Stylish Family Friendly Gite, Village Location, with Shared Pool & Games Barn

L'Etable is one of a cluster of 4 character gites at La Fermette France in South Western France which share a 10mx5m swimming pool, Games Barn, and Orchard field with Boules pitch so there is plenty of room for a socially distanced holiday.

L'Etable is an old stone cowshed converted into a stylish 2 bedroomed gite with exposed stone walls and original beams, and packed full of baby and toddler kit designed to make your stay stress free. As well as the usual high chair, travel cot and stairgates we go one step further in also providing a whole host of other items including steriliser, baby bath, baby/toddler cutlery, crayons & paper, socket covers, and kitchen cupboard locks to name but a few.

The ground floor is dominated by an original Charentaise fireplace (not used) and the modern kitchen well equipped for comfortable holidays - the dining table seats up to 8, ideal for sociable evenings enjoying good food & excellent local wine!.... the TV has UK Freeview channels.

The master bedroom has a comfortable king size bed and room for a cot or travel cot if required. The bedroom next door is perfect for children (or grandparents) with twin beds & shutters at the window which act as blackout blinds (essential if you wake as soon as the sun shines in the morning!).

The south facing garden, a real suntrap, is great for relaxed BBQ's in the evening once the children are tucked up in bed (we have a baby intercom for peace of mind). The separate orchard field is ideal for kids to run around, or just watching the sun go down over the fields. We now also have a boules pitch in the field - get the boules from the Games Barn. Please help yourself to any fruits in season in the orchard field (peaches, cherries, pears, figs, quince and walnuts)……and if you feel active you can play table tennis, or table football in the Games Barn, or pack a picnic and head off for a cycle ride on the bikes, or maybe take the body boards to the beach...... And of course there is also the 10m x 5m shared pool surrounded by terrace and lawn providing real family space - it's fenced off for safety - the long first step into the pool is an ideal shallow area for toddlers to splash around safely.

The pool, games barn and orchard field are shared with guests staying in the other gites in the cluster at La Fermette France. Our other gites are:

> L'Ecurie, (property no. 6524561), the spacious studio apartment next door to L'Etable is ideal for grandparents. It's large enough to accommodate a travel cot (which we can supply)
> La Fermette farmhouse, (property 6524557) sleeps 7 and can accommodate families travelling together.
> Le Chai (property no. 6524559) has a gallery bedroom and sleeps 3


Please note that we can be flexible with changeover days and length of stay as required.

Perfect Getaway
Spent a long weekend with a bunch of friends and enjoyed our stay immensely. The whole complex fit 13-15 of us perfectly but we met up for mealtimes in the main farmhouse. It's a home away from home and is equipped for indoor and outdoor dining! It's in a tiny hamlet an hour away from Bordeaux. It's rural setting was the perfect place to get away from it all as we live in a big city. The hosts have a games barn with bicycles to cycle to the nearest boulangerie/cafe/restaurants and of course to explore the countryside. Discovered a great little farmers market in the nearest village called St Genis where the older generation still pay by cheque! If you don't want to cook there is also a great local restaurant nearby which caters for any dietary needs if you book in advance. I am definitely returning to La Fermette! Thanks for having us!

L'Etable - incredibly well-equipped and spacious.
We recently stayed for a week and thoroughly enjoyed the wonderful L'Etable, which was incredibly well-equipped and spacious. Its in a quiet and picturesque hamlet, but only 10 minutes from the nearest town and lovely local restaurants, we definitely did not run out of things to do. Saint-Emilion and Bordeaux are also only an hours drive away and were definitely worth the short journey, especially if you are a wine lover!! We will definitely be highly recommending L'Etable and can't wait to return! Thank you so much to Lesley and Felix for being so helpful!

Heerlijk verblijf!
Wij hebben een heerlijk verblijf gehad in woning L’Etable. Het huisje was netjes en goed ingericht. We hebben genoten in het prachtige zwembad. Dit kleine complex ligt in een heel rustig, klein plaatsje, voor ons perfect als uitgangspunt voor uitstapjes naar bijv. de kust, Bordeaux en La Rochelle. ‘s Avonds kun je een wandeling maken langs velden vol zonnebloemen. De kinderen kunnen spelen om het huis, op het grasveld met jeu-de-boules-baan of spelletjes doen in de gamesbarn. Ook zijn er fietsen te leen. Felix en Lesley zijn zeer gastvrije hosts. Wij hebben genoten!

L'Etable
We had a nice holiday in L'Etable in the quiet little village Bribaudon. It's a spacious and well-equiped gite, perfect for 4. Our children enjoyed the toys and drawing material in the gite, they could play in the games barn and off course, they had great fun in the pool! It's ideal for a family holiday.
