The ability to order breads for breakfast, was a delightful addition
Only extras we would wish would be wi fi in the main house ( ok in the barn) and a kettle in the barn for morning tea

This Gite entirely lived up to expectations. Two magnificent accommodation buildings with well equipped kitchens and living space surrounded by acres of grass and woods, with a good swimming pool. Isolated from others so noisy children were not a problem. Wonderful time playing rounders! Villages nearby were lovely and Montrichard was a super place for eating. River Cher provided canoeing under chateau of Chenanceau. Owners were welcoming, spoke English and very fair. Would gladly come again for another family celebration. Thanks Stephanie

Had a great stay, and would stay again. I would have liked the pool to have less bugs. Outdoor furniture could be a bit more comfortable. A few more amenities such as hand soap and more pillows would have made the stay more comfortable (we are Americans). David and Stephanie were both very nice and the take pride in the property.

We had a such a wonderful stay at Bizard, it is hard to say what we loved best about it.
The spaciousness and light of the main living floor was just superb and so well organized for any size group, large or small. The views out the windows from all positions to the expansive surroudning property, with the fields of green, the majestic trees, the impressive ruins nearby, and the towering sky, constantly drew the eye. Restful and yet energizing the same time.
Cooking and socializing the open kitch and dining table was perfect, and the space flows so well from there to the large but intimate sitting areas. We loved the easy access at either end to the second story living quarters, one via the siganture tower, and the ground floor bedroom at the far end was extremely convenient for anyone needing ground floor accomodation.
The upstairs bedrooms were all large and comfortable and the ensuites were updated and in pristine condition.
Walking the vast property was a delight, and a great relaxation and a break fror those for working while on travel.
So easy and quick access to the charming nearby villages, with great restaurants, shops, boulangeries/patisseries, fromagers, and so much more, several of them on the gorgeous Cher river. Blois is an easy drive and Tours a well, among other beautiful cities in the environs along the Loire and the Cher.
And I can't foget the daily bakery delivery - really terrific and not just your average at all!
We really cannot recommend the stay at Bizard too highly. Stephanie is a charming and friendly hostess, and her husband Mark is warm and friendly and there whenver needed. They have done a masterful job of rennovating a historic property into a extremely funcational modernized chateau, and the you get that feeling of a very friendly family property that happens to be avaiable with great privacy to those lucky guests who disover it in their travels.
And an incredible value as a well, I have to add. It is a tremendous value for the travel or relocation expense.
Overall for in a business relocation and as seasoned travelers, we have to say Bizard was absolutely oustanding for travel, touring, and doing business in the region. A peaceful, beautiful, and stimulating abode to base from while in the Loire et Cher!

Our extended family (12) celebrated Christmas this year at Bizard. I would say that while many places can squeeze in 12 people, few are set up as well as Bizard with the large number of bathrooms, excellent kitchen, dining and family room setups - it worked extremely well and everyone could be together while still allowing space to get away from the group = a great layout with the separate barn building and its own game/family room. And Stephanie was a gracious host who went out of her way to make sure all went well. The grounds are extensive for hiking and horseback riding ( there is a riding school right on the estate). One of my personal thrills was coming home one night and seeing a group of wild boar on the property.It is also a good location for touring the Loire and seeing all the Chateaux and towns. Stephanie was a big help in setting dinner reservations for 12, locally and advising us on wineries to visit and places to shop (all within easy range). All in all it was a Christmas to remember for the entire family and Stephanie and Bizard played a big role in that. I would strongly recommend it for a family or other larger group getaway.

A beautiful, big house consisting of 2 separate buildings in an isolated spot. In the main building was a very practical kitchen with a big dining room and a big living area. All the bedrooms were spacious and beautifully furnished. Good bathrooms and good water pressure. Everything was very clean. Clear directions from the owner to find the house. There were plenty of brochures at the house for visiting the surrounding area. Owner was very helpful in arranging restaurants.... Being the end of October the house was warm and easy to heat.

We had a fantastic week staying at Demeure de Bizard. The two buildings provide plenty of room for everyone, the bedrooms, kitchen/diner and living room are easily large enough for our group of 13. All the rooms were clean when we arrived. The setting is wonderfully isolated and quiet, but the local towns and cities are not too far away. The large pool is a real bonus.

We were a family of 14 plus a new baby and hoped we would find a place to spend time together and enjoy the Loire Valley. We were not disappointed, the house and adjacent barn were better than we had expected. Everything was clean and as described with everything you could need for a large group on holiday.
The owners of the house Stephanie and David did everything they could to make us feel welcome and even organised bread and crosaints to be delivered.
We also received helpful recommendations on places to visit.
We all found it very hard to leave Bizzard but we hope to return one day.
If you are considering this as a destination for your holiday, don't hesitate. It's a little bit of paradise

We were a party of two families, consisting of three generations; eleven adults, two babies and three dogs. Bizard is a beautifully maintained spacious house in the middle of peaceful countryside with only bird song to wake you.
We enjoyed long walks, bike rides and horse riding through the surrounding forrest and we enjoyed the swimming pool and fishing lakes.
David and Stephanie are wonderful hosts and a font of local knowledge . We would definitely recommend Bizard as a perfect holiday destination for any large family and hope to return sometime in the future.
