Le Marronnier was built in the 16th century using limestone from the 'causse' and the surrounding area. The thick stone walls guarantee that the farmhouse is cool in the summer and cosy in the winter. The house accommodates six people in three lovely bedrooms, and all the beds have very comfy mattresses. The showers are strong and piping hot and, during the winter, all the rooms are heated - essential prerequisites for a perfect holiday! Downstairs, the beamed sitting room has a beautiful stone floor. In the dresser, there are books, board games and other essential things such as sewing kits! The room also has as an enormous fireplace with a woodburning stove and a stone lintel. An original stone washbasin has been preserved in the corner of the room - water would have been brought in for it from the tank ('citerne') outside. The kitchen is just off the main room up a stone step. It is fully-equipped with everything needed to cook delicious meals for 6/8 people, including a microwave, a dishwasher, a butcher's block and the all-important wine rack! Next to the main room is one of the bedrooms. This room has a double bed, as well as an en suite shower, loo and basin (and washing machine). From here, a door opens out to onto the pretty lavender walk where you can sip a cup of tea sitting at a garden table in the morning sunshine. An oak staircase leads up to two further bedrooms. The master bedroom is a large, romantic room with a king-size bed. It still has the original oak floor, and the oak beams going up to the apex of the roof give it an airy feel. One of the windows opens literally onto the branches of the chestnut tree. The third bedroom has twin beds. It, too, has a very pretty window overlooking the west side of the house. A large bathroom upstairs completes the accommodation.
