Le Bourdil Blanc - Accommodation
Welcome to Le Bourdil
Blanc, your home for the duration of your holiday.
As you pass through the gates down the tree lined drive, you will glimpse
through the trees on the right the tennis court and swimming pool, and to the
left you will probably see one or two of the horses looking out from their
stables in the barn.
Le Bourdil Blanc is a beautiful 18th century manor house, recently restored to its former glory and now a warm, friendly and elegant home comfortably set in its own private grounds extending to over 7 acres
Aside from the pool, tennis court and stable barn, the grounds also feature an ancient pigeonnier, and behind the house is a large meadow garden, a small fishing/boating lake, some lovely mature trees, all bounded by a delightful trout stream. From the house one can enjoy beautiful views over woodlands and fields.
Although Le Bourdil Blanc is a private house we encourage all guests to treat it as his or her own. Guests quickly settle in to a 'house party' mode, relaxing around the log fire with a glass of wine and enjoying each other's conversation.
The grounds
The heated swimming pool (12m x 6m) surrounded by ample space for sunbathing is open from dawn till dusk.
For the energetic the full size all weather surface tennis court is the ideal place to loosen up those stiff muscles. There is also a table tennis table for equally competitive tournaments.
You could try your hand at catching one of the fat carp in the lake or simply watch them from our rowing boat.
The stables are only a stone's throw from the house, allowing for maximum bonding between horse and rider when the horses are overnighting at Le Bourdil.
Totally relaxing, the hammock is available on a strictly first come first sleep basis.
