Patrick's tips

  • If you like foraging, the area has many roadside cherry, fig, peach and walnut trees. We are a 2 minute walk from a historic washhouse where local farmers' wives used to gather to do their laundry.

  • There is a local viewpoint (3 mins walk) which offers stunning views of the local countryside. The surrounding countryside is gently rolling which is ideal for cycling and walking.

Working towards self-sufficiency

Your host, Patrick

We are a British couple living in S.W France on a 1-acre permaculture smallholding. We raise poultry and grow vegetables and are working towards self-sufficiency. We invite campers onto our land because we love meeting new people, especially those who are interested in self sufficiency, the environment and climate.

Rules

Be respectful of our free-roaming ducks. They are curious and may want to watch you, but don't like humans getting too close. Do not feed them as we have to manage their feeding carefully.
Our roosters will do their business at the first light of day. Although they are on the other side of the property, they can be heard. Our guinea fowls can also make noise from time to time.
As we have free range poultry, we cannot allow pets.
Please dispose of all rubbish and leave the site as you found it.
Be very careful when using the outdoor wood stove or barbecue.

Cancellation Policy

Guests who cancel at least 14 days before check-in will receive a refund of the amount paid by them (excluding Campspace fees). If they cancel between 7 and 14 days before check-in, they will receive a 50% refund. Otherwise they will not be refunded.

Checking in and out

Check-in between: 2:00 pm–8:00 pm
Check-out between: 9:00 am–12:00 pm
