17/09 to 24/09/2011

We have loved this spacious, 'homey' comfortable place. Also the area is so lovely - enjoyed Chinon, Chenonceau and Azay le Rideau plus visiting many local towns and markets. Thank you so much to you Jim & Pauline, for being here on our late arrival, for the food and drinks here, for your suggestions and wonderful hospitality. Hopefully we will return.

Two weeks flew by - markets, lunches at restaurants, croissants for breakfast. The butcher and grocer in town filled in the gaps. Jim & Pauline's advice in 'book' and in person was  invaluable...   A beautiful area with much history. House had all amenities and so much space.

Having returned for our second visit we were not disappointed and have had another wonderful holiday. We will be back. Thanks Pauline & Jim as ever - wonderful hosts, a bientot!

For anyone thinking of coming with friends or grandparents, family etc. the 'little house' works really well as a 'refuge' *In-laws stayed there and had their own space- worked a treat.

Thanks for a wonderful stay Pauline & Jim and also for your good advice. Chenonceau and Grand Ma's ( in Le Grand Pressigny) were excellent but dinner at 'La Promenade' in Petit Pressigny was the highlight - a must if you appreciate fine dining, Best wishes for your future ventures ,

Wonderful house and amazing things to do and see. We especially enjoyed the museum at Le Grand Pressigny. Very fortunate to be in the village for the music festival. Thanks Jim & Pauline for the lovely welcome and good suggestions.

This was our second visit. After you have done a day of travelling through the lovely countryside, visiting chateaux and wine tasting ,it is wonderful to come home to this peaceful quiet space; our 'home away from home'. Gods many blessings on all who visit within these walls.

Lovely place to stay - loved the village, definitely recommend the crème brulée across the road at the restaurant. Loved the market at Descartes. We visited the chateaux at Chenonceau, Chambord and Villandry - Chenonceau was definitely the best although the gardens at Villandry were beautiful.

Had everything we needed here and couldn't hope for a better place to stay - we hope to be back - thank you!

We stayed in Le Bourg for two nights after a prolonged internet search. We found most accommodation had a 7 day minimum stay. Jim and Pauline kindly responded allowing us 2 nights stay.
We found them to be extremely helpful sending us directions, a driving in France document and allowed us to pay only when we arrived.
A fire already made and the house was warm. The house was just what we had hoped for and more.
We were shown a lovely restaurant across the road and Jim and Pauline let me follow them to the local supermarket. They also told us of an amazing market in Descartes.
I highly recommend Loire Valley Experience and Jim and Pauline. The Loire is exceptionally beautiful and I only wish we could have stayed longer.
