Beautiful Cottage with Heated Pool Near Parcay les Pins, Maine-et-Loire - Le Poulet

Luxury Self-Catering Cottages and B&B accommodation in the Loire Valley.

Welcome to La Poulerie, our paradise found. Set amidst apple orchards and nearby pine forests, close to the picturesque village of Parcay les Pins in the beautiful Loire Valley. La Poulerie as the name implies was at one time a chicken farm.

We bought our property in 1992. After converting the mud floor barn into our home, we were able to move over to France in October 1993, shortly after this we opened our Bed & Breakfast business.

In 1995 our first two cottages, Le Poussin (2 people) and Le Poulet (4 people) were open and ready to receive guests. These cottages are just across the main courtyard from our house, they were the original farmers cottages at La Poulerie.

The property is set on an acre of land with an attractive courtyard and garden.

All of our cottages have use of our private 11m x 5m heated swimming pool and surrounding sunbathing area with sun beds, solar shower and covered patio with tables and chairs. The pool is treated with salt therefore is kind to young and sensitive skins

Please note: Un-accompanied children under 16 years are not allowed in or around the swimming pool. Thank you.

LE POULET:- 

This cottage was the original habitable part of our property. The ground floor is a large open plan room with a “ Tuffeau” fireplace with wood burner and characterful black and white chequered floor, not original, but never the less was laid over 190 years ago when the original fireplace and bread oven was removed, and replaced with that of today. The room retains its original oak beams which we have had sandblasted to bring them back to their natural beauty. You will find a kitchen area with fridge / freezer, microwave, gas hob and electric oven, toaster, along with all the necessary items / equipment you would need, along with a pine dining table and chairs, and antique oak sideboard. In the lounge area you will find a large 3 seater sofa, 2 seater sofa and chair, with coffee table. On the antique oak chest there is a television with English tv channels, dvd player, Bluetooth Speaker, Hi Fi and C.D player. There is also large selection of books, that guests may choose to read; Wi-fi access is available, with USB charge points.
