Accommodation:

Downstairs consists of an entrance hall, cloakroom, kitchen/dining room, hall and office area, and sitting room and large covered terrace. The first floor has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and a seperate w/c.

Kitchen: A few steps from the entrance hall lead you down to the large fully equipped kitchen and dining room with terracotta floors. You will find plenty of crockery and utensils. The cherry wood dining table seats 8 to 10 comfortably. Two sets of French doors lead to the outside dining area which seats up to 10 also.

Sitting Room: The sitting room is located off the central hall. With its welcoming open fireplace and old wood beams, it is a cosy place to relax in the winter. During the summer, it stays cool (thanks to it's walls which are almost a metre thick) and is perfect for those looking to escape the summer heat.

The room is comfortably furnished with some antique furniture, including a traditional large "armoire" cupboard, which houses the toys, games, books, CDs etc. There are 2 sofas, chairs and side tables. You will find the television & DVD player in here. French doors lead out to a large covered terrace.

Covered terrace: French doors lead out from the Sitting Room to a peaceful, large covered terrace with a gas Weber BBQ. This is a great area for relasation if you want some shade. Also a good spot to enjoy an evening playing cards, games or just reading. You can even see the neighbour's horses from here!

Hall/Office area: The entrance hall also leads to the central hall with an office area. The desk, which is located just under a window looking out to the rear gardens, is a suitable place to sit for those who need to work whilst away. The telephone and broadband are available for your use.

The First Floor: This is accessed via a staircase, which leads from the central hall. It consists of 4 double bedrooms (one twin & three kings), 2 bathrooms and 1 separate WC.
The twin bedroom, 1 double bedroom and a bathroom containing a shower, separate bath, w/c, sink and ample storage are situated at one end of the 1st floor. Two double rooms are at the other end with a bathroom and separate WC.

Bedroom 1 has a very comfotable "Heals" king bed (160cm wide) with a window facing south with views over the countryside and towards the pool. It has a built in wardrobe.

Two travel cots are available upon request and can fit in any of the bedrooms.

Gardens and Pool: The swimming pool area is located slightly away from the house and is accessed via about 10 steps (fairly steep) with a hand rail. The pool measures 10x5 metres and has Roman steps for easy access and gets plenty of sunshine! An alarm has been fitted to the pool to comply with current French regulations.

The pool house has a hot water shower and WC as well as a summer kitchen area with BBQ, sink and fridge. Sun loungers, parasols and pool towels are supplied for your comfort. Please note that the pool is open from May to September inclusive. Please ask for extended opening times.

The garden is all fenced, so little explorers are safe to roam around. Electric gates give you access to the grounds and there is enough space to park at least 4 cars.

The garden is well stocked with local trees, plants and fauna including oak, olive and pine trees.

General: Bath towels and bed linen are supplied. The beds are made up for your arrival and the house fuly prepped and clean. For those staying more than 1 week, the house will be cleaned weekly and the sheets and towels will also be changed.

The gardener and pool man visit regularly.

Central heating is necessary during the cooler months for which there is an additional fee.

Children are welcome - it is a family house! The elderly or infirm must be aware that due to the age of the house and the terrain, there are a few steps and different levels within the house and gardens. Wheelchair access is not possible unfortunately. 
The house is fitted with an intruder alarm, a safe, smoke detectors and fire blanket.

No matter how you spend your holiday, we hope you'll love staying at La Bergerie.
