Jesamine is conveniently situated within an easy 1 1/2 hours drive from Tours, Poitiers and Limoges Airports, and less than 7 hours drive from Boulogne and Calais. La Girardetterie is part of the commune of Saulnay and lies on the edge of the Brenne National Park, which has an abundance of lakes and pretty villages.
The cottage comprises a cosy, well furnished lounge with log burner, original beams, English TV, video and DVD player. There are plenty of videos and books, plus some board games.
The adjoining dining room is entered through an archway, and is open to the garden via french windows.
There is a newly refurbished and well equipped kitchen/diner with cooker, fridge/freezer, microwave and seated area. Off the kitchen there is a large bathroom with wc, vanity unit, and washing machine.
Upstairs, in the converted grenier, there is a double bedroom and a single bedroom, both with views over the village towards the woods. The large landing has a single bed, and screen for privacy.
There is a large garden with seating area at the back of the property as well as a small front garden which also has a table and chairs. There is also a BBQ and ample parking at the side of the cottage.
The surrounding area is a haven for nature lovers with woods, lakes and rivers. Ideal for birdwatchers, ramblers, cyclists and anglers. Perfectly situated for touring the Loire region, and the wonderful chateaux of the area, or simply a place to relax and unwind.
We do accept a well behaved dog but must insist it is not allowed upstairs.
The property is not really suitable for small children.
We have English friends in nearby Saulnay who look after the cottage for us. They will check if everything is satisfactory on arrival and will be available during your stay, if required.
