Ann and Sean welcomed us warmly to their lovely B&B in Esvres in the Loire Valley. The B&B is tucked away from busy centres in the Loire, but well situated to explore the beautiful castles and chateaus.

The room was large, spotless and comfortable. Breakfast which is included in the rate was excellent (although some cold meats would have been great to cut through all the wonderful pastries). There was a range of pastries, cereals, cheese and wonderful pastries, some made by Ann herself very early in the morning.

I would love to return to this B&B in the height of summer when I would be able to enjoy the lovely pool and surrounding gardens and do some walking in the surrounding countryside.

The B&B also has an outside kitchen area which is available for use by guests, which I imagine would be most useful in summer if one would like to barbeque.

A lovely peaceful stay and a wonderful place to return to after busy days exploring The Loire and all it has to offer.

Our stay at La Guillotiere was wonderful. Sean and Anne were wonderful hosts who made us feel very welcome. The room was clean, spacious, comfortable and very quiet. The breakfasts were delicious with several choices, including fresh fruit salad, granola, yogurt, French bread and fresh pastries daily. Anne made dinner reservations for us in a nearby village.....and it was excellent!! There were many beautiful areas/castles to visit in the region within a 20 - 25 minute drive away.......Amboise, Chenonceau, and Loches, to mention a few.
Since this B & B is in a quiet, rural area, a car is required.
We certainly enjoyed our stay at La Guillotiere and would highly recommend it!!

My husband and I plus 4 other extended family members stayed with Ann and Sean for 5 nights this September. We were attending a wedding in the area. Our stay was perfect. Ann and Sean are gracious hosts! We had quite a few changes, questions and details to iron out prior to our arrival and Ann was quick to respond and extremely helpful! Her dinner suggestions were spot on. The breakfast selection and presentation was superb. We also visited two local vineyards of her suggestion and thoroughly enjoyed them.
The grounds are beautiful and my daughter enjoyed visiting the sheep and horses along the long driveway. There is a guest kitchen that was great for preparing snacks and chilling wine that we had bought, and then enjoying by the pool. Oh and to top it all off, it is a great value.
Many thanks to Ann and Sean for making our trip memorable. I would definately return here in a heartbeat.
