Home description
The cottage, built in 1830 has been sympathetically renovated to enhance the traditional features of stone walls and beamed ceilings.
The cottage is situated on the edge of the village at the end of a small lane which leads to the Gartempe River. There are fields between the cottage and the river where some of the local residents have developed small allotments along the banks for growing produce and for access to the river. Access to the river is easiest from the recreation areas opposite.
Typically, there are a number of small local towns where traditional French markets are held every week. A list of these can be found in the Information Folder in the cottage. Local produce can also be obtained from the larger supermarket 7 kms away, as can the usual delights such as fresh fish, meats and vegetables and of course wines and spirits. There are a number of bistros, snack bars and restaurants within easy reach providing for all tastes.
