General overview
Our holiday cottage is situated next door to our house in small farming hamlet with 5 houses.
Duing the summer months we open the cottage for bookings with various sites, but can offer a week if not already booked.
Alternately, we can exchange with our main house next ddor to the cottage. There are photos available on the photo page and marked with Main house
The cottage is available from the end of June till October for a Globe.
From Mid July to the end of August we can only do a simultaneus swap with our main house as the gite is usually fully booked and our source of income.
La Belle Grange is a 200 year old farm workers cottage that has been completely renovated to retain the original character with all exposed stonework and oak beams restored.
The garden and patio overlook fields and farmland. Birds and wildlife are plentiful and it is a delight to hear birds singing in the garden.
The garden is enclosed for the safety of your pets to enjoy the lawn and garden and run freely. There are many country lanes to wander with your pets, or take advantage of the two complimentary bikes to explore the surrounding area.
The main house (available for sim swap mid July - end of August) is a 2 x1 home with a lovely open plan kitchen, stylish lounge area, two double bedrooms, shower room and toilet, big garden with wisteria covered pergola and outdoor table.
The hot tub is not available during the sim - swap time as it is part of the stone gite/ cottage and for exclusive use of guests.
