The house

  • Quiet, rural area with some agricultural activity

La Laiterie is a wonderful conversion of the old milking parlour at Le Bouchet, an ancient farm nestling in the beautiful wooded countryside, close to the small market town of Descartes with its shops, bars and restaurants.
Renovated to a very high standard and sleeping up to 10 people, La Laiterie provides the perfect accommodation to make sure you get the very best from your holiday.
On the ground floor there is a large open plan living area with a fully equipped farmhouse kitchen, dining area with large table seating 10 and a comfortable lounge area with Wifi, Satellite TV and French doors leading out to your own private fenced garden. Also on the ground floor is a large double bedroom conveniently located adjacent to the family sized bathroom with shower, separate bath, sink and toilet. There is also a utility room with another toilet and washing machine.
Upstairs there are three good sized bedrooms, a double, twin single and a very large bedroom with four single beds – all with air conditioning units, fans and hairdryers. There is also a bathroom with shower, sink and toilet. Cots and highchairs are available together with a stairgate if required.
Outside, your large sunny garden looks out towards a small fenced lake that provides the perfect environment for the wildlife and birdlife here at Le Bouchet. Equipped with sun loungers, pergola, table, chairs and BBQ your garden is the perfect place to take advantage of the weather and enjoy the outdoor lifestyle.
From your garden you have access to the rest of the gardens at Le Bouchet where you will find the large shared heated pool and terrace, picnic benches and children’s play area with swing, slide, climbing frame and goals for a game of football.
For your security and peace of mind, the pool is fenced with pool entry points protected by pool security locks to prevent any toddler wandering in by accident.

    Voor een familie van 7 is dit echt een super gite geweest voor ons.

    Een lekkere grote tuin en een heerlijk zwembad, ondanks het sobere weer, hebben we heerlijk kunnen genieten van de faciliteiten van deze gite. Alles is aanwezig van handdoeken tot aan de knoflookpers. In tegenstelling tot andere gites heeft deze wel goed liggende matrassen en geen harde. We waren blij met de mobiele airco's en de ventilatoren op alle slaapkamers, al hebben we er geen van gemaakt omdat het niet warm was, maar in elk geval een grote plus! Wifi was niet zo als we gewend zijn in NL maar er is genoeg te doen zonder wifi. De verhuurders zijn hele aardige Engelse mensen en zullen je ten alle tijde helpen.

    Er is op 5 min rijden een Intermaché maar als je kunt is de boulangerie zeker aan te raden voor de dagelijkse baguettes.

    Al met al een top gite met alle faciliteiten op een top lokatie waar het heerlijk stil is net buiten Descartes.

    Heel prettig verblijf gehad. Mooie en verzorgde locatie. En erg vriendelijke verhuurders. Aanrader.

    Ondanks Corona hadden wij hier een zalig verblijf in onze vakantiebubbel met kinderen en kleinkinderen. Het zwembad was top, de rust eveneens. Het ruime huis heeft voldoende kamers en de airco boven was zeer welkom. We hebben ook genoten van enkele mooie fietstochtjes in de buurt. Een aanrader ! Groetjes Dirk en Lutgarde en familie uit Lier.

Restaurants, food & wine

RESTAURANTS
There are many, many restaurants ranging in style and price to choose from, from the Michelin starred "La Promenade" restaurant at Petit Pressigny right to the small but very pleasant restaurant, Assiette Creuse, in Descartes and every other type in between - around Le Bouchet you will find something for everyone.
Our gite has a list of local restaurants with indications of pricing and of course we are always happy to book a table for you.
WINE
Wine of course features highly in the Touraine, with soft reds and crisp white wines and some rather delicious sparkling Vouvray wines! With the Tufa caves along the Loire ideal for storing wine there are many different wine tours (many in English) that are arranged providing the opportunity to sample a glass or two.

Activities

Ideally situated near to the medieval town of Loches and mid-way between Tours and Poitiers, Le Bouchet is in an ideal location to get out and about to see what our region has to offer. There is plenty to see and do locally, including kayaking on the river Creuse, a water park in Descartes, the museum and Chateau in Grand Pressigny, horse riding and of course walking and cycling in the very quiet and peaceful French countryside. Further afield, as well as all the pretty villages in the area, many of the Loire Chateaux are within easy reach of Le Bouchet; the theme park at Futuroscope is just 40 minutes away; the Brenne National Park and the Wildlife Park at Haute Touche are both within 25 minutes and we even have a large sandy beach only 30 minutes away at Saint Cyr!!!
