Situated in the beautiful countryside with views over the vines and sunflower fields, this old Hunting Lodge has recently undergone an extensive renovation and is perfectly located for a peaceful holiday whilst still offering a wealth of reachable amenities in every direction. All the bedrooms are spacious with their own bathrooms. Two bedrooms are located on the ground floor, and the two first floor suites offer dressing areas and one contains a day bed for an additional younger child. The sociable central kitchen is well equipped for all your catering needs, and the double doors lead out to a shaded dining terrace overlooking the orchard and fields beyond. There is the added bonus of an outside kitchen with another al fresco dining area beside the swimming pool. With over two acres of gardens there is plenty of space for outdoor games, and also perfect to find a quiet shaded spot to read. Guests will also have use of a private on site gym, and for the cycling and walking enthusiasts there are an amazing choice of stunning routes for miles in any direction. There are a couple of local restaurants within a few minutes drive of the gite, and the new artisan boulangerie is a walk across the fields. Baignes is less than a 10 minute drive with a pretty town square, a bar, crepperie, pizza takeaway and a couple of restaurants, plus a supermarket.
