Cottage View Loire in Amboise

We had a very enjoyable stay here on the outskirts of Amboise. As other visitors have said it is very handy to have Netto over the road, a Boulangerie about 5 minutes away and the Market almost at the end of the garden twice a week.

We enjoyed walking by the river into Town and to the Da Vinci house and exhibition. The Restaurant Manureva down the street was good value and quality for lunch and dinner.

Jen-Loic took great care to make sure we had arrived safely and went to the trouble of delivering a kettle for the English to make tea. We particularly liked using the outdoor covered seating area for meals and relaxing in the garden on the recliners.

The equipment and features in the house left us with nothing to comment on. Everything you could want in white goods and kitchen equipment is there.

For cyclists the Loire Route is at the end of the garden and we used it to walk to the next village as well as into town by the river.

The house was very comfortably arranged with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms;2 upstairs and one on ground floor. Very well appointed with nice garden and covered sitting/eating area. Access to the Loire tow path through gate at bottom of the garden. Table tennis and BBQ available in shed.

The town was within 10 minutes walking;2 markets,Sunday and Friday ;There was a patisserie and Netto supermarket very close.and 3 chateaux;Amboise,Clos Luce and Gaillard all walkable distances in Amboise.

Other chateaux;Chennonceau,Chambord,Villandry easy driving disatnces.

A great week.

Well-equipped and comfortable cottage. The three ensuites were a bonus - not often we have found that with French properties. Good garden with table and chairs for outside eating. We were fortunate to hit a beautiful spell of weather and had all our meals in the garden. There is a good deal to see in Amboise and the property is close enough to the town to walk in. It's even closer to the market which consisted of a large one on Sunday and a smaller local type one on Friday. Both were good but we thought the Friday one was one of the best we have found in France. Good supermarket just across the road was a real boon. There is also an excellent Boulangerie just along the road.

Great holiday home with a real French feel, a short walk to the local town and a weekend market just round the corner. Also very close to a swimming pool for the children. The house has all the French charm and all you will need for a great holiday.

This is a traditional little French house which has been modernised simply and sympathetically. The kitchen is nicely fitted and modern, as are the bathrooms. There is a wet room on the ground floor. The owner met us on arrival and was most helpful and friendly. He speaks good English. We enjoyed sitting out in the secluded garden which is at the rear, and where there is also secure off street parking. There is a lovely view of the Loire from an upstairs bedroom.

This property could hardly be more conveniently located. There is a small supermarket just across the street and also a petrol pump. Amboise itself is within easy walking distance. There is a lovely market in the town, and also a wide choice of restaurants. There are many chateaux and historic sites within a short driving distance.

We had a lovely stay in this simple holiday home.
