From the owner

La Laiterie, at our property Le Bouchet, is a superb and well equipped gîte that comfortably accommodates ten people and provides all that you need to really enjoy your holiday.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms: a large double bedroom, a very large bedroom with four single beds and a bedroom with two single beds, all with air conditioning units. There is a large family sized bathroom with shower, toilet and heater.

Downstairs there is another double bedroom, bathroom with shower cubicle, bath, toilet and heater and a utility room with a toilet and washing machine. The kitchen is very well equipped and is open plan onto the dining and lounge areas which comfortably seat ten people and has UK and French satellite TV.

There are French doors from the lounge which open out onto your own large, south facing private garden which is fenced. This provides the ideal spot for resting and relaxing with a barbecue, sun loungers, table and chairs and pergola to ensure you make the most of your stay at La Laiterie. From your garden you have access to the heated pool and children's play area set in the beautiful gardens at our property Le Bouchet.

Le Bouchet is close to some of the most beautiful and impressive chateaux, such as Chenonceau and the captivating Villandry, and is the ideal location for your holiday, whether you want to relax by your heated pool or go out to discover all of what our wonderful region has to offer.

With the historic towns of Loches, Tours and Poitiers and the fantastic Futuroscope amusement park, all within easy reach, you are bound to find plenty to see and do for all ages.

A couple of minutes away from your gîte is the small town of Descartes which has restaurants and bars and can provide for all your needs with supermarkets, chemists, butchers, bakeries and a Sunday market selling everything, from fish to flowers!

For the more active amongst you there is a water park, canoeing, golf, horse riding, sailing, horse racing locally and birdwatching in the Brenne National Park.
