The 11m x 5m infinity pool can be heated in May and September when necessary and has Roman steps on two sides for easy access and is graduated. Surrounding the pool are sun loungers and a relaxing contemporary sofa set – perfect for an apero before dinner.

A full size private petanque court borders the edge of the park.

Beyond the park lies 175 acres of vineyard and agricultural land to explore, including our own marked walk through our vines and woodland that also connects to other neighbouring vineyards. Three areas of woodland complete the property.

Client Comments

The Domaine was the perfect location for our dream wedding, the onsite vineyard provided a selection of spectacular wines for our big day, whilst creating a beautiful setting. The bedrooms all benefit from ensuite bathrooms giving our guests privacy and the master bedroom and suite was large enough for the bridal party to all get ready on the day with hair and makeup artists fitting in the room also. The house itself is beautifully decorated and finished to an excellent standard, the exterior layout provided lots of flexibility and allowed the day to flow smoothly. Sarah the property manager was a huge help and we can't wait to visit again - hopefully for our anniversary! Nancy, June 2019
