Situated on the outskirts  (within 10mins walking time) of the market town of La Chatre in Central France, “La Maison Rose” is a uniquely styled one bedroomed, luxury cottage which sleeps two people.  The elevated south facing 'sunroom' which overlooks the garden and river is a lovely place to sit at any time of the day. The comfortable kitchen is very well equipped with an electric range cooker, microwave, toaster, kettle, iron and ironing board, and ample crockery and cutlery. Tea towels are provided. Upstairs there is a stylish bathroom and a bedroom which overlooks open countryside.  

The cottage is set in a large mature garden bordered by the River Indre.  

All linen is included in the price.     
Due to the layout of the property we regret that it is unsuitable for young children or the infirm. 
The river is deep and there is no barrier between it and the garden.

This is a pet free and smoke free property.

On your arrival you will be warmly welcomed by Phil and/or Tracy 
our caretakers.

The town of La Chatre has numerous bars, restaurants (French, Italian, Chinese), patisseries, charcuteries, boutiques etc. Market day (Saturday) turns the normally quiet town in to a buzz of activity as people arrive from miles around. There are also 3+ good supermarkets to choose from, one within walking distance of the cottage. La Chatre has an indoor/outdoor swimming pool. The village of Nohant is only 5minutes drive away and was the home of George Sand the female author whose friends included Chopin (her lover), Berlioz and Delacroix to name a few. Her chateau and garden are open to the public and Nohant hosts many musical events. The surrounding countryside is flat and ideal for walking or cycling. There are many pretty little villages nearby to explore - the picturesque towns of Argenton-sur-Creuse, St Gautier, Gargilesse to name a few.     There are beautiful lakes and chateaux nearby (Sarzay, St Chartier and Culan all within 20 minutes drive) and the Brenne National Parc, famous for birdwatching, is only 50 minutes away. 
The nearest city is Chateauroux which has direct trains to Paris.

Would recommend to anyone."    Peter - Rugby Just wanted to say a big thank you for letting us borrow your beautiful house in La Chatre at such short notice.  We were desperate to get away and have a relaxing time and thats just what we did.  My husband loved the fishing and caught a couple of really big fish. We loved the whole area and didn't want to come home.Larraine - Ipswich  2009 Just wanted to say what a wonderful holiday we had in your cottage.  We had a couple of rainy days where we lounged in the house and the rest of the week was scorching hot - so we lounged in the garden! Your garden was lovely and relaxing, we saw lots of butterflies, lizards, frogs bats, and birds.  We saw the coypu twice and saw an owl too.  The house was even more gorgeous than we imagined and it was lovely sitting in the garden room in the evening with the windows open and a glass of wine.Mark & Mandy - Notts   2009
