    Le Cerisier

    Created out of an old open-ended hangar-style barn, we have attempted to mix old with new. Retaining and using as much exposed wood as was feasible, whilst maintaining a light and airy feel was our objective. We let our guests be the judge of whether we have achieved this and so far guest feedback suggests we have.
    Le Cerisier provides spacious, comfortable and well equipped accommodation with beautiful views over the countryside from the large french windows and patio.
    Le Cerisier has an open plan kitchen/dining and sitting area which leads to a separate shower room. An open wooden staircase takes you up to the spacious mezzanine bedroom featuring exposed original beams.
    The kitchen is fully fitted with full-sized gas cooker, microwave/grill oven and fridge with ice box as well as a kettle, toaster plus all the other kitchen and dining equipment you would expect and hope for in self-catering accommodation.
    The sitting area has a 2/3 seater settee plus a single chair, along with a tv/dvd player and a radio/cd player.
    The bedroom has a king-size bed, wardrobe, chest of drawers and bed side tables. A cot is available on request.
    The shower room has a corner shower, vanity sink unit, WC and a hairdryer.
