The house

  • Quiet, rural area with some agricultural activity

Blissful wisteria-clad cottage and newly converted large en-suite room with solar heated swimming pool.
This peaceful cottage is set back from the little road, its pretty old stone walls tucked around with swathes of wisteria, its shutters a Provençal blue.
The views are stunning, it's a haven for wildlife and the top of the hill is brilliant for star-gazing. Step straight into a charming, rustic sitting room with a beamed ceiling, tiled floor, comfortable leather chairs and a wood burning stove. The bright, sunny kitchen is perfect for a meal but on summer nights you'll be eating outside on the pergola terrace, surrounded by herbs and lavender. The (larger) double bedroom has roof timbers, exposed stone walls and marble-topped tables, perfect for a romantic retreat, the smaller twin room is ideal for youngsters, colourful and comfortable.
You can soak up the sunshine in the walled and flower-trellised garden, play Molky on the lawn – in the summer months pop across the lane for archery, badminton and a solar heated pool with loungers.
To add a little extra to your stay why not book a Hatha Yoga & meditation session with Liz who is a qualified Hatha yoga teacher.
A truly magical place where guests have returned again and again.

    Wat een heerlijke week hebben wij gehad in de gite. Host waren super en de kinderen hebben genoten van het zwembad. De yoga les vond m’n dochter fantastisch. Echt een aanrader! Rustig gelegen met op korte afstand mooie dorpjes, kastelen en andere bezienswaardigheden.

    Het is een hele fijne gite, eenvoudig maar compleet. De ligging is heel mooi, tussen de zonnebloemvelden en bij een bos. In de omgeving is genoeg te doen en te zien zonder dat het supertoeristisch is. De eigenaren zijn ontzettend aardig en behulpzaam. We hebben genoten van onze vakantie hier.

    Idyllische gite, mooie omgeving, totale rust, perfecte plek voor een ontspannen vakantie. Prachtig privé zwembad en yogales van Liz.
    Mooie stadjes en kastelen in de buurt zonder stromen toeristen. We hebben genoten.
