Overview
Description
Jayan has been privately owned by one family for 25 years and during that time it has been extensively and lovingly renovated to the highest standards.Jayan is located down a small private road and nestles in the beautiful Montagnac-sur-Lède valley with stunning 360 degree views on the border of Dordogne & Lot et Garonne. Totally secluded yet only 7km from Monflanquin an award winning 12th Century hillside Market Town where you have all the amenities you could want – Hypermarket, Restaurants, Bakeries, Chemist, Doctors, Dentist, Vet, not to mention the Thursday market.
As you can see from the guest comments Jayan is a “home” and not just a “rental property” and has been equipped, looked after, and cared for accordingly. From the kitchen, where any gourmand cook would be happy with gas hob, electric oven, microwave/grill, fridge/freezer, pure water filtration system, coffee machine and dishwasher together with top of the range cutlery, crockery, knives and crystal, to the 55" flat screen Smartr TV, pause/record satellite (no need to miss your favourite UK TV programme), Blue Ray DVD, Bose i-pod wave sound system and the latest (fastest) Starlink Satellite Wi-Fi internet – décor is French/English, comfortable, easy living.
In the Reading Room off the main Living/Dining area there are over 500 VHS/DVDs from 40’s/50’s classics to today’s blockbusters including a comprehensive library including teenagers’ and toddlers’ VHS/DVD's and books. Also, all our bedrooms are en-suite with a separate toilet / shower room on the ground floor.
Everything you need is here from herbs, oils, kitchen rolls to dishwasher tablets, expresso coffee machine pods so all you need to do is bring yourself and then let Jayan work its magic.
Jayan is situated on the borders of the Dordogne and Lot-et-Garonne just 40 minutes drive from Bergerac Airport and only a very short drive away from some of the most picturesque ancient Market Towns in South West France, Monflanquin, Villereal, Issigeac, Monpazier, Pujols, Eymet, (too many to mention) all offering fresh baked bread, local produce, cheese, wine, foie gras, pate, reflecting the taste & personality of France.
However if you want to visit a jaw dropping châteaux you have Biron, de Bonaguil, Beynac, Monbazillac, to name but a few. The area also boasts some of the most fabulous cities in Europe, Bordeaux, Carcassonne, Toulouse, and most are no more than a 2hr drive away. So, if you’re looking for world class dining, world class shopping, sprinkled with some world class culture and history you’re in the right area.
If on the other hand you fancy a day trip to the beach then Mimizan plage or St Jean de Luz, where you can watch the local fishing boats bring in the days catch of tuna & anchovies or Biarritz for some of the best tapas on the Atlantic coast are again just 2.5hrs drive away.
Or if it’s Canoeing, Theme Parks, the Wine Route, Horseback Riding, Tennis, or just lazing by the 12m X 6m pool – whatever takes your fancy Jayan is a great place to start.

Thankyou for the most generousWelcome Basket - a real treat.
By Tim & Becca on 06-Sep-2025Thank you for the most generous Welcome Basket - a real treat. Thank you for your support. Such a pretty area of France - weather has been mixed so we have been able to tour around & visit lots of places. We have had plenty of good food & wine during our 3 weeks in France - as always. We were joined one morning while sitting on the terrace by a deer - magical. Thank you for your hospitality. Tim & Becca England.
Peaceful, Beautiful, well equiped and Wow THE POOL!
By Jill & Johann on 12-Jul-2025Jayan is just what we wanted - Peaceful, Beautiful, Well equipped and Wow THE POOL!. How we wish we had another week. We really hope to return... with gratitude, Jill & Johann. Bern Switzerland.
Enjoyed our meals on the terrace & enjoyed our stay
By Mark, Judith & Jonny on 30-Aug-2025We had a delightful 2 weeks stay at Jayan, we arrived to 40 degrees and left at 19 degrees!. The pool is lovely, really enjoyed our meals on the terrace and had a really relaxing stay. We enjoyed visiting the Water Lillies at Latour Marliac and the Grotte de Lastournelle (with its refreshing lack of British health and safety!) None of us are looking forward to our return to work and the real world! Thank you. Alison, Mark, Judith & Jonny. Suffolk.
Lucky to have two whole weeks
By The Wild Family on 09-Aug-2025We were very lucky to have two whole weeks at Jayan. The weather has been incredibly hot - thank goodness for the wonderful pool. We feel so very relaxed having stayed here foe the 2 weeks, its such a switch off from everyday life. We will miss the peace, the views, the outside terrace and most of all the beautiful pool. Thank you Jayan House for a relaxing holiday and to Bob & Marlene for sharing their little corner of France. We hope to return. Very Best The Wild Family (England).
A fantastic place to stay
By Mark & Family on 18-Aug-2024Thank you Bob and Marlene. A fantastic place to stay. We all really enjoyed staying here. The kids loved it! We hope to come back one day!

Jayan really is a retreat for everyone
By Atkins and Webley Family on 10-Aug-2024Jayan has proved to be fantastic home for all of us. The grand children had endless fun around the pool and table tennis tournaments galore. It really is a retreat for everyone and enjoyed the great weather. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your wonderful home. We very much appreciated the hamper and home comforts and also the help you have us when we needed help with Taxis and when we got lost! One of the highlights was the medieval festival at Monflanquin. It was spectacular and something we will all remember, and the pool well it is fantastic. We hope to return one day. Thank you again, The Atkins & Webley family
