Within 12 acres of fields and off the main road, children (and grown ups) can enjoy the freedom they crave by playing in the play area, pétanque, table football, football, table tennis and play the large garden games provided in a safe environment, whilst the adults enjoy their peace and quiet.  The in-ground heated pool is ideal for hot summer days (open May to September, weather dependant).

GUEST REVIEW

"We (family of four) stayed in the Gite for a week in July 2017. The owners, Matt and Donna-Marie were very friendly and helpful.  The Gite is lovely, In beautiful surroundings. The views are out of this world.  I'd  recommend the invitation to the weekly BBQ!"
