About this property

Well Appointed Gite near Beauval Zoo

Welcome to Gite Marsolie, a newly-refurbished, architect-designed well appointed self-catering gite for up to 6 adults and 2 children in 3 en-suite bedrooms near to the busy rural village of Ecueille in the Loire Valley.

The gite is in a peaceful hamlet of five houses and enjoys its own outdoor spaces with tables and chairs to suit your first coffee of the day from the gite's Nespresso machine or a full meal prepared in the gite kitchen, fully equipped with Bosch fan-oven, Bosch induction hob, full-size Bosch dishwasher and Samsung microwave. A large fridge/freezer provides space for everything from food, wine and beer to ice-creams on those long hot sunny afternoons.

All three large ensuite bedrooms (two on the ground floor) are furnished with king size Hypnos mattresses and toppers. An additional single bed can be provided in two of the bedrooms, if required, for two children, and a cot for a baby.

The open plan kitchen, dining and living area is very convivial to family life. The underfloor heating throughout the ground floor ensures the gite is always warm and welcoming.

Activities nearby range from horse riding, walking and cycling to wine-tasting, historical exploration and enjoying the hugely varied scenery in this area. Visits to Chateaux, Beauval Park Zoo and the Brenne National Park provide further entertainment.

Very nice stay at the Edwards
We had a lovely stay in Ecueille. Mark and Sophie are the sweetest, warm welcome, extremely nice, happy to help, they leave very detailed explanations and directions for the house and to visit the region, they even helped us find a restaurant. The house is perfect for 6 guests with its 3 indepedent bathrooms, very well equipped for babies and toddler. Beds and mattresses are incredible. Region is great as there are many things to do (so many castles, zoo, wineries....). Would definitely recommend a stay at the Edwards!!

propreté impeccable
La maison est bien proportionnée avec de grandes chambres et de grands lieux de vie. Tout est neuf et donc en excellent état. L'accueil est sincère et chaleureux, merci beaucoup pour les cadeaux à notre arrivée! Seule suggestion changer la porte car elle laisse passer l'air (mais il fait bon dans la maison quand meme et le coussin devant la porte fait l'affaire) et le fait qu'elle s'ouvre en deux n'est pas très pratique. Tout est sécurisé pour des enfants en bas age et il y avait meme deux chaises hautes pour nos jumelles... la région mérite un le détour bref je recommande vivement cette location

Très belle rénovation pour ce gite près du zoo de Beauval
Nous avons passé une très belle semaine de toussaint dans ce gite très spacieux avec 3 grandes chambres et salles de bain. Les enfants étaient ravis de l espace. Sophie et Mark sont des hôtes charmants.

Idyllic
In a quiet location with a couple of other properties next door. A wonderfully clean 3 bedroom, all ensuite Gite. Renovated to an incredibly high standard with all the mod cons you could need. Simply beautiful.

Luxurious
We had a lovely holiday. Lots to do in the area - highlights were wine tasting and the zoo. The house is new and everything is top of the range. The beds are the best we have ever had in a rented house - thank you for the details. Totally recommend

About the host

Hosted by Sophie Edwards

Host profile image
Sophie was fortunate enough to live and work in Central & Eastern Europe and Sweden and enjoyed a career in Human Resources. Mark ran a company providing IT support to small companies and worked throughout the UK and Europe. We had the opportunity to follow our dream in 2015. We searched for a home in France and were lucky enough to find the old farm.

Why they chose this property

One of the barns had already been converted in the 1970s and whilst it needed updating, it was habitable. We were able to move into the barn and concentrate on restoring the original farmhouse to create the gite.

There is a lot to do in the area and this attracted us to the property. The large, famous chateaux of the Loire are less than an hours drive away. But we prefer the smaller chateaux which are closer to us, such as Montresor and Valencay which are about 10-15 minutes drive away. There is also a steam train based in the village, and Beauval ZooParc is just a short drive away. The Brenne National Park is south of us and the bird watching is superb. The village is very well serviced with two boulangeries, a butcher, small supermarket, cash point, petrol station, pharmacy and a few restaurants.

What makes this property unique

The double height ceiling in the main salon shows off the original structure of the barn. We also love the oak staircase which was made for us by a local artisan. There is lots of insulation in the property and underfloor heating throughout the ground floor. The ensuite bathrooms are well appointed with a large bath in one, a rainshower in the wetroom and a large shower cubicle in the upstairs ensuite.
