About this property

The cottage is open-plan and split-level, so sadly not suitable for toddlers or disabled. The fully equipped kitchen/dining area has 3 steps leading up to the cosy living room where there is a music system and TV. The TV can be turned either towards the living room or the kitchen.

There is also a small office and WIFI. The 2 bedrooms are on opposite sides of the house, one on the ground floor, the other, loft, bedroom on the first floor. Both have double beds and are very spacious. The loft bedroom has more than enough space for 2 single beds as well, if required.

The bathroom has a large bath, separate shower, basin and toilet.

The terrace has a bar/BBQ and outdoor fridge. The private, salt-treated 9 x 4m pool, open from May to October weather permitting, and its’ terrace overlook several valleys and has fabulous views! Parasols abound and Palm and Banana trees offer natural shade.

The cottage is in a hamlet with just 2 other houses so very quiet and peaceful but is only 1 minute from the village and its’ shops plus a bar/restaurant with indoor and outdoor dining facilities. They also do 'custom made' pizzas.

Changeover day is Saturday but I can be flexible on day and also length of stay e.g. 10 days would be possible.

Enjoyable stay at character packed house with pool

We arrived to a really warm welcome by Dawn who explained everything very clearly. Communication before and during our stay was excellent. The old and quirky, clean house had everything we needed and oozed character. The pool is a nice size, clean and most importantly, lovely and warm. There are plenty of recliners and outside seating for relaxing. We ate outside most days (weather permitting). There are lovely nearby walks. We had an enjoyable lunch at the restaurant Le Relais d’Ayen. Food was tasty and the owners were very friendly. Overall, a very enjoyable stay.

Great place to stay for a relaxing holiday

Great views. Great pool lovely host Really nicely equipped house with a great pool. Area is quiet and relaxing. Not the place if you want bright lights and nightlife. But fantastic for a relaxing week in truly beautiful scenery. The house is extremely well equipped with everything you need. There are many steps so not a good choice for mobility impaired people. We all had a fantastic time

Franchement bof !

Nous nous attendions tout de même à mieux vu les photos , mais elles ne sont pas récentes du tout . Accueil plus que moyen , maison vétuste , tables extérieur en fin de vie , coin barbecue qui ne donne pas envie d'y faire cuire quoi que ce soit , dallage piscine sale et mal posé . La vue vantée dans l'annonce est cachée par la végétation qui a largement poussée depuis. Nous avons étés réveillés toutes les nuits par un très fort bruit de chaudière que l'on aurait cru dans la chambre mais situé sous la pièce. Location pour 6 personnes , mais deux minuscules frigos . Nous ne recommandons pas , surtout pour ce budget .

About the host

Hosted by Dawn Clarke

I came to France 34 years ago after 10 years of travelling and opened a Country Hotel. I needed to put down roots and had always loved France – the hotel just sort of happened!

Why they chose this property

I 'fell on' this property by pure luck and you would understand why I bought if you saw it and the amazing views.25 years ago I moved 5kms across the valley into a ‘cottage in need of some renovation….’ Apparently it used to be the local bakery and bistro. After a few years of renovation [I still keep improving where and when I can] I decided to rent it out on a holiday basis– I missed the contact with different people who then, often, became friends.

What makes this property unique

Not many cottages sleeping so few have a private, exclusive-use pool. Mostly, cottages of this size have a pool shared with at least one other property and I keep my tarif very competitive so that it is affordable for a couple on their own.
