Vacation Rental Description
Set in a tiny hilltop hamlet, a few minutes from the village of Roquecor, Petit Romarin was formerly the local bakehouse and still has a working bread oven.The hamlet is surrounded by arable farmland and, being situated in a no through road, is very quiet. Past guests have described it as 'a little piece of heaven'. The cottage has its own pool and secluded, rambling garden bordered on one side by an ancient stone wall. Here you can relax and unwind and enjoy the slow, gentle pace of life in this lovely corner of SouthWest France.
The cottage has been lovingly furnished with antiques from the UK and France but, more importantly, with good quality beds. It is very traditional, to reflect its 200 year heritage and original features, such as the marble sinks in the kitchen and the original washbasin in the shower room have been carefully preserved. We aim to give guests a sample of the traditional, rural French way of life so if you want IKEA and microwaves, this isn't the property for you.
It has a spacious master bedroom which opens on to a small terrace in the herb garden -a delightful spot in the early evening. The large lounge/dining room has french doors out into the private garden with pool. From here you can watch the wonderful array of birds that inhabit the trees at the end of the garden.
The second bedroom has french doors into the private front garden which has a raised terrace with a 'roof of honeysuckle and vines'. There is a shower room/WC with a stained glass window painted by a niece of Virginia Wolf, the previous owner having been a notable artist.
The cottage has very low doorways so basketball players may wish to take note! The cottage is adjacent to the owners property and the surrounding 1.5 acre gardens are largely unfenced. We are very happy to welcome dogs providing they get on with children and other dogs as well as our cats, children and chickens.
The cottage also has WIFI internet access for those needing to stay in touch with home or office, and the ADSL connection means that the internet can also be used for making phone calls.
