November 2009

 

Just FANTASTIC !  The Weekend Wine Discovery was everything we were looking forward to, very friendly vineyards, a great selection of wines and extremely interesting to sample the difference in the appellations.  Gérald & Sarah-Jane were fantastic and looked after us as part of the family.  We will be encouraging our friends to come along next time.

Sarah-Jane & Gérald, all the very best withthe new edition on Tuesday and thank you for your fantastic hospitality.

Sarah & Simon, Brighton

 

A genuinely warm family welcome.  Annie's House is a delightful surprise and so obviously well-loved by the owners.  This is apparent by the comfort, layout & personal touches such as the old balck & white photographs of past vignerons.  The bed is lovely & comfortable!!  Thank you so much.

Everything was PERFECT.  Our stay with Sarah-Jane & Gérald was an absolute highlight.  Their warmth, generosity and friendship provided us with a more complete French experience in this beautiful wine region.  Gérald educated us in the art of wine making and his dégustation at La Paleine was an occassion to remember.  The wines were superb, Annie's House was spotless & well appointed, set in the serene setting of Pouançay.  We will return !

So welcoming, we felt like part of the family!  A lovely week, it was home from home and in a beautiful area.  The wine tour with Gérald was excellent, we learnt more about wine during our visit than in the last 30 years visiting France.  Thank you for a wonderful holiday.

Rose & Jeff, Derbyshire

 

Thank you for a lovely week, the location is lovely and the cottage is very beautiful.  Sarah-Jane & Gérald made us feel very welcome and were happy to share their knowledge of the local area which was very useful.  Many thanks for a lovely holiday.

Thank you for an amazing week !  The hospitality has been out of this world.  Beautiful surroundings, great advise for days out and fantastic wine !  What more could we have asked for ?  Really hope to be back soon.

Sarah-Jane, Gérald & Augustin.  Second visit and everything as perfect as the first.  This time the weather improved things further.  Great to get such good accommodation on the long journey home.  See you again.

Sarah-Jane & Gérald extended the warmest of welcomes to Annie's House.  A beautifully renovated & furnished cottage in a peaceful village.  An ideal base from which to tour the Loire and learn about its wines.  Highly recommended.  We look forward to returning !

(Wine Tasting Soirée) A true 'french experience'.  Our second year and not the last!  Wonderful wine, terrifc food and fantastic company.  Wish we could stay longer but not sure our livers can take it!  We will be back and all our friends will be notified.  Sad to be leaving.

Thank you so much for a brilliant stay at Annie's House - we couldn't have been looked after better or have had a better introduction into wine.  Thanks for the caves, delicious wine and strawberries.  Gorgeous weather was the icing on the cake!  We'll be back and telling all our friends!  Thank you again!
