France as you remember it. Rural, peaceful, relaxing, secure with heated pool.

Dating from the 1850's, but completely renovated, this spacious accommodation offers a luxurious break away from it all, plus a taste of real France. The barn, spread over 3 and1/2 floors, has three double bedrooms (1 en-suite) and a large gallery, sleeping 4/5. In addition there are 2 bath/shower rooms and 4th toilet. The main living space in the gite is the large open plan raised ground floor. This 9.5 meter square space ( 31 feet by 31 feet) allows the large kitchen, generous dinning area and spacious seating zone to be fully integrated. The cook(s) are not banished from the life of the party! The fully equipped kitchen comes with all the usual appliances including catering-sized pots and pans for larger groups. The spacious living/dining area offers direct access to the pool and deck. We have satellite TV, and a newly installed Wi Fi booster that gives great coverage in the gite and on the deck; We also have a large selection of books, jigsaw puzzles and games. The lower ground floor games room has a full size table-tennis table, a half-size snooker table and table football. New for 2015 we are offering The Tree House, which is a great space for children and adults. The gite also comes equipped with high chairs and cots for very young children. There is direct access from the gite to the heated swimming pool (8 m x 4 m), and large wooden deck. The deck is equipped with a gas BBQ, a large dining table with seating for 10 plus guests as well as large sun shades. There are two lawned spaces in the garden, and off road parking for 4 or more cars. We are situated in a very rural setting, our nearest neighbours being a kilometre distant. We are surrounded by beautiful views in all directions and country walks freely accessible simply by stepping outside. That being said, local amenities, shops, banks, service station etc are a quick drive away ( 5 minutes). We feel that our gite has something to offer for everyone.
