Les Cardonnerets is a barn adjacent to La Maison du Blé. It has been
converted to accommodation of the highest standard, but it retains much
of its rustic charm, with exposed stone walls and original beams. It is
located 4 kilometres from Les Alouettes in a neighbouring village.
The property accommodates 9 adults / children plus up to two infants in
comfort. As with our other properties, care has been taken to ensure
that the sleeping and living areas are clearly delineated, and that the
occupancy has not been stretched. This means no bunk beds or sofa beds,
and proper cots (not travel cots) are provided.
The Heated Swimming Pool
The swimming pool measures 12m by 6m plus a 8m square paddling area
(30cm or one foot deep) for younger children. The pool is heated
(for comfort) and fenced (for security). The pool uses a saline
sterilisation system rather than a more conventional "chlorine"
system - this is said to be kinder to skin and eyes. A play area
with wendy house, slide, swings and sand pit is situated outside the
pool fence, and there is plenty of space for impromptu football
games.
The pool and
play facilities at Les Chardonnerets are
shared with the neighbouring property
La Maison du Blé.

Your holiday home is entered from the private parking area via French
doors. On entering, you find yourself in a large kitchen / dining room
(about 20 feet by 27). The dining table seats ten in comfort. Booster
seats and high chairs are provided. There is a sofa for relaxing while
dinner cooks and
a child sized table and chairs for colouring, etc..
|
The kitchen is fitted and fully equipped with dishwasher, cooker, large
fridge / freezer, washing machine, tumble dryer, coffee maker, toaster and
microwave. A welcome pack is provided with bread, wine, cheese, eggs,
coffee, etc. Children's tableware is provided as are unbreakable glasses
for use by the pool and Tupperware for picnics and leftovers. A full

Outside a large covered veranda provides you with plenty of space to eat
al fresco, a barbeque and a sitting area. A patio heater is provided
for off season lets.
Through an open archway from the kitchen is the living area sitting with
sofas and easy chairs for nine people, a collection of books and games,
and a CD player for your choice of music. Also in the living area is a
TV video player and a DVD player with a selection of children's and
adult videos. The
property is equiped with a satelite receiver for BBC (including the all
important Ceebeebies and CBBC channels!), ITV and other English language
services.
We have a range of DVDs that can be borrowed without charge. Space is
set aside for children’s toys. This is an ideal place for you to
relax once children have gone to bed
|
Up the oak staircase (with stairgates) you will find the
five
bedrooms.
There are two double rooms (both with ensuite facilities)
and
two twin rooms.
A
further
single room with its own vanity unit makes an ideal room for Grandma, or
perhaps the nanny. There is also a family bathroom, with a full
sized bath and an especially low sink just for the children (with a
higher one for the parents).
The decoration and furnishings in Les Chardonerrets have been carefully
chosen to provide a well appointed accommodation, but one in which you
will be able to relax whilst your children enjoy their holiday.
High
chairs, linen, towels (bath and beach) are provided, as is mid-stay
cleaning for parties staying longer than one week. All utilities are
included. Pre-prepared meals can be provided, and babysitting services
can be arranged.
