A Glorious Week in The Barn
By hollis on 18-Jul-2026Thank you for a glorious week at the Barn .Despite the sweltering heat, we have loved our week with you.taking many refreshing dips in the pool was a treat-but to have the swallows swoop down to the water,while we were in the pool)was an utter joy. You have thought of everything the barn is so welcoming and comfortable. We have loved visiting Cordes( thank goodness for Le petit train in the heat) Villefranche de la Rouergue, Najac, Albi and kayaking. We had a terrific dinner at l'Angle restaurant in Laguepie. We are heading home refreshed having had such a happy family week. Thank you both! C H and family Oxfordshire
