La Petite Grange - Converted vaulted barn - South Ardèche - 2 ensuite bedrooms

La Petite Grange is a welcoming two bedroomed converted barn ideal for two couples or a family. It has a large terrace and barbecue to fully enjoy the mild Spring and Summer nights and the wonderful colours of Autumn, shaded by an awning and a beautiful fig tree.
The ground floor is open plan with a custom built vaulted kitchen, stairs to upstairs and a further vaulted lounge/dining area. The downstairs bedroom is very large and has a double bed which converts into two single beds and an en-suite shower room. There is a door to a small gravelled garden with table and chairs. The upstairs bedroom is spacious and houses a double bed with a shower, wash basin and WC en-suite. There is a child gate at the top of the staircase. Both bedrooms have plenty of space for a baby's cot. La Petite Grange has 1 metre thick walls and so is very temperature neutral throughout the year.
We also let La Magnanerie (Property number 1074115) which is an adjoining gite with two bedrooms for 4 people, so if you wish to come as a group, both properties can be let at the same time, subject to availability.
In addition to the terrace, there is a shared grassy garden area with sun loungers, benches and a parasol.

A pleasant stay in a comfortable gite
Clean, comfortable and well equipped. The beds were comfy and there was plenty of hot water. Our first two evenings were cool and damp outside and the gite heating struggled. Once the sun arrived it was fine. Sitting on the terrace in sunshine was enjoyable. Sadly it is on a busy road and the noise is noticeable. There were some condiments left by previous occupants which seemed very old.

Stay at La petite grange
First time I have ever used Home away. And first time I have ever rented a house, and must say, I would definatly do it again. La petite Grange was absolutly superb, just inbetween Joyeuse and La blachere, great base for touring the area. Alan and Jane were fantastic, nothing was a problem for them. Would recommend to anyone. Thankyou

Fantastic location and facilities
Beautiful location and views to die for! First week too hot to do anything without sweating so the showers were really needed! Les Vans and Chassezac river one way Vallons and the Ardeche the other direction! We did lots of river swimming and canoed the Ardeche National Park - brilliant apart from nude rescuers!!! Will be back to this area again!

lovely place
La Petite Grange was just perfect for our needs (4 long term friends ). It's location was charming and so pleasant. The views were lovely. The bedrooms were very spacious and the en-suites v. adequate. The sitting area and kitchen again v. adequate - actually we sat outside a lot enjoying the views ! The owners - Jane and Alan - were very helpful but never intrusive. We thoroughly enjoyed their recommendation of a local restaurant in Joyeuse - went there a couple of times - great regional food and wine. The Ardeche is stunning - we will certainly be back again. A great place - a great holiday !!!

clean and tidy terraced property but too dark and noisily positioned due to its local road .
The property was clean on arrival but we were a bit disappointed by the lack of light going into the property. It is also furnished with a woolly sofa totally inappropriate with the local hot climate.The bin were also located very close to the outside dining area which made it impossible to enjoy dining "al fresco" after a few days. The holiday makers have a grassy area with sun loungers available for use , the only problem again was that the grass had not been cut. Finally a lack of people skills was felt during our stay from the lady owner of the property. We go to France in my home country every year and the Ardeche is a wonderful destination but we shall not return to La Petite Grange.

Nice, but not perfect
Schönes Gite in super Lage zwischen Ardeche und Cevennen. Leider etwas laute Straße (da verkehrstechnisch außerhalb der Ortschaft) und (wie alle Natursteinhäuser) etwas muffiger Geruch. Wir hatten das Glück, mit neuen (und sehr schönen) Betten / Matratzen auskommen zu dürfen - die besten, die wir je in einem Urlaub hatten. Dafür war die Couch eben ein bißchen "dump". Sehr nette und hilfsbereite Vermieter, die zum Glück neben französisch auch noch englisch sprachen... "Laissez-faire" ist angesagt...wer damit nicht klarkommt, ist in Frankreich eh fehl am Platz:-)

Spring in Ardeche
The weather was pretty cold during our holiday week in Ardeche. But it was my only complaint. House is situated very comfortably between two villages. Everything you need you can have within couple of minutes to drive nearby. Also in good position whether you want to drive south towards Nimes or Avignon or move upwards to Lyon not to mention that nearby is very beautiful nature fully packed with mountains and rivers. But special compliments goes to the owners!!! Alan and Jane were absolutely amazing and they deserve the full credit. No matter what the clock was 7 in the morning or 10 in the evening I always got my answers. With very warm regards from Estonia!

Formidable séjour
This was our second visit and this time we came with friends and the new ground floor bedroom with cosy en-suite made this possible and worked very well as we were separate and private. It even has its own private outdoor area so we were never on top of each other. The Barn was very clean and well furnished, with a small kitchen, great for making meals, breakfast etc. With a very sunny terrace immediately outside with a retractable sun canopy for alfresco eating. Alan and Jane were very welcoming and helpful going the extra mile literally when we could not get tickets to visit the Chavet Caves by organising the tickets for us. Will be back as this is a lovely part of the world with lots to see and do and not too busy.

Perfect homely property in a stunning location
My partner, baby and I stayed at le petite grange in May for a friends wedding. The gite itself was absolutely perfect for us, it had everything we needed and was well laid out with a really homely feel to it. It was quiet and peaceful and had a very relaxing atmosphere. Our baby who was a crawling 11M old at the time stayed in the travel cot provided on request and the property was a safe, clean environment for him to explore. The seating area outside the property was a sun trap which was lovely for eating any time of day and also had a sun canopy. The views while eating outside were beautiful! The location was easy to find and the routes we took went through beautiful landscapes. The nearby villages of la Blachere and Joyeuse were a short 15 minute walk with plenty to offer. There are also many beautiful places to visit within the Ardeche and we hope to return and explore more in the future. The owners, who live on site were very welcoming and helpful and have set out the two properties in such a way they are not imposing on each other. The driveway and gardens were well created and cared for and helped create this beautiful site perfect for anyone to spend time in this scenic location. I would go back in a flash and highly recommend this gite!

Still our favourite holiday rental in the South of France!
We have stayed at the lovely Gites Marston several times over the past few years and we always have a fantastic time. La Petite Grange makes the perfect home away from home for a relaxing holiday and its location, being walking distance from both Joyeuse and Lablachere, makes it the perfect property from which to explore the area, whilst also being able to make the most of the countryside with a lovely big terrace, a beautiful sunny garden and a view over the vineyards, which is to die for. The house itself is cosy, homely and finished stylishly to a high standard, with a beautiful kitchen that's fully equipped with everything you need. The barn renovation is gorgeous, with stunning original features such as the vaulted stone ceiling downstairs, which is so quintessentially South France, paired with modern amenities such as new bathrooms, flat screen TV and fast internet. Since our last visit, the property has actually been extended to include a second bedroom, which is absolutely stunning and comes complete with its own bathroom and a lovely secluded terrace on the side of the building; it's now the perfect property for two couples or a family. We stayed as two couples and a baby and it was the perfect layout; with one bedroom upstairs and the other downstairs, both rooms felt secluded and private. The owners, Jane and Alan, are wonderful! They went out of their way to ensure that we had everything required for our stay, and as always, provided huge amounts of information about the area. They're the perfect hosts as they're available if you need them, but really appreciate the value of leaving you in peace and giving you the privacy to enjoy your stay. All in all, another amazing stay at Gites Marston!

Cozy and and well-located getaway
My husband and I spent 6 days in La Petite Grange with our 4 months old baby. Jane provided the spacious bedroom with a baby bed, a changing mat and a small baby bath, which was really nice. We appreciated that a lot. Thanks again! The terrace is very nice, the kitchen is well equipped, the lower floor has always been cool even though it was hot outside and the parking next to the house is perfect. We only used the bathroom upstairs because the other one was quite narrow. Which was too bad was the fact that a prefectural decree prohibits barbecues in the summer months in this area. Of course, it has nothing to do with Jane and Alan, it’s just a side note 😊 All in all a great starting point to discover the Ardèche. We enjoyed our stay.

Geschmackvoll umgebaute Scheune
Wir (Ü60) waren mit einem befreundeten Ehepaar in La Grange. Das Haus ist eine sehr schön zu einem Wohnhaus umgebauten Scheune, Es fehlt an nichts, sogar eine Waschmaschine ist vorhanden. Wir haben trotz des wechselhaften Wetters unseren Aufenthalt genossen. Jeder kann seine Privatsphäre genießen Einzig der Verkehr tagsüber war etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig. Wir können das Haus aber auf jeden Fall empfehlen, auch der Kontakt zu den Vermietern war angenehm (English spoken)

Maison très agréable et confortable
Nous avons passé quinze jours très agréables à "La petite grange".Jane est une hôtesse très sympathique et à veillé à ce que notre séjour soit sans problème. La maison est à deux minutes en voiture de Joyeuse ou de Lablachère, très pratique pour nous approvisionner. Les repas étaient bien agréables en terrasse, protégés du soleil (qui ne pardonne pas à l'heure du déjeuner) par un auvent. les couchages sont très confortables et nous avons parfaitement dormi lors de cette quinzaine de réelles vacances. La température avoisinant les 40°, la fraîcheur des pièces du rez-de-chaussée fut grandement appréciée ! La maison et la région méritent un nouveau passage ! Nous reviendrons sûrement. Cordialement.
