Double Bedroom/Ensuite Shower Room

This is the Double Bedroom, supplied with Linen, Towels and Toiletries.  The bookshelves are stacked with Paperbacks and a writing desk provides comfort for postcard-writing!  (I have a range of my own Postcards for you to choose from, including a collection of local prints of the area).  Tea and Coffee making facilities are also supplied in this room, for morning tea in bed!  Enjoy a lie-in, with views across the lawns and Pool Terrace.







A foldaway cot, high chair, baby walker and other facilities are also provided, at a small charge.  Please make enquiries when Booking.


Shower Room and Courtyard

Leading from the Bedroom, you walk past the tiny Courtyard, (access to which is gained via double glazed doors).  At the end of this little walkway is the Shower Room.  All bed linen, towels, cleaning products, shampoos and soaps will be provided for you.  This part of the Gite is particularly unusual, with a Pear Tree and a pretty statue.
