Loire Valley Cycling Holidays – Accommodation

Centre based cycling holiday in the Loire Valley

Unpack & Relax

Our Accommodation

Fixed centre cycling holidays from perfect locations

At the heart of our centre‑based cycling holidays are two elegant properties set in the Loire Valley countryside.

Whether you join us for a Loire Discovery Cycling Tour or a Loire Valley Cycling Break, you can choose to stay at our long‑established base, Le Gué de Ray, or at La Touche, newly introduced for 2026.

Both offer the ease of unpacking once, settling in, and enjoying the comfort of a welcoming home from home while you explore the region’s landscapes, châteaux and villages at your own pace.

Whichever accommodation you choose, the bike routes and destinations are the same.

Le Gué de Ray – Loire Valley Accommodation

Le Gué de Ray is a graceful 19th‑century farmstead dating back to 1830, where the original farmhouse and a beautifully converted barn come together to offer refined, boutique accommodation in the Loire Valley

The rooms are individually decorated, with a choice of double and twin bedrooms as well as spacious suites for groups of three.

Life at Le Gué de Ray feels more like staying in a well appointed country home than a traditional hotel. Guests are welcome to relax in the comfortable sitting rooms, make use of the guest kitchen and complimentary laundry facilities, and enjoy hot and cold drinks whenever they wish.

Set within an acre of peaceful grounds, the property offers plenty of quiet corners to unwind. You can stretch out beside the solar‑heated swimming pool or ease tired muscles in the outdoor spa after a day exploring the Loire by bike.

Why choose a centre‑based cycling holiday?

A centre‑based holiday allows you to settle in, unwind, and explore the Loire Valley without the need to pack and unpack each day. With thoughtfully restored accommodation, peaceful surroundings, and carefully curated cycling routes, everything is designed to make your stay effortless and enjoyable. You can focus on the landscapes, the châteaux, and the pleasure of the ride, knowing that comfort and a warm welcome await you at the end of each day.

We look forward to welcoming you!

We felt as though we were staying with good friends rather than being paying customers. Gue de Ray proved to be a home away from home – the facilities were first class – we thought we’d died and gone to heaven!
