Accommodation The main living area is on the first floor which can be accessed either externally via steps (see photo) or internally from the 3rd bedroom also via some steps. Given the mezzanine floor and steps, the accommodation is not really baby or toddler friendly. The captain's bed in bedroom 2 is a double mattress and will sleep 1 or 2 depending on size/age e.g. we have had 2 smaller 12 year olds or an adult and a child share, but not at the same time! If you need any advice on suitability, just ask. This is a good sized room and there is plenty of space for an additional inflatable bed on the floor if needed (can be supplied). All the rooms are well heated with electric radiators and of course the wood burning fire in the lounge. The house is fully approved by the French tourist board and has a 3 star rating. Bed linen is included but not towels, which can be supplied at additional cost. There is a telephone for emergency use only.
Amenities/Facilities provided
Outside The house is set in 2 acres of garden and forest, so, there is no shortage of space if the kids (or adults) want to play football or just about any other game for that matter. There is plenty of exploring to be done, so, budding 'Famous Fivers', get going! There is a table-tennis table, large BBQ and sun loungers for the summer. Further details The area around the house and generally is perfect for those who enjoy being outside, so, ideal for families, couples and anyone else... with some breathtaking walks, mountain biking, climbing, acro buech (climbing around on wires in the trees...! at La Jarjatte) canoeing, down hill biking (La Jarjatte - August only) hot air ballooning and gliding to name but a few. From the house there are literally miles of marked walking and biking trails that take you through the forest and up through the mountains. You can walk to the top of the Chamouset or to the "lake on top of the mountain"...! From a gentle ramble to the near vertical there is something for everyone. We enjoy mountain biking along the marked forest trails, the air is clear and just so peaceful it really is fantastic. The village also has a large outdoor heated pool which is open from June - August the last time we were there the water was a very pleasant 26 degrees. If you drive to Serres (about 30 minutes) there is a huge reservoir which also incorporates a large swimming and sunbathing area together with pedalo/boat rental. It is a good day or half day excursion and not expensive. The village also has a tennis court which you can book at the local produce store...of course! In the summer, there are two markets a week in the village and if you are there at the right time, sometimes a fun fair or circus. If you don't feel like cooking or BBQing, there are two restaurants/hotels in the village. However, our favourite eatery is a 5 minute walk from the house. Les Pervenches serves fantastic homemade food with most of the ingredients grown in the garden. With the house wine at around 4.00 euros a bottle, the food and wine bill won't break the bank...! Outdoor activities are not compulsory and chilling out with a good book in the conservatory or garden are just as effective from a therapy point of view. The Local Area Distances Coast/Beach Skiing If you want a more extensive ski area, drive for 50 minutes (realistic as we tried it in Jan 2008) towards Gap and head up to La Joue du Loupe which is also linked to Super Devoluy. There is an extensive network of ski runs and lifts and we were really impressed with the variety of skiing, facilities and general atmosphere. Ski passes for a full day were 26.50 euros for an adult and 21.20 euros for a child (under 12) 20.65 & 16.50 euros respectively for a half day pass.
