For gentle exercise there is space to play petanque or other outdoor games or simply relax enjoying the wonderful wildlife. Look out for the beautiful hoopoe birds and unusual butterflies and other interesting flora and fauna which abound in the vicinity.
The property is set in about eight secluded acres on the banks of the river Tude where you can fish for trout and two minutes from the river Dronne with it's fine sandy beach at nearby Aubeterre, officially recognised as being one of the prettiest villages in France.

A cot and high chair are available free of charge, as is an email retrieval service.

The Outdoor pool is 12M X 6M and is very popular and has a soft lining and easy entrance via the Roman steps. The surrounding area was levelled so that those clients who are wheelchair bound can go from the outside pool to Talbot and have access to the ground floor salon bathroom and bedroom.  We have some specialised equipment on site to make life easier.

The grounds are spacious and children are encouraged to explore and use the bottom field for football, cricket and making camps. There are swings for the under twelve’s. The hens love attention, especially titbits and small children are encouraged to help with the morning egg collection round.
