“Le Pichet” is a traditional mountain house built, as are many in the region, partly into the hillside. It adjoins “La Carrette”, the former farmhouse which we now also own, and which is our separate accommodation during your stay. Over the last 14 years we have lovingly restored Le Pichet to retain as much of the original stonework as possible (such as the “pas d’oiseaux” originally built for thatching purposes; in replacing the roof, we have kept and used wherever possible the beams of the old structure.) Tastefully furnished, and now hung with paintings by Rodney and embroideries by Eleri, we are proud to welcome you into this part of our home!

The house faces directly west, and benefits from superb light, particularly in the dining room and upstairs lounge during the afternoons and evenings. The actual living space covers 90m2 and comprises, on the ground floor which is tiled throughout:

A large dining-room / living area with oak table and seating for 6; wood burning stove, bibliotheque and sofa.

Kitchen, with oven, microwave, fridge-freezer, washing machine. You also have a slow cooker, as well as a fondue and raclette; the region boasts an incredible mumber of local cheeses!

Bathroom, with wc, basin and bath (with shower attachment).

From the dining room, a beautiful oak stairway leads you to the first floor, comprising:

Spacious, airy, high-ceilinged lounge/second bedroom, containing sofa, armchair, canap?igogne (which converts to sleep 2) television and a well stocked bookcase (both English and French). A large number of maps, walking-guides, and tourist information is at your disposal.

A charming, light, chalet-styled bedroom, with double bed, cupboards and shelving.

Le Pichet and La Carrette share a beautiful west-facing garden, which is for your exclusive use during your stay. Planted with roses, clematis, honeysuckle and herbs, it is a truly magical setting for relaxing, or painting, or dining outside. Garden furniture (Table, chairs, loungers) and barbecue are there for your use.
