Excellent location, total relaxation

Fabulously spacious and well equipped gite. Located directly next to a beautiful lake where we spent hours watching the rich local wildlife! So relaxing! You will never find hosts as welcoming and knowledgeable as Jacqueline and Patrick. Lots to see in this fascinating area of France, mostly just a 30 minute drive from the gite. Another bonus is the Carrefour supermarket just a couple of minute's walk around the corner! We loved our stay and hope to return!

A very spacious, clean, contemporary house on a peaceful pond.

We had a wonderful week exploring the Loire Valley vineyards and the occasional chateau and cathedral. Really loved coming home to the house to relax and enjoy the view over the pond and its abundant wildlife. Jacqueline and Patrick could not have been more welcoming or more helpful. So unusual in Europe to have so much space to breathe. Great private parking and an excellent grocery store a block away. Would love to return!

Delightful Holiday Home

We had a fantastic two weeks in this lovely part of France. The accommodation was spotless and spacious with everything needed for a quiet relaxing holiday. Jacqueline and Patrick were great hosts, recommending (and even booking) restaurants for us and suggesting places to visit. We can’t recommend La Grange highly enough. Thank you for a wonderful holiday.

Beautiful gite in a gorgeous setting

We were made to feel welcome by the most friendly, warm and helpful owners. Nothing was too much when we requested assistance about restaurants and reservations, what and where to go for sightseeing etc The gite is in the most beautiful setting next to lake. It was exceptionally clean and well equipped. This is a gite well worth the visit and highly recommended

Six étoiles sur cinq!!

If you want a relaxing holiday in an amazing property in a beautiful part of France then this place is for you!! Jacqueline & Patrick are such lovely people giving you a really warm welcome to a holiday let they are so rightly proud of. A proper tour of the property showing you how everything works with a few lovely touches such as cherries & the best strawberry jam that I have ever tasted (homemade of course!) The cottage is very well equipped both inside and out and we really appreciated the new garden shade in the hot weather we had. If fishing is your thing (as it is in my husband's case) then you will not be disappointed. He caught numerous carp (grass, mirror etc.) the largest being 38.5lbs! We are missing our morning coffee on the terrace looking out at the lake and wildlife and hope to be back!!

First Class Retreat with Lake and Wildlife as a Bonus

Right from the moment we met Jacqueline and later Patrick we knew this was a quality location run to very high standards which weren't going to be allowed to drop. We were shown how everything worked and where it was located and later Jacqueline came back and introduced us to the key places to see in the surrounding area. Patrick and Jacqueline are a very friendly and helpful couple and were there when needed or just for a chat in Franglais. The cottage and it's setting are superb. From the patio table with adjustable sun shade to the huge bathroom with a walk in shower to the well equipped kitchen - it's all there. Also, to be able to walk around a lake from your front door or just to sit and watch the Mallards and other wildlife were great bonuses to have in a holiday home. The location of this cottage gives you easy access to the whole semi circle of the Loire from Blois to Sancerre and its many interesting towns and chateaux. To be recommended.

Big fish!

The three of us have just returned home after a week in Jouy le Potier - We all had the most wonderful time, grateful thanks to Jacquline, Patrick and Charles for being fantastic hosts and fishing advisors!! Great weather, lots of lovely places to visit, time for relaxing, abundant wildlife to observe and last but not least fishing for my father! He was very pleased to have caught 30lb carp, his biggest fish ever! 🎣 Thank you Alec, Martin and Dawn

Loire valley perfect retreat!

We are a family of 3 who stayed in hot August for 10 nights. Top 10 elements (in no particular order): 1. The welcome. We arrived late (8pm ish) and Patrick and Jacqueline were lovely in their intro to the property. The honey, jam and figs were also lovely. 2. The house is gorgeous. 3. The hosts are friendly, kind, available if you want them to be and just lovely! 4. The lake is so peaceful. We seemed to spend hours looking at the view. 5. Nature: lots of fish (huge carp!), birds, ducks, a wandering-through deer; many varieties of tree. 6. The amenities in the house are exceptional, from an egg whisk to candles. 7. The outside verandah area is plenty big enough with 2 seating areas and sun loungers. 8. There are so many castles within a short drive! 9. We loved Orleans and Blois. Patrick told us about the P+R which was really easy to find and use to avoid parking prices in Orleans. 10. The peace. It is a serene place to stay. The occasional revving engine down the main road can be easily ignored. Thank you Jacqueline and Patrick. We loved every aspect of our stay and would love to return next year sometime (and I wouldn't say that unless we really hoped it could happen!) S, J and A

What an amazing holiday home, so peaceful.

Jacquelin & Daniel gave us a genuine welcome and comprehensive tour of their beautiful holiday home and well tended surroundings. The gite had all that we required for our week in the Loiret. Positioned in it’s own park on the edge of the village with a large lake and wildlife to keep us interested. As a bonus, Daniel had provided us with a tv channel that showed all of the FIFA world cup games. The WiFi had an extensive range that allowed us to sit outside to stargaze with the app on my pad and watch Sky Go when we wanted. Although not suitable for young children because of the lake, we would thoroughly recommend Jacqueline & Daniel’s holiday home.

Fabulous

The gite is amazing, very spacious, comfortable and well equipped. You have complete privacy overlooking the pond. (I called it a lake but apparently it's only a lake in France when by the mountains, however it takes 0.3 miles to walk round it!!) There is numerous wildlife to watch which is very relaxing. The outside space is also fabulous, a large patio with table, chairs, sun loungers and BBQ. The owners, Jaqueline and Patrick are lovely, very friendly and keen to ensure that you are enjoying your stay without being intrusive. They live on the site and are happy to help if you need any help or information. Luckily Jacqueline's English is very good as our French is basic!! We only used the downstairs space as there was just to two of us, however there is comfortable space for six. The kitchen is fully kitted out and the open plan aspect make it very light and airy. All the fixtures and fittings are to a very high standard and there is lovely attention to detail, e.g. the outside lighting, the velux windows. It is situated in a lovely area with many great places to visit near by. I would definitely recommend this gite. Merci beaucoup to Jaqueline and Patrick for a fabulous stay.

Perfect!

'La Grange de mon Pere' is a beautiful holiday let in lovely tranquil surroundings. From the terrace you have an uninterrupted view of the lake and its wildlife and not a single neighbour in site! The gite itself is spotlessly clean and extremely well appointed including thoughtful touches such as picnic blankets and insect repellant (which we didn't need!!). Jacquline and Patrick are the most kind and welcoming hosts - nothing is too much trouble for them yet their presence is discreet and unassuming. On our arrival there were fresh flowers in the kitchen and a welcome tray including fruit, biscuits and a pot of homemade jam. During our stay we enjoyed thoughtful gifts of vegetables from the garden. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend 'La Grange de mon Pere' and hope to return for another stay in years to come.

A beautiful place to stay

A lovely converted barn with its own small lake. We loved watching the wildlife in and around the lake, from the flying carp catching insects to the regular visits from a deer. And not forgetting the sitting tenants (a large family of ducks). The barn had everything we wanted for our stay and the very discreet owners (Jacqueline and Patrick) were on hand if anything was needed. We would have no hesitation staying again if/when we are in this part of France. There is plenty to do and see in the area. The Saturday Market at Beaugency was well worth a visit. Whilst the Parc Floral de La Source was not at its best (we were too late in the year for the irises) but it was still a very pleasant walk around the park. Slightly further afield we particularly enjoyed a trip to the Canal-Pont de Briare (a marvellous engineering feat) and the towns of Blois and Amboise are brimming with history and well worth a visit.

Impeccably presented light modern gîte with stunning views over your own private lake.

The gîte is very clean, light and modern. It's one of the best we've stayed at in the last 20 years. It's an excellent base to explore this area of the Loire. There are many chateaus to visit. Chambord is particularly spectacular. Orléans is a large city to look around and is only a short drive. We also visited Paris for the day. The zoo at Beauval with it's panda's is highly recommend. We love cycling in France and rode along the Loire and visited many of the local villages. Jacqueline and Patrick are wonderful hosts. They are very discreet yet helpful if you have questions about the area. The gifts of fruit and local honey on arrival went down a treat. We certainly recommend a visit and I know we will return again in the future.
