Taking the
"self" out of "self-catering"
Although our gites
and holiday homes are advertised on a self catering basis, we are
pleased to be able to offer options for providing meals. For families
with children, these confer an extra level of flexibility, allowing
you to enjoy days out at the beach without having to worry about
cooking dinner. We can arrange to have a meal waiting for you when you
first arrive allowing you to relax into your holiday.

All the meat we
use is "Label Rouge" or similar which shows it comes from
producers with properly audited wealfare standards. For poultry
this means free range, while beef and veal is outdoor reared on
grass spring, summer & autumn. Eggs are from free range flocks or
from our own hens (left).
