After braking down on the way there, Lancashire our hostess sorted all our ongoing travel arrangements. The property is amazing and just far enough from the shops to be very convenient but also quiet. Our hosts couldn't have been any better and I'd recommend staying here 190%. Many thanks Laurence.

Property was in a lovely location. A little difficult to find the exact property as it was in a setting with 3 other properties, but we were directed to the appropriate cottage by a neighbour. Lovely garden areas with views of horses, donkeys and vineyards . The chickens wondering around was lovely to see and we were treated to some freshly laid eggs. Cottage was well equipped. We wanted a peaceful getaway, so having no English tv channels on the only tv that was located in a bedroom did not pose any issues. A little disappointed that the freezer was broken and that there was only a parasol base, no parasol when we were fortunate to have such hot weather. The indoor pool was an added bonus, although it was difficult to get in and out of safely, so didn’t really use. The beds were uncomfortable and the towels and linen could have been higher quality, would happily pay more for these improvements. Overall we had a good holiday.

We were greeted by Marie (neighbour/housekeeper) upon our arrival and she showed us around the property. The gite is lovely and is what you expect for its location with horses, sheep and some very comical chickens making it an ideal base to explore the Loire region.The inside pool area was welcoming on a hot day as the water was cool despite the actual pool area feeling humid. The one thing we did miss was shade. There was a parasol base but no parasol. This was questioned with the host and she informed us that the parasol had broken and a sail was due to be installed outside the main bedroom area but this did not happen during our stay.

We have had a really nice week. Me and my partner and our two dogs. The fireplace was a real bonus. There was a spacious kitchen with all the facilities and plenty of dishes; we didn’t miss anything. It was a beautiful property where you could enjoy lovely walks. From the house, you could see the horses and donkeys.

Ideal peaceful setting with the best sunsets!

Lovely hosts. The accomodation is well set out, encouraging you to relax and soak up the beautiful setting. Our daughters loved the horses and we made good use of the indoor pool. Sunsets every evening were beautiful.

Relaxing week in the Loire valley

This is a beautiful gite in the French countryside. Surrounded by vineyards, horses and a few chickens. We took it easy this week enjoying the views for art, pool for the kids and walks to the local town for baguettes and wine. The owners were very accommodating and helped made our stay one to remember.

We enjoyed our stay in Oree D'anjou tremendously (July 2026). The gite and surrounding space was perfect for the two of us and our dog. I would say the photographs don't really do the accommodation justice. Everything was clean and everything was efficient. Laurence and Marie-Odile took care of us. We particularly enjoyed how relaxed things were: no fuss and no unnecessary rules. We were free to wander around the estate - which is significant, through the vineyards, the park and fields. The animals were a joy to watch and to interact with. There are several good dog walks in the immediate vicinity. The pool was especially welcoming in the hot weather. Only negative - I think the property is advertised with a car port, which is a barn. Unless you don't mind pigeon droppings on your car, avoid parking there.

Bliss in Loire!

I read another review which called this place a hidden gem. This couldn’t be more true, in fact that name under sells this wonderful and peaceful home deep in the Loire Valley. Your host is very welcoming and makes things very easy. The accommodation is outstanding. Try to keep it a secret though!

Super Gite

Great property in a rural location. Couldn't ask for more. The pool was a real bonus in the hot weather. The ensuites were very modern and all the rooms well appointed. The sunsets were spectacular. We had lovely fresh eggs from the next door neighbour. Would highly recommend this property.

A very enjoyable break

A wonderful gite in the middle of the Loire Valley. Daily swimming, breakfast on the patio watching the chickens and horses grazing in the fields.Super days out to Terra Botanica near Angers and Nantes has so much to see if you follow the green tourist line round the town. Ancenis had some great little restaurants too. Many thanks to Marie for welcoming us and being patient with me practising my French. Thank you also to Laurence who made us feel very welcome. We will be back soon. Thank you Best wishes Kevin and Carolyne

Peaceful perfection

What a fantastic holiday we've just had. The booking process and subsequent communication with Laurence, the owner, was spot on. We were warmly greeted on our arrival. The gite itself is incredible. The facilities are above and beyond the description. The indoor pool was soo inviting. We ate well, slept well and thoroughly enjoyed the peace and tranquility. The sunsets were to die for. We would certainly like to return one day, hopefully next year.

third stay - that says it all

This was the 3rd time we stayed in this very nice house. My wife and I enjoyed it very much. The children especially loved the pool and the horses. For children, it is perhaps a bit of a downer that there is not much to do in the immediate vicinity. That is, you always have to drive a few kilometres to keep the children entertained. The Natural'Parc in Nantes and Le Jardin Des Kangourous near Angers come highly recommended. We will certainly be back :-)

We were greeted by the next door neighbour who deputises for Mme De Lamothe if she is away temporarily. She gave us a very thorough tour of the property and explained how everything worked. The property is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. When we tried it the pool was at the perfect temperature and the beds were very comfortable. There was no problem having the dog there and she enjoyed her walks near the property. The outstanding feature of the gite were the 2 bathrooms which were magnificent, beautifully decorated and very well equipped. We had a wonderful time and it was a pleasure to meet and chat with Mme De Lamoth. The nearby town of Ancenis is 10 mins away and boasts a brand new Leclerc supermarket chock full of delicious food. Do not forget to get some carrots as treats for the donkeys and ponies in the field next to the gite. We can't wait to go back.

D'Anjou Delight

We enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere and stunning views that the property offered. With 3 patios and spacious grounds there were plenty of vistas to view whilst al fresco dining, including the often mentioned impressive sunsets and the entertaining horses, ponies and chickens. Marie-Odeil & Laurence were very helpful throughout our stay. Thankyou both. The accommodation, including the indoor pool & kitchen, were perfect for our weeks stay. The gite is well positioned to take in the beautiful villages along The Loire. Ancenis is close by for all your grocery needs but Lire, Ouden, Champtoceaux & Saint Florent le Vieil offer great opportunities for a coffee, a drink or a wander. Ancenis also offers direct train service to Nantes, taking less than 20 mins, to enable you to experience the many attractions this city has. Overall, the peace and quiet and great hospitality ensured we had a wonderful time.

A little retreat

Greeted by Marie lovely lady who we had a laugh with even though her english was as limited as our french. The property was a tranquil bliss. The property was spacious and of agood standard, it is in need of a redecoration in the near future as there was damp patches appearing on some of the walls and was starting to look tired in areas. Both bathrooms were of an excellent standard and look like new fits. The beds were not to my liking but i did get an ok sleep on them. The outside space was ample for entertaining and one area led on to the pool, which was a god send in the heat...look its not perfect but would i recommend...yes definitely beautiful little retreat to watch the sunsets with my soppy fiance... i would recommend

Wonderful short holiday

After the welcome by the very nice, helpful and English-speaking landlady and a short tour of the house and the indoor pool, we could swim right away. Approx. 6x6m is also enough for a bit of serious swimming. With the morning view of the vineyard, the ponies and in-house chickens were not far away. In the open plan living room with dining and cooking area we found everything important, clean and tidy. The washer-dryer was functional and clean, so we came home with almost completely clean clothes. There is a small supermarket in the village, which has fresh fruit and vegetables as well as a butcher. The kangaroo garden, about 45 minutes away, is recommended. All in all, a really nice stay that makes you want "more". We would also like to make a special mention of the neighbour who helped us in word and deed during the absence of the landlords. Thank you very much for this wonderful short holiday!

Great quality gite in an excellent setting

Gite is a traditional outbuilding which has an excellent quality renovation with a pool in what was a barn. It's set amongst vineyards on gently rolling hills which make it such a peaceful, idyllic place. The owner (Laurence) was there to welcome us and explain the detail. Very well equipped with more than enough of everything even if you were up to capacity. You are free to wander around the large estate that surrounds her imposing Manoir. There are a variety of horses/ponies who are fenced off and adorable. There are also about 8 free range hens and a pot bellied pig. All quiet, paeceful and don't bother you at all - although some of the chickens may appear frrom nowhere if you rattle packaging whilst on one of the patios, but this only adds to the simple pleasure of the experience here. Never been to a gite with an indoor pool before but it provides an excellent way to cool down whilst not risking sunburn! We may well be back.

The property was lovely with a lovely open plan living area, two comfortable bedrooms with en-suites and a fantastic indoor swimming pool. The pictures of the swimming pool do not it justice as it is larger in person and while it is an indoor pool, with the large glass windows and doors that open onto the sunny terrace it feels just like an outdoor pool. The property is surrounded by horse paddocks and vineyards with a lovely view of the sun setting in the evenings. While there is not much in Liré or Ancenis, the property is within easy driving distance of Nantes and Angers and just over a hour from the Atlantic coast, so plenty to see and do. Would definitely recommend and will hopefully go back.
