Gite des Chirons is a secluded, high-specification conversion of an old forge with thick granite walls and spacious accommodation for 6 people. The house is nestled in a tiny hamlet just outside the small town of Moncoutant, in western France. Its peaceful and idyllic location offers a relaxing rural retreat but only 30 minutes from Puy du Fou. This beautiful property comfortably sleeps six. There is a king-size master bedroom with sofa and dressing area plus two further generous double bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room. All the bedrooms are large and airy, with black-out Velux blinds and black-out curtains. There is one large family bathroom upstairs and a shower room downstairs. There is an extremely well-equipped kitchen with kitchen table, island with breakfast bar, gas oven, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and Kitchen Aid appliances. The spacious living room is very cool in summer months and has leather chairs and sofa plus an extendable dining table for 6-8 people. Both the living room and kitchen have French and British TV and there is fibre broadband throughout the house and garden.

I am English but now living la belle vie in France. I love beautiful countryside, fabulous food, wonderful wine and my rescue animals. My family & I live on-site, so can be available quickly, if required.
