Description of holiday farmhouse near Salles Lavalette, Poitou-Charentes
Lymerac set in 12 acres surrounded by vineyards and sunflowers offers spacious and comfortable two and three bedroom accommodation.
The rural location with several randonnee tracks on the doorstep is ideal for the on-site pony riding with qualified (British Horse Society) instructor.
Take a stroll through the walnut orchard down to the lake or borrow our mountain bikes (small, medium and large) + baby seat and children’s bicycles / tricycle to explore this wonderful location.
The child friendly and floriferous enclosed courtyard has a huge sandpit, swings, chute and climbing frame. For the sporting we have badminton, table tennis, croquet and petanque, alternatively pour yourself a glass of grape juice and relax in the hammock or loungers in the shade of mature trees.
From the courtyard a child safety gate leads to the heated swimming pool with panoramic views over the Charente Dordogne border.
Your hosts Catherine and Ian live at Lymerac with their children and aim to make your stay as relaxing as possible. From the pre-arrival shopping service for late arriving guests (or those who simply do not want to start their holiday in a supermarket) to the pre-bookable babysitting Lymerac offers a stress free break.
