Home description

The accommodation which is a self contained part of our main barn and known by the locals as The West Wing, has been sympathetically renovated using the original beams and stone work, ideal for couples looking for tranquil surroundings set in the heart of the countryside in the Loire Valley.

It is located near to the village of Crevant with a grocery store (selling petrol), baker, butcher, hairdresser and bar & restaurant where you can enjoy the 4 course "Plat de Jour" including wine and coffee for 15 euros. There is another bar & restaurant in the village that has an outdoor swimming pool and tennis courts for hire.

This is such a wonderful place. So quiet, peaceful and relaxing. The accommodation is superb and so sympathetically done. You don't expect to make friends when you go on holiday but we have definitely found 2 people with whom we would stay in touch. Thanks for everything

What a wonderful, relaxing week we've had. It's such an idyllic setting to sit and eat dinner outside in. We've enjoyed going to get our morning bread on our bikes.
