The Loire Valley / Cher region

It is said that “The Loire is a Queen and Kings have loved her”. Indeed the Loire has been the home of Kings since the 10th century. From the Middle Ages through the Renaissance, the Kings and Queens of the Loire Valley championed intellectual and artistic creation. The result is an endowment of accomplishments for all time in the arts and literature, as well as extraordinary examples of magnificent architecture and landscaping.

Guestbook for The Barn
"Just a quick note to say thank you for a lovely week in your gite, the place is idyllic and we hope to return soon!! Shelley Dale and Family"
"Our first experience of a French gite for a holiday and The Barn is well worth the visit. Recently renovated it has all you want for a self-contained holiday, spacious comfortable rooms with all the mod-cons. A beautiful pool area, games room and a large expanse of garden provide space for you to relax and enjoy the locality. Villages are just a short drive away with supermarkets, bakeries, weekly markets and the rest. The motorway is 10 minutes drive for access to the region and the roads are not busy! We will certainly visit The Barn again and enjoy the welcome from your hosts, Richard, Debbie and family. Stuart and Jill Tillotson, West Yorkshire”
" La Coudre is a wonderful place to spend your holiday in France. It has everything you need for a family holiday - large well equipped and beautifully decorated rooms with a great 'home' feel. It was far more comfortable than what we would have expected from a Gite. The renovated Longere has all the mod cons, large new bathroom, large kitchen/dining area, really comfy living room and a separate utility room. A real plus was the large garden perfect for little ones to run around in and for enjoying BBQs and wine in the evenings. The Games room is also great. It is an idyllic spot for relaxation and to get away from it all. Its also ideal as a base for exploring The Loire area. The location means that it is very quiet and peaceful but access to places of interest such as the Wine areas, Castles and the Zoo which are all within a reasonable drive. The welcome from your hosts Debbie and Richard is first class and they endeavour to do all they can to ensure your stay is nothing but the best. We had a truly fabulous holiday and can highly recommend to anyone looking for a bit of a retreat. We just wished we could live there too! Michelle & Gus Goodwin, West Sussex
