Pool & Terrace
The swimming pool and terrace area has been
described as an 'oasis'. Set behind the house and enclosed on all four sides,
the area receives full sunshine almost all day
long (we receive more than 2250 hours of sunshine per year here) yet you can
relax and swim in complete privacy.
The figure of eight shaped pool is 12m x 5.5m and has a 'roman end' with steps
into the water, making entry and exit easy for our older guests and providing
an important safety feature for children
The pool is surrounded by nearly 200m2 of non-slip terrace with plenty
of sun loungers and parasols.The water in the pool is heated by our autofed, wood-burning boiler which
GUARENTEES you an optimum temperature regardless of the weather (unlike other pool heating systems e.g solar panels).
Barbeque Area
There is also a covered barbecue area with table
and chairs, so you can eat outside as often as you like. Automatic sensors turn
on the lighting for the pool area as dusk falls so you can enjoy the
tranquility with a bottle (or three!) of wine as long as you like.
Showers
Next to the pool are two solar heated showers for
a quick wash down before and after a refreshing swim. Of course they can also
be used by the intuitive if there is a queue for the bathrooms in the house!!!
Boule Court
Just next to the barbeque area is a sand
boule court. Boule and palet are both provided, and the area is
well lit, so all you need is a good supply of wine (and a sense of
humour) for those late night competitions!
