Très belle maison au Château. Piscine chauffée ... et chaude. 5 mn de Tours

We had such a lovely time at The Fairy House. It is self-contained and quiet and really like being a fairy tale with a brilliant, beautiful and unique house built into the rock/cave on one side which, as well as being, fun and different, kept it cool in the summer. The pool was brilliant and easy to access and get into and the location was close to Tours, the Cher, the Loire and many, many, many Chateaux. The information at the property for things to do was great and we were able to cook, rest, recuperate and explore brilliantly from there. On top of all of that, we couldn’t hope for a kinder and better host than Marie-Noelle. She was friendly, knowledgable, kind and helpful and made us feel so welcome there for a holiday. We had the best time.

The Stay far exceeded our expectations. From the moment I booked it communication was prompt, friendly and clear. Great directions to the property.We were met at property by Marie-Noelle who gave us the tour of the property and many great tips of things to do in the area and an unexpected treat for us in the kitchen.The house was spotless and bright and airy - beautiful stone work, wooden spiral staircase leading up to the spacious bedrooms on the 1st and 2nd floors each decorated thougthfullynote- the stairs may be difficult for those with mobility issues.Staying here felt like a step back in history. The house has everything you would need for cooking, laundry, and entertainment- with games and the TV.The porch and the heated pool were lovely.There is a path up and around the main house property which was great for a short work out and cool view. While the house was great what touched us most was how wonderful our host was. We are grateful to her for all her thougthfulness and help.

Our stay at Marie-Noëlle's was just perfect. We travelled with our two kids, aged 5 & 2, there was lots of beautiful outdoor space for them to play; plus the trampoline & all-weather pool which was more than we could have hoped for. She was so welcoming & had thought of everything for the kids - even a night light in their bedroom. A short car trip away, we could access everything we needed - boulangerie, supermarché, pharmacy etc. And we were a really short drive to the amazing city of Tours with all it has to offer. Marie-Noëlle helped us plan our time there - she let us know when the loacl food markets were, helped us organise a boat trip on Le Cher etc. Plus knew all the local things for kids: zoo, aquarium, mini-train etc. She even delivered us fresh pastries on our first morning! We had our own space plus designated outdoor area. It was a beautiful oasis of calm & it was a real wrench to leave after a week there. We would highly recommend & hope to return one day soon. Thank you, Marie-Noëlle!!!

As mentioned in other reviews the owners are very kind, friendly and helpful, fresh croissant and bread a welcome surprise some mornings. They are obviously very proud of the property and its renovations, but they are completely unaware of how their rental functions for a family. We found the property awkward and disjointed, cold and smelling of damp. The living room does not have enough space or comfy seats to relax in, the dining table is too large and dominates the room. The kitchen is small and basic, the kettle dangerously located on top of the fridge! There is no private outdoor space but a shared garden overlooked by the owners chateau, with the main driveway running through it. The pool is NOT private as listed but shared with other residents, and is a 150 meter walk away. The pool was not cleaned while we were there, with debris at the bottom. The stairs in the house are treacherous. Somewhere to hang clothes in the first floor bedroom would be useful, also the single bed in that room is not suitable to sleep on. Expensive for the accommodation provided.

We had a wonderful stay in this accommodation and would like to thank you very much. Not only was the house great, but the pool and beautiful surroundings made our holiday extra special. We would also like to emphasise the excellent location, which is perfect for excursions to the impressive châteaux on the Loire. However, what made our stay truly exceptional was the warm hospitality and helpfulness of the hosts, which went far beyond the great breakfast service. We will definitely be back and can highly recommend this accommodation. Many thanks for an unforgettable time!
