Saint Henry, Laurac, Languedoc.
Secluded Farmhouse, 5 bedrooms, sleeps 12 people.
Set in 40 acres of natural beauty, with heated pool.

Standing on the slopes of a valley, high above the fortified village of Laurac, the farmhouse stands on its own, down its own lane, its forty acres merging with moors and common land -- it is as if the house has the whole valley to itself. You can roam wherever you like in the valley and on the moors, enjoying the wildlife and views in all directions. Unless you wish to spend all day in or around the pool! Despite the rural calm, it is only ten minutes to the nearest supermarket and there are plenty of shops, cafes and restaurants in nearby towns and villages.

No longer a working-farm; we keep animals for our (and your) pleasure. We have a few sheep, two donkeys and two horses (which children may occasionally ride accompanied); cats and dogs to cuddle; rabbits, hens, ducks and pigeons to feed (including sometimes pet-lambs to bottle-feed).

Dominique & Tom, the owners, live in the converted bergerie (sheep-barn) attached to the farmhouse: each dwelling has its own veranda for dining outdoors, not overlooked by the other. You would share the pool and gardens with us, but in practice you would have these to yourselves much of the time --- and there is a lot of space in which to be on ones' own.

Ground floor: patio, entrance hall, dining and kitchen area (fridge/freezer, gas cooker; micro-wave, dish-washer, coffee-maker etc) downstairs bathroom (shower, h/basin, wc ), sitting-room with double-doors opening to veranda, open-fire, TV, video, stereo, phone.

The pool is solar-heated, specially insulated, making swimming comfortable until end October and has chlorine-free ultra-violet filtration system plus underwater lighting. The garden has sun-loungers, tables, chairs, barbecues and table-tennis table and paths, which lead off, down the valley and on to the moors.
