Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Nestled on sprawling grounds and just a five-minute walk from a beach on the River Erme, this home will go down a treat with families seeking a rural escape. During the day, you can play games on the shared tennis court and croquet lawn or enjoy the view from the private terrace. In the evening, the cosy living room is the place to be thanks to its fireplace. The apartment is part of a larger building with other guests, but with seven miles of trails on the grounds, you'll easily find space for yourself. You're also just a short drive from several picturesque villages and beaches when you want to explore.
