About this property
Dog friendly woodland paradise with heated pool.
Adjoining a national forest, "Les Rochers" is the only gite on this woodland domaine. It offers comfortable, spacious and exclusive accommodation for 4 people, plus a small child, occcupying the entire ground floor of our country house. There is a private outdoor terrace surrounded by beds of lavender, and extensive 5 acre grounds beyond with two children's play areas( infants swings/ older children's climbing challenge ; boules pitch; ping pong; badminton lawn; and a heated swimming pool for your exclusive use(closed midday/siesta time). Beyond the gates, numerous footpaths and bridle ways extend into the forest, making this an ideal location for lovers of wild life, rambling and mountain biking. This property is situated in a magic location along a part tarmac and part gravelled forest road, a few minutes from the village. It is perfect for all those seeking peace and tranquillity, and anyone with an interest in wild life and birds. Although it seems a world away, the nearby A75 autoroute leads to innumerable places of interest , such as Pezenas , Nimes and Carcassonne.The Mediterranean beaches are only a 50 minute drive away. The nearby medieval village of Soubes offers vibrant café life and a small shop, while the town of Lodeve has art galleries, cathedral, supermarkets and much more.

About the host
Your host
We are committed francophiles, originally from England(Joan) and Zimbabwe(Brian), but now loving life in France, where we have lived ever since we discovered this magic place seventeen years ago.
Why they chose this property
With reminders of Africa in the dry rocky landscape, vivid flowers and empty star laden skies, we fell in love with this wonderful location.
Joan says think of "Cragside" in Rothbury, but with a mediterranean climate.

What makes this property unique
The peace and quiet of this spot is very special, and we feel privileged to be able to enjoy the wonderful flora and fauna that surround us. Recently we have seen deer, red squirrels and a young fox in our garden, as well as myriad butterflies, wild orchids and varied bird life. And yet while the world seems far away, we can still enjoy the benfits of the wonderful towns and cities that are close by, such as Montpellier(only fifty minutes away..)
