The fully fitted kitchen is just off the dining room and is fully equipped with dishwasher, microwave, cooker and fridge
The house has been renovated to a very high standard with all modern utilities but it still retains its original ambience and period style. The positioning of the house coupled with the old thick granite walls ensure, a pleasant temperature in the house all year round - even in the height of the summer.
The house originally housed the farm workers on the first floor with the larger farm animals sleeping below - when the house was a working-farm it was traditional for the workers to sleep above the animals for the additional warmth they brought.
The house is strictly non-smoking.

Superbe endroit, où l’on a pu se détendre totalement avec ma femme et mes enfants. L’endroit est calme et apaisant, le jardin très grand, avec de l’ombre, la piscine, et la quiétude loin de tout. Je recommande
