La Manoir is an impressive house, which is very roomy & more than adequately accommodated our party of 11 (7 adults, 2 teenagers & 2 children). The house is very well equipped, not only with functional items, but also little extras that made our stay more comfortable & interesting. For example, the children enjoyed riding bikes around the village, there are plenty of books to read, pool floats, board games to play, toys for the youngest of the group to use, etc.
As mentioned previously, a great feature of the property is the pool area & outdoor kitchen. As well as being a great space, the views are wonderful. It was a popular & comfortable space for adults & children alike. We also spent a lot of time on the terrace, at the front of the property, in the evenings. It was a nice social space to drink wine whilst the kids watched a movie in the playroom!
Another very popular space for our party was the 3rd floor viewing terrace. Having some keen star gazers in the family, we would retire up there when the sun had set; we were rarely disappointed. On a clear night, we could see an abundance of stars, planets, constellations & even the Milky Way with the naked eye!
Serviès-en-val is a small village. Although it could be argued it has everything you might need, I would highly recommend ensuring you have a car to access the surrounding areas. The village highlights are definitely Le Cellier, the Co-Op Art & the very friendly lady in the Epicerie.
Overall, a very enjoyable stay.
