In the pigeon tower and the barn wing of the house are 4 self-contained gîtes which can each accommodate up to 6 people and can interconnect if required. The gîtes may be booked individually or, if all 4 gîtes are booked together, can accommodate a party of up to 24. With one of the bedrooms and one bathroom downstairs, the gîtes are suitable not only for groups of up to 6 but also for smaller numbers or couples on their own or for those with limited mobility. Each gîte has: 1 double-bedded room and 2 twin-bedded rooms; 1 shower room with basin and wc, and 1 bathroom with bath, basin and wc; a living/dining-room/kitchenette. An extra cot and child's bed may be available. The equipment in each gîte includes electric cooker, refrigerator, clothes-washing machine, tv/radio/video and log burner. Household linen and towels are provided. Electricity and water are included in the rental. We prepare the gîtes for arrival - beds are made, fridge and hot water on and we check that the previous gîters have left the gîte nicely for you. Outside, each gîte has its wooden garden table and chairs, parasol and large barbecue. The SWIMMING-POOL is 10 metres by 5 metres and has roman steps for easy access; it has a natural salt system and is cleaned regularly. The pool has a nice big surround paved with heat-control tiles, all set in a grass aarea with a wooden fence and gates.
