Former Napoleonic era farm with five stone cottages (three or four bedrooms), enclosed garden/playground, secure heated in-ground pool and heated splash pool. Quiet, rural retreat but not far from excellent markets and beaches

HELENE AND MICHAEL COXHEAD welcome you to:

2 detached cottages in historic Hunting Lodge Estate. Fronting onto the same courtyard both have been extensively restored and together have 5 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and 2 shower rooms. For larger groups this means you can have both privacy and get together when you want to. A large shared conservatory can be be used as a dinning area and sun lounge and will accommodate everyone together.

The large heated swimming pool is only shared with the main house which means it is virtually sole use. Lots to do both inside La Briquerie and out.
