We have just returned from a fantastic family holiday in the Manor House, with a peaceful location and great swimming pool, its certainly 5* level.
Parts of the building date back to the 15thC, and have been updated throughout to UK 5* bathroom levels.
The location is very peaceful, a couple of miles from the nearest bakery or bar, with large supermarkets around 5 miles. Madam de Goulaine was great, and English speaking, which does help.
Le Mans is a short and easy drive of around 12 mins, a medievil city with a great combination of old and new - everything you need . . . . . and don't forget about the 24hr Race Track!
We would also recommend Le Fleche Zoo, about 30 mins drive.
We hope to return again.
