Overall: We had a superb week with everyone mixing marvellously. Enjoyed Most: The situation is magnificent. The opportunity to either do things cycling, tennis, table tennis, swim or just relax. Enjoyed Least: The cook top was difficult. We ate in most of the time and did overcome it but the gas part of it is difficult. Also, it is sad that the 3 upper bedrooms have a shower room between 3 bedrooms. You need to watch the plumbing as taps can come off in your hand. Surrounding Area: The 2 rivers, the Loire and the Vienne are really nice. The towns of Chinon and Saumur are also lovely to walk around. Nearby Events or Locales: There is Beamont but it is not really a town. The nearest town is Chinon which is 10 minutes by car. Tips or Restaurants: There are many restaurants and French food is justifiably regarded as the best. The supermarkets are well stocked and cover most things you need.
