About this property

Family Friendly Spacious Comfortable Cottage and Garden. Rural and relaxing.

Next door to the main house at the former farm of Le Hamel Roger lies Kestrel Cottage. Part of the cider barn attached to the house has been renovated to create this spacious & comfortable self catering cottage. With many Original Features and all modern amenities it's a wonderful place to relax. It's great for families with plenty of space and lots to do on site and close to Kestrel Cottage.

Set in 1 acre of enclosed gardens with views across the valley, it's a great garden for playing, relaxing or alfresco dining. We have a fully fenced above ground 5m solar heated Swimming pool & an indoor Play Loft which has toys for our youngest guests through to teens.

We are an English family and live next door in the farmhouse. We can be on hand if needed or wanted and can run activity sessions for children.

There are miles of tracks on our doorstep so it's a great place for people who enjoy nature and an easy drive when you want a trip out.

Kestrel Cottage has a large living room with French and English telly, plenty of comfortable seating, games, books and a fireplace. An archway leads through to the dining room with seating for 10 and the well equipped kitchen. There is a downstairs shower room.

Upstairs you'll find a large landing area with sofabed, Tv (for dvd's) toys and games. You can use it as a playroom, quiet space or an extra bedroom. On the same floor is the family bathroom, a twin room with two single beds and a wooden cot and a double room.

Up again and you'll find another double bedroom and twin room with two single beds and space for another mattress to accommodate extra children. All the bedrooms have got wardrobes or hanging rails, drawers or shelves, lamps, bedding and bed linen.

Outside there is plenty of parking in front or behind the cottage. There is a table-tennis table under the shelter of a barn. There is a 'dustybarn' with lots of toys for creative, imaginative, adventurous play. There is a hammock, climbing frame, sandpit, swingset, playhouse, football goals, basketball hoop and large trampoline with safety net, fixed BBQ and outdoor furniture including a chiminea.

About the host

Hosted by Angela Scrase

Host profile image
We are a family of Mum, Dad, children (aged 20 - 9), one dog, three cats, ten chickens, two Ducks, one goat and one pig. Our dog is called Dobby, he's a lab crossed with something, he has a lovely temperament. He's great with children, new people & other dogs, also great with rabbits and lambs, cats by arrangement!

Why they chose this property

We moved here from London in 2007. We decided it was time for a slower pace of life. The truth is we are busier than ever! We really enjoy running the gite and meeting all the different people. Danny has turned a hobby into a business and runs his gardening company, I teach 'Discovering English' sessions in local infant and primary schools, we also welcome language students.
The country side is so beautiful and you really see the changing seasons. It's a wonderful place for children and they have so much space to play. We are easily accessible from the Uk so we still get plenty of time with family and old friends. Everyday is an adventure with something new to do, lots of challenges and it's not always easy, but one look around and it's certainly worth it!

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with the space here. We were very happy with our life in London with so much happening but we love it here with open countryside all around, village life, space to play and relax. It's simple and it's wonderful!
