From the owner

La Petite Ecurie is a pretty two bedroom stone cottage converted from an old stable building to provide accommodation for up to 4 people plus infant.

The cottage opens onto a courtyard on one side and has a private garden with terrace on the other. La Petite Ecurie is centrally heated and available for rental all year round- ideal for cosy Autumn/Winter breaks.

Guests have exclusive use of the pool (securely fenced, perfect for children) with garden furniture and sun loungers, which has its own south-facing terrace, overlooking the beautiful countryside. The pool is open from late-May to mid-September and is cleaned daily. Beyond the pool area is an enclosed paddock, ideal for ball games.

We have a range of garden toys and games for children.

2017 - 4 star rating - Tourisme-Vienne
