Huisseau-sur-Cosson Homestays

As we drove through the gates of Chateau des Grotteaux we were greeted by a carpet of cyclamen flowering in the woodland adjacent to the drive. A delightful small chateau owned by Gael and Cecile who were happy to chat and tell us about the local area and history of the building. We stayed for two nights and each morning there was a delicious buffet breakfast, fresh fruits, yoghurts, various cheeses and homemade jams of course with fresh bread and croissants. Our room, Zeus, was spotlessly clean, lovely crisp white bedlinen and a large ensuite bathroom. Views from the bedroom window across fields towards the river and in the distance we spotted several hot air balloons over the Loire valley. My friend Julie and I decided to head for Chateau de Cheverny which was well worth a visit and only about a 20 min drive away. Much larger Chateau de Chambord is only a 5 min drive. We would definitely highly recommend Chateau des Grotteaux and hope to visit again on our next trip to the Loire valley.
