Vacation Rental Description
There are three bedrooms in total, each is equipped with a double bed, a wardrobe, bedside table with light, chair and mirror. As well as the standard furniture, each room has quilts, additional blankets and throws as well as a hot water bottle for the winter nights but rest assured, sheets are all that are needed during the summer months, as well as a selection of books.
Each room is bright and airy, original in character and has a lovely garden view which stretches out over the surrounding countryside.
LOUNGE
Situated on the first floor with panoramic views (over the garden and Rennes les Bains countryside), our comfortable six seater lounge has original terracotta tiles to maintain a cool environment during the warmer months but we have supplied blankets to snuggle into when the winter nights draw in. A new flat screen television has been installed with a dual DVD player/ stereo as well as a selection of films for days when nothing but comfort and movies will do.
IN ADDITION
We have left a Remington foot spa in the house for those of you who are staying at Maison Bethany to walk the Cathar trails or to visit the ski resorts, a hairdryer to save you bringing your own, plenty of books to exchange when you reach the end of yours, and a few board games to get everybody involved. A yoga mat with 2 DVD's for your use as well as UK Sky Freeview TV for your viewing pleasure.
KITCHEN and DINING ROOM
A fully equipped kitchen has been fitted with everything we hope you will need to cook and dine comfortably, as well as a typically French-style dining table and chairs with enough trimmings to make sitting down to eat a pleasant experience.
A washing machine has also been installed for you to use as needed.
GARDEN
Our large garden (situated directly opposite) has a large decking area that provides a great space for sunbathing, dining, and reflecting. Garden furniture in the form of wooden tables and chairs, sun loungers and parasols are provided to ensure that you utilise the garden to it's full potential.
A children's area is situated under the shaded area of the garden, (with swing and slide frame, as well as a sand pit) and the garden in it's entirety is entirely fenced in to assure your childrens safety.
The garden does have river frontage with a wonderful natural sunken pool for day and night time dipping, feel free to bare all but do watch out for the trout!
Parking is available across the road.

The village of Rennes Les Bains is frequently visited for it's natural hot springs and it's therapeutic waters that are still used today as a cure for rheumatism, others know it for the role it played in the Kate Mosse book, Sepulchre.
There is an outdoor bathing area at the site of the old Roman baths where you can bathe under warm water which is free to use and can be found at the end of a lovely walk along the gorge wall. The village also has an outdoor heated swimming pool, hammam, jacuzzis, and gym.
There are three restaurants in Rennes Les Bains, the Pizzeria de la Place (which does fantastic pizzas and always has a special of the day), and A L'Orloge Kfe, both of which are on the square, and the Hotel de France.
