Ferme en pierre et en granit, à la campagne, avec piscine privative chauffée

We stayed for a week in June and enjoyed getting out and about in the area; luckily, the weather was pretty good overall.

The building itself is very nice but when we were there it was not clean......amongst other things, the shower was absolutely filthy, the French doors were barely transparent, the floors were grimy underfoot and there was a big pile of filled dog waste bags on the window ledge which we had to dispose of! We had high hopes and were very dismayed with the cleanliness of the property throughout. I sent the owner some photographs and the owner has apologised and said there's not been a problem before.

The gardens are large and there is plenty of space, with a large seating area outside the kitchen. The pool is great. If you have a dog, be sure to use a tick treatment as ours picked a couple up........the spot on did the job.

Unfortunately, due to the housekeeping, we would not want to return to this property.

We have stayed in several properties in the local area, while visiting family and this is far the best. The property is very spacious and well equipped, we all like to cook, so rarely eat out and there was everything we needed, particularly loved the pots of fresh herbs on the patio near the kitchen door. The bedrooms are spacious with very comfortable beds with nice linen. Everywhere was clean and the house was a pleasure to be in. The grounds are lovely and although not warm enough to sit out, we enjoyed he privacy and freedom. Our young labrador was in his element, We would certainly recommend this property, you will not be disappointed. Hope to return very soon.

Two families grandchildren parents and grandparents first guests of the year, no pool but a glorious open fire. A pregnant wild cat to care for. Everybody had a wonderful time, many thanks Caroline and John xx

Family of 7 including grandparents and children aged 15, 10 and 5 years old. We have just unpacked after a very relaxing week that involved little more than eating, shopping and swimming!!! Caroline, the owner, was a pleasure to deal with and offered lots of help in the planning stage including researching opening times for supermarkets and the best place to horsehide for a beginner. The property was clean and well prepared for our arrival with very clear instructions on how to use everything. The house is large and well equipped with excellent bedlinen and the kitchen contains everything you need. I made good use of the dishwasher, washing machine and tumble drier and have just arrived home with only half a load of washing which is always a bonus. I would recommend taking more towels (pool and house towels are provided) if you have kids like mine that will swim three times each day as we very quickly used up the house supply. This trip was approximately our 15th to France and this is definitely the warmest, cleanest and most enjoyable pool that our kids have been lucky enough to use. The gym and the sauna are just an added bonus! There was ample provision for outside seating for all of us with plenty of sunbeds around the pool and the bbq and patio area were also used regularly. We only really ventured out to eat a couple of times and we took the kids karting which was great fun. Apart from that, we lazed around and enjoyed the beautiful pool and garden - a great week for all of us. We paid 'high season' prices for a week in August and I can tell you (as someone who has rented many, many times) this house offers truly great value for money. My only complaint is that the sun didn't shine a little bit more! Thanks Caroline - you have been a wonderful host.

Just returned from our second stay at La Guelandiere and it was fantastic once again!

Very secluded and peaceful but close enough to the delightful town of Sees. First time we visited Paris and did lots of trips, this time we spent most of the time at the pool. Our kids loved the pool, keep and eye on them but with roman steps and shallow sides, even at the deep end, they will enjoy it.

Remember this is the countryside, with wonderful wildlife to match, we saw wild boar, deer, dragon flies etc etc!

Lots of room in the house to chill out and get away from the heat of the summer.

Once you find the entrance to the long private driveway through the woodland, you will be taken in by the tranquil location. (Follow the owners directions to the entrance very carefully and you will be fine)

I would highly recommend this farmhouse for families and for those wanting a base to discover the local area. Paris on the train, lakes just a short drive away, local towns and cities to explore......what more could you ask for. The owners are exceptionally nice to deal with and will ensure that you have a brilliant holiday!

We'll be back.....again!
