La Tringale was built in 1820 and was a working farm for many years. Until recently it had been the home of three generations of the same family, some of whom still live locally.
Ron and Bunty arrived from Norwich, England in August 2002 and immediately commenced work on renovating the main farmhouse and the attached cottage. They are delighted to offer the 3 bedroom Stone Cottage, the 2 bedroom Gite and 3 rooms for B&B (2 doubles and 1 twin room, in the main farmhouse); all offering Oak beams and other character features throughout. Holiday-exchange considered.
The site, which offers peace, tranquility and security, includes patios with furniture, a children’s play area, guests’ barbeque/picnic areas and a large grassed-area to the rear, which is ideal for ball-games or relaxation, and a large landscaped-pond with numerous goldfish, frogs, newts and moorhens. There is ample parking space and a laundry room /drying facilities.
