Property Details

Les Cedres is a 17th century cottage on an idyllic chateau Domaine with a large heated pool and a fully equipped health spa. The Domaine de Peyloubere is a beautiful 17th century Gascony estate set in 35 acres of woodland, lakes, gardens and tall trees. Les Cedres is one of 5 cottages on the estate and is named to celebrate the two magnificent Cedar of Lebanon trees, said to be over 250 years old, which flank the main entrance to the Domaine.
It is a traditional cottage on two floors suitable for up to seven people, two of whom should be children. The renovation provides guests with exceptionally spacious accommodation. On the ground floor, newly tiled throughout, there is a modern kitchen with large french dresser and separate laundry room. The dining room leads through an archway into the spacious sitting room which looks out through french windows over the rose garden. There is also a bathroom on the ground floor with WC and twin wash basins.
The old wooden staircase leads to a landing and four delightful bedrooms, one single, two doubles and a bunk room. The master bedroom (see picture) with double bed and ensuite shower room with basin and WC, faces the evening sunset. The second double bedroom has a beamed ceiling and french windows looking out over the rose garden, a view shared by an adjoining room with large bunk beds. The fourth bedroom has a large single bed. The front door leads out on to the terrace and large enclosed garden with old fruit trees, roses and wild flowers.
