• TennisAvailable in the nearby town of St Junien
• GolfThe 18-hole golf club is in a lovely setting. If you are one who views golf as a friendly, wholesome way to let off steam, you will feel perfectly at home at Golf de Saint Junien. To be sure, the course offers everything you need to perfect your handicap but there is no need to focus solely on golf. It's a challenging course with matching facilities. What initially strikes visiting golfers is the superb location of the golf course. Newcomers to the site find major challenges in adapting to the hilly terrain. A different choice of clubs is required, different golf techniques and not least getting used to the strain on one's calves. Once these hurdles are overcome, the verdict is unanimous: a great course, magnificent views and a very pleasant atmosphere

Notes

• Notes on accommodation: Le Petit Pre is a four story house that was built in 1888. It retains many of it's original features and has been decorated in a mix of modern and vintage styles. As with many rural French houses, the hot water heating and kitchen cooker are supplied by canister gas and the toilets are flushed into a septic tank. The house has a heating system although we don't turn it on during the summer months as there is no need! There is free 1 MB wi-fi for guests usage. The house is suitable for children. We have a 12 year old and a 7 year old, and have enjoyed many holidays at the house with children of all ages. However, the stairs are very steep and young children do need to be supervised to ensure they don't stick things, or fingers, into sockets. Outside: Outside of the kitchen there is an external covered lounging area that enjoys the evening sunsets, with 2 armchairs and a sofa. Next to the barn there is a further covered outdoor kitchen for BBQ and other alfresco dining, with charcoal BBQ and gas 4 ring hob (canister gas) and a Mexican style BBQ oven. It houses a hardwood outside table that can comfortably seat 8+ on the large decked area (in range of the wifi) - perfect for a lazy breakfast as the sun comes up and it gets the sun all day long and late into the evening! The 4 person hot tub is under cover next to the deck and enclosed by curtains for privacy if required! Utility Room: The utility room is cleverly situated in the cellar, with a low ceiling, and includes a sink and new washer/dryer, as well as storage and a lovely roll top Victorian style claw foot bath with hand held shower. Cleaning / Towels / Linen / Maid service: Pillows and duvets are provided, as is all linen and towels. The property will be cleaned prior to arrival. Other: There is a separate toilet on the ground floor and additional toilet in the upstairs shower room. The house comes with free 2 MB wi-fi broadband access (unlimited) and free local telephone calls
