Old Bakehouse - FRENCH COTTAGE
An imaginatively converted old bakehouse, now housing luxury accommodation just for two people. 2000ft up in the rolling hills and the deep valleys of the Truyere Gorge, this beautiful French country cottage is highly recommended for peace and tranquillity, yet just 5 minutes away is Lacroix Barrez, which has a village store where you can buy fresh bread and croissants daily, making this the ideal location for your own cottage retreat. Two excellent restaurants are in Mur de Barrez 8 miles away. Entraygues, 8 miles away, is an interesting medieval town with 3 markets per week in summer. There are tennis courts in the local village of St. Hippolyte 1 mile away, choice of golf courses about 30 minutes away and a nearby horse riding establishment.
Many of the old features of the Bakehouse have been blended into the renovations, including a most attractive fully vaulted beamed ceiling in the living area, whilst the old baking oven highlighted in the bedroom, conjures an almost dreamlike setting.
The cottage is entered through its own private garden area, which has table and chairs, easy chairs and BBQ, into the comfortable living area with kitchen at one end providing electric oven, gas hob, fridge and dishwasher. Also there is a dining table and chairs and comfortable armchair and settee and a small woodburning stove. Also UK digital TV, and DVD with films. Downstairs the bedroom houses a double bed and en-suite bathroom with bath, shower, WC and hand basin. Linen with duvets and towels are provided. There is also a laundry. Visitors to The Old Bakehouse have almost sole use of the heated 11 x 5 metre swimming pool. It is situated about 45 metres from the cottage and has a pool house with shower, changing room, kitchen and BBQ. Pool towels are provided. It is shared by the owners in residence in the main house within the extensive grounds. There are walks around the 10 acres of grounds.
The ski resorts are just an hour away and this cottage is available during the winter months.
There is ample parking close to the cottage. Every year this is the most popular French cottage for 2 people. Book early to be sure of getting your preferred weeks.
