Cottages in Varennes-sur-Loire

'Exceeded expectations. Gite had everything we needed and more. Welcoming, helpful and kind host. Thick stone walls, double glazing and shutters meant it was nice and cool, even in the summer heatwave. Massive garden. Quiet location. Lots to see and do nearby - could easily stayed a month ! Mireille's garden - a shady retreat from the heat - a short walk away. Lifeguard supervised swimming (free) and water activities in summer at nearby Plan d'eau Hommes. Zip lining and treetop climbing, walks...

'Really peaceful place to stay, lovely accommodation, nice bar onsite with toys for children, a drive to a local town to eat out'

'A very spacious property both inside and out. Very well equipped, and appearing to be further developed. Very good kitchen, bbq and outside areas and a rather quirky inside layout. Lots of space for families with children. We had an issue at one point and the owners, who are charming people, were very quick to respond and to try and sort things out. The pool, of course, is excellent, particularly as we had extremely hot weather.'
