Guest reviews for Different Holidays
"Atmospheric, amazing views. The boat feels larger than the pictures suggest - the living room was great for us to hang out as a group. Beds were comfortable. The boat was always warm, the heating is strong, and the tap water is drinkable coming directly from the house."
"The second bedroom is quite small for adults, better for kids."
"Beautiful setting and well equipped. Parking is roadside, but we didn't find it hard. The view is terrific and it was lovely to sit on the decking, in privacy, facing the river. We cancelled some of our sightseeing just to enjoy hanging out here"
"No issues really. The weather was hot, but the fans kept it cool. Be aware you need to scramble down an embankment path to reach it, fine for us, even with cases, but perhaps not for anyone with mobility concerns"
"Unique accommodation in an amazing location, saw a kingfisher a couple of times. Easy to walk into Saumur."
"Difficult to sit outside undercover when it rained"
"Lovely location, right on the Loire with a spectacular view of the Chateau and the old town. A short walk across the bridge to get to the old town center. The property is fully fixed to the shore so does not move with the water. It has all amenities — a fully stocked kitchen with stove, coffee machine, pans, plates etc; shower and toilet etc, beds were comfortable."
"At the end of summer, there are millions of little flying insects on the Loire — it is unavoidable to have a substantial quantity of them in the property if you open a window or door as there are no fly screens. No mosquitoes though!"
"La totalité : l’emplacement, le paysage, l’hospitalité, la péniche!"
"Rien du tout, hormis la péniche restaurant d’en face qui faisait la fête très tard mais ça nos hôtes ni peuvent absolument rien!"
"L’emplacement parfait sur la Loire, vue imprenable sur le château de Saumur. Très bon accueil, très bons conseils des propriétaires."

"Przemili i pomocni gospodarze. Lokalizacja w centrum miasta, możliwość spędzenia czasu na wodzie z przepięknym widokiem na zamek i okolice. Świetna alternatywa dla tych, którzy lubią nietypowe rozwiązania. Pełne wyposażenie, dostęp do bieżącej, ciepłej wody. Kuchnia w pełni wyposażona, wygodne łóżka. Gorąco polecam."

"Great hotel..not too big so atmosphere was nice and calm.Wonderful pool..lovely restaurant with stunning panoramic view. I would definitely recommend it for a moment of calm and relaxation."
Susan L'Estirado des Adrets
"Everything! The really warm, friendly and personalised welcome. The room was spatious, thoughtfully decorated and very clean. The shower was wonderful. The pool temperature was perfect. The location was right on our route. And the breakfast was genuinely the best we've ever had. It's so good that even if it wasn't on our route we'd amend it to go past to stay in future. I cannot recommend this very lovely place enough!"
Jessica Clos De La Gourmandière
"We were happy to find a quite place. And we received a very warm wellcome."
"Irazabala is tucked away in a beautiful and quiet part of the French basque region. Paul is a great guy and knows the area really well. We followed all his recommendations and it all turned out perfect. Our room with the balcony was great and spectacular views. Spacious common areas and and a very special place to visit. We slept with the windows and couldn’t believe how quiet it was. Can’t wait to return."
