The fully equipped Shaker-style kitchen contains a fitted electric fan oven and gas hob, microwave, dishwasher and washing machine. Patio doors open directly onto a south facing sun terrace with an outdoor table and chairs. There is also a coal BBQ for those long outdoor evenings The grounds contain a swing and trampoline for the young (or young at heart) and the garden leads down to a private paddock surrounded by forest which is ideal for picnics on hot sunny days. There is croquet, boules, volleyball and plenty of footballs on offer, as well as a table tennis table in the stables.
The house is surrounded by fields which are used by the farm opposite for the famous boulannais horses, and a very short drive away there is golf, trout fishing and other attractions. In short, our house provides a chance to spend a wonderful holiday in the countryside of northern France, and your stay can be as energetic or as relaxing as you want while you stay in our traditional French Farmhouse.

We stayed here with our Doberman to get away from the fireworks at home in England. We have been to France at this time of the year for the last eleven years and always rented. This property is the best we have ever stayed in. There is everything needed to ensure a perfect holiday. The house could not be better equipped and we had a lovely stay. The house is lovely and warm ....very important in November. The property more than lives up tp the description. We highly recommend it. |

"Hi Laura Sadly we are now back at home, our short break all finished. Just to let you know that we had a lovely few days at your home despite the last couple of days not being too great weather wise! The house was wonderful and the back garden a real sun trap. I will pass on the details to friends as I have told them many times what a lovely area it is and now I can recommend them somewhere to stay too! Thank you again " - Michelle and family.

" We just wanted to say thank you so very much for loaning us your beautiful french home. We have had a really great holiday. We loved your house and made ourselves quite at home. Our boys loved your trampoline and played frizbee everyday as we can't in our garden at home (we haven't quite got the 2 acres!!). We did lots of touring around the area and enjoyed candlelit dinners every evening at your lovely farmhouse table. We got quite attached to your home it really is quite something special." - Mr & Mrs N Watts
