A beautiful gite in peaceful surroundings, lovely pool and friendly owners
We really enjoyed our stay at Gite La Pinstrie, the owners live right next door so were on hand to answer any questions. The rooms are spacious, nicely decorated and we had no problem with having two families of four in the bedrooms upstairs whilst my parents had the bedroom downstairs. Lovely to have a bathroom for each bedroom too.
Our main reservation when booking the property was the restricted use of the pool, this is to allow the owners some time to make use of it for themselves. For the first couple of days we had free use because they were away, but during the week we tried to have lunch etc at those times. Part way into our stay they invited us to use the pool with them which was very kind and made such a difference for us. There was also a facility to play boules which was lovely as we had young children with us.
There is a supermarket 10 minutes down the road which was very handy but there wasn’t much else nearby. About 45mins away we took our children to a zoo which I’d highly recommend.
The only negative about our stay was the amount of flies, I’m not sure if it is a seasonal thing but it really was annoying by the end of our stay (August). We tried our hardest to keep everything tidy and all food covered.
Overall a lovely property and inviting owners.
Thank you for having us!
