The Aquitaine/Gironde/Dordogne region:
South west France, enjoys long hot summers and mild short winters. Steeped in history the area was a battle ground between French and English kings. The legacy being hundreds of Bastides towns (fortified) and Chateaux’s (castles). The countryside is beautiful rolling hills, vineyards, orchards and numerous villages to explore. Castillion la Bataille is only 10mins away, this being the last decisive battle of the hundred years war. The world heritage site of Saint Emilion, an incredible open air museum only 25mins away is a stunning ochre coloured stone built town full of narrow streets, beautiful architecture, views and restaurants and is a world famous wine production area, so lots of tasting to try. Bordeaux’s cosmopolitan city atmosphere is 1 hour away, with good park and ride links.
Outside and Grounds:
All guest are welcome to wander around our grounds and pick fruit from our trees. The garden area is fairly flat however some of our ground has a steep gradient and can be uneven. So the need for a good pair of shoes if to be explored. There is a Teak table and chairs situated in the guests garden which is shaded by a big fruit tree. A sheltered area just outside the entrance has an outdoor swing. This is great to sit and unwind with a good book and a large glass of red wine after an afternoon exploring the area either by car, on foot or mountain bikes (bikes are available to our guests ). We also have a children's play area with swings and a slide and room to play football and other ball games. (please note the property and grounds are non smoking and the pool is shared with the owners).
