Very good base for exploring the area

La Magnanerie is a comfortable property that we enjoyed. The location is excellent and it is possible to see many parts of the L'Ardeche if you are adventurous. The property is clean and well-equipped. The host Jane was welcoming and is very knowledgeable about the local area. There is a road outside that is noisiest in the mornings but we were not overly disturbed. This property does have low beams in places upstairs so probably best not recommend for tall people. Otherwise a great choice.

Nettes, niedriges Haus...

Eigentlich ein nettes, kleines Haus, allerdings ist die Deckenhöhe im oberen Bereich fragwürdig niedrig und für Menschen über 165 cm eher nicht geeignet. Außerdem fehlt ein größerer Spiegel und ein Schrank bzw. ein paar Haken zum Aufhängen von Kleidung. Das Geschirr war... knappund zusammengesucht.

Wunderschöner Aufenthalt mit Einschränkungen

Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt in dem Ferienhaus und die Vermieterin Jane war extrem nett und zuvorkommend. Leider ist das Bad/WC winzig und durch die Dachschräge kaum nutzbar, kein Spiegel und für Personen > 1,70m (!) definitiv sehr unbequem. Die direkt anliegende Strasse ist leider morgens/tagsüber sehr laut, so dass wir nur mit geschlossenem Fenster geschlafen haben. Ansonsten abends tolle Aussicht vom überdachten Freisitz und insgesamt gute Lage.

Gute Ausgangslage, super schönes Haus, gute Ausstattung, freundliche Vermieter

Das Haus hat einen großen Wohn-/Essbereich und ein uriges Schlafgeschoss, in dem Erwachsene den Kopf einziehen müssen. Betten sind aber auch für große Menschen geeignet ;-). Wir haben vor allem alles, was mit dem Fluß Le Chassesac zusammenhänght gemacht (Baden, Wandern, Kanu, etc.) Die Ardeche selbst war im August doch sehr überlaufen. Hierfür war dei Ausgangslage der Wohnung fantastisch.

Beautiful

To keep it short: We liked it very much! The house was very cozy, had everything we needed for our one-week vacation and looked just beautiful. We slept very well and in absolute silence - which is extremely nice when living in a metropolitan area. The mountainside around is astonishingly beautiful, as well as the small villages everywhere. Also we can highly recommend nightly strolls to see the most beautiful starlight sky. Jane is the best host, she was very accomodating after our 14h ride and is just a nice person. Thanks again for making our small trip very uncomplicated! Sincerely Jannik, Barbora, Felix and Sebastian

à éviter

Rien dans cette annonce ne permettait de savoir que la location était à 1 M du bord d'ne RD très fréquentée, ni que la belle terrasse ne pouvait être utilisée en raison des odeurs d'égoût en provenance de l'assainissement individuel; rien ne précisait que dans la chambre et l'exigüe cabinet de toilette il fallait se déplacer plié en deux sous peine de heurter les poutres. Impossible de se reposer!! Dommage, car hôtes sympa, ameublement et électro-ménager de qualité

Super terrasse avec vue sympathique.

Très bon séjour en Ardèche, la maison est en bord de route mais bien située pour la découverte de l''Ardèche. Salon cosy, cuisine fonctionnelle, super terrasse avec une belle vue sur vignes et monts. Je suggérerai de mettre des petits stores aux fenêtres des chambres et la climatisation à l' étage pour les fortes chaleurs. Propriétaire très gentille et réactive lorsque nous avons besoin.

Si vous faites plus de 1,60 ! et que vous appécier le calme....

...chercher une autre offre. L'emplacement au bord de la D104 très passante ne convient pas aux vacanciers recherchant le calme...dommage car l'autre côté de la maison est très agréable. Nous avons aussi payé de notre personne pour les poutres de l'étage, dans les chambres et dans la salle de bains, en nous cognant, à chaque fois que nous redressions un peu. Les environs sont très agréables, et nous avons fait en sorte de passer le maximum de temps à l'extérieur... C'est la première fois que nous somme déçus par une location....On ne peut pas gagner à tous les coups !!!!

Avons apprécié: le calme pour se reposer, regarder les étoiles la nuit depuis la terrasse, être près de beaux villages (vallon pont d’arc, Baluzac, Largentiere, Joyeuse ..) - pour en nommer juste quelques uns - et faire de belles randonnées - Les propriétaires ne sont pas loin si besoin de quoique ce soit.

Great place for a base in the Ardeche region

Our whole family enjoyed our stay at the house from Jane and Alan very much. The house is very well equipped with everything we needed - we enjoyed our breakfast and dinner very much on the big balcony. It was a perfect base for our day trips in the Ardeche area. We're thinking to come back to this place once more. Thanks alot for your hospitality.

About the host

Hosted by Jane Marston, Gites Marston Ardeche

Host profile image
My husband worked as an architect in Cumbria for twenty seven years but always wanted to do something more physical in the sunshine. We had already bought La Petite Grange which we imagined we would retire into. In 2009 Alan had the chance to do something different, so he moved to the Ardèche with a view to building and converting properties which we would run as gites. He lived in La Petite Grange whilst he restored it and we then bought the other part of the building, La Magnanerie, from our neighbour so that we could let out La Petite Grange and live in La Magnanerie whilst we built our new home. Alan spent the next year converting La Magnanerie and we lived there very happily for two years before moving into our new house in the summer of 2013. He has since been involved in renovating and building another gite at the other side of the village, La Maison des Charrettes, which has its own exclusive pool and garden.

Why they chose this property

It is light and airy with fantastic views in all directions and just a wonderful place to live.

What makes this property unique

When we first walked into La Magnanerie we could see a beautiful space with shafts of light coming through the (then rotten) shutters. Opening them up was a magical moment as the space was so light and airy, with wonderful views.
An old stove was rusted up against a wall. The owner told us how his family had been evacuated to La Magnanerie during the war and the stove was his mother's only source for cooking and heating water. He kindly gave us the stove which we have since cleaned up and is in the living area.
We have since converted La Magnanerie and lived there for two years. The first floor has a feeling of light, openness and space and the terrace provides a large outside space with lovely views (and particularly lovely sunsets). Upstairs is more cosy with limited headroom.
