Description

Surrounded by woods and rolling fields, this lovingly restored old farm provides a peaceful retreat and a wonderfully safe haven for children. With easy access to the nearby famous towns of La Rochelle, Rochefort and Cognac, why not take in the sights before returning to relax by the large pool with safe, wide roman steps and adjacent children's paddling pool. The more active can take up a challenge in the games room or hire bicycles onsite (childseats are available). All accommodation is bright and airy with tasteful colour schemes and modern bathrooms.
