Heated Pool
The pool is open from April to October. It measures 10m x 5m with depths from 1m to 1.8 m and has roman steps for easy access in and out. The pool area is fully enclosed and has lockable double action security gates. The pool itself is fitted with an all weather cover which corresponds to the new French swimming pool security regulations. The cover is raised or fully removed during the day, but when lowered the pool is transformed into an indoor pool - so if the weather is cool you can still enjoy a swim in comfort! It also keeps the pool temperature very warm, so it's comfortable to swim in even in spring and autumn. The pool is heated to 27°c (even in Spring and Autumn!)
Sunbeds, cushions and parasols are provided for guests to use for relaxing around the pool.
Separate patio and barbecue areas
Every cottage has its own patio area with a lovely view out to the garden. Barbecues, tables, chairs and parasols are provided for each cottage.
