Bedroom 1: Is a beautiful and generous sized double bedroom with a light and airy ensuite wet room. This room is on the same level as the living room and has an adjoining door to bedroom 2, should it be required.

We have created a room which is comfortable for all our guests, retaining the character of the cottage, yet practical for those who will appreciate the raised plug points and lowered light switches for ease of use.

This room has the option of twin adjustable electric beds if required.

Bedroom 2: Is a large spacious double bedroom with independent access to the garden and living area.

Great refuge to recharge batteries
We stayed as a family of six and it is just as the other reviews say: Marj and Bruce are warm, welcoming, caring, helpful and fun hosts with lots of tipps. The cottage is just beautiful with EVERYTHING you need, it's peaceful and spacious, and thoughtfully decorated. There are lots of places to relax inside and outside with a pool that is not only fun for kids but for adults as well. The countryside is stunning with ancient villages and sunflower fields. La Maison des Renards is a refuge and it was hard to leave.
