The Main House is a fully functioning home built on two levels with three large oak beamed bedrooms, two of which are with Queen beds. In fact all the rooms are large and well furnished. The Key house feature is the 48m "voute", which is a rare example of a living space used in this way. Built over 400 years ago it is the centre piece of the house keeping it warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

We make a big effort to make sure you have everything you need to start with.

One of the main reasons why we have had such good reviews is not only our setting here on our fabulous hilltop but also the effort we put into making sure you have everything you need. Especially if you have just braved our country track for the first time, which is why we have this lost in Provence feeling.

Every year we update and inspect items replacing where needed. The only area we seem to have a problem with, is that we have a very soft water which has a very fine clay in it. This leads to our towels being not as soft as we would like no matter how much additional softener we add.

You will find your beds made up for you when you arrive and a welcome pack to help you settle in.
