The house

  • Quiet, rural area with some traffic

Part of the original cottage, dating back to 1838, this comfortable gite is approached by its own garden path. A large kitchen and dining room, beamed with exposed stone walls, has been well-furnished, with a dining area seating up to 6 persons, and a modern fitted kitchen complete with washing-machine, fridge-freezer, microwave and gas cooker.

The beamed lounge offers comfortable seating and occasional furniture. The ground floor is tiled throughout. Stairs lead to a landing off which there is a double bedroom with king-sized bed, a twin-bedded room, and a fully tiled bathroom comprising walk-in shower, washbasin and toilet. Original oak beams and attractive chestnut flooring give character to the bedrooms.

The gite offers full gas central heating, making it especially suitable for year-round rentals. An additional en-suite double bedroom may be available with this property.  French TV, DVD player and a selection of DVDs are available for guests.  A cot and high chair are available upon request. 

Outside there is a garden with barbecue, tables and chairs for al fresco meals and a patio within the courtyard.

      Colette and Gary are lovely and very attentive! The setting is superb, quiet and the accommodation very well equipped. The park is huge and in addition to the pool everything is foreseen for the children .. we had rented all 3 gites with friends with children from 8 months to 11 years and everyone found its happiness! We highly recommend!
