The gardens and pool
The Bergerie is set in about four acres, with extensive views to all aspects. With woods and flower meadows everyone can find somewhere to relax.
For the children there is a play area with swings and a slide and an exciting old "charrette " (farm cart) to serve as den and much more to the fertile imagination.
The centre piece of the garden is the building which gave the bergerie its name - an old sheep pen which is now used as the pool house. This provides cover from the hot sun of the afternoon, a room to change in and a prime spot to take evening drinks while watching the sun set.
The pool itself is 9x4 metres, sanitised by salt (better for the skin they say) and covered to French safety standards by a motorised shutter for safety and insulation. The solar panels keep the temperature up in the early and late months.
Our two hens, Betty and Hetty generally are very free rangeing. Children are very welcome to help feed the hens and collect the eggs.
We also have two cute little donkeys, known as Lucy and Rosie , suitable for donkey rides for smaller children and walks for all ages.
