Facilities
| Property Type: | Farmhouses |
|---|---|
| Nearest port: | The shortest drive is from St Malo, a comfortable 8 hours, but any of the Channel ports connect with the A10 motorway and a smooth journey down to Bordeaux and beyond |
| Nearest restaurant: | Within walking distance - New restaurant opening Summer 2011, serving French, English and vegetarian cuisine. Other nearby restaurants in Duras (6km) include:- La Terrasse - traditional French cuisine, facing the Chateau de Duras; Don Camillo's - French and Italian food including pizzas, with delightful outside terrace - tables lit by fairy lights under a shady canopy of trees; Le Ducs de Duras - Formal hotel, with a range of fixed price menus plus "à la carte" dining of a very high standard - ideal for special occasions; Le Cabri - Pleasant and welcoming restaurant attached to local Holiday park, serving very good quality French food at reasonable prices; Cafè de la Paix (also known as Régine's) - popular friendly bar serving hot snacks in the evenings and often with outdoor live music in the summer months; Le Tip Top - further up the square from Régine's - more modern interior therefore more popular with teenagers. Additionally there is at least one restaurant in almost all of the pretty little villages and towns in the surrounding area, and the Night Markets and Farmers Markets are a great venue for low cost eating and drinking whilst mingling with the local people. |
| Location and activities: | The house is situated on a hilltop with 360° panoramic views over plum orchards, maize and vines. It is reached by a private lane which serves only 4 residences in total, making it a peaceful place to be. The local village has a small supermarket, a baker, a butcher, hairdresser, Post Office and a bar. It hosts a "Farmers Market" every Friday night for 6 weeks in July and August, where row upon row of tables and chairs line the streets, and local food, wine and produce is on sale. Music and dancing continue on into the small hours of the morning, and a great time is had by all - locals and incomers alike! |
| Bedrooms: | We are an ideal property both for couples/small groups and for larger/extended families of mixed ages! There are three spacious family bedrooms in the property, each capable of sleeping at least 3 in proper beds - the children's bedroom sleeps 4, (plus two travel cots & a Moses basket are also available by pre-arrangement) We would not expect to fill all the beds on any booking, but the flexibility these arrangements allow is fantastic - all ages & genders can be suitably accommodated without resorting to the ubiquitous sofa-bed!. The downstairs bedroom remains as it would have been in the original house, beamed ceiling and terracotta tiled floor. It is cool and airy in the summer. The 2 upstairs bedrooms are in what would have been the attic. They have wooden floors with rugs, and have large ceiling beams. In the childrens' room the central beam needs to be ducked under, but the rest of the room is normal height. It is provided with a large wall-mounted tv/Blu-ray player, capable of being connected to an X-Box or PS3. In the main bedroom, with en suite sink and bidet, again with normal height beamed ceilings, the immense central oak beams are higher, but taller people will need to pay attention. There is a portable tv/video in this room and masses of films to choose from. |
| Bathrooms: | The family bathroom is located on the ground floorr and contains a proper bath, a shower, wc and washbasin. |
| Kitchen: | The large kitchen with its original tiled floor and open fireplace, is very well equipped for those who enjoy the opportunity a holiday gives them to prepare delightful dishes using the wealth of fresh local produce. We have 2 fridges, a drinks chiller and a small freezer, a gas hob and oven, microwave, electric kettle, toaster, breadmaker, expresso/cappucino maker, blender and electric can-opener. There is also the essential dishwasher, washing machine and tumbledryer. |
| Dining: | The dining table in the massive lounge sits 10-12 people comfortably, and for more relaxed eating, the kitchen table will seat 8-10 and the outdoor table easily seats 10+ |
| Living area: | The lounge is a stunning barn conversion, with exposed stone walls, massive oak beams and pillars and a large, corner wood burning stove. Seating is grouped in different areas of the room to allow different activities to be taking place without disturbing each other. |
| Entertainment on-site : | Indoors there is a large sattelite tv, receiving English Free to air channels, a dvd/vcr with an extensive library of films (including the full series 1-6 of "Friends", a music centre with cd player, numerous books by well-known modern authors, a roulette game plus numerous board and card games. We also have table football, air hockey and snooker on request. |
| Outside : | Outside is our fabulous pool, which every year receives accolades from our guests (they find it hard to drag themselves away to do other things)!! The garden is very large and there is plenty of space for ball games, badminton & tennis, a gentlemanly game of boules or simply sitting in the shade of a tree with a good book.. There is a delightful walk from the house down the lane, past woods and a small lake which has sufficient slopes to be bracing and good for the health if done briskly! |
| General: | This area of France is steeped in history and is blessed with numerous beautiful medieval villages and towns, most with a weekly market dating back to their origins. The climate is gentle most of the year round. Spring is warm, with very early flowering, summer is usually hot and dry, late autumn and winter being the wetter seasons. There is so much to do locally, both for children and adults - riding, tennis, swimming, waterparks, canoeing, quad-biking, hot-air ballooning, wine-tasting, medieval festivals with falconry, juggling, fire-eating, dancing and outdoor banqueting. |
| Suitability: | The house is suitable for all apart from the very unsteady on their feet, or wheelchair users, due to there being a number of small steps and different levels on the ground floor. We have a stairgate, two travel cots, playpen & highchair, Moses baskets available for tiny babies, and changining mat & toilet seat adapters for little bottoms, Other equipment requests for very small children can usually be accommodated with notice at time of booking. Please bear in mind that, as is normal in French houses, all downstairs rooms have solid tiled floors and we also have an open plan staircase. French children fall and bang their heads just as often as British children, get back up and survive to adulthood, but we are so used to the cushioning effect of falling onto carpets here in the UK! |
