We, the Greatbanks family – Bob, Geraldine, Eddie, William, Erin and Charlie, have lived at La Ferriere since 2010. Our aim is provide a relaxing and safe environment for all holidaymakers to enjoy…..whether it a family holiday or a group of friends.

La Ferriere has 4 cottages sleeping between 4 and 22 people. All properties are equipped to a high standard and each cottage has sat TV, washing machine, dishwasher, microwave and BBQ.
Each cottage boasts a private garden or terrace, complete with tables and chairs….perfect to alfresco dining.

The cottages are available to rent from May through to October. The cottages can be rented individually or all together. We accept large group bookings where all properties can booked for weddings, anniversaries and birthdays. This is an ideal holiday complex resort for those seeking a relaxing holiday with only a small number of cottages where you can enjoy the privacy of your own holiday cottage and garden or mingle with the other guests.
Children can run around and explore the grounds, play area, games room and tennis court. Our sunny days often end chatting together enjoying a glass of wine on the terrace. Many couples and families return to us year after year and we now consider them friends.
We pride ourselves in ensuring our guests feel welcome and at home and many friendships have been formed during the holiday seasons. Your children can play safely in the open spaces while you relax and enjoy the sunshine and serenity of sunny south France.
