The Duck Shed, a retreat to explore from.

A pretty colonial style self catering chalet, with a three sided terrace, in the beautiful undulating countryside near Lautrec. The Duck Shed shares the two hectares green space with the main farmhouse, outbuildings and numerous large trees. The building is self sufficient, designed for two people but with a convertible double sofa in the living area. It is clad with beautiful old walnut planks and is a picture of serenity. The decor is simple and characterful, modern with warmth and charm. The green spaces are ideal for small walks and nature exploring, they are shared. The hostess is always happy to help with advice, directions or any practical queries and welcomes contact. Two hectares of grass and trees around the Duckshed and the Farmhouse are available for gentle walk, it is a shared area. There is a private courtyard around the building with a sunny terrace and a more shady area. I give my guests space but am available when needed. La Frezoulie is an old farm with grass land and outbuildings nearby. The surrounding landscape outside the perimeter is undulating, mostly cultivated with pockets of woods. In nearby Castres town there is a very good network of buses, mostly free or very cheap and a train station. It is very peaceful, with nightingales !
