Domaine Collin

All the rooms are sunny and bright with lovely large windows and views over the gardens. Three spacious reception rooms mean you’ll never feel on top of one another: the large drawing room has plenty of seating for ten, a collection of board games, table football and mini billiards. The dining room has a piano and a little sofa for a quiet read along with a huge table.

The hugely sociable kitchen runs from the front to the back of the house, with a large prepping island, another table for informal meals and all the kit you need along with a double oven and plenty of pots and pans. Bedrooms, one downstairs with its own shower, the master with an en suite, are all a good size and have fine views; the children’s room has triple bunks.

The gardens are a delight and you can picnic in the meadow beside the pool, or have a barbecue and eat on the dining terrace listening to birdsong – nature lovers and families will be happy here.
