The Loire Valley / Loir-et-Cher region

A year-round self catering rental for 2, centrally located in the Loire Valley, the famous valley of the Kings; you will visit the beautiful and historic castles (chateaux) - Chenonceau, Amboise, Chambord, Villandry and many more. The Loire Valley - also know as le jardin de France - has a lovely climate - not too hot in summer and lovely crisp days in the winter; the Chateaux are open all the year round. Wonderful fresh fruit and veg and produce from the farms in our local markets - our cottage has a newly installed gourmet cook's kitchen. We are only 10 minutes drive from the second most visited chateau in France after Versailles - Chateau de Chenonceau. We are in the heart of the Touraine wine region so if you are keen on wines this is your chance to visit the viticulteurs in Vouvray, Chinon, Bourgeuil and Saumur ; 2 hours from Sancerre

The Saint Georges sur Cher area

The location is quiet, set close to the vineyards a few steps away so lovely walks and cycle rides. You can walk or cycle along the River to Chenonceaux or shop in Montrichard, Tours or Amboise; there is a market every day so take your choice; local cafes and restaurants are excellent. Visit Tours and sit in the square at the historic Place Plumereau. Other attractions include river boats through the arches at Chenonceau or on the Loire at Amboise; the aquarium at Amboise, zoo at St Aignan

“Quaint and Centrally Located” We stayed 4 days at "The Barn" during the 6th leg of our 6-week, self-drive European vacation. We wanted to be centrally located to visit the many castles in the area. The converted Barn... more Response: We are pleased to hear our guests liked the cottage; we have recently installed a new kitchen and this is one of our most popular cottages (we have six cottages all our own). We are sorry to hear... more

“Most well-equipped holiday rental I've ever been to” Apart from being set in beautiful surroundings and being tastefully decorated, the Barn is just a few minutes away from the Chenonceau castle and is perfectly suited for a romantic get-away for two. We enjoyed the garden and the terrace (perfect for a BBQ), but the thing that struck me the most is that the owners have taken the time and effort to make their guests feel as much at home as possible. One would be hard-pressed to find anything missing in the kitchen in terms of equipment and the information pack we were sent prior to our arrival didn't simply contain directions and rules, but an impressive collection of tips about the area, nearby attractions (castles, markets) and even a list of recommended restaurants and wine cellars with reviews from past guests. On top of all that, the Garage is full of bicycles and BBQ sets which you can use! I will certainly stay here again if I ever go back to the Loire and have already recommended the Barn to my friends and colleagues. Response: Thank you for your review, we're so pleased it ticked all the right boxes for your visit to the Loire Valley

“Great Holiday in Vrigny” The Barn in Vrigny is excellent accommodation for a couple wanting a relaxing and comfortable getaway. We stayed for 11 nights in one of the best equipped and appointed holiday apartment we have used. Excellent value for money and in an ideal location to visit and explore the many attraction of the Touraine and greater Loire and Cher regions of France. Chateaux and wine tasting are just a few kilometres away as is a number of excellent restaurants and local markets in Amboise and Loches On arrival everything is spotlessly clean and if the linen package is an option you will find it clean and in good condition. The Barn has a washing machine and if needed there is a dryer available within the complex. For those interested there is bicycles available. Also hot air ballooning is an adventure to see the Touraine or Loire from the air. A car is essential and it is safe in an off road location overnight. Response: Thank you for your review, we're so pleased it ticked all the right boxes for your visit to the Loire Valley

“Great unique accommodation for a couple visiting the Loire valley” An excellent modernisation of an old barn into well-equipped and characterful self-catering accommodation for a couple. On the edge of a quiet hamlet near the river Cher, nearest chateau being Chenonceaux. Secluded patio and large orchard for relaxing after a busy day sightseeing. (We had all our meals outside thanks to perfect weather!). All mod cons, but mezzanine bedroom with low ceiling means care needed for any toilet trips downstairs during the night. Local shops 1 km away, big supermarket 5 kms away. Car essential, though bikes provided and good walks all around. Efficient and personal booking arrangements worked perfectly. Response: Thank you for your review, we're so pleased it ticked all the right boxes for your visit to the Loire Valley.
