Description
Les Ecuries has been designed to welcome both able and disabled guests with its wide doors, low level worktops in the kitchen, and a large downstairs shower room with wheelchair access, it has shower, basin and toilet.
As with all of our gites at La Julerie the ground floor is open plan with a corner kitchen with dining and salon areas; although there isn't any downstair bedroom whenever we have a guest who cannot manage the stairs a single bed is brought downstairs and placed at the rear of the salon behind a screen; if required, the sofa in the salon can be converted into a double bed allowing 2 people to sleep downstairs. Upstairs there are 2 bedrooms, one is a double and the other has twin bed; on the wide landing there is a s sofa which converts into a bed, it is large enough for 2 children or 1 adult. Although we do not keep a cot erected in this gite, one can be placed in the double bedroom or at their end of the landing, depending on the age of the child and the parents wishes. The upstairs bathroom has bath, with shower attachments which make it easier to wash the children's hair, basin and toilet.
This gite has a small lawned area in the front and through the french doors to the rear there is a patio area where the wooden table chairs and barbecue are normally situated, beyond the patio there is another small lawned area before the garden opens up to the large ares shared by all of the guests in the 4 gites. In this area you will find an elevated playhouse with swings, slide and a fireman's pole; wlesewhere in the garden there is a Wendy playhouse and a sandpit for the younger children.
Adjoining the gites you will find the large games room in which there is a table tennis table, a seating area, there is a section of books and some games and quite a few toys for the younger children; to the rear of the room there are 2 shower changing rooms and also a toilet. For security reasons access to the swimming pool is only through the games room; the pool is over 9m long by 4m width and has a level depth of approx 1.65m, at one end there are a set of Roman steps to give easy access and around the other 3 sides there are 2 narrow steps to assist one in getting out. With the level bottom it means that parents can stand anywhere in the pool and assist their children/infants to learn to swim; another feature of the pool is it has sliding glass panels which are opened in fine weather; I therefore describe the pool as indoor/outdoor. The level bottom and the sliding panels have proved to be a very popular features. The pool area is surrounded on 3 sides by a walled patio on which there are sun loungers
Sleeps 5-6 + babies in cot(s)
There is adequate parking space across the yard for all of the guests in the gites, but wheelchair users can park outside this gite
La Julerie is a mere 2km from Corseul & 10km from the historic town of Dinan. The lovely beaches of the "Cote d'Amor" are only 20km away. La Julerie is situated in a quiet rural setting away from main roads. As it slopes gently to the south it is a natural sun-trap. Over the past 18 months we have seen and listed over 50 different types of birds as the buildings attract many swallows.
At night time you will hear the owls, not cars! Our gites make an ideal location for families or groups who want to relax and enjoy Brittany's charms in peaceful surroundings.
