Property Description

Originally used as our family home for 11 years. For the last couple of years healthy lifestyle retreats have been popular at the property, as well as it being successfully let out as a gite. There have been full bookings through the summer and many more at other times of the year. It is good for the holiday breaks because the weather here is nice from April until the end of October. This year it was t-shirt and shorts weather in February!
