La Grange de Léonie, Chambres d'hôtes Avec Piscine et Spa

My family of 4 just spent 8 nights here as part of our vacation in France. We had the entire barn to ourselves, including a private spa. The barn is three bedrooms, each with toilet and shower, an adjacent room to the three bedrooms with an extra toilet. And then you have the large common room. You either rent the whole barn, or a room. The common room has a dining area, large kitchen, a tv area and a small reception area. The bedrooms. I have absolutely nothing negative to point out here. Each have their own design, but the rooms are all designwise well connected. It's functional. It's beautiful. These rooms are very very nice. Everything here has been handpicked. Someone even went out of their way to add a velcro closure, so you could connect the curtain covering the terrasse door to the wall. So you could more effeciently block out the sunlight. Each room has a tv, and you can easlily connect your device to watch Netflix or something. But what am I talking about; you don't wanna watch Netflix. You want to go to the pool. The pool. Works just fine. Large enough. They even have pool toys that you can use. Not sure where I want to go here, but it worked for us at that time. The common room. The kitchen and the dining area works perfectly. The kitchen has everything you need, including a nice coffee machine. Now, you could arrive at a place that is complete peeled of everything. But not here. We were invited to use the common items that you find in a kitchen. Coffee, tea, sugar, spices and so on. I know that I payed for it (at some level), but I didn't expect these items to be available. So I thought it was a nice gesture. The host. The couple that runs the place are very nice and caring. An example of this. We were headed out to visit the Chambord castle. Outside the house we have a quick chat with one of the hosts. The host sends us well on our way, but before we leave the grounds, the host stops us (we are in the car now) and gives us further tips for our trip. The host didn't have to do this. We had already been sent well of on our way, but the host went out of her way to give us something extra. Nice. What I missed. Now don't get me wrong. This place is great. It's a very nice retreat. This is me nitpicking. Two things. No. 1. The floor in the common room is bare concrete (or something similar to that effect). That's very practical when the common room serves as a buffet kitchen when you've rented out three rooms, but I would prefer another solution. No. 2. I am missing a large comfortable couch, or comfortable resting chairs in the common room. You've got a nice tv, but the seating arrangement is not good. Watch two episides of The Office, and hit the jacuzzi. Or you could curl up together in one of the beds in one of the rooms, and watch your show there in stead. That's your solution. But when you want to sit down and relax together as a famliy after a 12000 step day to a town and a castle, you've only got the dining chairs.

Arrived quite late for a one night stay en route to Limoges in late June. Tired after overnight flight from Australia via Dubai. The hostess Mathilde was absolutely the best at accommodating us with soup, bread, cheese, biscuits and wine in the main building's kitchen. She was very friendly and spoke excellent English. Had a lovely night's sleep followed by a beautiful cooked breakfast and decent coffee! The place is a delight - an old barn that belonged to her husband's grandmother which had been relocated to their delightful property in Mery sur Cher. Bed and room absolutely comfortable and food excellent. Highly recommended.
