Outside Details

The sheltered sitting-out area under the latticed, open barn at the west side of the cottage doubles as a games area (table tennis) - it also has a washing line and wood store. For hot summer days there's a garden shower. The west terrace on the west side of the garden is a suntrap from midday until sunset. It looks out over lawns and open fields, with panoramic south-west views over oak and chestnut forests and distant villages to the snow-capped Pyrenees. Four new mountain bikes can be hired at a moderate charge (3 sizes). There's private, off-road parking in a carport.

Traditional Features
- Please remember our cottage is almost 200 years old and owes much of its charm to its age. It was built before the days of cavity insulation and damp-coursing so please bear this in mind if you're taking an elderly person or very young children on your holiday, especially between October and April.

Wheelchair Access
