A truly unique place
We were a group of 3 families (6 adults, 7 children) and had a wonderful week at La Haute Porte last summer - it's the sort of place you could stay for weeks and only need to go out as you've run out of supplies, the grounds are huge and there are so many onsite activities to do. The house itself is enormous with several indoor sitting rooms and a large indoor dining area that we used quite a lot due to the rainy weather that week. The pool area is absolutely superb, surrounded by a variety of fruit trees and is very safe for children as it has an electric cover and is gated and locked with a key. There is also a basement laundry area that came in very handy. The sleeping accommodation is plentiful mainly on the first floor with seven bedrooms and 3 bath/shower rooms - perfect for us as 3 families. There is also a second floor with 2 further (adjoining) bedrooms, one with a sink in it but there is no toilet up there. The house is filled with memories from past trips around the world, almost like museum exhibits, none of us had ever stayed anywhere like it before and the children have made lifelong memories! We want to particularly thank Noemie and her uncle who really looked after us and made us all so welcome - extremely helpful but with no intrusion at all.

Excellent Stay
The house couldn't have been better for our group of family and friends! We enjoyed the town of Sable sur Sarthe, went for cruises, and found that so many interesting items were only one to one and a half hour away. It was also enjoyable just to wander the grounds and explore with a glass of wine in hand. The meals prepared by Dominique were wonderful, and I would highly reccomend them to other guests. Make sure that you bring home enough wines from your wine tastings to accompany the excellent meals. This is a perfect and rustic staging point for the exploration of the Loire Valley. 10/10 for our family

Beautiful location and house
We had a fantastic stay. The facilities and equipment was all there to use, and for a large party of 19 people it suited us brilliantly. We could all dine inside when the weather was bad as well as plenty of room outside. The artefacts and art in rooms is very quirky, but everyone eventually got used to it. But for animal lovers it was hard to see all the hunting trophies of beasts from around the globe. Horns, skeleton, skulls, taxidermy (even full size elephant tusks). All very fascinating but also challenging. It gave us plenty to talk about, with new discoveries every day. The place is a living museum to a bygone era. Once you reconcile it as such the place is an exceptional and tranquil place to spend time with family and friends. It has a fantastic pool area and acres of woodland to explore and lawns to play on. It’s hard to fault it but comes with a health warning that some may find it a bit too much!
