About the home

Originally a farmworkers cottage, now refurbished to a high standard. Enter through a stable door into the kitchen/diner, with a woodburner stove set in the original stone fireplace. Solid oak kitchen units, dresser and dining room table with leather chairs lends a touch of luxury to the well equipped kitchen. Next door is the living room with stairs up to the stunning king size bedroom with cathedral vaulted ceiling. The twin bedroom leads off the living room and the bathroom is off the kitchen/diner.
A 5 minute drive takes you to our local market town of Noyant, with excellent amenities. Saumur, a lively town on the banks of the Loire is less than half an hour away, offering boutique style shops, a large Saturday market and many bars, restaurants and a grand Chateau. This part of the Loire Valley has much to offer for everyone, probably best known for its wine production, Chateaux and golf. Book a Wine tasting tour with us to explore some exceptional vineyards in the area and taste their wines without the worry of drinking and driving.

La Coyere Farmhouse

The Loire Valley / Maine-et-Loire region

Often called the 'Garden of France' for its temperate climate, the Loire Valley is an enchanted land of vineyards, sunflowers and rolling green hills, dotted with more than a thousand Chateaux. In 2000, UNESCO added the central part of the Loire Valley to its prestigious list of World Heritage sites.

The Saumur area

Home to the Cadre Noir, known for its annual horse shows. There is a tank museum, the Musée des Blindes, with more than 850 armoured vehicles. High above the town, the 14th century Chateau houses the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, an impressive collection of European china and the Musée du Cheval, progressing through the evolution of bridles and stirrups to an amazing and diverse saddlery collection. Also visit the troglodyte dwellings carved out of the cliffs, the Musée de Champignons, underground caves used to grow 70% of France’s mushrooms and enjoy a guided tour of the sparkling wine tuffeau caves, taste the local wines and buy direct. Le Mans, Tours, Angers and Poitiers are all within a reasonable drive, offering a wealth of attractions and things to do.

“Lovely relaxing accomodation” The cottage was very clean and tidy and well equiped. The beds were very comfortable and the hosts (Claire and John) were very helpful and friendly. Meals can be booked for day of arrival and on request and Claires cooking was fabulous! We enjoyed the meal with Claire and John and the other guests staying at the adjoining gite. We had a great relaxing week, just what the doctor ordered! :)

“A very successful and enjoyable return visit” Our second trip to Le Coyere after a wonderful two weeks last year. This time my parents came along and stayed in the Gite next door. While the weather wasn't brilliant (by high French standards), the holiday was otherwise everything we had hoped for. The accomodation is first class with everything you need. The location is very central for wine, historic, leisure and just fun trips out for the family. Walking is very easy from Le Coyere. The owners Claire and John are suitably attentive but also sensitive to a desire for privacy. And Jack (the resident cocker spaniel) is just a wonderful addition; he's quiet, well behaved and a true character.

“Wonderful accommodation, idyllic location and great hosts! When can we go back?” We booked to stay at The Cottage in La Coyere for a week in mid-August. The accommodation is set in a little hamlet south of the town of Noyant. The area is beautiful and serene. The cottage was... more

“Relaxing stay in a delightful gite in the Pays de Loire” Stayed for a week in July 2012.The gite was well-appointed and the welcome warm and considerate The owners live in an adjacent property and were able to offer advice on local facilities and services on request. The pool and decking area were attractive features of a holiday property in a beatiful rural location

“Getting away from the hustle and bustle” We had a great time despite the French weather letting us down. An idyllic setting with well equipped accomodation. Claire and John were fabulous hosts, informative and so helpful. Their wine tour is a must giving you the opportunity to sample as much as you like without having to drive. I will certainly be making a return trip.

“Gite holiday at its finest” Beautiful area. Gite owners have very helpful information on the surrounding area and all the wonderful places you can visit. Le Mans, Tours and Angers nearby if you want to experience the hustle and bustle of France. However, also nearby (some walking distance) are little french villages to please everyone. Favorite places....Samur, and the visit to Gratien & Meyer - interesting for all age groups.

“A bit special...” This was our first stay at La Coyere and came on the back of a recommendation from family who had stayed there the previous year. La Coyere has many things going for it - nestled in a tiny rural French community (very welcoming and friendly), an attractive quirky gite that is very practical for a family of 4, a quiet rural location but only 5 minutes from the nearest village (Noyant) and 20 minutes from a good urban centre (Saumur) and very welcoming, thoughtful, helpful but discrete owners. The immediate locality has plenty of country roads suitable for both walking and cycling (adult bikes are provided). The wildlife is fantastic with large birds of prey and deer just two of the regular sightings near the gite. The pool is great. The gite is very well and thoughtfully equipped - it's the first time we've ever stayed in a gite and not missed any utensil or gadget! Everything we needed was to hand. If I had to pick one advantage above all others for La Coyere it would have to be the location - it is very well situated and a huge variety of entertainments, activities, villages, towns and even cities (e.g. Anger, Tour) are nearby. In a very full two weeks we only scratched the surface and we never drove more than 35 minutes from the Gite. If you are into wine then La Coyere is on the doorstep of the Bourgueil, Bourgueil-St-Nicolas and Samur wine regions with many vineyeards within easy reach. Only 4-5 hours from the NW coast makes it an easy drive from the main ferry ports to the UK and Ireland. The owners chose wisely with La Coyere and have clearly worked hard to deliver something that is a bit special - they've succeeded. How much did we like it? So much that we are giving very serious consideration to returning again next Summer.

“Accomodation at its very best in France” Our welcome was so warm and friendly and it set the tone for a superb holiday. The owners provided a first class meal on the first night and last night at a very reasonable cost and it was served in their private accomodation with lots of local wine! The accomodation, we had both the cottage and wine store, was very comfortable, well kitted out and served as a first class base for our travels around the local area. The splendid gardens provided a haven of rest after a day out and we had many a snifter on the terraces. There is a fine swimming pool in the grounds but I didn't use it as it was a little cold for me, but, I am a wimp and the other five in our party all enjoyed a swim. The undercover Boules pitch was a great diversion despite my losing every match. The local village, just a couple of miles away has a petrol station and small supermarket with friendly, English speaking little shops and a market. In short, I can thoroughly reccomend La Coyer to anyone wishing to take a holiday in the area.

“One of the best Gites we have used” Stayed at the larger of the two gites that are on this site. It was immaculately presented. The main bedroom was superb and the rest of the furnishings were excellent. Set in a large area of grounds with an excellent pool it proved to be a good base for exploring the Loire. Do sample Claires cooking, its excellent, and also take the wine tour, which again is good value. There is also an excellent rural french restaurant in walking distance. Charming hosts (lovely spaniel called Jack), good food, lovely setting and comfortable accomodation. What more could we ask for. Can't fault it, and we have used Gites for our main holiday for some 15 years now. Response: We appreciate your kind comments and look forward to seeing you in the future.

“Nicely appointed Gites in a rural location with friendly attentive hosts” We did a 3 night break with 4 friends and so used both Gites. Our hosts arranged an itinerary for us to suit our needs including wine tastings and visits to local markets/chateaus. Our break included breakfast each morning (wonderfully cooked and different each day) and one nights evening meal (restaurant standard). Our hosts also recommended a couple of local restaurants which turned out to be lovely - and they took us there and brought us back. A lovely weekend was had by all - we can't wait to go back.
