Character House in Haut Anjou

A great stay for 3 generations of our family in this historic house. We had good weather and loved the garden and pool, but also the convenience of the location. An easy walk to the nearby lake for swimming/kayaks etc. bakery is opposite and short drive to supermarket. Market up the road for food on a Thursday morning. House is spacious and stays cool even in hot weather. Might be worth knowing one bedroom is only accessible through another bedroom or the bathroom, but this wasn’t a problem for us. Definitely recommended.

The house was absolutely beautiful, lots of space and furnished well with plenty of cooking equipment etc. Jacques could not have been more helpful, even organising us an extra nights accommodation when EasyJet moved our flights by a day! The village is really pretty in easy walking distance to two lakes however, it was extremely quiet, only 1 restaurant was open at the end of July/beginning of August. I would recommend you do hire a car if you stay here.

We had a really lovely two weeks at this property in August, it was more spacious than we thought it would be, the bedrooms were big, bright and airy. The outside space was much bigger than we thought, our children absolutely loved having the swings to play on as well as the really lovely pool which gets the sun pretty much all day into evening. Next to the pool, is actually a pool house with seating, a football table and a disco light! We loved sitting up there in the evenings with all the lights on surrounding the garden and pool. Also, not pictured, was a large shade sail - this was absolutely brilliant for the kids and baby as created much needed shade on the patio area. We were very surprised to find a hot tub outside shower room and little gym as well! The kitchen was very well equipped although we felt a BBQ would have been a great addition to outside- there is a gas fired grill plate however. The town itself was very quiet, not many shops were open but there was a super market less than 5 mins drive away and much bigger ones 15 mins away in chateaubriand. Sadly no restaurants to eat out in but you can get takeaway pizza and kebabs and there was a small cafe open intermittently. Every Thursday there was a small market which served excellent produce including fish. The town is situated perfectly to get out and about on the main route down to Angers- Terra Botanica is a must with children and adults alike- very beautiful and relaxing! There is a lake literally down the road from the property where you can swim and hire out kayaks and paddle boards as well as have an inflatable obstacle course! The property host was very friendly and helpful and when wasn’t available he had an extremely helpful contact where nothing was too much problem at all. All in all, we had a great time and was just what we needed as a family of 5 with three children under the age of six ( the tv had Netflix and Disney + accessible for those times of need !!!) the grandparents loved the shady trees to relax under and the rest of the family who came were also happy with everything there was in offer! Thank you so much for our stay !
