Welcome to the JaxTrax Gîte !
Just 5 minutes walk from the shops and bars of Pleaux in the Cantal, ‘JaxTrax Gîte’ is part of a horse ranch that adjoins open countryside and woods. A perfect location for lovers of nature and outdoor activities, with the practicalities of a small town and all the amenities on it’s doorstep.
With independent access, private parking and a south facing terrace, the one bedroom studio is light and peaceful.
It has a separate bathroom with a walk in shower. The living area is open plan with a dining space and well equipped kitchen, dishwasher and washing machine. The sitting area has satellite TV and DVD player. There is wi-fi too.
Immediately accessible from the gîte are well marked walks and VTT trails for exploring the surrounding countryside.
4 Exmoor ponies and 3 horses make up the ‘JaxTrax’ herd and any guests wishing to be introduced to them are most welcome. Our 2 Springer Spaniels will no doubt introduce themselves!
We regret that because of our own menagerie, for safety reasons, we are unable to accept guest pets.
