Thank you for an unforgettable week! The house and gardens have been a dream. We have been blessed with amazing weather and the pool has made the holiday for the children. We hope to stay again in the near future to explore the area more and leave for home all feeling re-charged and re-energised. Thank you so much for such a warm welcome.

Rebecca Shaw, Tom and Beth Cambridge, UK

Jules and John Shaw Cornwall, UK
We have had a very enjoyable fortnight in your beautiful house and gardens, despite the unfriendly weather. We go home feeling very relaxed. We enjoyed days out in Chinon, Fontevraud and several of the other places mentioned by others. Thank you for your hospitality, the wine, jam and bubbles. Hope you enjoyed Italy.

Alex
We have had a really lovely week. Thank you for everything, the house has been amazing.

Paul K
I just wanted to thank you for allowing us to use your wonderful house and gardens last week.

Aideen and I had a fantastic holiday, due in no small part to the accommodation.

Alison and Jan
We echo the comments of your previous guests in your beautiful home and garden.
It was a long wait before we finally got here but so worth it.
So many vinyards, so many châteaux, so little time. One of our lasting memories is standing in the middle of the Loire river on the riverbed. We hope the river returns soon.

Helen, Ian, Felix, Max and Perry
Thank you so much for our lovely relaxing stay in your home. We have waited a couple of years due to covid and our boys (and ourselves) really enjoyed our stay.
You made us feel so welcome and we have very muh enjoyed spending time in your garden watching regular visitors like woodpeckers, buzzards and barn owls, etc.
We are already planning to come back and promise to visit more of the region.
Thank you for your kind hospitality and it was lovely to meet your visiting family.
If we could take the pool and the hammock home with us, we would! Thanks again.

Evelyn
The garden was amazing! I loved waking up to hear the birds tweeting and the cockerel crowing. Merci.

Rachael, Alex, Evelyn and Oscar
We have been looking forward to our week here for a very long time (due to Covid restrictions) and it did not disappoint! The garden and house are beautiful and we all loved the pool. We could have happily stayed in the garden all week but we did tear ourselves away to see Saumur, Villandry and Montsoreau. Our children, 5 and 9, particularly enjoyed the Châetau and gardens at Villandry.
Thank you for a wonderful week and a warm welcome - the fizz and roses were so lovely. We hope to return.

Rachael, Josie, Daisy and John
Jake says it all! A fabulous house, garden and welcome. Daisy REALLY loved the tomatoes too! Thanks.

Jake
I loved staying in this lovely house. The garden was my favourite part of it. I did enjoy having a dip in the pool. I'm glad to say I am satisfied with my stay.

Ronan, Emma, Ellen (8) and Julia (3)
Merci! We have spent a wonderful week in your beautiful and charming home. It is so well equipped with everything that we would possibly need. We all loved the swimming pool and our 2 girls had great fun on the trampoline and playing ping-pong.
We were delighted to visit Montsoreau again, 9 years after out last visit and 2 children now added to the mix. We had another lovely dinner at Le Montsoreau watching the glorious sunset over the Loire. Fresh bread every morning from Long was a treat.
The weather has been perfect and the days with some cloud cover gave us great relief.
Thank you for your hospitality.

Jaz, Paul, Elizabeth and Cracker the dog
Merci bien! Thank you for letting us share your beautiful home.
We have lazed around the pool and stunning gardens, played badminton and bought more shuttlecocks!
We managed to see our friends in Brinon-sur-Sauldre, visited Saumur (seen the Château and fireworks for Bastille Day) and managed a dinner locally too.
Thank you for your fabulous hospitality. (We have also watered the little pots near the garden door, everyday, the flowers in and out of the house have been stunning!)
Merci bien and au revoir!

Tripp family
Thank you so much for a wonderful week in your house. We enjoyed the sparkling wine, the beautiful flowers and the house is just amazing with everything we needed.
Highlights for us were nine holes of golf just outside of Saumur, cycling, a wine tour, meals out and relaxing by the pool.
We caught roach, dace and three large bream. There was a beautiful kingfisher by the stream.
Perfect weather and we have appreciated everything all the more after all the restrictions of the last two years.

Tessa, Simon, Flora and Clara - UK
Thank you for such a blissful week with you! We have spent many happy hours enjoying your beautiful garden and pool, while exploring the surrounding countryside on our bikes has been idyllic.
Highlights have definitely been visiting château Azay le Rideau, Beauval zoo (an hour and a half by car) and a wonderfully relaxed lunch down by the river at La Route du Sel.
Thank you for your incredible hospitality, generosity and warmth.
We really hope to return next year!

Jukka, Mari, Samuli, Emuri and Ida - Finland
We loved this peace!
Thank you so much for making our week here the best we have had ever in France. All your help and tips made a perfect week to us.
We can certainly recommend La Route du Sel. Bike rental from Gennes was also a great way to see La Loire.
Thank you also for keeping the house and garden so beautifully. We hope to come back!

The Cousins and Hawkes - Corwall and Devon
We have so enjoyed our week in your beautiful home and garden.
Thank you for recommending the castle and gardens at Villandry - we loved it and it is well worth visiting. The Abbey at Fontevraud was interesting and set in a pretty area.

Thank you both very much for a fantastic holiday. We have all loved it for so many different reasons. Your house and the surrounding area has catered for all our needs. It was a pleasure getting to know you both and if you ever want to visit Scotland to play golf you would be most welcome.

Ali, Stuart, Brodie and Millie - UK
What a lovely week we have spent here exploring the Loire.
We have throughly enjoyed returning each evening to the quiet sanctuary of this beautiful home - a true taste of France!
The grounds and garden are so peaceful and relaxing and we would have wished to spend more time doing so but alas it is time to go.
Merci beaucoup!

Will, Hilary, Harry, Joseph and Storm - UK

We have had a wonderful week in Les Jumelles. Thank you so much for welcoming us to this beautiful place and for your warm hospitality.
We hope to return here and stay in these fabulous surroundings.
Many thanks again.

Howard and Diana - Berkshire, UK
We have spent many happy holidays in France, but as this year is our 40th wedding anniversary we thought we should look for somewhere really special - and we found it!
The house is a delight and the garden is the most beautiful place to rest and relax. The countryside around is very peaceful and charming and we greatly enjoyed the nearby towns and villages. The abbey at Fontevraud was a special highlight and the châteaux at Saumur, Chinon and Angers, which we last visited more than 30 years ago, were all well worth visiting again - so much restoration work has been done in the intervening years. We also liked the Corniche Angevine which runs along the South bank of the Loire between Rochefort and Challones and the many wine growing areas.
Many thanks for your warm welcome and kind hospitality.

Tim and Sue - UK
Many thanks for your kind and generous welcome and hospitality. We have had a fabulous week. You have a fabulous house and thank you for letting us share it.

Tom, Claire, Anna, Harry and Brandon - Devon, UK
Many thanks indeedfor letting us share your wonderful cottage - it made for an excellent week! Torn between seeing the countryside, castles, vineyards and markets versus walking, canoeing or swimming, or just relaxing in the garden beside the pool ; too much choice!
Thank you also for the bottle of fizzy on our arrival and the personal touch of roses in every room - all were much appreciated!

Mary and Mark - Dublin, Ireland
A beautiful house and garden which made for a very relaxing time in your beautiful surrounding. Thank you for the recommendations for lunch and dinner at various restaurants - very special. A very memorable stay here, one of our top destinations of the world in the Loire! Beautifully French - a wonderful experience!

We hope to come again very soon please. Until then, merci beaucoup.

We would certainly recommend this beautiful holiday home to friends and family!
Many thanks.

Crovato family - Italy
Got back yesterday. Wonderful place and wonderful house. Thanks.

Alison, Kerry and Polly - New Zealand
We have had a perfect week staying in this gorgeous home. As much as we loved getting out and about, we have also loved spending lazy days around the pool - it has been quite a challenge to tear ourselves away!
We managed it a few times though and between us the hits were serious cycle trips on quiet country roads, exploring beautiful little towns that are just all over the place, the odd château visit (Chenonceau is a must - get there early) and of course, just being in France.
Thank you for allowing us into your very special home - you are lovely hosts and I hope our paths cross again in the future. Merci beaucoup!

Stuart, Kirsty, Archie and Henriette - Cambridgeshire, UK
Thank you for your hospitality and enabling us to stay in this beautiful house.
During our stay we have very much enjoyed L'abbaye de Fontevraud - so beautiful and wondrous to explore for us and our children, Chinon - such character, even in the rain, the sweet asset wine Coteaux du Layon (c'est magnifique, merci), Azay le Rideau - such a beautiful village, many interesting shops, beautifully presented streets, Mona Pizza in Saumur, despite the name the pizzas (wood-fired oven) were incredible! the Church in Cunault - stunning 14th century, Villandry château gardens - the grounds were stunning, Montreuil ville basse - a lovely village, stunning château in the centre and a great pottery studio, the pool and garden! Enjoyed by us all every day. The gîte was a home-from-home, a real pleasure to stay in. We hope to return here one day!

Denise, Michel, Jean and François - Canada
To others who get to enjoy Les Jumelles: this home was like a true little paradise for my husband and I and our two nephews. It is very well appointed with all the amenities you will need. We vacationed during mid-June and found that the house was very fresh with a lovely breeze. A lovely touch was having a freshly cut rose in each bedroom upon our arrival. We found ourselves enjoying the home and grounds so much, we tried to have all our dinners (suppers) here. Our hosts were very friendly yet non-intrusive and provided us with wonderful suggestions in terms of sites to visit while in the area. We were taking a day to go back to Paris and both owners helped provide us a sound plan as to best use our time there for our nephews who had never been. We will recommend this destination to friends and relatives for sure and even try to com back in the not too distant future. Merci.
PS: The shower is great but ask for the trick to turn it on!

Alan, Michelle, Tom, Lauren and Philippe
This is our last night staying at Les Jumelles and we are all sad to be leaving your wonderful house and garden. We only have good memories of our stay and you have made us feel extremely relaxed during the last two weeks. The weather has been perfect for lots of fun spent in the swimming pool and whilst also enjoying your fantastic garden.

David, Linda, Dylan and Paul
Thanks so much for a lovely stay in your gorgeous home! All the very best to you and your family! Warm wishes.

Judy and Bob - Sydney, Australia
This is a beautiful home in a stunning part of the world. We have had a wonderful holiday! Merci beaucoup. P.S. Château Villandry is a must see.

G, F, H, S, M - UK
We had a lovely stay in your house, which is like a 'home from home'. The house is beautifully decorated and French styled and the 'jardin' with the vibrant roses finished it off in splendor. The region and location is also ideal, being so remote and yet convenient. Unfortunately the weather was against us, which made the house even more important! The swing in the garden was a major hit with our oldest daughter.

Cusiter family
Thank you so much for opening up this very special place to us. We have absolutely, completely and totally loved being here. The house is so beautiful and cool and the garden is absolutely amazing. We feel so lucky to have been able to come and rest here. We would definitely love to come back.

Raymond, Candy and Alison
We love this house! Thank you for having us.
The Loire valley is stunning and it is great having a comfortable home to return to at the end of the day. Our daughter LOVES the beautiful garden. Everything was perfect and we hope to return some day.

R, A, E and H - Sydney
Thank you for a fantastic week in your beautiful home. We absolutely loved exploring the Loire and a swim in the pool was a wonderful way to end each amazing day. Our children spent hours exploring the garden and relishing in the space and freedom it gave them. Many thanks.

C and G Dooley - UK
Thank you very much for sharing your wonderful house with us for our honeymoon.
We have had a wonderful time exploring the Loire valley, highly recommended, we even got to spend 3 days by the pool! The garden is simply stunning and is a real credit to your hard work.

David and Julie - UK
We had a very enjoyable week in your comfortable and charming house. We can recommend the dairy products from the local farmer and one of our favourite places to visit was Chinon. We have also discovered Savennieres wine which is a real treat. We would like to come back soon!

Thank you for a wonderful relaxing holiday. Your house, gardens and surroundings are all spectacular. We very much enjoyed picnicing in the back garden and our kids absolutely loved the tree house. Highlights were Saumur market Saturday morning. Dining at La Licorne Fontervuad Château d'Ussé, Zoo BioParc de Doce and the gardens at Château de Villandry. Also a visit with the kids across the road to see the rabbits at the invitation of your friendly neighbours. Many thanks.
