Sunrise Cottage, along with Sunset Cottage and our house, sits in a one acre garden surrounded by fields of maize and sunflowers. A quiet lane runs past, along which you can take peaceful walks to nearby woods. The house faces south and has it's own patio and terrace area with patio furniture and a barbeque.

Downstairs is a lounge/dining room, kitchen and shower room. Upstairs are two good sized bedrooms, one with a double bed, the other has two singles. In addition there is a fold-up bed which can be accommodated in either room if there are five people booking.

In the lounge area is the Charentaise fireplace with the woodburner and comfy seating for 5. There is a TV/video player and DVD player with a selection of videos and DVD's books and board games.

At the other end of the lounge is the dining area with a large farmhouse table and seating for 5 people (plus a high chair if needed). Mini Hi-Fi system with radio, CD and tape player. From the dining area you go through to the fully equipped kitchen, which has a gas cooker, micro-wave, fridge and washing machine and double sink unit.

The shower room, which is off the kitchen, has a loo, washbasin and shower area.

Stairs from the lounge area lead to the 2 bedrooms - one double and one with 3 single beds. 

Champ Giraud is set in an acre of land which is mainly grass with an area of young trees to one side. Outside the front of the cottage is a patio and a terrace runs along the side of the house. There is a garden table, chairs and a parasol on each area and a barbeque for outdoor eating. Outdoor games (tennis, badminton, football, boules etc) are provided or if that is too energetic for you, cool off in the above ground pool. The pool is 4.5 metres in diameter and 1.6 metres deep.

Relax outside with a glass of local wine on a warm summer evening and look at the spectacular night skies. Due to no light pollution over the area you can see the stars in their thousands.

The sunrise is worth getting up for too!

From July 2008 Sunset Cottage will also be available to rent. See separate listing. Why not book both cottages for a holiday with family or friends.
