Le Cottage is set in its own private grounds in a quite hamlet approximately 500 meters from the forest of Aulnay, where you can walk for hours enjoying the wild flowers, animals and birds . Ideal area for cycling or jogging. Bikes available to loan. At night the stars are amazing. Le Cottage is open plan with views over the countryside. Recently modernized with a well equipped kitchen and plenty of space to relax and unwind. The integral garage with electric doors means on the very hot days the car is kept cool ready for the trips out to embrace the lovely French culture. If you come off the D224 road onto the D224E1 Le Cottage is the second house on the right, and is set in its own private grounds, with no fences or gates to spoil the lovely views over the open countryside. Additional Information. Excellent 4G mobile phone signal. Wifi via TP link Modern Smart TV. Your personnel, private Hot tub is situated along side Le Cottage just let us know if you would like to use it during your stay so that it can be tuned on ready for your arrival (a small extra charge will apply). In the hot weather the tub can be used as a plunge pool which is suitable for children. Bikes are available just let us know if they are for children or adults. The above ground swimming pool for your own personal use is in a private garden situated close to the farm house. At the farm house (100 meters away) there is an American pool table, table tennis and a boule piste. New for 2024 a full size snooker table at the farm by arrangement
We moved to France 20 years ago after selling our business in the UK. We have a small holding which has sheep, 2 very friendly dogs, 2 cats, and an Irish Cob horse called Manolo. The well stocked vegetable plots and fruit trees usually produce an abundance of food and we are happy to give this to our guests to enjoy. We love this area and 4 years ago we were able to purchase Le Cottage next door. Are aim was to have guests to come and sample the quiet way of living in the county surrounded by farm land and open views, to experience the French way of live and the local people, and return back home well rested with fond memories of their stay with us.
Nere, our closest village has a lovely play area with a zip line, climbing features, fishing lake, tennis court, and more. Also there is a small shop, a bar, and a chemist and of course a church. Aulnay has the super market and a market on Sunday and Thursday which is packed with local produce, and the cafe's dotted round the square it makes a wonderful place to sit and watch the world go by.
