Accommodation The house ‘Le Segala’ was built in 1850 and was originally a working farm. We believe that Rye was grown by the family in the fields to the front of the house. Renovated in the 1950’s into a family home and then again by ourselves in 2003, the house offers all the modern amenities with the traditional charm of an old farmhouse. Ground Floor Kitchen Newly fitted, well equipped, beautiful Oak kitchen.
Belfast sink, Dishwasher, Utility Room This is the old Bread Oven which is attached to the house, next to the kitchen, but access is gained from the outside. This is a large room still with original oven intact and houses the washing and drying machine. There is plenty of storage for bikes, canoes etc. Lounge/Dining Room.
