We found your chateau without any problem and are  ecstatic with how beautiful it is.  It is our dream come true holiday and we thank you very much. It is beautifully decorated and cared for and perfect for our holiday! We have noticed one small thing that you may already be aware of. The flushing button on the ground floor toilet keeps getting stuck and continues to fill.  We have been able to stop it manually but it may need seeing to. Apart from this minor thing, everything else is perfect! Thank you again and warm regards.

We absolutely loved our stay at Grazay. It couldn't have been better - everything in the house was just so well thought through - we all really felt it was a proper home and not just a holiday rental. We may have worn your petanque out - given the use it got - thankfully I managed to remain top dog although my wife would disagree! There was a new intermarche in Richelieu which we found which is quite good and quite near - I also visited both your wine recommendations and certainly the couly we have already tasted is excellent I have only managed one bottle of the Baudry thus far so too early to tell but Cravant looks like a wine mecca! I hope we can visit Grazay again next year - but we are nearing completion on our place in Switzerland so may have to go there next summer! Thanks once again for loaning us your house - we had a fabulous time for two weeks.

Dear Philip,

I just wanted to write to you and let you know how much we enjoyed our stay at your Chateau! You have it so well equipped and very nicely furnished.
It is in such a wonderful location and we really appreciated the notes in the handbook about all the near by restaurants and things to do. It was a perfect location for our family reunion.

Thank you!

Everything went very smoothly. The house was magnificent, everything in perfect working order. Our youngest son, Sebastiaan, has declared that he never wants any other holiday destination in his life! This will lead to some discussion about next year's plans, as we usually visit a different country or area every year. Thank you very much for letting us enjoy your wonderful property! Kind regards,

I wanted to take the time to say how lovely we found your chateau. Despite a slightly wetter week than we had hoped for, we managed to dodge the showers and make use of the swimming pool and tennis court, not to mention the games room! It was a truly lovely place to stay, it had everything you needed and could have hoped for, we will be definitely recommending it to our friends and hope if we stay again we may be blessed with sunnier weather!
Marvellous place to stay – thank you.

Hello Philip
I together with my wife Francoise returned to the UK yesterday after a memorable stay at your lovely home which was followed by a few days in Senonches and then Senlis.
We had a marvellous time. It was enjoyed by all. You have a very special place at Grazay. It has all that we could have hoped for. A beautiful house with a very well appointed interior. We made good use of the pool, the tennis court ( My legs are still sore as it was the first time I played for 20 years) and indeed the table tennis table with sessions late into the night. The location was ideal for us. Francoise has a love of the Loire having holidayed by it since her youth. She insists on a visit once a year. We managed to drag members of the party to Azay le Rideau and Richelieu but it was not easy to get them away from the attractions of Grazay. Our 40th anniversary was celebrated at a lunch at the Auberge de Jable. They had set up a table for us under the vines. The food was delicious. Thankyou for the recommendation, indeed the owners were very happy that you had sent us to them. Your hospitality is much appreciated. Fabian and his wife too were most helpful. All the best

Hello Philip, The chateau was extremely comfortable. Everything down to the kitchenware was high spec. The particular highlights for me were the tennis court, and the pool being heated at a constant 28 degrees meant swimming was possible at all hours. The caretakers are a real asset for you, charming as anything and so helpful. It’s an extremely stylish property and the on-site facilities are such a bonus. This is a superb property, which represented very good value for money, in a beautiful part of the Loire. Hope to return.
