About this property

“The Barn” is our Gite Rental with Pool - Nearest City is Saumur

Le Tilleul Barn is a well equipped self catering Gite set in the Loire Valley just South of Saumur (20Kms) and in the small Hamlet of Chambernou in Saint-Macaire-du-Bois. It has its own tranquil private gardens that have a magnificent view of open countryside. It is child friendly for families but can also accommodate up to 6 Adults. We are within easy reach of Le-Puy-Notre-Dame, Montreuil-Bellay and Doue-la-Fontaine plus there are many other interesting places to visit which have beautiful Chateauxs and lots of history. There is a wine domain 5 minutes walking distance from the property for excellent local wines.

Suitable for 2 - 6 (We do have 2 x Z-Beds available for use in case a parent wants a child in the same room as themselves) (3 Bedrooms)

Pool Installation 10 x 4 metres (Shared with Owners). Sun Loungers, Table & Chairs are available.

There is a double bedroom with a large en-suite shower room on the ground floor with french doors leading to the garden. Upstairs you will find a large double room with a four poster bed and a vaulted beamed chapel ceiling with windows on three sides to capture the countryside views. Plus another twin bedded room with countryside views. We also have 2 x Z-Beds available if a parent wants to have a child in the same room as themselves. There is another refitted family shower room and separate toilet. Each bedroom is naturally bright and airy. Downstairs you will find a Lounge and Kitchen/Dining area which comes fully equipped with everything you could wish for to make a very pleasant stress free holiday plus a wood burning stove for those cooler evenings. From the Lounge there are French doors which open out onto the sunny private garden where we provide a BBQ, Garden Table & Chairs and Umbrella for alfresco outdoor eating. All rooms have electric heaters as well as the wood burner. In cooler months a small charge will be made for any electricity used as the Barn has its own meter. There is a large TV with UK Freeview channels. We also have bicycles that can be used for leisurely rides around the stunning local countryside & vineyards which are within walking distance if you wish to purchase and sample some very nice local wines. You are in an area where there are many Domains for Wine Tasting and Tours are available.

We are British owners who live in the Farmhouse which is completely separate to the rented Gites and are here if you need any help or advice but will not interfere if you prefer to do your own exploring.

Most beautiful gite in a quiet hamlet near sightseeing gems
'The Barn' is equiped with everything you need and more, even a welcoming pack (milk, coffe thee etc) to get you started. Rita and Ed are the most kind hosts you can imagine. They will help you out with anything and answer all of your questions, but leave you very private. 10 out of 10 score ❤️ In the area lots of things to do within less than an hour drive, the direct enviroment is very quiet and peacefull. Lovely big garden and heated swimmingpool.

Beautiful spot with wonderful hosts
Thank you to Rita and Ed for a wonderful four nights in their perfect gite. We could not have asked for more, the gite was spotless and the pool was stunning and the prefect temperature. Our children loved Quinn the friendly dog who played with them beautifully. Ed and Rita were perfect hosts with the right amount of chat/local knowledge and distance. Thank you! We will be back and recommending this gite to all our friends and family

Excellent 2 week stay
Absolutely delighted we chose The Barn. We booked with the help of previous reviews and so glad we did. Peace and quiet, beautiful location and lots of things to do in the locality. The Bioparc was a huge hit as was the Troglodyte Village, the Petit Train and boat trip in Saumur. My daughter and son-in-law loved the vintage bike ride at Bouvet Ladubay too. Ed and Rita were the perfect hosts with lots of info ( especially our wine tasting trip that Ed planned for us and escorted us to - Edouard was a fabulous font of knowledge and makes wonderful wine) but were in no way intrusive - they were loved by both our grandaughters but have to say, sorry , the star of the show was of course, Quinn, the super dog - everyone loved him. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

About the host

Hosted by Rita & Ed Kiely

Host profile image
We are a British couple in our 60's and have been married for 46 years and finally we went with our dream and moved to Saint Macaire Du Bois in February 2016. We live on site in the main Farmhouse. We have been busy since arriving and have made a lot of renovations and added the Pool which is a fantastic addition to the place. We love having people around the place and are here if you need any information, advice or help on any subject or in organising things for you or your family to do whilst here on holiday you only have to ask but we are also very aware that you might like to do your own thing and explore for yourselves. For those who need to know we have a very friendly 6 year old dog on site who we rescued from the Dog Pound in March 2019. He is extremely well behaved and loves everybody (Our granddaughter is 4 and he adores her) He will not be in the Gite or disturb any of our Guests unless you invite him of course but just to let people know.

Why they chose this property

Easy access to many beautiful places. Plenty of walking & cycling. Bird watching. New water park at Thouars. Le-Puy-Du-Fou is an excellent theme Park which when you Google you will see just how popular it is (Tickets can be obtained from the Local Tourist Office) Many of our Guests have been and said how wonderful the shows were. Wine Tours are all local with many of the local Vineyards offering tastings. Chateaux's, Markets, Village Festivals. Also very peaceful and relaxing at the property and ideal for a family holiday. Children and Adults alike just love the Pool area.
