POOL
Swimming pool 12m x 6m, depth 1m - 2m, with solar ring HEATING, paved surround, fully fenced with lockable gate to comply with safety regulations. There are stunning views over the surrounding countryside.
Note - the pool is shared between the 6 holiday cottages (all British owned) at Les Fosses, but no others are rented out commercially, so you may be the only ones there. Apart from one family with 2 young daughters, who would only be there for a couple of weeks in school holidays, the other owners have grown-up family or no children, and tend to come out of high season (lower ferry prices & airfares). Also to note - the other owners are all delightful & we've had many a good time over a bottle of wine (or two!) which could be your experience too..................

GARDENS & PARKING
GARDEN - three-quarter acre of gardens with lawned areas, trees & shrubbery (for privacy) and fabulous countryside views over fields - superb if it's a year for sunflowers. Sit on the terrace and watch the deer come out to play from the woodland in the distance!
