Les Écuries is a spacious 5-bedroom gite. Upstairs there are two double bedrooms and two twin bedrooms. The 5th bedroom, located on the ground floor, is easily accessible and has a king-sized bed. Additionally, there is a small double sofa bed in the lounge. There are two bathrooms upstairs with a larger wet-room style bathroom on the ground floor. Les Écuries can sleep up to 12 people comfortably.
Les Écuries has its own fully equipped kitchen and ample space for indoor dining. If alfresco dining is desired, you will find a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with dining area and built in BBQ in the courtyard. There is a games hanger with pool table, table tennis, darts, a foosball table and various board and outdoor games equipment. Guests are invited to have a round on the six hole crazy golf course which can be found behind the outdoor kitchen area. There is a laundry room with washing machine, iron and ironing board for guest use. Pool toilets and shower can also be found in the courtyard.
The large, heated swimming pool is surrounded by a secluded grassed area for sunbathing. The pool area is fenced for child safety and contains sun loungers, seating and al fresco dining area. The pool will be open from May - September each year, weather permitting. To the side of the pool is a children's play area complete with Wendy house and swing and slide set to keep the younger ones entertained while you relax by the pool.
The property can be hired as a whole for large groups or families, or each gite can be hired individually. With exclusive rental of both gites, La Charronnière can sleep 16 people comfortably. Each gite is fully equipped with all you could want for a self catering holiday and both benefit from free WiFi connection and smart TVs with Netflix, and French TV channels.
We love animals and, if you have booked exclusive rental of the whole property only, then we are happy to welcome well behaved dogs, by prior agreement.
