...its acres of grounds into stylish yet cosy retreats set around a shared courtyard with play equipment and a play barn so filled with toys that it will have even the hardest to please toddler's eye's popping with glee!

La Cour aux Bourgeois not only welcomes but positively celebrates babies and toddlers. It has been set up specifically for families with children under 5 years and, to maintain a family friendly focus, reservations are only accepted from families with at least one child under 5 years old. Not only is the accommodation baby and toddler focussed help is at hand to get the very most out of your stay: each gite contains a Tried and Tested directory with recommendations and reviews from previous guests detailing things to do and places to visit. The owner’s Travel Tips help guests plan a stress-free journey and arrival with services such as pre-bookable shopping so guests can arrive to a well-stocked fridge and glass of wine!

Gite 2 at La Cour aux Bourgeois is crammed with character boasting lovely beamed walls and ceilings, real wood floors and exposed stone walls. Its been given a romantic feel with cosy red sofas and a large Louis XIV fireplace with woodburner. It was conceived specifically for a couple holidaying with a baby, or baby and a toddler. The two children’s rooms (a nursery with cot and a single with toddler bed) lead off the large parents’ bedroom so whilst the children have their own room they’re nearby and easily reachable during the night. There's a family bathroom with bath and shower over. The well-equipped kitchen comes with a dishwasher and microwave and a communal laundry service negates the need for a washer/dryer and aids relaxation.
