washing machines.

you could do without the bother of having to clean your gîte thoroughly
before your departure, then let us take the burden off your shoulders for
a small surcharge of 40 to 60 euros depending on the size of your gîte.
Babysitting

On
Wednesday evenings, we offer a babysitting service. If you
wish, we will mind your children from 6.30 PM to 11.30 PM at a rate of 10 €/ hour. Please let us know at least one day in advance if you intend to
have a stress-free evening out!
Shopping
Essentials
If
you would like to request a starter shopping basket for your arrival with
fresh products, then please let us know a few days in advance of your
requirements. We would be happy to provide you with up to 10 items from
the supermarket/ baker at a small cost of 15€ + shopping bill.
French
Lessons
We offer
professional standard French tuition to all our guests (adults and
children). The rate is 12€/ 45 mins. Lessons can be one-to-one, or
alternatively, small group sessions can be arranged. Cathy is a well
qualified and experienced bilingual French teacher.
If you are
interested in French lessons, then please let Cathy know at the time of booking, or when you arrive for your
holiday.
Alternatively,
if you are
thinking about learning French, then why not come along to one of
our weekend courses. Our French courses are 2 or 3 days and are run out of
season, therefore, you can take advantage of the very low air fares.

Bicycle
Hire
We have adult
mountain bikes, mid-size mountain bikes for children from 10-14
years and smaller bikes for younger children.
Bikes are available to hire for a day, morning or afternoon and can be booked one
day in advance, or at the time.
There is a
great ride around the lake starting from and finishing at Dolphin Gites. The
ride takes about 2 hours along small lanes and dirt tracks through the
countryside (detailed directions are posted on the notice board in your
gîte).
