                gardens and grounds

                Outside there are various garden areas with tables and chairs, seats and sun loungers. Our land is hilly and rocky, and runs off into woodland all the way round; the whole environment is natural and unspoilt. We’re not overlooked and can see no other houses. There are mature cherry, plum, walnut, apple, pear and fig trees, and we grow – as organically as possible - many of the vegetables, salads and herbs we cook for lunch and dinner.

                la p'tite maison ...

                is where you’ll stay if you’re here on a still.point retreat or a relationship retreat. Located in the middle section of the long building that forms Grillou, it's a former farm workers’ house of around 65 square metres over three levels, opened up and restored to form a self contained suite for one person or couple.

                Downstairs, a door from the dining room/library in the main house leads into a private hallway that opens into a comfortable sitting room with sofa, armchairs and a small dining table and 2 chairs. There’s a kettle and supply of ground coffee, teas and tisanes, a small silent fridge, and a CD/DVD player with USB/SD slots and an iPod dock.

                Stairs lead from the hallway to a landing area with doors off to a double bedroom, shower room and separate WC. From the bedroom, an open stairway takes you up to a mezzanine level meditation / chill out space with floor cushions and wicker chairs plus another hi-fi.

                Bed linen, towels and dressing gowns (white Egyptian cotton) are provided, as is a hairdryer; the shower room is stocked with liquid soap, shower gels, shampoos and various lotions and potions.

                Picture


                “At the still point of the turning world…
                there the dance is…
                Except for the point, the still point,
                There would be no dance, and there is
                only the dance.”

                (T.S. Eliot)
