The Swimming Pool

The 8m x 4m inground swimming pool is fenced with a latched gate and pool alarm to protect young children. The pool enjoys the sun all day long with shade being provided by two large sails. There are plenty of sun loungers available with additional patio chairs if required. A bubble cover is also provided which if used each evening will maintain the pool temperature overnight.

The end of the pool near the steps has a shallow end of approximately 4ft with a slope going into the deep end which is approximately 6.5ft. There is also a shallower edge which runs around the edge of the pool.

Fantastic views across miles of open countryside can be enjoyed in and around the pool area.

The Hanger

The hanger is a large open sided barn area and is a perfect place to enjoy meals and BBQ's. Outdoor electicity points are available for you to listen to music. The hanger enjoys shade throughout the day and is an ideal place to cool off. Because it is next to both the pool and the trampoline, it is an ideal place to monitor children.

At night, because there is no light polution, the hanger is the ideal place to enjoy a fantastic night sky. You won't beleive how many stars you can see - even the spiral arm of the galaxy is visible on a clear night.

The Front

There is a large gravelled courtyard that runs along the front of the cottages. Outside of each gite is a set of table and chairs for you to enjoy croissants & pain au chocolats in the morning sunshine.

The gites are seperated by a gated allyway that leads to the rear garden and for added privacy we have installed a fence bewteen the two gites. Through the wooden gates at the end of the courtyard is ample space to park several cars.

Along the front of the courtyard is an ivy covered wall seperating the properties from the small country road. There is very little traffic along this road, infact rush hours consists of the farmers tractor and the post van. At night this is a very peaceful area for parents to sit in and enjoy a bottle of fine French wine whilst the little ones sleep off their busy day. The loudest thing you will hear will be the crickets.
