We loved our stay - we visited Chinon fortress and spent an afternoon canoeing on the Vienne. The location is fantastic and the pool is the biz! We have already booked to come back. Mike, Kay and Helen, Stockport June 2009.

We so enjoyed our stay at La Baudiere- everything was just right. Hero is already dreaming about going back with a friend for a cycling trip... We've attached a bunch of pictures; feel free to use for the Facebook page. Lara, Hero and kids, Holland (July 2010).

Thank you so much for such a wonderful stay in France, you really have a great place and we will definitely be coming back!! We will look out for Nelson on facebook!! Cathy, Steve and family, South Africa/London (August 2010).

We've had a great time staying at La Baudiere, we would definitely recommend it - great location to venture out to the Loire areas, Saumur, Loches, all the chateaux - fab! Bec, Mark, Steph, Dave and Lucy. Paris, June 2011.

Although I bought La Baudiere in 2000, I was only able to spend a few weeks a year here until 2007, when I gave up my job and moved here full time. Restoring the property and grounds has been a labour of love and I now at last enjoy sharing my beautiful home with my partner, Sue, our families and friends and the many guests who book to stay each summer.
