About this property

La Petite Grange - Converted vaulted barn - South Ardèche - 2 ensuite bedrooms

La Petite Grange is a welcoming two bedroomed converted barn ideal for two couples or a family. It has a large terrace and barbecue to fully enjoy the mild Spring and Summer nights and the wonderful colours of Autumn, shaded by an awning and a beautiful fig tree.
The ground floor is open plan with a custom built vaulted kitchen, stairs to upstairs and a further vaulted lounge/dining area. The downstairs bedroom is very large and has a double bed which converts into two single beds and an en-suite shower room. There is a door to a small gravelled garden with table and chairs. The upstairs bedroom is spacious and houses a double bed with a shower, wash basin and WC en-suite. There is a child gate at the top of the staircase. Both bedrooms have plenty of space for a baby's cot. La Petite Grange has 1 metre thick walls and so is very temperature neutral throughout the year.
We also let La Magnanerie (Property number 1074115) which is an adjoining gite with two bedrooms for 4 people, so if you wish to come as a group, both properties can be let at the same time, subject to availability.
In addition to the terrace, there is a shared grassy garden area with sun loungers, benches and a parasol.

• The Ardèche is an unspoilt area with stupendous mountains and gorges and views to die for!
• Close to some of the “most beautiful villages of France” including Balazuc, Naves, Thines and Voguë.

A pleasant stay in a comfortable gite
Clean, comfortable and well equipped. The beds were comfy and there was plenty of hot water. Our first two evenings were cool and damp outside and the gite heating struggled. Once the sun arrived it was fine. Sitting on the terrace in sunshine was enjoyable. Sadly it is on a busy road and the noise is noticeable. There were some condiments left by previous occupants which seemed very old.

A lovely base for exploring the Ardeche region
Le Petite Grange is a lovely little gite for a couple to stay with a comfy living area and bedroom, although the bedroom can get a bit hot, but the owners are in the process of resolving that. It is very clean and well maintained accommodation with lovely views from the patio at the back of the property. It is next to a busy little road but it goes quiet through the night. The owners live in the main house attached to the gite and are very helpful and friendly, they are in the process of building another house at the back of the gite, but this didn't effect our stay at all. You would need a car to stay here as it is a couple of kilometers away from the nearest town, but it is a lovely base to explore the region which is beautiful. We came to do some kayaking and climbing in the area, and we had a brilliant time I would recommend Le Petite Grange to anyone and would certainly stay here again.

Cozy and and well-located getaway
My husband and I spent 6 days in La Petite Grange with our 4 months old baby. Jane provided the spacious bedroom with a baby bed, a changing mat and a small baby bath, which was really nice. We appreciated that a lot. Thanks again! The terrace is very nice, the kitchen is well equipped, the lower floor has always been cool even though it was hot outside and the parking next to the house is perfect. We only used the bathroom upstairs because the other one was quite narrow. Which was too bad was the fact that a prefectural decree prohibits barbecues in the summer months in this area. Of course, it has nothing to do with Jane and Alan, it’s just a side note 😊 All in all a great starting point to discover the Ardèche. We enjoyed our stay.

Geschmackvoll umgebaute Scheune
Wir (Ü60) waren mit einem befreundeten Ehepaar in La Grange. Das Haus ist eine sehr schön zu einem Wohnhaus umgebauten Scheune, Es fehlt an nichts, sogar eine Waschmaschine ist vorhanden. Wir haben trotz des wechselhaften Wetters unseren Aufenthalt genossen. Jeder kann seine Privatsphäre genießen Einzig der Verkehr tagsüber war etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig. Wir können das Haus aber auf jeden Fall empfehlen, auch der Kontakt zu den Vermietern war angenehm (English spoken)

Wunderschöne Ferienwohnung
Wir hatten einen sehr angenehmen Aufenthalt in Lablachere. Von La Petit Grange aus konnten wir schöne Tagestouren unternehmen und die wunderschöne Ardèche Region kennenlernen. Die Kommunikation mit Frau Marston war unkompliziert und freundlich. Und an den sehr heißen Sommertagen haben wir die Kühle der Wohnung genossen.

Maison très agréable et confortable
Nous avons passé quinze jours très agréables à "La petite grange".Jane est une hôtesse très sympathique et à veillé à ce que notre séjour soit sans problème. La maison est à deux minutes en voiture de Joyeuse ou de Lablachère, très pratique pour nous approvisionner. Les repas étaient bien agréables en terrasse, protégés du soleil (qui ne pardonne pas à l'heure du déjeuner) par un auvent. les couchages sont très confortables et nous avons parfaitement dormi lors de cette quinzaine de réelles vacances. La température avoisinant les 40°, la fraîcheur des pièces du rez-de-chaussée fut grandement appréciée ! La maison et la région méritent un nouveau passage ! Nous reviendrons sûrement. Cordialement.

About the host

Hosted by Jane Marston, Gites Marston Ardeche

Host profile image
Until 2009, my husband Alan was an architect in Cumbria. We had already bought La Petite Grange as a potential holiday home and had started to do it up, but that was too much of a long term project so Alan decided to take the plunge and get his hands dirty so moved to France with a view to setting up our gite business. His first job was to completely renovate La Petite Grange (whilst living in with all the mess) and then to do the same with the adjoining property, La Magnanerie. He has since built us a home n site, renovated a barn and it's coach house and built a new house on the other side of the village.

Why they chose this property

When we first saw the property, we fell in love with it and its views across the vineyard, the valley then the hills and forests, together with the stunning view of the Tanargue mountains beyond.

What makes this property unique

La Petite Grange has a lovely atmosphere with the vaulting and the really thick walls which makes it a haven when the summer sun gets too hot (which can be the case in July and August). The terrace has wonderful views and the shade of the fig tree which we had initially cut down to ground level but which had no intention of giving up and is now considerably bigger than when we started.
