Introduction
Apple Tree is one of four cottages that have been restored to provide modern conveniences whilst retaining all the charm of a typical French farmhouse.
Leaving in lots of the original features, like granite walls and exposed oak beams.
A perfect place for all the family to unwind, either by the pool or under a tree with a good book and a glass of wine.

This is a really romantic cottage full of character. The comfortable lounge has arched granite door and windows, exposed oak beams and huge granite inglenook fireplace with a log burner.
The well equipped kitchen has vaulted ceilings and double doors that lead to a private patio area, complete with garden furniture, sun canopy and BBQ. From there out to the shared gardens and pool area.
On the 1st floor there is a large open plan bedroom with granite walls and exposed oak beams and an en-suite shower room.
The lounge has a bed settee, sleeping 2 in comfort so will accommodate 4 if needed.

There are two and a half acres of gardens with open views over undulating farmland.
The communal patio area has a brick BBQ, the ideal place for parents to get to know one another, while the kids play. We have had many an enjoyable evening with a BBQ and a few drinks.
The heated above ground pool is made of teak to fit in with the surroundings in the orchard. The pool is open from May - September.
The gardens are the ideal place to either relax by the pool, have a picnic under a tree, or just sit and read a good book while sipping a glass a wine.
There is a 14ft trampoline with safety nets, badminton, swings, boules pit, swing ball, football net, and basketball in the gardens, along with numerous games. In the covered veranda area there is table soccer and a darts board. The gardens are large and safe enough for children to play.
Just down the lane there is an 18 km Patrimoine walk through lovely countryside.
