External facilities
La Vieille Fromagerie luxury gite complex is set in 3.5 acres of tranquil grounds in the heart of sunny rural France. Each Gite has a private patio area with garden furniture and BBQ. The gites share a 10 x 5m fenced and alarmed swimming pool with sunloungers and parasols as well as a children's play area. Guests are invited to use the grounds for other games and activities.

Special features
A welcome basket of groceries to help you settle in upon arrival awaits you in the gite.

The gites have been recently converted from the old dairy where goats cheese was produced until the late 1960s. The local area still produces many varities of goats cheese with several to be found in the local markets.

We also offer B&B in our main house for those arriving or departing outside of the Saturday to Saturday changeovers in the gites.

Please note that we operate a strict no smoking policy in all buildings and around the pool area. We are sorry but we are unable to accept pets.
