Upper terrace
Picker's One and Two, and the Vigneron's House at the end. Best views over the valley, first sun in the morning, and the longest walk back from the yard, which is three minutes.
Cottages
Nine of them, spread along two terraces of vines. Each has its own door onto the slope, so nobody walks past anybody else's window on the way to bed.
What they have in common
All nine are built from the same pale stone, with walls thick enough to keep the afternoon heat out and the night quiet in. Every cottage has proper shutters, a wood stove laid ready from October, cotton bedding, and a kettle with real coffee.
There is no television in any of them. There is a small library in the cellar instead, and most guests work through more of it than they expect. Mobile reception is good; the internet is fast enough for anything except a long video call.
None of the cottages contain gaming machines of any kind. The card room is in the press house, on the far side of the yard, behind its own door.

Choosing between them
Yard
Press Cottage sits beside the old press house. Closest to breakfast and to the card room, which suits some guests and not others. Say which you are.
Lower terrace
Well House and Long Barn, tucked below the lane with the spring running behind them. The quietest cottages we have, and the coolest in August.
Notes worth reading
- Press Cottage is step-free from the yard with a level shower. It is the only one that is; the terraces are reached by stone steps.
- Cots and extra beds are free for children under six. Just tell us how many people are actually coming.
- Wood for the stove is stacked outside each door from October. Take what you need; nobody counts.
- Dogs are welcome in Well House and Long Barn, not in the cellar at breakfast, and never off the lead among the vines during harvest.
- Cancellation is normally seven days for cottages, fourteen during harvest. Your confirmation says which applies.
