We had a delightful few days at the Manoir. No pigeons, just a house beautifully restored by Judith and Chris, and carefully laid out gardens with lots of places to sit and char, read or sketch after enjoying the home cooking. We made the short car journey into Angers, where as well as the shops and old buildings, there was... More

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we had the best attention possible. First class accommodation with own en-suite with window. Wonderful garden and very central location for sights to see and paint.

A truely lovely retreat. Gorgeous garden. Fab food. Great hosts. Very relaxing.

We had a wonderful week - were pleased to be the first Australian guests and... More
