Guestbook
March 08 "just to let you know we really enjoyed our trip despite the weather. I think your gite was super and really well placed for visiting places as well." S&D Oxfordshire.
April 08 - Thank you for making our holiday so enjoyable. You were always their if we needed anything, and nothing was too much trouble. The gite is in a lovely rural location with so much wildlife on the doorstop; the peace & quiet was just what we needed. The information pack & books in the Gite you provided meant we could plan out our days and we got to see so many of the beautiful Chateau & gardens and also the vineyards for wine tasting near you. Chris mostly enjoyed driving around the track at Le Mans.! I'm sure we will be back soon, Merci beaucoup Teresa & Chris
June 08 "Stayed at l’huilerie first weekend in June and enjoyed a most comfortable visit. The gite is spacious with good facilities including fully equipped kitchen, bathrooms with great showers, DVD and access to both the tranquillity of the local Loir area and many tourist attractions within a 45 minute drive including Amboise which we visited on our final day – a beautiful town with lots to see (the royal chateau & close luce where Leonardo de Vinci lived) and plentiful restaurants for a lunch or dinner stop.” AM England
