Graham and Christine Dove would like to extend a warm welcome to their home at Le Vieux Monastère (the Old Monastery). “When we discovered Le Vieux Monastère in its spectacular location we knew at once that it was ideal for creating a perfect holiday environment.” We have been welcoming guests here since 2003, many of whom have become good friends over the years, and we look forward to the same in 2021 to experience an unforgettable holiday.
We know you will be delighted as you are shown to your cottage which has been designed to combine the luxuries of home with the charm and character of this historic location. All cottages are equipped to an exceptional standard and have a private patio area or terrace with barbecue and garden furniture. See more on our cottages page.
You will feel at home as soon as you arrive, and while you are enjoying a well deserved drink the children will be off to the swimming pool or games room and making new friends.
The grounds at Le Vieux Monastère are mainly laid to lawn and provide a particularly safe and secure environment for children, allowing parents the freedom to relax and enjoy our tranquil location and facilities. Facilities include a heated swimming pool, large sun terrace, children's play area and games room. The pool is heated to 28 degrees from May to October making us an ideal choice for early and late season holidays. Find out more on our facilities page. You can also view our aerial panoramic tour.
