All guests have full use of the barbecue and covered eating area beside the lake. In the grounds there is a small camping area for eight caravans or tents, with a shower block and dishwashing facilities. So you can holiday with family and friends who like to camp.

The boulangerie van calls on Friday and Sat in the summer but if you miss her there is a baker in the village and a very reasonable restaurant with a set four course meal with wine all for around 13€.We also offer an evening meal if you book in the morning. A welcome pack of basics is in the gites when you arrive and I can shop for other things if you send a list in advance.

We have a selection of brochures in the gites or you can visit the tourist information for the latest what's on.
