The gite is a three storey well modernised farmhouse retaining many if the original beams. It can be let as a two or three bedroom property sleeping either 3+2 or 5+2. The extra two on a choice of comfortable sofabeds. There is private outside sitting area and barbecue and use can be made of the owner’s large swimming pool. Children are welcome and dogs by arrangement. Clients should be aware however, that this is a working smallholding with a farm next door, so young children will need to be supervised as there are a few of the usual rural hazards such as animals, machinery, water containers in the surrounding area and there is a small river nearby.
The big wide valley is bathed in sunlight for many months of the year, and invariably blue skies. The large swimming pool is in the sun for twelve hours a day during the summer months. The pool is set in a large fenced and gated area of lawn and terrace and has an alarm system, but we do require that all children are accompanied in the pool area by a responsible adult who can swim, Trees provide cool shaded areas.
