Description from owner

Description

COVID 19: we have a Covid Control policy in place which is available to read on request. In order to protect our guests and the changeover team this means that amongst other things, we are leaving 53 hours between lets and quarantining some items such as family games, Xbox games, books, crockery etc for at least 7 days between lets. This means that provision of these items is reduced compared with normal. The Games Room continues to be open but we ask guests to respect essential hygiene measures. We provide masks and virucidal gel to support this.

With an entirely private, heated swimming pool (sits at 28-30°C if air temperature is more than 15°C), which is never shared with anyone else, and access to a games room (normally shared with Le Verger but for your use only under our Covid Control Policy) with pool, table tennis, table football and darts, families or couples can choose their own style of holiday at our country cottage, La Joie du Muguet (generally referred to as Le Muguet). Relax in privacy sitting on one of the terraces or in the shade of fruit trees, enjoy the pool with its shallow end that's perfect for children or enjoy all sorts of activities: games in our games room plus boules and nearby outside activity centres (Go Ape style / Parcours accrobranche), fishing, golf, horse riding, cycling (2 bicycles (adult sizes) provided free of charge), sailing, walking, shopping at local markets, zoos, activity centres, museums ..... or visit the renowned châteaux and vineyards - or enjoy a mix of both relaxation and activity.

With a kitchen sensibly equipped for a family and a charcoal barbecue, you can choose to self-cater or you can eat out at one of the many restaurants in the surrounding towns and villages all of which welcome children.

Bedroom 1 suits a couple in the French Kingsize bed (200cm long x 160cm wide).

Bedroom 2 is just right for a couple and 2 children. COVID 19 note: we normally also provide a travel cot but regretfully we are unable to at present. The French Kingsize bed (160 x 200 cm) in Bedroom 2 can also be made up as 2 singles making this room great for up to 4 children (+ normally a baby in the travel cot, just not at present ).

Although the swimming pool is not heated from mid- September until Easter, the Games Room is open all year for darts, pool, table tennis, table football and ballet barres.

As owners we are a family that lives in France and we, and those who help in the maintenance of this property, can offer you knowledge of our area that only comes with having lived there for many years. If you have any questions that this information hasn't answered, please do just contact us and we will always do our best to provide a full response. We and those who help us live near enough to the cottage to be helpful but far enough away to avoid being intrusive.

However, with the key safe you are free to arrive whenever you like after the gîte becomes available but either ourselves (Felicity & Chris) who live on the main site or British friends (Sue & Andy), who live nearby, are always available to answer questions by phone or text or help if things go wrong or if you can't work the washing machine etc. (Normally we or our friends make a welcome visit the evening after you arrive.

“Great family rental”

Reviewed 1 Aug 2022

We had a a really comfortable stay at Le Muguet. The pool was lovely, the kids loved it. The facilities were excellent inside & out. Very good Wifi. Satellite TV. The kitchen was very well stocked, and the gas bbq was first class. The games room was large and the games tables were in excellent condition. The owners were very friendly and helpful. The local town (5 mins) has a lovely boulengerie and well stocked supermarket. There are several larger supermarkets within 15-20 mins. It is a good location for many activities. A highlight for our kids was Les Farmers Lac de Hommes with it's large floating inflatables on the lake. Loads of fun. Highly recommended!

Reviewed 18 May 2018

What an absolutely brilliant place to stay, i can not fault the cottage, all you need is there for your convenience and a smooth start to your holiday, the welcome pack is amazing. The hosts are ever so helpful and a mind of information. Drinking coffee on the patio in the morning listening to the bird song sends you a million miles from your hustle a bustle life, drinking a cold glass of fizz in the warm evening watching the sun go down is the perfect end to the day before retiring to your very comfy bed. All we can say is thank you it was AMAZING !!!!! John & Maddi
