The space
Sympathetically renovated, The Gites at Le Tilleul offers quality accommodation in two independent gites (Le Pommier and Le Cerisier) whilst retaining its natural French rustic charm. Across the two gites are two King-size, one double and two twin bedrooms sleeping 10 people comfortably between them, and all bedrooms have exposed beams and partially exposed stone walls.

In Le Pommier the Master bedroom has an en suite shower room, featuring a large walk in shower. From the ground floor entrance hall there are solid wood doors leading to all three bedrooms. All bedrooms are situated on the north side ground floor, thereby providing cooler sleeping conditions during warm summer nights. Also situated on the ground floor is the family bathroom offering a full size bath, w.c. and shower.

Rising from the entrance hall are the stairs which lead up to the light and airy open plan hay loft which retains many interesting features including the galleried stairs and the fully exposed roof structure. At the east end of the living area is the spacious lounge space with sofas, the wood burning stove, wide-screen TV with HD Satellite reception of UK FreeSat channels, Chromecast, DVD, Samsung Quality Bluetooth Speaker and i-pod docking station.

At the west end, the open plan kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances including a double built in oven, large fridge/freezer, washing machine, microwave, dish washer and coffee machine. The dining area features a large farmhouse table which seats 6 and from both kitchen and lounge, French doors provide access to the very large (5m x 3m) south facing wooden balcony/first floor terrace. This is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing morning coffee or watch the sun go down with a glass of the local red! It is also totally secure so the ideal indoor/outdoor, safe place for toddlers and young children to play outdoors whilst being supervised from the living area.

In Le Cerisier gite, on the ground floor, both the lounge and kitchen/dining room have ceramic tiled floors, ideal for those hot summer days. Both rooms have external doors which lead out on to the south facing patio, which is equipped with patio table and chairs and electrically operated parasol. The double aspect living room benefits from UK satellite TV, Chromecast, DVD player and i-pod docking station.

The kitchen has been designed around the original bread oven which remains a feature at the rear, whilst the original thresher gearing is a feature on the dining area wall. It has been refurbished to a very high standard with all major kitchen appliances (Washing Machine/Dishwasher/Fridge Freezer/ Oven/Hob) being Bosch and also provided is a Krups individual 'pod' coffee machine which is capable of producing Espresso, Caffe Lungo, Cappuccino, Cortado and Mocha - so no need to miss out on your usual morning 'real coffee' fix, just because you're on holiday!.

Stairs rising from the dining area lead to the first floor landing, which has a small feature window and storage cupboard. The stairwell and landing have exposed oak beams and solid oak features.

To the right, the main bedroom has an oak bed and a generously proportioned en-suite shower room with large shower and twin wash hand basins. The shower room's white on grey colour scheme showcases the quality of the fittings and accentuates the overall sense of luxurious quality.

On the left of the stairs is the twin bedroom which also has it's own en-suite facilities - this time a modern bath with shower Two full size twin beds ensure comfort and there is ample storage in the wardrobe, chest of drawers and bedside tables. (Note - it is possible to add a infant/child bed if required).

Both bedrooms have spectacular southerly views over the garden and the rolling countryside beyond and both have full length windows with are fitted with attractive wrought iron safety rails.

All rooms have exposed oak beams and at least one exposed stone wall (with the exception of the master en-suite shower room, which has no exposed stone) and this, combined with the modern refurbishment which the property has undergone, provides a sympathetic combination of period character and modern convenience, ideal for a comfortable and relaxing holiday.
