Accommodation & Facilities
The Old Walnut Farm was originally two farms, merged many years ago and recently renovated to provide immaculate family acommodation in three gites, Valentin and Tulipe for up to five people each and Lily for up to seven.
Our swimming pool - a large 12m x 6m, has a substantial shallow end for children, a 200m2 sun terrace complete with loungers and parasols. Conforming to current safety standards, the pool and terrace are surrounded by a 1.2 m. high wall with a single access 'child-proof' gate.
The farm is set in it's own grounds of approximately 3 acres, giving way to open countryside beyond. Well off the main roads, access is by a private lane.
