Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andy H., Warrington UK 23 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful gite with a view of the bridge Spacious and comfortable. The interior decoration is great and so stylish. Kitchen and bathroom are exactly as you want them with the most powerful shower ever! Loved the small and secluded decking area which gave a view of the old bridge across the Cher and of the village church. Selles Sur Cher is a quiet pretty village with a few shops that includes a bakery selling very tasty cakes and bread. We visited that every day. The market on a Thursday is quite large and had some great local produce. Honey and goats cheese are good in the area. A great base to explore the Cher and Loire areas. Very friendly owners who were warm and welcoming. We often met them in the garden of the house which is full of flowers and plants. ##### Andy H.
