Saint-Hilaire-de-Court holiday lettings

The property was amazing and the listing doesn’t do it justice. We just had a 2 night stay on our way down to the south of France, with 2 young children. Laurence and Jean Marc were so amazing and catering for young kids. Our boys are still talking about the cats and rabbits. Thank you so much….we’ll be back!!

Really good gite, everything clean and well renovated. Everything provided.

We were looking for a quiet country break and that’s exactly what we got! The gite was well equipped, clean and spacious. It was also in a part of France which we had only ever driven through so it was lovely to spend a week there. I would highly recommend this holiday gite.

Like all the best holiday rentals, this charming property was a family home, which had belonged to the owner's mother and had been lovingly and stylishly redecorated by the current owner with some lovely pieces from brocantes. The pictures don't really do justice to the property; it has a great, relaxing energy. The new fitted kitchen was attractive and functional and we enjoyed family meals at the table in the garden. We were blessed with perfect weather during our week in May and so were able to enjoy the large garden which slopes gently down to the river Cher, which can be accessed from the garden. Due the wet spring the river was a bit too high and fast for us to use the canoes but we did swim and paddle board. The property is in a quiet hamlet with good boulangeries 5 minutes' drive away in Foecy and Quincy. The nearby town of Mehun-sur-Yevre is charming and has restaurants, bars, cafe, butcher, boulanger and a good little weekly food market. There is also an Intermarche supermarket and a Lidl where you can get anything you need. Although there are fewer restaurants than in the more touristy areas of the Loire valley there are still plenty of good places to eat and we enjoyed a very creative and special meal at a nearby restaurant recommended by the property owner which is run by a Japanese couple. The property is a great base from which to explore this lovely region or to relax in the lovely surroundings of the house. The owner is helpful and responsive. Recommended!

The house is beautiful with very good fittings and furniture. Set well away from other properties the wildlife is wonderful to see. The lake is very good for a short walk and for fishing if required. Alain is a very helpful host, we had a wet week, but still managed to enjoy ourselves.
