Owners: Nigel and Freydis Campbell, Inverness, Scotland
Our affection for this part of France dates back to 1979.
We were lucky enough to live near Prunay for two years while Nigel worked as director for a small company in Tours. Our two boys, then aged 4 and 6, went to the local school and soon became fluent in French which has held them in good stead ever since.
Before returning to the UK we spotted this farmhouse for sale and became the proud owners of a derelict property in 1982. Over the subsequent summers we dedicated our holidays to La Chapelle, and had great fun converting the 2 room house, cow byre, stables, dairy, piggery, hay barn and attics into a habitable holiday house. The swimming pool, gardens, orchard and little wood were added during the intervening years. We have just completed a new tennis court which is availble for guests.
Needless to say, renovating and improvements to a property like this are never-ending and we have just completed the transformation of our small barn into attractive additional accommodation.
Random reviews from our guests
Weather was great for our stay and we had a lovely holiday. Garden was lovely, obviously very well cared for, and a delight to be in. CB London
