Probably one of the finest indoor pools available with a Gite, the tiled pool measures 11m x 5.1m x 1.2m deep. The pool is not shared with other people and is very private not being overlooked. The pool is housed in a spacious traditional Norman oak framed building. Lockable entrance doors and a one low level water depth throughout the pool basin provide enhanced safety for all.
The pool building and pool basin can be lit up to make a stunning evening setting.
From the elevated pool surround there are extensive views over the adjoining orchard and meadowed valley. Adjoining the pool is a BBQ area with a BBQ and seating.
