Châtillon-le-Roi holiday lettings

This is a very comfortable and spacious house adjacent to a working farm and sited a little off the usual beaten track. In no way should that be taken as a negative comment - the welcome from M. and Mme Chenu was warm and comprehensive and I have to say I was barely aware of the daily work of the farm - no extra noise or disturbance at all. We had a private garden with sunshine from early morning to late afternoon and a private drive for parking. The house is comforable and clean with all the expected amenities. The nearest town is Pithiviers, about 11Km south. It seems not to be on the UK tourist destination list, but so much the better for this. There is lots to do and see within a hour’s drive - Fontainebleau is a popular destination, but Briare and Gien and the arboretum near Chamerolles are all worth seeing, and Orléans was only 50 minutes by road. Definitely recommended!

We were 12 guests, 6 adults and 6 children. The bedrooms all en-suite were comfortable and apart from one king size room all doubles split into two singles which was a welcome bonus for the girls. We spent the majority of our time exploring the woods, playing tennis and swimming (great pool house too). There’s a great bakery 10 mins away for fresh bread and supermarkets about the same. Lots of chateaux to visit in area and Orleans well worth a visit which is beautiful. Kitchen a little on the small side but we spent most of our time outside so that did not impact on our enjoyment. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for space, time out and tennis! The court was used constantly! Thank you Sophie

We had an amazing time in this Gîte. We had 2 young kids (11 and 9) who loved the pool. We were there for harvest season and Jean Michel took our son out on the combine harvester ...... a highlight of the trip for him. The Gîte is lovely - rustic with modern touches and was immaculate. The area is brilliant - plenty of local amenities and a perfect base to explore. Martine and Jean Michel were perfect hosts. We would definitely stay again - thank you for the wonderful memories

We had a fabulous two-week holiday in this cottage. Claude and Marie-France are very generous, thoughtful hosts and gave us a warm welcome. Everything you might need for a self-catering holiday is provided. At ground floor level: a modern bathroom and washing machine, kitchen with oven and hob, fridge-freezer and all the cooking/dining equipment you might expect, along with dining table and chairs for four. A lounge area with comfortable sofa if you wish to spend time indoors - watch tv/read/play games etc., and also a built-in cupboard for hanging clothes. Good wifi connection was also appreciated. Steps lead up to the mezzanine with very comfortable double bed, bedside table and ottoman for clothes storage. Outside is a table and 4 chairs for outside relaxation and dining, either on the lawn with beautiful weeping-willow tree, or on the white-pebble patio with stone barbecue - lots of outside space so you can move round with the sun! We visited many stunning chateaux and towns on La Loire, between Blois to the West and Sully-sur-Loire to the East - all comfortable day-trips. Away from the river, Chartres is unmissable, but also recommend Dourdan and Yevre la Chatel. Loved the steam-train ride from Pithiviers which operates on Sundays! Countryside surrounding the cottage is quiet and fairly flat, ideal for cyclists (which we are not!) and walkers (with an ageing dog, which we are!!) We would not hesitate to recommend this holiday accommodation and would love to return one day.
