Situated along a quiet back-road, yet within easy walking distance of the town Mareuil Sur Lay, our Gîte, Maison L'Écureuil Rouge ( Red Squirrel House ),is a new, light and airy bungalow that was completed in August 2006, and built in a quiet corner of the 4.5 acre park like gardens of the main house.
For the privacy and comfort of our guests, Maison L'Écureuil Rouge has its own private driveway, parking and south-facing garden with mature trees offering some welcome shade in the summer months.
The size and layout of the house makes it perfect for family holidays. We can also accommodate couples, single people (golfers, fishermen, etc.) and the property is wheelchair friendly.
The house comprises a lounge / dining room with French doors opening on to the garden, a good sized, modern, fully-fitted open- plan kitchen with built in oven and hob, fridge freezer and washing machine. There are two bedrooms (one with double bed and one with two singles) and a wc /shower room.
There is a further room housing the hot water tank which can accommodate another bed, if required, and an "auvent" (a covered terrace area) with views over the garden. This was designed specifically for "dining al fresco"… perfect for wining and dining until the early hours!
Every room of the house benefits from floor tiling and the shower room is a full wet room with "Douche Italienne".
The grounds are a haven for wildlife and the red squirrels can often be seen playing and "stashing" nuts from the walnut trees. Depending on the time of year, you may hear the toads croaking around the pond, see a rabbit or hedgehog, and if you are really lucky catch a glimpse of a kingfisher. Bird lovers can also look out for our "resident" woodpeckers (both green and great spotted) cuckoo, jays, hoopoes, red starts and countless other songbirds and birds of prey soaring overhead.
Additional information:
There are indoor and outdoor games for the children and a selection of English language books for all.
Cot and high-chair available on request.
A welcome pack (essential tea and coffee making ingredients etc.) awaits your arrival.
