About the home
La Maison Rose is a one bed roomed cottage with a stylish interior. There is a glass fronted elevated garden room which has views over the garden and river. In the kitchen area there is an open fire for use in the cooler months and electric heaters throughout the rest of the property. There are exposed beams on both floors.
The cottage is set in a large mature garden which is bordered by the River Indre and the garden is visited by a variety of wildlife, lizards, frogs, bats, butterflies, red squirrels, coypus and even pine martens. One can see a variety of birds including stone chats, black caps, gold finches, green finches, woodpeckers both green and spotted, heron and heard for the first time this year (May 2011) the nightingale.
.
The town of La Chatre, which is only 5 minutes from the cottage, has numerous bars, restaurants (French, Italian, Chinese), patisseries, charcuteries, boutiques etc. Market day, Saturday morning, turns the normally quiet town in to a buzz of activity as people arrive from miles around. Leave the car at the cottage and take the short walk to the town centre. There are also 3+ good supermarkets to choose from, one within walking distance of the cottage. La Chatre has an indoor/outdoor swimming pool. The village of Nohant is only 5minutes drive away and was the home of George Sand the female author whose friends included Chopin (her lover), Berlioz and Delacroix to name a few. Her chateau and gardens are open to the public and Nohant hosts many musical events. The surrounding countryside is flat and ideal for walking or cycling. There are many pretty little villages nearby to explore - the picturesque towns of Argenton-sur-Creuse, St Gautier, Gargilesse all within a 40minute drive. There are beautiful lakes and chateaux nearby Sarzay, St Chartier and Culan all within 20 minutes drive and the Brenne National Parc, famous for birdwatching, is only 60 minutes away.

Guestbook for Maison Rose
"We really enjoyed the cottage - peace and tranquility yet within walking distance of bars & food. Only fault was that we had only booked for a week." Stuart - Lincs.
"We spent our honeymoon at your cottage. We'd just like to say thank you for the wonderful time. Everything was perfect!" Sean-Co Tyrone
"The perfect getaway, Colin and Marian gave excellent info, would go back in a sec!" Gayle - Edinburgh
We had such a wonderful relaxing week at La Maison Rose that we might just have to do it all over again!
Steve and Sarah, Lancaster
"Thank you so much for letting us stay in your beautiful French home. We had a fantastic time, relaxing in the garden. The decoration of the house was absolutely gorgeous too." Kate - London
"A really lovely cottage, in a great part of France. Would recommend to anyone." Peter - Rugby
Just wanted to say a big thank you for letting us borrow your beautiful house in La Chatre at such short notice. We were desperate to get away and have a relaxing time and thats just what we did. My husband loved the fishing and caught a couple of really big fish. We loved the whole area and didn't want to come home. Larraine - Felixstowe 2009
Just wanted to say what a wonderful holiday we had in your cottage. We had a couple of rainy days where we lounged in the house and the rest of the week was scorching hot - so we lounged in the garden!
Your garden was lovely and relaxing, we saw lots of butterflies, lizards, frogs bats, and birds. We saw the coypu twice and saw an owl too.
The house was even more gorgeous than we imagined and it was lovely sitting in the garden room in the evening with the windows open and a glass of wine.Mark & Mandy - Notts 2009
We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. If our 4 week French holiday had to be curtailed to only 7 days at La Maison Rose it would have made the long trip over worthwhile.
Brian & Susan - Queensland, Austrailia Oct 2009
We have so enjoyed La Maison Rose! Every day has been a dream. Best wishes M&C for their wonderful hospitality. We very much hope to return again one day soon.
Gabrielle & Jan - Hants April 2010
We've had a wonderful relaxing week and really made use of the sunroom and BBQ. Your garden is quite spectacular, the house quirky and very French and the setting quite amazing.
Tricia & Bill - Glasgow. June 2010
Kudos to the staff! The building and grounds are wonderfully maintained. La Maison Rose has been a wonderful place to relax after a hectic visit to India.
Nik - Ohio, USA. July 2010
A beautiful house and gardens, very well equipped and comfortable - we are reluctant to leave.

Just wanted to say a big thank you for letting us stay at La Maison Rose again. I forgot to write in the visitors book before we left but wanted you to know that we had a lovely relaxing time. Thanks again.

We loved our stay at La Maison Rose and said as much in the guest book. We will definitely recommend it to all our friends.
