Village location. Private enclosed orchard garden

The property was in a great location for our break, close to some lovely towns and in a good place to explore some of the wonderful Chateau of the Cher and Loire.

The house itself was clean and satisfactory for our needs, with all the equipment you could need. Steve was an excellent host and looked after us well. We enjoyed our first evening when he kindly shared a bottle or two with us.

Our one observation would be that it is now sadly looking tired, particularly the garden and garden furniture which was a disappointment.

With a little more TLC it would have been lovely.

Great weather loved the garden the house and the area. Lots of places to visit the castles the zoo and the towns.

Our family of six (two adults and four children ages 7, 9, 13, and 16) enjoyed a four night stay in this lovely 19th centuray cottage in Verennes-sur-Fouzon. It was ideally located for exploration from a welcoming home base. Just as described, the cozy and clean cottage, with two bedrooms, a lounge room, and a large comfortable kitchen with everything one might need to prepare and serve a meal, was situated in a gorgeous enclosed garden in the heart of the Loire. We dined outside on several occasions and the children enjoyed passing the football to and fro every evening. We also enjoyed watching the Euro 2016 on the television with English commentary! A large supermarket was only minutes up the road in the town of Chabris.

Steve, the very gracious host, warmly welcomed us on the first night with a bottle of wine from the region and great advice on sights to see in the area. It was easy to drive to Amboise, Blois, Chenonceaux, and environs to explore castles and towns. Our family's favorite sights were the Clos Lucé and the Château de Chenonceau. We also enjoyed the Zoo-Parc de Beauval and canoeing on the Cher (canoe-company.fr). Steve is an excellent host and we would recommend this property to anyone wishing to have a relaxing home away from home from which to explore the area by car. Thank you, Steve, for making our stay so memorable - we hope to see you again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage, it was very clean, well maintained and well equipped. The garden was as ,described, well kept and secure, all in all a true home from home. The property is set in a delightful and quiet village with a well stocked supermarket only a few minutes down the road. Unfortunately the baker in the village had recently closed down, but it is hoped that it will open again in the near future, however this did not cause us any problems. There is a very friendly bar in the village that is open all day closing early evening, local cuisine is available there at lunch time.

Steve, the owner and his wife (who was away when we were there) live next door and he made us very welcome and was always extremely helpful and friendly, very knowledgeable about the village and surrounding area and where to visit - including the best vineyards. He really helped to make our holiday complete.

We would thoroughly recommend the property for a quiet and restful holiday for walking and exploring the surrounding area.

Thank you Steve.
