Vacation Rental Description
Carefully renovated to retain its character with original exposed beams. La porcherie is part of an old farm "Le Grand Pré" (the great meadow) which is set in a tranquil rural location, with unspoilt views of the gently rolling countryside. The night sky is full of stars and a sight not to be missed. A perfect place for relaxing and a safe environment for the children to play. The site is 200m off a quiet country lane with open fields all around and very private, yet only 8km from the old market town of La Châtre with all amenities and many excellent restaurants. An area which still retains its traditional French lifestyle with many Chateaux,forests,lakes and rivers to explore. An excellent base for walking,cycling and exploring. The quiet country lanes are perfect for cycling. The resident English owners live across the garden in the farmhouse and look forward to making your stay as comfortable as possible offering help and advice when needed.
