Peace of mind is essential for a relaxed holiday
We have made adjustments wherever possible to make your family holiday as safe as possible. However we wish guests to also enjoy a traditional French farmhouse experience and have retained the character of the property by keeping alterations and safety features sympathetic to the environment.
The accommodation may therefore not be considered a safe place for every individual. We’re happy to talk through any additional accommodations that are reasonable to arrange in advance of your stay.

Inside
The accommodations and playroom are planned to be as versatile as possible (e.g. transportable soft-play matting is available; a gate is available to prevent access to the stairs; additional sofa beds are in the downstairs areas and sensory playroom, in case this is considered safer by parents etc.). Windows have additional child-friendly safety locks (key operated).
However, the downstairs floors are stone throughout and there are several ‘no-go’ areas on the property (e.g. a remote-control operated garage with machinery and tools, which we keep closed at all times when guests are on-site). In the unlikely event that heating is required, this is via a large wood burner downstairs and electric radiators upstairs. So vigilance will still be required.
Outside
The property is not enclosed by a fence and leads on to fields and vineyards on all sides. Therefore it is advisable to keep the doors locked when inside, as it’s not always possible to have your children in sight at all times. Your gîte has three separate doors for private access and also a low window from the bathroom on to the garden (lockable). When not using the pool, it is strongly advised to use the available cover, which is easy to arrange with the turn of a key.
