it's all for you
Le Pressoir is about more than just the gîtes.
You’ll also love the azure pool (heated from 19th May onwards), the relaxing hot tub, the gardens, orchard and paddock.
And when you’re not busy doing nothing maybe you’ll want to fire up the BBQ, play a leisurely game of boules or join us for marshmallow toasting.
le pressoir
Old meets new with old stone walls and original beams lovingly restored to their former glory, set against modern oak flooring and all the modern conveniences you could wish for. The renovation has been done sympathetically but not at the expense of modern living. Just because you’re holidaying in rural Normandie doesn’t mean that you have to give up on comfort and style!
We all get to day-dreaming don’t we, and when you do, what do you dream of?… taking a dip in an azure pool, relaxing in a hot tub? or just sitting in the evening sun sipping a glass of cold white wine in the Normandie countryside?… well, dreams do come true at Le Pressoir where the only things to worry about are “what time shall I get to the pâtisserie in the morning for our breakfast croissants?”
Set in the rolling Normandie countryside, Le Pressoir gives you a delightful feeling of living in a world free of mayhem and complication but also has that essential dash of style and luxury. You may be on holiday but that doesn’t mean you have to rough it!
Le Pressoir gîte complex delivers exactly what it promises. It is rustic and organic, yet supremely comfortable, offering simple pleasures: beautiful surroundings, comfortable beds, a warm welcome and divine local food…. however, we don’t live in the dark ages so you’ll also love the large screen tv with free-to-air UK channels and free wi-fi.
Le Pressoir’s style and pace make it the perfect rural retreat. It soothes busy minds and calms tense shoulders. Each of the gîtes is named after a French artist or writer – Molière, Renoir and St. Exupéry. Rob and Shu have updated the building with love and affection; everything has been done with respect for the original architecture and features, the colour palette of clean whites and subtle tones give an air of quiet calm and timeless elegance.
Welcome to Le Pressoir.
the pool
Whatever time of day or evening you’ll love taking a dip in our gorgeous, heated azure pool.
(heated from 19th May onwards)
From an early morning dip to a warm evening swim, our pool is just what you need to unwind and relax.
the hot tub
Bubble your troubles away in our relaxing hot tub.
We provide you with pool and hot tub plastic glasses so you can sip while you dip in safety.
Situated a few steps away from the pool, the sunken hot tub is the perfect place to relax and unwind, as the sun goes down you can switch on the hot tub lights and look up to the star filled sky above.
the gardens
Le Pressoir is set in a tranquil rural setting surrounded by fields and trees.
With lawns outside the gites, next to the pool and an orchard and paddock alongside.
Once you drive into Le Pressoir you’ll enter the courtyard and discover the garden outside the gîtes. There is also a sun terrace for evening BBQs and an orchard and paddock if you want to relax in the rural surroundings.
BBQs & boules
We realise you may not want to venture out after a full day of exploring beautiful Normandie so we have plenty to make staying ‘at home’ fun.
We have a BBQ for our guests and also a set of Boules for each gite so you can dine al fresco and enjoy a bit of friendly competition.
And on some evenings we fire up the fire pit, you’ll be given a Marshmallow Party Bag with your own marshmallows and sticks and sit on the sun terrace as you toast your marshmallows and maybe even raise a toast to your best holiday!
