Accommodation
Secluded, tranquil, 7 acre grounds, pool
Sleeps 2 or 4
There are two self-contained units, The Gite and The Apartment, sleeping two people each.
The Apartment is only available for rental in conjunction with the Gite, meaning a total of four friends or family could holiday together at La Foret, whilst still having private accommodation space.
To welcome you and ease you into your stay at La Foret, a home cooked meal can be prepared by Nikki and be waiting for you in the Gite.
More details are available on request.
