At la Grande Maison, you can almost hear the sound of children playing around the pool or the pitter-patter of their feet on the steps. You almost find yourself straining to hear them, wanting to press your ear against the wooden doors as you listen for the squeaking of chalk against the chalk board in bedroom five. Every one of the bright guest rooms is tempting and inviting. They make you want to throw open the shutters and breathe in the fresh air of the garden, filling the room with the perfume of red roses whose striking colour serves as a common thread throughout the house. More than anything, you will dream of making this place your own, of filling it with your belongings and bursting with happiness. Such is the charm of large houses, and this one is certainly no exception.
