What a fabulous place. Set in beautiful French countryside, tranquil and full of rural charm. The house is absolutely amazing with a vaulted ceiling and a massive communal area. Many an hour was spent around the 2 log fires, pool table and the kitchen table that could have seated a small army. The swimming pool is very well thought through, with a sliding cover about 3ft over the water, so even if you were to visit out of season you can all jump in and the pool is kept warm. There is even a sauna and gym should you feel so inclined. When you then delve deeper into the house, there are lots of beautifully made up rooms, retaining their rustic charm, yet combined with all the modern luxuries you could want for. The beds are fantastically comfortable and the bathrooms with their roll-top baths and power showers are a great way to unwind after a long day of walks, biking or relaxing on the terrace or in the enormous garden. It is often the case in other such places that details such as the kitchen are lost. Not at all here - all the important bits such as kitchen knives that are actually sharp, ample cutlery, cooking implements, coffee machines, crockery and of course wine glasses are all there in abundance, fully thought through for large groups and families to be more than comfortable. And if cooking isn’t your thing, then there are various restaurants and eateries just a walk or a bike ride away. There are a mass of bikes available of all different sizes and configurations for all ages, making it incredibly handy to get around should you want to enjoy the countryside. And what a beautiful area it is, just a short trip to some amazing castles, vineyards or ancient towns for a bit of sightseeing or wine tasting. Having spent a glorious week there, we didn’t even get around to playing most of the games, the roulette table or massive DVD collection. The place really is so well furnished with everything we could have wanted. An absolute 10/10 and we shall definitely be back. Thank you Tracey & Adrian.
