What's the house like?
Les Noyers (named after the walnut tree in the garden) is a very quiet, south facing, single story, stone-built house with spectacular long-distance views. It is situated in a very peaceful small hamlet immediately adjacent to an equally tranquil, unspoilt small village.
It has two bedrooms, each with double beds. One of the bedrooms has a connecting bathroom and large shower. Off the boot room there is a sink, second shower and lavatory. There is also a washing machine. Next to the new kitchen/dining area there is a sitting room, with a hi-fi and record player for vinyl disks, and a selection of books. There is a CD player in the kitchen and a wood-burning fire/stove.
Electric wall heaters are in every room. There is no television.
By using the put-u-up sofa in the sitting room it sleeps six.
Garden table and chairs, loungers, parasol, two bicycles and also a charcoal bar-b-q are provided.
The house has been fully renovated, with entirely new heating, plumbing and electric circuits throughout.
Parking for 2-3 cars is provided.
What about phones and internet?
The house is not on the phone, but mobile (or cell) phones work from inside the house. There is a public phone box in the village. No coins. A France Telecom or other card is necessary, enabling direct dialling.
Wi-fi is rumoured to be coming to the village soon.
