You will also find a selection of board games, table tennis bats, tennis raquets, boules etc which we are happy for you to use.

The electrical sockets are standard British 13 amp, although we have provided adaptors if you have anything with a continental plug.

Outdoors there is a 6 metre long covered terrace with table and chairs that leads onto a paved patio with further table and chairs with parasol. You can also relax on the sun loungers; cushions are provided for extra comfort.

The emplacement benefits from both sun and shade so your family can relax whatever your preference and it is kept secluded by the high hedges that border the garden. If you do not want to cook indoors then you can use the gas barbecue with ease and convenience.

You will need to supply your own sheets, duvet covers, pillow cases and all towels - a linen pack is available from Siblu, but needs to be booked in advance direct from the parc and is not included in our prices.
