Barn in Agen, Lot et Garonne, Aquitaine, France
Beautiful Converted Barn with Private Pool
Perfect for Carefree Family Holiday's
Sleeps 8/10 (4 Bedrooms)
|
|
Labat Grange is an old stone barn which was fully renovated in 2005. The renovation was carefully completed to ensure that original features such as oak beams, traditionally tiled floors and beautiful white stone walls were preserved whilst at the same time creating an extremely comfortable and family friendly place for a holiday. The property sleeps 8/10 people, (adults or older children and 2 babies) in comfort. All four bedrooms are en-suite, a big bonus according to our previous guests. The property is set in 5 acres of beautiful countryside which guests are free to explore. The house does have its own completely private gardens and the pool is for the exclusive use of our guests.
