Fresnay-l'Évêque holiday lettings

Cottage very well refurbished, clean, bright and convenient. Quite location part of a farm. To manage expectations, some 25min Drive from Chartres. But great for relaxing, visiting nearby farms and villages. Chantal was very warm and suggested some nice activities nearby.

We had a wonderful holiday staying in this really lovely gite. Very rural and quiet location, but close enough to great places to visit by car like Chartres and Orlèans. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming on arrival, but also gave us complete privacy during our stay. The gite itself ,while being completely authentic with wooden beams and creaky floorboards, also had great amenities like 2 bathrooms, and very good broadband/Wi-Fi. I would definitely recommend this gite to anyone considering booking, and we hope to be lucky enough to return ourselves one day. Colin.

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.
