(Sister property La Tonnellerie sleeps 4) NB 7-day minimum rental Sun-Sun during July and August The space L'Entrepôt (the old wine warehouse) is a 3 bedroom self-catering house, with outdoor pool and gardens, only 320 miles (4/5 hours' drive) from Calais, on easy motorways. It sits within the Domaine Richot, along with its sister property (La Tonnellerie) in the walled grounds of a former wine merchant’s property in the centre of the village. There is plenty of space for secure parking, with 2 acres of communal gardens, an outdoor 12m x 6m secluded pool, grass badminton court, TT table and large 'Treetops' climbing frame. Both houses are some distance apart, with their own privacy, and so can be rented either individually or together if two families are holidaying at the same time. The house has been tastefully renovated with a vintage French feel and authentic (child friendly) furniture. It comprises a large open-plan lounge and dining room with a woodburner for the cooler months. It is kitted with large flat-screen TV, and DVD player. The separate kitchen is fully equipped with simple white crockery and practical cooking pans. Wi-fi is fast and reliable. There is a WC/shower room and laundry area on the ground floor, with a back door opening out onto the large back terrace and al fresco dining area. There are three bedrooms (one double and two twin) and one large bathroom on the first floor. Beds are all made in crisp white linen ready for your arrival, along with large luxury towels. We have aimed to make the houses as we would like to find a holiday home ourselves: with quality bedding and towels (NB pool towels are not included) and a practical feel to the everyday running of the kitchen and bathrooms. There are always teabags, sugar and milk on your arrival to ensure the beginnings of a comfortable stay. Pets allowed by arrangement. Guest access Guests will be able to park their car, and close the gates, in the yard at the front of the property. L'Entrepôt also has a garden and terrace at the back (equipped with seating for dining al fresco, parasol and bbq). Guests also have access through a side gate to the rest of the grounds including the outdoor pool, gardens, fields, climbing frame, TT table and badminton court. These facilities are shared with La Tonnellerie and the owners, when they are in residence.
