We have just returned from the Gite at La Maison du Lac. This is a brand new purpose build barn conversion next to the owners property and we were privileged to be the first guests. The property is large and spacious and designed, finished and furnished to a high standard. If you have booked then you are in for a treat.
As you arrive you enter, through double wooden gates,your own private gravel courtyard. Within the courtyard there is a beautiful outside dining area, a gorgeous comfy sitting corner and further double gates leading to a bright white terrace and sparkling pool, with views across the fishing lake and garden. There is a fantastic BBQ and pots with flowers and other nice decorative touches that give a feeling of comfort and luxury. Around the pool are a selection of loungers and quality pool towels are provided.
The house opens onto the courtyard and is immaculate. Downstairs is a open plan space with beautiful furnishings and all the equipment you could need. Its is bright and light but remains cool.The stairs to the upper floor get a special mention as they are bespoke stone stairs and are quite a feature. Upstairs is gorgeous, with 4 large bedrooms, lovely wooden floors, exposed beams and finished to perfection. Beds are new and comfortable with nice linen and towels provided. There are 2 en-suite shower rooms and a lovely bathroom. It is a seriously delightful space. You will not be disappointed.
The lake is full of fish, my husband and son caught several during our stay, mostly carp, but the big one got away (it really did). It is a delightful lake with a nice walk around it and many clearings to either sit or fish. Take binoculars (I did not and wish I had) to watch the wildlife. Especially the Red Kites soaring above you.
Rob and Tracey are lovely, there if you need them and can provide lots of information on the area, but otherwise leave you to enjoy your holiday.
We have been holidaying in France for 18 years and have seen it all, this is by far the best and is great value and a reasonable cost for a sensational Gite, perfect pool, fishing lake and a lovely location.
