Self Catering Holiday Gite Accommodation In France, Dordogne - Accommodation
Two self catering holiday accommodations in France. These beautifully
restored self catering holiday homes offer a relaxing holiday in the
Dordogne, France for an unforgetable holiday experience.
Les Glycines sleeps eight and Les Tilleuls sleeps seven. Both self catering
holiday apartments provide 2 folding beds and a cot and high chair.
The attic rooms are not accessible from either holiday accommodation so parents need not fear that children can reach this floor. Each holiday
accommodation has its own separate floodlit terrace with outdoor
tables and chairs and a barbecue for outdoor meals on a warm summer's
evening. Small children are catered for with a baby swing, sandpits,
a picnic table and a small slide. There are some bikes and an inflatable
paddling pool suitable for little children. There are also a selection
of bikes for bigger children and adults for which there is no charge,
and there is a badminton area further down the garden. Petanque sets
are provided and you can play anywhere you wish. Further away from the
house, in the wooded area of the garden can be found a set of swings.
Another set of swings is situated near the heated swimming pool. A games
room is new for 2005. Situated behind the main building, in a converted
barn, it contains table tennis and various other games and occupations
for children as well as a multigym for energetic parents.

The house is surrounded by a
large, well-cared for garden, consisting of large grassy areas, some flower
beds and some unusual trees. There are benches and seats around for you
to find a quiet place to read or relax in the sunshine or shade. Petanque
can be played anywhere in the garden. There is also a badminton set, a
football net and a selection of chidren's bicycles. Several adult bicycles
are also available for which there is no charge.
The heated swimming pool measures 11.5x5 metres and is the salination type (no sore eyes). It has a large poolside terrace, poolside loungers and parasols, underwater lighting as well as poolside lights. It is securely fenced for child safety, has a safety ledge all round, and the gates are heavily sprung. There are 3 wide steps all the way across the shallow end which are used a lot by small children., the first one being in about 20 cms of water. The pool is heated from mid May to mid September.
A short walk from the property, along a quiet lane, is a large and well stocked fishing lake. All our visitors may fish here. It adjoins the footpath taken by St Jacques de Compostelle on one of his pilgrimages. |
