5 Grande Rue

Absolutely magnificent. Enough cannot be said about our wonderful stay in 5 Grande Rue. Where to start… the hosts are possibly the friendliest, most accommodating people you will ever meet. Lori & Gavin not only offered their advice on fantastic places to visit and dine at but were at our every beck and call. Breakfast was included in our 5 day stay, which was amazing and beautifully presented at a large communal table in the dining room. The pool was heated and open at our request, as I like to swim a little earlier and later than most! Their warm and approachable atmosphere made us feel right at home. The decor in room 1 is quaint and quirky, giving it real character and the bed is so comfortable it was difficult to get out of every morning! The entire house is spotless and well taken care of, the rooms are extremely clean and comfortable with a dressing table, large mirrors, large wardrobes, hairdryer, fan, WiFi and even the option of Netflix on the Television for those cosy nights in. We have already scheduled our next stay here for the following year. I cannot recommend Lori & Gavin highly enough, they made our short stay here in Le Lude even more magical with their friendly faces and warm hearts.

A beautiful setting behind the large wooden gates. The welcome was very friendly and a cool glass was soon in hand. Breakfast was to die for and the selection of fruit and breads were wonderful. We even had ripe juicy figs from their own tree!!

5 Grande Rue is a most beautifully restored and preserved townhouse stocked with period furnishings and military memorabilia belonging to the owners. The newly installed pool is the perfect temperature and the best place to relax after a day behind the wheel. Despite the age of the building, the rooms are luxurious and the bathrooms spacious, modern, and the plumbing works! Gavin and Lori are the most incredible hosts. They served us aperos at the pool (charged at cost), made a restaurant reservation for us and were always available with a smile to provide any assistance required. We enjoyed our stay so much that we booked again on the return leg, when we were lucky enough to eat in and enjoyed a fabulous three course meal of gazpacho, slow-cooked pork and apple crumble. Huge breakfasts are provided, a volonte, including Lori's home-cooked banana bread. We shall definitely be back, thank you Gavin and Lori.
