About this property

A couples retreat where massages, Tai Chi and meditation are available to get your holiday off to a perfect start.
The beautifully restored gite dating back to 1798 oozes charm and character. With its huge oak beams and exposed stone walls it offers a true French gite experience, but with modern comforts.
Breathtaking views and wildlife are a haven for nature lovers. The gardens are beautifully maintained with table tennis, badminton and patong available.
Your private candlelit seating area is perfect for dinning and star gazing. The Milky Way can been seen from the gardens; a spectacular site.
A complimentary welcome food basket and bottle of wine will provide you with a light supper on your arrival day. Your first breakfast is also complimentary. A breakfast basket will be delivered to your patio or door at a convenient time.
Take a 15 minute walk in the morning to the village and collect your fresh croissants and baguettes, passing Chateau de Beauvais on your way.
The are some fabulous restaurants in the local area, the closed one just 10 minutes away in the local market town and one local brasserie will deliver to the gite.
With so much to do and see in the local area our destination really does allow you to do as much or as little as you wish.

Un cadre idyllique pour se reposer et profiter de la nature

Nous avons passé un merveilleux moment au Petit Coin! Nos hôtes étaient discrets et très attentionnés : panier de produits locaux a l’arrivée et premier petit déjeuner livré ! Tout est de qualité et très bien décoré, l’accès à la piscine nous est réservé presque toute la journée. Merci encore à nos hôtes pour ces superbes moments

About the host

Hosted by David & Christina Laycock

Our French life began in December 2018 when we embarked on a total renovation of the property. We followed our hearts to begin a 25 year dream. We renovated our hearts out for 18 months bringing the property and land back to life after years of neglect. It has been an epic adventure and pushed us in every possible way, but brilliant fun too. We have been fortunate to have travelled the world, but always kept being pulled back to France and knew one day we would call it home.

Why they chose this property

The character, charm and idyllic location are a heavenly blend. With so much to do, explore and discover it's hard to tear yourself away. The wildlife is incredible and can be observed from the garden and pool terrace. A particular favourite is the crane migration which happens twice a year, spring and autumn. A truly majestic sight with hundreds of birds flying overhead for weeks.
