Spacious and comfortable 3-bedroom 4* gite in woodland location
Located just outside Mouliherne in the Pays de la Loire, 25 min from Saumur, completely surrounded by woodland, offering secluded, comfortable, spacious, well-equipped and relaxing accommodation for your holiday. The property is full of wildlife, including deer, elusive pine martens, dormice, hares, wild boar (in the area), lizards and bats. Over 50 species of birds have been seen or heard around the property, including golden orioles, hoopoes, kestrels and buzzards.
Within easy reach of the wonderful Chateaux and vineyards of the Loire valley, as well as 2 superb zoos and the world-famous French National Riding School. Golf, water sports, fishing, hiking, walking and cycling are all close by. The larger towns of Tours and Angers are an easy 45-minute drive away, and we are ideally situated for the equestrian competitions and the Cadre Noir at Saumur, the events at Le Mans and Futuroscope at Poitiers.
The gîte is Meublé de Tourisme 4* rated, and is the oldest part of the property, thought to have been built around 1700. It features exposed beams throughout, many of which are original. The ceilings on the ground floor are high, but some of the beams on the first floor are quite low. Taller guests may need to mind their heads!
Ground floor: Spacious living room with comfortable leather seating, TV with UK Freesat & French terrestrial channels, Blu-ray DVD player and CD player; large, fully equipped kitchen with dining area; double bedroom with King-size bed, ensuite shower, WC and washbasin. The ground floor features wide, wheelchair-friendly doorways. For autumn and winter breaks, there are thermostatically controlled radiators in all rooms, plus a 10kW Godin wood burner in the lounge. The weekly tariff includes electricity for the radiators plus logs for the wood burner.
First floor: Large double bedroom with Superking bed; twin bedroom; family shower room with WC and wash basin.
All beds are 2m long, and all can be configured as doubles or twins.
A full-size cot (60cm x 120cm) and high chair are available on request (no extra charge). Note that we do not supply bed linen for the cot.
Outside is a large private garden (about ¼ acre), with a covered patio, garden furniture and a Weber BBQ, surrounded by wire mesh fencing for the security of young children and/or animals. There is plenty of parking space, including a covered barn if required.
Sorry, but the property is strictly non-smoking.
