The Pool
Both Gites have lovely views over the 11x7m heated, illuminated pool with the benefit of enjoyment of the beautiful, undulating countryside.
The chemical balance of the water is checked daily and kept at an optimum level for your health and comfort and also to keep within the Government parameters.
The pool has a uniform depth of 1.25m, with Roman steps for easy access.
The underwater light gives you the benefit of a lovely ambiance for that late evening swim.
The unobtrusive fence is gated with a child-proof lock. Ample sunloungers, parasols and a large hammock surround the pool.
NO INFLATED PRICES FOR HALF-TERMS, EASTER, ETC.
Being parents ourselves, and having early retired from education , we know how costs are often inflated during school holidays.
We have adopted the principle of maintaining published prices at half-terms and Easter periods, in the hope that doing so will help contain parents' costs for their well-earned holidays.
