Search Bed and Breakfast in Mandres

"My 5 year old summed this up best: ‘I wish we could live here!’ The property was idyllic. It was set in huge private grounds that are not overlooked by anyone except horses and donkeys. We had all our meals outside in the sunny courtyard chatting around the large tables and listening to nature, under the shade of the tree, and spent evenings there also under garden string lights. We loved the pool - the kids spent endless hours in it and the adults could relax on the comfy sun loungers under the parasols. There was also a pool cover and the area was gated so very safe for kids. The area was incredibly quiet - we could cycle on the roads from the property without coming across many vehicles, and visited many pretty villages in le perche region and saw beautiful churches, went to nice markets and played mini golf. But we didn’t need to leave the property - there was enough there to entertain us - the pool, table tennis, darts, badminton, bikes, table football, hammocks, swing, river, donkeys, ponds and frogs, games (we loved pickomino!) and tv (that was never turned on!). The accommodation was clean, had everything we needed, beds were comfortable, floorboards were on the creaky side and doorways low for taller guests, but authentically renovated and full of character. What a privilege it was to have spent a week in such a lovely, peaceful place. "

"The villa is in a small community of homes with enough privacy to think you were completely alone. The pool and gardens are beautiful and our children thoroughly enjoyed this aspect, both very well kept.Inside the villa you have two rooms upstairs with a bathroom with bath and a library on the landing overlooking downstairs, all very clean. Downstairs you have another 2 bedrooms (one with a TV and sofa bed) and a further bathroom with shower. Again all very clean and tidy. The living room space and dining area are much bigger than the photos so this was a nice surprise with a large fire in the centre (we didn't use this as we visited at the end of July) the villa also had aircon in the living area. The kitchen came fully equipt with lots of utensils and pots and there is a large fridge, three drawer freezer, dishwasher and microwave to use. The kitchen is quite small so preparing dinner was a little challenging when cooking for seven of us. The only negative is that the kitchen cupboards and the wardrobes in the rooms had a fair bit of clutter so I had to move some things in the kitchen and couldn't really hang anything in the wardrobes, this is such a minor thing though.The host Frédéric was amazing from start to finish, answered emails quickly, answered lots of my questions and gave us lots of details for check in. You won't be disappointed if you stay here."

"The house is magnificent. Jerome made us feel like it was our home and nothing was too much trouble.the grounds, house and lake are exceptional. Our hope is to return next year as 3 generations had a wonderful time. Thank you so much for a wonderful holiday. "
