We are surrounded by farmland and have two stables for self livery if guests require this -an extra charge would apply. One small well-behaved dog may be allowed. The gite has south facing views over owners field (which is fenced and gated) and surrounding farmland.
The pool area has decking and is alarmed when not in use. Off road parking is available. There is a table tennis table available on a terrace by the pool area and a gas bbq, solely for guests use by the large patio to the front of the gite.
