Heated Swimming Pool

m_40b09de053e68e299dadc9bcdee1838f.gif

Sitting on its own sheltered terrace overlooking fields and woods – this heated pool makes a perfect centrepiece for your holiday.  The state-of-the-art salt-treatment system means – no more reddened eyes! The water remains silky soft and does not damage your hair or skin as you might find with a chlorine-pool.

The pool is heated from (usually) mid April to the end of September and if the weather remains favourable into October.  Whether you fancy a whole day relaxing on the pool terrace or a quick dip after sightseeing you will find the pool soon becomes a favourite spot.

All our guests are welcome to use the pool when staying with us – we only ask that you bring a pool towel with you. (Anyone unable to bring a pool towel can arrange to have one provided - please see booking form)

Walking and Bird Watching

The local area is full of delightful walks and we have a supply of maps to help you plan a route and pre-planned routes that you can take directly from the garden at Las Razes. 

Whether you are an adventurous walker or just want to take a stroll before or after a meal – you will find something to suit.  Walking during the later and earlier months of the season can be a real joy. 

The bird life is varied, colourful and plentiful - a real joy for bird watchers, either from our garden and terraces or wandering around the local countryside.  On most Summer nights we are 'talked to' by the resident Scops Owls.  We keep a book to help identify birds in the gardens and guests are encouraged to add to diary details of birds and activities they see.

You will also find wild flowers and orchids growing in the hedge-rows, fields, woods and paths that you will not have seen for years or maybe ever - early Summer, late Spring is particularly good for finding many different orchids and rare flowers.

 

 

Relaxing in the garden

This is the most popular way to pass the time at Las Razes.  With plenty of chairs and tables around the garden is perfect for reading, painting or catching up on some sleep.  There are many different places to find some peace, or admire the wild flowers and bird life on your own.

Inside quiet-time

In the dining room there are comfy seating areas, log burning stoves (for cooler evenings), English library, board games and a DVD player with a selection of films.  There is also a TV which receives programming from the UK, so all the main UK channels are available.

We have a key to the village tennis court and guests are welcome to borrow this.  There is also a practice area and a children’s play park.  We have some rackets and balls should anyone wish to borrow them.
 
For young children there is now a further play area in the village with a pic-nic area  and equipment for the younger child, all situated next to the village pond.  The pond makes a very good place for spotting frogs, fish and birdlife!

Biking

At Las Razes we have 4 bikes which you are welcome to use to explore the local area.  These are very popular with serious cyclists and those less experienced peddlers!  A great way to work off some of the excess croissants!
