Further details indoors:
The children's games room / TV room has a 40 inch TV / DVD, satellite TV and seating (soft flooring can be laid for crawlers!) -which continues through to the hall linking all the other downstairs rooms and which has doors to the back garden.
The kitchen - which is the heart of the house - has been tailor made and can seat 12 adults comfortably for dining. A gas range cooker with Spanish plancha barbecue, American fridge with wine cooler and traditional fireplace really make this kitchen. There's also a professional standard coffee machine, dishwasher and underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, ensuring cosy Winter stays here too.
Walking through from here, you enter the large living room which seats 12 and has lots of sunny windows and a door through to the garden and another open fireplace for cosy Winter days. You can pass through here to a Summer kitchen, shower room and loo - this is ideal for preparing an outside Summer lunch or having a shower straight after your dip in the pool, without having to walk through the house as it links directly to the terrace area and garden.
The first floor has a stunning master double bedroom with dressing room and en-suite bathroom with imported Indian copper bath, independent shower and double copper sinks as well as a loo.
Two further double bedrooms have en-suite shower rooms and loos. There is a fourth double bedroom with wash basin and stairs down to the garden, a single room with pull out under bed (making a twin / double room) and another room with 3'6'' bunk beds. Finally there is a separate bathroom with bath, shower and loo.
Parent Points: Low oven door. For Winter rentals: there are two open fireplaces but guards are provided. One of the double bedrooms has a staircase to the garden (door can be locked at the top). Low upstairs windows have locks on them for safety.
Further details outdoors:
The outside space consists of a large (2 hectares) flat grassy garden edged with trees and bushes, a terrace close to the house for eating and an enclosed heated pool. A toddler could go for quite a distance and still be in your sight! There is also an enclosed grassed garden with a sheltered seating area.
Lovely pool area....
"The garden, outdoor seating areas, and pool area are lovely and all well located for group dining and being able to keep an eye on the children. The pool area is secure and well stocked with comfortable seating and toys." Allan Family, July 2010
A long drive ensures safety for little ones and plenty of privacy.
Along the outside edge of the garden runs a converted disused railway track which is excellent for walking and spotting the local wildlife (lots of red squirrels were about when I was there).

The Midi-Pyrenees / Tarn region
A 25 minute drive will bring you to the lovely town of Castres with its' canals and boat trips - not to mention the excellent restaurants. Just outside Castres is the Parc de Gourjade with its' 53 hectares of relaxing walks, picnic areas, play parks for children and roller skating area. Minigolf, a large swimming complex and a miniature railway are also here.
30 minutes will bring you to Castelnaudry, famous for its' duck cassoulet (delicious!) and the Canal du Midi, great for a day out and a wander by the old trees.
For those that like knights and princesses - take a drive (1 hour) to the Cite and chateau at Carcassonne - this is what Walt Disney's Sleeping Beauty's castle was based on. The cobbled streets are full of characterful restaurants and shops full of knight's armour; the whole place oozes history. You cannot miss a trip to Carcassonne (or any of the other Cathar chateaux in the area - you are only 1 hr 30 mins from here to Rennes le Chateau - think: Da Vinci Code!)
The Lempaut area
The nearby town and market of Revel was not only made famous by the celebrity chef John Burton Race during his year in France but it's also famous for its' antique shops - particularly for old furniture and refurbishing of them - great for window shopping!
Beautiful Mountain Villages
"The surrounding area provided a wide range of entertainment and interest. There is a lovely local lake with beach and watersport facilities, as well as dining opportunities and other entertainment. Nearby mountains provide plenty of lovely sights and recreational opportunities. There are interesting places to visit such as Toulouse and Carcasonne, as well as beautiful mountain villages" Allan Family July 2010
Revel's lake Saint-Ferreol is full of activities for kids - swimming, high wire course, pedaloes, kayaks as well as an educational centre for learning about nutrition; you can visit the farm and discover odeurs at the l'Explorarome.
If the thought of too much sightseeing wears you out, there are also lots of beautiful countryside walks and bike rides right from the door of Abri.
