Description
Eco-Gites of Lenault is a spacious gite in a quiet rural location that sleeps up to 5 people and a baby in a travel cot. It is situated on our smallholding in the Normandy countryside and at various times you can come and collect eggs and help feed the animals if you wish. The pigs are always up for a back scratch too.
For those wishing to have a relaxing holiday whilst the children wear themselves out, adults can relax in their own garden whilst close-by there is a large play area for the children with covered area for shade or shelter. It includes swings, a slide, a play tower and a sand pit. Best of all though, the large trampoline has always proved very popular with many of our younger guests.
For visits in the cooler months the lovely wood burner (with fire guard if needed) gives a very cosy feel to the property and logs are included in your rental price. We provide a selection of books and games and there is a TV with DVD player.
For those travelling with young children we supply a wide range of kit including a travel cot, high chair, stair gates, toys, books, games, changing mat, potty, toilet seat, step, waterproof mattress covers, night light, children's crockery/cutlery and a bed guard. That should reduce down your packing!
On arrival you will find all the beds made and a welcome box ready for you including some home-made jam, a home baked cake or biscuits and a bottle of local Normandy cider. Enjoy!
For further details and to make a booking please contact us as soon as possible.
