PAPILLON Gite at our Family Friendly property
near St Jean d'Angely
Papillon sleeps 6 in 3 bedrooms. It was originally used for
keeping animals (probably pigs - hence the name 'butterfly' ! it
sounds nicer !) It has now been totally converted into a
lovely
cottage
with terrace front and rear with charcoal barbecue.
Downstairs is
open plan with living and dining areas and for
those who enjoy cooking up
local french dishes such as moules
in cream sauce - it has a very
spacious kitchen area with loads
of work space and cupboards for storing all those goodies
purchased at the market. The
low dark ceilings with ancient
exposed central oak beam  and the
exposed stone walls, create a
lovely dark,
cool escape from the heat of the summer.
The kitchen  is equipped with 4 ring gas hob, work top electric
oven /grill, sink, refrigerator, microwave and dishwasher and all
the basic pots, pans, crockery and cutlery.
On the first floor is a good sized double bedroom with large wardrobe, draw unit and vanity basin; a twin room with wardrobe and
a small childrens room with
bunk beds and set of draws as well as hooks for hanging.  The bathroom has a bath with shower
facility, toilet and basin and as with all our cottages -
loads of hot water and good pressure for the shower. The straight wooden
staircase
is open tread and is steeper than what you may be used to at home.
There is a spacious patio area front and rear with a bbq at the back and garden furniture at the front.
