About this property

Rainbow Arch - Lovely Gite in Stunning Surroundings, Les Arches de Muschamp

Rainbow Arch is beautifully restored and finished to a very high standard. Superb lighting, large modern kitchen/living area and underfloor heating for cooler periods are some of the many features of this delightful house, which still retains its attractive white stone and wooden timbers. Attention to detail was a priority in its design, and it also incorporates facilities for people with reduced mobility. There is one bedroom on the first floor with and en suite bathroom. The other larger bedroom is on the ground floor and has a very spacious ensuite bathroom. There is a TV in both bedrooms as well as in the spacious living and dining area. The white stone walled private terrace and garden is ideal for barbeques, relaxing (and ensures that any young children are safely contained!). The terrace area is also well equipped with sun loungers, dining table and chairs plus umbrellas for sunnier days and even a gas heater for the cooler spring and autumn evenings. Sleeps 2 to 6 people

Les Arches de Muschamp are expertly restored original stone buildings set in gently rolling countryside between the historic towns of LOCHES and CHINON. The property is on the edge of a small hamlet just 1 km from the typically French village of CUSSAY. Having undergone a total restoration MUSCHAMP ARCHES has kept all its original charm but has been designed with utmost comfort in mind. Attention to detail is the key and in these properties you should find everything you need in a rental home, done in a style that 'makes you smile'! Even the lighting has been well thought out, so that you can 'enjoy' at whatever time of day.

Outside space is also most important when you are on holiday. The terraces and outdoor areas are superbly equipped. Upmarket comfortable outdoor furniture including tables, chairs, gas barbeque, parasols and sun loungers have all been positioned in the private walled gardens. Plus modern patio heaters are positioned for the cooler evening.

Rental includes no extra hidden charges, all bed linen and towels are provided so on arrival your beds are made up, all you have to do is put down your bags and relax.

The properties have underfloor heating for the cooler months and Angel's Arch has a wood burning stove for cosy autumn/winter evenings. The outdoor patio heaters prolong the outdoor living and there are electric fans if you need to cool off in very hot weather.

Comprehensive guest notes help you quickly find all the local interest sites including recommended restaurants and local festivities. If you need any help to organise a day out, book a restaurant or just generally finding your way around, no problem. There is always assistance available! The owners, Janet & Stephen Scollay, have been living in CUSSAY for some ten years, speak fluent French and have an excellent knowledge of the local area.

Lovely hostess...property tired

The furniture was tired, with a dangerous chest of drawers in the master bedroom and no DVD player in spite of one advertised. Property is comfortable and attractive, but the wi-fi is terrible, with slow connection, dropped service and out of date security protocols. Janet (owner) was very genial and friendly.

Perfekte Unterkunft

Die Unterkunft ist wie auf den Bildern beschrieben, sehr liebevoll eingerichtet und mit allem ausgestattet, was wichtig ist. Zudem ist es sehr ruhig und man kann gut entspannen. Die Vermieterin ist sehr sympathisch, diskret und hilfsbereit. Die Lage ist perfekt um von hier die wunderschönen Schlösser der Loire zu erkunden.

Relaxation amidst the fields

The cottage was beautifully presented with all the comforts that you could want for a relaxing holiday. The facilities were first rate with two bathrooms and a well fitted kitchen area. Outside the tables and chairs were great spot to eat and the barbecue a useful feature. We spit our holiday between visiting chateaux and relaxing at the cottage. Our children particularly liked having the gym available to use. Overall a very enjoyable and restful place to stay.

Lovely quiet spot out in the country

Very clean, spacious, well equipped and not far to drive to the Loire's best chateaux. Lovely welcome from Janet who gave us so much useful advice for visits during our stay, that we didn't have enough time to visit her horses or use the fitness room enough ! Recommended…
