The gite, gardens, jacuzzi and swimming pool are private and for gite guests only. There is secure on site parking for 3-4 cars.

The gite has 2 bedrooms. Each bedroom is equipped with a super-king sized bed and a single bed. If required, it is possible to convert these beds into 3 single beds in each room. All Egyptian cotton bed linen, duvets, pillows and towels are included and the beds will be made for your arrival. All pillows, duvets and mattresses have protectors. Storage space is provided for your clothes. There is also a large fan in each room. Both bedrooms have a view of the lake and skylights in the roof.

On the ground floor there is a separate toilet and a second bathroom with walk in rain shower, washbasin, illuminated heated mirror and heated towel rail. All towels, including spa towels, are included.

Both bathrooms are also equipped with free shower gel and liquid hand soap. We want to reduce the use of plastics and therefore do not offer small individual toiletries. Instead, we buy in bulk and use refillable containers.

On the ground floor there is a modern fully equipped kitchen with a large oak table and chairs. There are two infant booster seats for the dining table, and stair gates top and bottom. USB charging points provided in the kitchen too.

You'll also find an induction hob, an electric oven, a microwave, a dishwasher, a fridge, a toaster, a kettle, a teapot, a filter coffee maker and a cafetiere, as well as a large selection of utensils, cutlery, plates, bowls, cups, glasses, pots and pans and kitchen utensils that will make your stay a home away from home.

Free fibre-optic Wi-Fi is provided throughout the gite and works in the garden too.

Heating is charged separately when needed at €15 per day, cash. With recent electricity price increases, this unfortunately is necessary. There is underfloor heating downstairs and radiators upstairs.

On the grassed area there are sun loungers and a large table and chairs. The terrace also has a large table and chairs, a parasol, a gas BBQ and the jacuzzi (which is optional and is charged at €60 cash on arrival).
