Lovely little place with charm
A three night stay to break our journey back to Roscoff and lovely to relax here. Unfortunately due to weather (it was October!) we couldn't sit outside which looks a lovely space. Hopefully we will be back in better weather.

A fantastic stay in a beautiful location
We had a fabulous time staying at Jasmine Cottage. The location is very rural - exactly what we wanted for peace, quiet and switching off from the outside world. We would recommend to anyone who wants a relaxing, stress free holiday in a beautiful location. Our 15 year old found the pace slow, but there was plenty to do in the surrounding area if you like to visit markets, chateaux, historical buildings etc. We went to Futuroscope. We would NOT recommend it. We spent the entire day queuing and the experiences lasted only one or two minutes each. Don't waste your money! The grounds of Jasmine Cottage are beautifully maintained by the owners and they were on hand if we needed anything. We had a lovely evening with the owners who couldn't have been more helpful if they had tried. Perfect company. The cottage is lovely and had everything we needed. A fantastic holiday, so thank you to Nigel and Sandra. We'll be coming back!

A tranquil stay
A quirky property full of character that we enjoyed staying at. Excellent communication with hosts Nigel and his wife. Excellent outside areas to sit and catch the sun or shade at any point in the day and the pool was a welcome relief when the temperatures rose. Richelieu is not to be missed nor either is Mont-sur-Guesnes. We certainly enjoyed the tranquility of the area and would return if we were to come to the area again.

Lovely stay, would love to come again!
Stunning property, such a huge garden, the pictures don’t do it justice! So much space, the pool and hot tub are fab and it was great to have a few BBQs and make use of the pizza oven. The cottage is beautiful and quaint and stays nice and cool in the heat. Beautiful rural area and close to amenities and not far from Chinon. Would highly recommend!

The cottage is quaint in superb grounds. It has all the facilities that we needed, however it is a little disjointed in terms of one bedroom being away from the centre. The host was brilliant & helped us when needed.

Rural retreat
We spent two weeks at this property as a family of three, and thoroughly enjoyed all of it. Great garden, lovely property, with lots of charm and numerous seating areas to enjoy. It's in a lovely rural and peaceful area, with great views and so little light pollution that you get great night time views of the stars. The hosts, Nigel and Sandra were very friendly and helpful, and we spent a really enjoyable evening with them over some drinks and food - thanks again! The gite is ideal for two couples or in our case one teenage child, but anyone with young children might struggle with the bedrooms. It's worth mentioning that the newer one isn't linked internally with the rest of the gite. Definitely recommend!!

Peaceful and relaxing getaway
What a lovely house, lovely hot tub, lovely views - peaceful and unobtrusive hosts. Nigel and Sandra certainly have made a lovely getaway - great for us as a couple but also for families - surrounded by fruit trees (Delicious apples but figs out of season) and unspoilt views of the french countryside. Bikes available - we were kindly loaned the electric ones - which meant we could go off exploring on dry quiet roads and buy daily bread and croissants from nearby village of Guesnes. It is how ever, quite remote so need car to go to larger towns of Saumur, Chinon and Richelieu - which were all great for sightseeing and eating. The Green Path from Richelieu to chinon was great for walking (old railway) and very quiet. A wonderful relaxing week. Definitely worth a visit

Brilliant cottage in quiet countryside, within easy reach of charming towns and villages
Well we found a little bit of paradise. The setting was perfect,quiet, charming, relaxing, an excellent way to wind down. The hosts Nigel and Sandra were so welcoming and had gone the extra mile to ensure we had all we needed. The facilities at Jasmine cottage are first class from various garden games-badminton,darts,boules,croquet and bikes plus plunge pool nestled between the lavender bushes and fig trees and a bubbly hot tub.The surrounding area of Richelieu,very pretty with a beautiful parkland to wander round.Would recommend a trip to Samaur also. Thank you Nigel and Sandra for your kind hospitality on the thursday night,i do hope we can return to your lovely Jasmine Cottage in the near future.

Wonderful Vacation... well chilled
Many, many thanks to Sandra a Nigel for providing us with a wonderful holiday escape. We wanted a French Holiday where we could relax and enjoy peace and tranquility, mixed with all the usual French atmosphere, village life, food and wine. Jasmine Cottage and the surrounding area provided all this... and some. When the dusk chorus ended and the cicadas finished their mating calls. All you could hear was nothing... absolutely nothing. Watching the sun set, with a nice glass (or two) of your favourite tipple was wonderful. Jasmin Cottage was well equipped and very comfortable. So whether you want to stay local, or visit all the Loire attractions, Jasmin Cottage is an ideal base. Nigel and Sandra were on hand if you needed advise or information... but never intrusive. Thanks once again, from a very ’chilled’ Garth and Jane

A Relaxing Country Retreat in Beautiful Central France
What a gem! Nigel and Sandra Berry have created a country cottage with all you will need for a relaxing stay. The property is enchanting. The location is central to many historic and significant cultural sites. Nigel and Sandra themselves are wonderful hosts. I would stay there again in a heartbeat and can highly recommend their gite.

Beautiful, relaxing, quiet cottage with a fantastic garden and plunge pool
Great place. Cottage is very comfortable, and well appointed and very well cared for. The garden area is lovely - very large, with different places to sit as the sun crosses. This was our second stay - and it was as good as the first visit. Great countryside, lots of walks around the farm tracks, Richelieu and Loudun are the nearest towns - both lovely. We thoroughly recommend this place. Owners Nigel and Sandra are excellent hosts.

Fantastically relaxing holiday cottage
Jasmine Cottage is fantastic place to relax and unwind. The cottage has everything you could need including some extra British plugs points which was very useful if youve forgotten to pack an adaptor. The garden is an absolute joy....huge, beautifully planted and with lots of places to sit in both sun and shade. We had great weather and spent lot's of time in the pool, barbequeing on the patio, as well as playing table tennis. Nigel and Sandra were great hosts and offered lots on information about places to visit, as well as providing us with fresh eggs from their chickens. The surrounding area has lots to do. We enjoyed the zoo at Doue La Fontaine, Chateau Villandry and Samur. A real highlight was lunch at Ricadeaux (sp?) in Loudon.....amazing food, friendly service and really reasonably priced. We highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a relaxing break.

Gorgeous, relaxing cottage in beautiful French countryside
We had a fabulous holiday a few weeks ago in this charming cottage. It has been very thoughtfully decorated and has everything you need. What makes it even more special is the garden and the various places to sit and enjoy the views and the tranquility of the surrounding countryside. It really is an idyllic escape from the noise and bustle of the UK. The planting encourages lots of insects and birds, as well as animals, and also offers lots of places to sit in the shade. The plunge pool is an added bonus on those very hot days. Nigel and Sandra, the owners, were very welcoming and always on hand if we needed anything, from sharing their hens' eggs to offering advice on local markets and places to visit. They were never intrusive and the whole property feels very private and secluded. The nearby town of Richelieu is very beautiful, as are many of the medieval towns along the Loire, such as Chinon (a particular favourite), Montsoreau and Saumur. We also highly recommend Fontevraud Abbey. If you have an interest in history, there is lots to see and do, much of it involving Joan of Arc and the Plantagenets! You do need to use a car a fair bit to get around, but the roads are good and not at all busy. We highly recommend this property if you want to get away from it all and sink into the relaxed, easy and convivial lifestyle of the Loire valley and surrounding areas.

Looking for rest? This is the place to be.
We stayed for two weeks in this beautiful house. If you are really looking for a quiet location where the birds are the only sound you hear, then this is the best place to be. The very old house has been wonderfully converted by Nigel into a beautiful place to stay. You have a huge garden at your disposal where you can always find a place to rest or be active from morning to night. Nigel and Sandra, as owners and neighbors, keep a modest background but are ready to help you if you ask for it. From this location it is great to walk between the sunflowers or go by car into the area to beautiful cities such as Tours, Poitiers, Richelieu, La Rochelle and other places. The area you cross offers beautiful views and nice villages.

Séjour très agréable dans un environnement extraordinaire.
L'environnement est magnifique, le cottage est très bien situé pour visiter les châteaux environnants. Il faut savoir, que sur l'annonce est indiqué 2 lits de 135/190, dans la chambre séparée, c'est un lit de 160 ce qui est plus agréable. Rien ne manque, à part d'ustensiles pour le barbecue et des éclairages pour pouvoir manger sur la terrasse le soir. Nous avons passés un séjour très agréable avec piscine, salon de jardin ( 2 ), des velos, table de ping-pong, le + c'est le jacuzzi. Nous reviendrons avec un grand plaisir et merci au propriétaire de son accueil malgré notre heure tardive. Il faut découvrir cet endroit, le cottage est admirablement décoré avec goût. Merci encore.
