Description from owner

Description

Les Hirondelles is a charming stone built guest cottage set in the private and tranquil gardens of Le Debonnaire. Climbing up from the historic village of St Maurin, it is accessed via a long private drive shaded by oak trees. Totally private, tranquil and surrounded by fields of sun flowers, it offers the perfect holiday retreat for families of up to 6. The house offers 3 double bedrooms, each with a bathroom, an open kitchen/dining area which extends to a large lounge with an open fireplace, overlooked by a mezanine balcony. French doors from the lounge open to an enclosed patio, with a sun shade and BBQ, which enjoys views of the front park and drive. It's own dedicated outdoor pool is close to the patio, fully fenced and perfect for young children with adult supervision. The cottage is surrounded by rose bushes, fruit trees and lawns, with ample dedicated parking. Plenty of rural walks and cycle routes extend from the end of the drive.
