including this from Laurence in February 2024 -

We had the privilege of spending two consecutive years with our family in this gîte over the Christmas period, and every moment spent was wonderful.

The generous space of the house was one of the highlights of our stay. With its 5 spacious bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and toilet, everyone could enjoy optimal comfort. This made life much easier for our large family of 10.

The house itself is very pleasant, spacious with 2 living rooms, clean and well equipped. Preparing our Christmas meal was a pleasure, with a well-appointed kitchen equipped with everything we needed.

The garden, worthy of a bucolic painting, added an extra touch of charm to our stay. The peaceful, pleasant atmosphere was perfect for relaxing and enjoying family playtime.

The location of the cottage is ideal, offering both the tranquility of a rural setting and proximity to shops and the abbey.

We had an excellent holiday in this house, made many fond memories and look forward to returning in both summer and winter!



Below are some reviews from previous years -

The house is of a great size, so spacious and cool, plenty of room for the 10 of us. Fantastic location to be based from and the pool is the ideal way to cool down. Would totally recommend and stay again!

The gite is just beautiful, really spacious inside (the photos don't show just how big it it!) and beautifully decorated. The kitchen is fully quipped with everything you might need. The garden is perfect, and the pool the icing on the cake. The garden games and table tennis table also featured heavily in our week. The view from 3 of the upstairs bedrooms across the garden to the Abbey beyond are pretty special, too. A really perfect week, and we would highly recommend this gite to anyone looking for a holiday home in the beautiful Loire Valley.

Everything Jo and Teresa have said about Au Pied de l’Abbaye is true. The house, the garden and its quiet setting suited everyone. It is a great base not only to visit the Abbaye and its Art Museum, but also the lovely Loire towns of Saumur, Chinon, the nearby vineyards, Sunday market 3 miles away in Montsoreau, and to enjoy an aperitif in the local brasserie! Not to mention the nearby BioParc, as good a zoo as we have seen anywhere, all in a troglodyte setting. In one word, Brilliant.

Finally a different word of comfort, we found all the administration details were dealt with meticulously including the immediate return of our security deposit. Book now and enjoy!

10 /10 The pictures don't do justice to this house! It is a very spacious and beautiful place in a lovely setting with views of the abbey, a very good size pool and a garden full of flowers & herbs. The bedrooms are all very nice, clean and comfortable, with high quality bedding and what seem like new en-suite bathrooms. The local town is nice as are nearby Montsoreau and Candes-Saint-Martin which are directly on the Loire. The abbey itself is spectacular and well worth a visit. We also hired bikes and cycled along parts of the Loire cycle path and in surrounding countryside - beautiful but be warned it's not flat! There were plenty of things to do in the region but just enjoying the house, garden and pool were also highlights. All contacts with Iain were very quick and easy, and all practical arrangements were very smooth. Highly recommended.

9.8/10 The pool was a welcome retreat from the fabulous weather that we had during our stay and the pool heating allowed us to enjoy this all the more. The garden has a swing set and table tennis which our children enjoyed and the patio area had an electric awning which provided an easy escape from the sun. The town is a few minutes walk away with a Boulangerie that we visited on a daily basis, a small local shop and a few local restaurants which we ate at several times for lunch. Would highly recommend. Iain was beyond helpful with directions and local activities.

Tout s'est très bien passé. Votre location est bien située,  très agréable et très  belle. Les lits sont confortables, les salles de bains toutes impeccables.  Bref nous sommes enchantés.

C'est avec regret que nous avons quitté ce magnifique gîte vraiment très confortable. Nous étions 7 adultes et 2 enfants (4 générations) et avons apprécié de ne jamais nous sentir à l'étroit, bien au contraire les pièces de vie sont très spacieuses et les 5 chambres toutes avec salles de bains, permettent à chacun de disposer de son intimité, un vrai luxe.

Tout cela au milieu d'un jardin peuplé d'oiseaux et de fleurs, et d'une piscine très bien chauffée à 28° dans laquelle nous nous sommes baignés avec bonheur malgré la pluie et la température extérieure de 14° ! 

Merci à Ian et Tracey qui, bien que n'étant pas sur place, sont très présents et ont accepté avec beaucoup de gentillesse d'aménager les horaires pour nous permettre de bien profiter de ce week-end de l'Ascension 2021.

En résumé, c'est une adresse que l'on oublie pas et où nous avons hâte de revenir.

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans votre maison très bien aménagée,  décorée avec goût et spacieuse. Le jardin, les équipements (terrasse, piscine et jardin) et la décoration étaient parfaits.

Nous vous remercions pour votre correspondance toujours complète et réactive. Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir !
