La Bihourderie
Overview
La Bihourderie is a farmhouse full of character. Its architecture is typical of the Tourangelle region and it is situated in the midst of a wooded park of 5000 m². Situated in the quietness of the open countryside its history dates back to the 13th century when it was once home to the Bohors who trained knights for jousting tournaments.
In the beginning of the 1990's it was renovated and converted to a bed and breakfast. In 2007 it underwent a second wave of renovations to enlarge the existing guestrooms on the ground floor and to create two new ones on the first floor. It is in these new spacious and comfortable rooms that we invite you to come and taste the pleasures of central France.
La Bihourderie is located in the heart of the Loire valley at only a few kilometres from the major chateaux of the Loire Valley. An ideal location to visit a region rich in culture and heritage beyond compare. You can, at leisure, explore the châteaux (castles) of the Loire, the homes of writers like Balzac, Descartes, Ronsard and Rabelais and also the numerous abbeys and gardens of the Loire Valley. Touraine has several outdoor activities to offer too, numerous cycling trails, canoeing, horseback riding, ULM, helicopter tours etc…
The garden offers you the perfect setting to relax in. Enjoy a game of boules or an afternoon lazing in the hammock or in the garden chairs on the terrace overlooking the sunflower or wheat fields.
A hearty breakfast awaits you every morning, served in our dining room or weather permitting, in the garden. Fresh bread, croissants, homemade jams, fruit, cereals, yoghurts, fruit juice and a choice of hot beverages. Breakfast is served between 8.30am and 9.30am.
There is a large choice of restaurants situated within 15 minutes of the house offering food for all tastes and budgets.
There is also the possibility of bringing food back to the guesthouse and using the kitchen area to reheat or cook a meal. A microwave, fridge and two hot plates are provided at no extra charge.

SUGGESTIONS FOR REVIEWERS
Describe the key elements of the accommodations : decor, hospitality, value, housekeeping, setting, and/or meals. What were the highlights of your stay? A comfortable bed and elegant decor? The convenient location? The delicious breakfasts and afternoon snacks? The hospitality of the innkeepers? Extra amenities and/or advice for business or vacation travel? If in the area again, would you return? Recommend to friends?
Be both honest and fair : We feature various types of accommodation - some more luxurious than others ... Criteria of charm vary from person to person
We offer a wide selection of quality guesthouses for all tastes and budgets
It is not fair to compare a guesthouse that charges €75 a night with a nearby property that charges double or triple that rate.
Things can go wrong in the best of guesthouses, and the difference between an average place and a great one is how the innkeepers address the problem when something unexpected occurs.
Avoid hyperbole : Reviews that include only effusive praise or complete condemnation are rarely helpful or even credible.
Innkeeper responses : There are at least two sides to every story (often three!). The reviews posted on the Charming Guest Rooms website are taken seriously by innkeepers.
We reserve the right for innkeepers to respond to any review.
