Amid forty acres sprawling over a hilltop above the Gartempe valley, Le Repaire is a classic French farm in a courtyard setting. The 19th Century stone and tiled roof barn has been sympathetically converted to provide three large holiday cottages ('gîtes'), Hirondelle, Martinet and Gartempe.
A four bedroom gite with huge rooms, exposed beams, log burning fireplace and original stonework throughout with panoramic views of the countryside overlooking the Gartempe valley.
Gartempe comfortably sleeps 8 people (10 by arrangement).
It has a fully fitted and well equipped eat-in kitchen with fridge/freezer, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine and utility room with additional fridge and separate freezer.
There are tiled floors with rugs throughout the ground floor, a downstairs cloakroom and an additional TV room with sofa bed equipped with TV, DVD player, VCR and games console.
The large open plan dining area has a table and chairs with views through the French doors over the valley, as does the living area which has comfortable sofas and chairs.
There is a Stereo CD system in the Dining area.
And upstairs... gallery landing and wooden flooring throughout the first floor. Bedroom 1 has a king size bed with en-suite bathroom including a bath and separate shower, bedroom 2 overlooks the valley with a double bed, bedroom 3 overlooks the countryside with 2 single beds. Bedroom 4 has 2 single beds. Large family bathroom including bath with shower, toilet, basin etc....
There is also a private garden, with patio, BBQ and range of garden furniture.
"Thank you for providing us with such wonderful surroundings on our holiday. The care and effort you have put into Gartempe is obvious everywhere. We'll spread the word about your place. "
