Heating:
This lovely former farmhouse has very thick stone walls which keep the rooms (including bedrooms) fresh during the hot summer days and evenings. For exceptionally hot periods all rooms have electric fans.
For low season rentals or B&B stays, the house is kept lovely and warm via full central heating and a wood burning stove in the lounge and in the kitchen.
Garden maintenance & welcome:
The garden and pool will be maintained by the owner during the summer, including usually one visit per week to cut the lawns, check the pool filters and clean the pool. The pool does not need heating during the high season, as it is covered by a telescopic cover (abri). Guests can swim with the abri in place or its easy to roll back each day. The pool is then totally exposed to the sun. The abri also ensures complete safety when closed. Additional pool heating can be provided at a weekly charge of £40. It is our pleasure to provide a welcome pack, which contains milk, tea, coffee, bread, butter and fresh produce such as cheese, pate and salad. We also ensure that essentials such as washing up liquid, dishwasher powder, loo rolls and cleaning products are available and guests are requested to top up these supplies as they use them.
House Party Celebration:
This lovely house is also great for a house party – perhaps to celebrate a wedding anniversary, an engagement or a significant birthday. Enjoy the company of your family and friends in a relaxing and gentle environment – swim or relax by the pool, challenge the kids to table tennis, wander around the garden or rest and read a book under a shady tree. Let us look after you and prepare your party meals in a lovely happy atmosphere. We can accommodate 10 people in 5 rooms three of which have private bathrooms and the other two share a shower room and additional loo. We will be delighted to cater for your party as you require. We can include breakfast and alfresco lunch with dinner served under the stars. If it’s not so warm we’ll light the huge wood fire and eat in the large salon. We always use fresh local ingredients and can order in special celebratory menu’s designed by local chefs and ‘traiteurs’. Let us know the dates you wish – minimum 3 nights. (not high season sorry)
