Ken and Liz Mason the resident owners of three 350 year old stone cottages with beamed ceilings and terracotta floors, set in an acre of gardens nestling on the edge of a lovely hamlet surrounded by open fields in the heart of the Loire Valley. To maintain the tranquillity of the setting and to ensure total relaxation during your holiday with us we only accept adults.
Our local villages of Le Grand Pressigny and Preuilly sur Claise can provide you with all the usual French treats such as the Boulangerie for fresh breads and tarts to the Charcuterie and Boucherie for meats, both have weekly markets.
Each cottage has its own private area of garden, the gardens include lawns, an orchard with plum, pear, apple, cherry and walnut trees and we also have a herb garden.

Recreational opportunities abound in the region. Biking on the almost traffic-free country roads alongside the wide rivers, privately-owned châteaux and red-roofed villages, certainly qualifies as one of the most delightful activities.

Bird watching is especially well-rewarded in the Regional Park of the Brenne, a wildlife refuge. Amateur spelunkers will be able to explore numerous caves inhabited during the Stone Age, and rock climbers will find the limestone cliffs a major challenge. Other outdoor activities include horse-riding, tennis and golfing.
