The Gite has been created from a feeding room in a stone barn. The original features are still on show with the oak stalls and stonework blending in to make a comfortable holiday environment. The accommodation is for 2/4 people with a double bedroom and an open plan twin room. There is a rear garden for barbecues/sunbathing/relaxing and off road parking at the front. The entrance leads you in to the open plan living dining area with plenty of exposed beams and stonework. Step up into the mid section between the vertical beams where once cows would eat and you enter the kitchen and open plan twin bedroom. Step through to the back and you will find a double bedroom, a super bathroom with a multijet shower and access to the Gite garden.
