The ground floor consists of two spacious rooms (the sitting room / dining room and the kitchen / breakfast room), as well as a stunning bedroom with views over the fields, and a sunny studio on the lower ground floor at the front of the house.

The Sitting Room:

The sitting room /dining room is the heart of “La Vieille Forge” and is furnished with a sofa, two chairs, armchair and coffee table, as well as a dining table and six chairs.  For your comfort when it’s hot there is an electric fan, and for your entertainment table games, puzzles and playing cards, books in English and French, and a radio/CD/cassette player.  In winter the room can be heated with a lovely antique Godin enamel wood-burning stove.

The Kitchen:

The kitchen is good-sized and fully equipped with fridge (with small freezer compartment), electric hob /oven, microwave oven, electric kettle, pans, cooking utensils, kitchen scales, crockery, cutlery, glasses and tea-towels, everything you may need for a spot of delicious French cooking.  There are also a washing machine and steam iron for your laundry needs.

The Studio:

A few steps down from the sitting-room lead to the lower ground floor and the sunny studio (the old bar of "La Vieille Forge"), which has a floor of terracotta tiles and is furnished with double futon, occasional table, sideboard, table and chairs, decorative wicker easel, and an old wooden confessional salvaged from the refurbishment of an old church.

The Additional Bedroom:

This is an airy, delightful room with an antique iron bed (double) and an antique single bed, as well as a massive antique wardrobe.  Situated near the kitchen, it is not normally rented out, but it can be, to offer additional accommodation for larger parties (the 3 bedrooms on the first floor accommodate 6 people).
