Home description
The property has its original vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and pastel colours throughout. There is both an external and internal staircase to the first floor.
This is the perfect place for two or three people to take a relaxing holiday, whatever the time of year. Not suitable for children under the age of 10 as there is a steep internal staircase which has a hand-rail for adults .
With full central heating and a wood-burning stove it is ideal for a winter's break but excels in the summer with its pool (8m x 4m, unfenced) and shaded sun terrace, where you can enjoy spectacular views of the Aveyron cliffs and valley. It is ideal for enjoying a drink or a good book and watching the butterflies as they circle the adjoining meadowland, also belonging to the property.
