About this property
A spectacular house set in grounds so beautiful they've been regularly used as filming locations, Le Lierre Cottage is sure to give you a real taste of true luxury French living.
This charming and unique property offers guests the chance to live in peaceful and relaxing surroundings that have been honed with loving care by generations of the same family, who have owned the property for nearly 300 years. From the 17th to the mid 19th century, Le Lierre Cottage was primarily a wine property, incorporating vineyards and a winemaker's house - a heritage that's still very much in evidence to this day.
The property is located in an expansive rural area including a wood, pool, and topiary garden. The cottage benefits from its own entrance and a garage, while the pool is shared with Frédérique and Rémi, the property's owners, who live nearby in the master house with their dog. At any time of year, the cottage is exceptionally cosy and comfortable - there's a lot to be said for looking into a longer winter rent here, where you can really explore and appreciate everything the amazing region around Loiret has to offer.
The cottage is located in a small city on the River Loire (one of the last untamed rivers in Europe) and is only 7 km from the beautiful medieval city of Orleans. You'll find everything you need to make your stay comfortable within easy walking distance, including a bakery, a supermarket, a butchers, bars and restaurants.
A regular tram line will get you straight to the center of Orleans, which makes Le Lierre Cottage the perfect base from which you can visit and explore the Loire Valley and its beautiful chateaux, vineyards, cathedrals and old villages. The cottage also benefits from being only 1 hour away from both Paris and Versailles by train or car.

We had a lovely stay in the adorable Le Lierre Cottage! We loved all the lived-in, cozy touches that make this place feel like home. We ended up spending one night in Chinon, and both of us felt homesick for this cottage that night. Thank you for creating a magical getaway.

A lovey week in this fantastic cottage. Thank you for your help with taxis, restaurants, and recommendations for things to do with children! The welcome pack was fantastic too: we‘ve never stayed anywhere so well provisioned and generous. The cottage information book was the best we have had. We had everything we needed. Thanks!
