| Our 'pool man' is Chris and he takes great pride in its daily maintenance. The main swimming pool is 50 m2, and very child friendly being 1m deep at the shallow end and gently dropping to 2m at the deep end. It is floodlit and may be used at any time. It is surrounded by a terrace with sunbeds and is completely enclosed and alarmed for safety. The The Heated toddler pool is also within this area. It is heated to 30 c by an electrical heat pump (extremely energy effecient) and maintained daily too |

| ...the large garden is ideal for the children and toddlers to play in and make new friends whilst you watch from your terrace sipping a glass of chilled Pineau and soak up the hot summer sunshine. Lie under the shade of the apple tree and read or slip into the clear water of the pool to cool down ........ |

| We have been living in France offering self catering family friendly gites for rental for 12 years. We have therefore gained a wealth of experience in what makes the perfect self catering, child friendly and family friendly gite holiday. We also have two young children of our own so fully understand the needs of the family when booking a rental property in france. We fell in love with this region of SW France not only for its superb beaches, historic towns and beautiful rural countryside but for the relaxed way of life, fantastic food and of course, the wine. We share all our knowledge with our guests over a glass of the local tipple and many return again and again and become friends. For a bit about us, click here . |

| ''Great child friendly facilities both inside and out. Loads of toys, nice play area, fantastic baby pool at 30c, but all this still put to shame by the superb hospitality, friendly, honest advice in a very relaxed environment. Both Chris and wendy always happy to stop for a chat from local details, to wines and world affairs. They also seem to attract like minded, friendly, easy going guests as everyone was very friendly, happy to help out and everyone mixing in with the child care whether they were yours or not ! Very peaceful setting in beautiful countryside but plenty of things to do/places to see within a reasonable drive. All our needs were fully catered for, especially like the provision of steriliser, monitors etc to cut down on luggage and these sorts of items rarely seem to be provided at other establishments''. |
