Vacances de la Serène - About UsView of our 8 acres where children can enjoy their freedom in safety

Child-friendly...

The owners, who live on site, have 2 young children - Lola aged five and Phoebe aged one, so everything is designed with child-safety in mind. We also have lots of playthings that other children are welcome to use, including swings with slide, sand pit, and a variety of toys.

View of our 8 acres where children
can enjoy their freedom in safety

We are far from any busy roads and the 8 acres are well fenced so that children can enjoy their freedom in complete safety. Our trout stream, La Serène, accessible via a style, is a perfect spot for exploring and paddling as it is both shallow and shady. Try your hand at fishing or just sit and watch the dragonflies.

Some of our land has ponies grazing on it and in early summer we have hay fields full of wild flowers and butterflies. For birdwatchers we have a resident heron plus a pair of barn owls and some kestrels that return every year to nest in the barn, whilst woodpeckers, hoopoes, and buzzards are a common sight.
