L'Ecurie Guest Cottage
The Stables History
L'Ecurie was renovated from the old Stables in 2006. We have restored many original features with love and care. When we started the renovations, we were very careful to keep the roof beams and original stone walls, although a new roof was put on the whole of these outbuildings. This building has a date stone, marked at the 1640s. and was the original Chateau before the principal residence was built 1848. L'Ecurie is approximately 169 sq.metres.
These stables would have housed the horses used to pull the carriages which were kept next door in the now Workshop and Garage. As with Le Chai, we have added double glazed windows and doors and insulated the roof.
