What a cute hidden gem in a gorgeous sleepy village. This property has everything you need.The village itself is very quiet, but a large town with hypermarkets is only a 10 min drive away. We enjoyed walking around the village park in the evenings.The house has 3 generous sized bedrooms, a large modern shower and superfast internet. We thank the hosts for a trouble and hassle free stay.

Une semaine Ă  Gy en Sologne

heureusement que nous ne sommes pas des inconditionnels de la tĂ©lĂ©, car celle de cette location n’offrait que 11 chaĂźnes , ni la 1 la 2 la 3 la 26 et bien d’autres que nous regardons chez nous. Les journĂ©es Ă©taient bien occupĂ©es et il y avait la 18 pour les enfants. Il serait bon que l’annonce prĂ©vienne que l’escalier qui donne accĂšs Ă  l’étage est relativement dangereux (nous sommes 3 Ă  avoir fait une chute en le descendant dont moi qui ai 77 ans. Plus de peur que de mal) L’accĂšs Ă  la chambre de droite Ă  l’étage comporte une marche d’environ 25 cm, elle Ă©tait occupĂ©e par 2 enfants et la nuit, si on doit se rendre aux toilettes qui sont sur le palier, il y a la aussi risque de chute. La maison Ă©tant situĂ©e au carrefour principal du village, il y a pas mal de circulation, mais cela reste acceptable la nuit, mĂȘme si on est habituĂ© Ă  plus de calme. La terrasse cĂŽtĂ© cour est trĂšs calme. Pour quelques jours cette location est correcte .

Maison trĂšs pratique

La maison est bien situĂ©e et malgrĂ© qu’elle soit en plein centre du village c’est trĂšs calme. Elle est trĂšs pratique car les propriĂ©taires ont pensĂ© Ă  tout afin de ne manquer de rien. Le seul bĂ©mol ça a Ă©tĂ© la poussiĂšre qui apparemment n’avait pas Ă©tĂ© faite et la literie sentait le renfermĂ© ce qui nous a dĂ©rangĂ© car nous sommes allergiques aux acariens. Sinon c’est une maison trĂšs familiale et grande et les propriĂ©taires rĂ©pondent rapidement. Le voisin est venu nous montrer comment fonctionnait le chauffage et il a Ă©tĂ© trĂšs sympa aussi.

Comfortable holiday gite

We spent two weeks in this well equipped, comfortable holiday house in a very quiet and unspoilt country village. The rooms are spacious and comfortably furnished. There is no garden but there is a patio with roll out awning. It was so hot while we were there we hardly sat out on it. Great area for cycling & trying to learn French - no English spoken but nevertheless kind people all around.

About the host

Hosted by Stuart and Gillian Maiden

Host profile image
Hello, we are Stuart and Gillian Maiden. This is us enjoying refreshments in front of the Maison du Magique in Blois. We recommend taking some time to rest here on your visit to Blois and enjoy the chateau views and life passing by. Oh yes and from around Easter an additional surprise!

Why they chose this property

We discovered we'd both loved France from an early age starting from French exchanges whilst a secondary schools. Gillian made life long friends in Vero and Olivier during her exchanges and it was because they lived in this area that we decided to buy our second home here. Vero was very supportive and scouted out loads of houses for us to view. In addition to the number of rooms we were looking for a renovated house in a small village near a boulangerie. We had begun to despair on the French understanding of renovated. Had we translated the wrong word?! Nothing had been quite right.
However, we knew when we parked in the village square of Gy en Sologne that we'd found the right place. We were almost shown separately around the cottage between the owner's son and the estate agent and met up in the courtyard smiling. Neither of us had to say anything. We knew this was the one! Then we were told there was more! And on that hot afternoon we walked to the edge of the village to see the allotment, field and wood that came with it.

What makes this property unique

When we bought the cottage one of the three doors at the top of the stairs opened into the roof with a low beam. This gave us the chance to add a bit of ourselves and the beam was raised and our lovely master bedroom created.

In addition to the cottage being within easy reach of our friends it has allowed us to make new friends in the village too. We enjoy just being there, Stuart enjoys cutting timber in the wood and Gillian now has her own tractor to 'cut the grass'. Our local Explorer Scouts in England come over and camp 'au nature' in the field.

When we can we enjoy village events such as the Fete de la Garde, a festival which celebrates the local hunting . We enjoy the easy walking around the area through woodlands and by the etangs (ponds) for which the region is well known. There's plenty to see in the area too. We still haven't exhausted the magnificent chateaux and local markets. The terrace is a true sun trap but in the late spring and summer you don't need to go too far to find an outdoor pool - we particularly like the one at St. Aignan. All year round in the evening it's lovely to eat outside and enjoy the stars. The village street lights switch off just before eleven pm, so the stars are brilliant and well worth a midnight walk on a clear night! If it's too cold though relaxing by the log fire is also a must. Living next door to Gy Suis Gy Reste is a real bonus. The restaurant is well worth a visit for regional home cooked food at lunchtime or to pop in for aperitif before an evening meal at home.
