Both French and English satellite stations can be viewed on the 32" wide screen television, which has a DVD player connected; and the Radio / CD player is equipped with a iPod docking point for playing your own music.

The solid wood dining table seats 12 and crockery, cutlery and glassware for 12 place settings is provided. A games cupboard is stocked with plenty of family amusements and the sit-up bar (stools provided!) separates the dining room from the kitchen.

The custom-made kitchen is traditionally finished with oak worktops, a Belfast sink and a fully operational wood-burning stove. All modern essentials are provided including an electric oven and hob, dishwasher, two fridges, freezer, toaster, kettle and coffee pot. A multitude of pots, pans, roasting trays and cooking utensils are also available.

French windows from the kitchen open onto a private terrace which overlooks the pool and garden.
