous eating.

Last but not least, Tim and Sarah are fantastic hosts. If you just want to be left alone, that is fine by them, but if you need any information or help they will go out of their way to provide it. Big thanks to them for taking us canoeing (we would never have done it without their encouragement!), for the great pizza and for helping us to ensure we all had a great holiday. I would not hesitate to recommend Trois Maisons to families or couples looking for a rural get away with a bit extra.
