The space

La Garnison is situated at the edge of a picturesque medieval village next door to the chateau and fortified 13th Century church. The house sits alone on a small hilltop overlooking the village below. You enter into a walled courtyard and steps lead you up to a sunny terrace with outside dining table and seating for eight or more. Then into the large open plan lounge, dining and kitchen area. The kitchen is fully fitted with a Smeg range cooker, microwave, fridge-freezer, dishwasher, coffee machine , toaster and kettle. There are two sets of French doors that open onto Juliette balconies with stunning views over the village below. The other end of this room has a comfy seating area around the huge open fireplace.

The original staircase leads up to a large landing with two spacious double bedrooms and a large family bathroom with a family-sized bath and a walk in Italian shower. The bedrooms have lovely views out over the village. Each bedroom has open beamed ceilings and original features.

Downstairs a corridor leads off from the kitchen to the main lounge which has French doors leading out onto another balcony shaded by an enormous Acacia tree. You can sit and watch the red squirrels leap through the tree tops. A walkway leads on up into the garden and pool terrace. The lounge has a large smart tv with English free view channels. We have a DVD player and a chest full of DVD's. Ideal to keep children entertained but hardly ever used as there is so much else to do!

You will discover our wine cellar down a few steps from the main lounge where you can try out some of our excellent local wine. You can just help yourselves and we will charge this at the end of your stay. You will find information on local vineyards, wine tours and a wine book where previous guests have entered their comments on the wine they have tried. Wine tasting evenings with food pairing can also be arranged at La Garnison if you are interested.

Another double bedroom is also located off the ground floor corridor and a cloakroom with wc. is right next to it.

The second staircase leads up to the master bedroom with an open beamed ceiling up to the rafters. A second bathroom with a walk in shower can be found here too. French doors open up onto a large decked terrace with outdoor lounge area. Steps go down onto the pool terrace and the garden.
The pool terrace has loungers and parasols plus a BBQ area. The swimming pool can be entered by internal steps and has a little waterfall which creates a peaceful ambiance. We have cushions for all the loungers, outdoor sofas and dining furniture.

The garden is full of lavender, roses and herbs which you are welcome to raid when cooking. There are views out into the fields where the local goat farm sometimes graze their goats. A peaceful setting with the bonus of experiencing French village life if you feel the need.

Our large barn has table football, a ping pong table and we store tennis rackets and balls as you have use of the local tennis court. You will also find sets of Boules balls so you can have a try at this popular sport . Again , the boules court is just outside our garden gate.
