We are only 10 minutes drive from the second most visited chateau in France after Versailles - Chateau de Chenonceau.

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 |

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 |

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 |
