Our opinion
This is a very spacious rustic property and the present owners have taken great pains to preserve the original character in the conversion. It offers plenty of opportunities for running such things as a gites business, artists’ studios and work shops and more besides. Easily accessible, very private and, most important, lots of ambience at a very reasonable price.
