Gardens, outside space, walks, a donkey and a goat

Domaine de Lorette is approached via a private drive, there is plenty of parking on the drive and an adjacent unmade track, plus a garage. There is a large formal lawned area to the front with rural valley views and a quiet country road that runs past the side of the house.

At the end of the track you will meet the gorgeous, friendly donkey, Caramel, and a shy goat that live in the field above, they are looked after by the owners of Domaine de Lorette who live just across the valley.

The unmade track leads up into a wooded area and to the top of the hill where there are vines with hilltop views of the surrounding countryside. Follow the walk to the owner’s original stone-built windmill (not accessible to guests). It’s a wonderful short walk which is shaded in the wooded part, full of wildlife and woodland plants. You have a good chance of seeing deer at dawn and dusk.
