Leave ReviewSuper cycle rides & pool
By The Thompson Family on 16-Aug-2025An exceptionally hot week - the pool was a delightfully refreshing respite from the heat. Highlights were: cycling to Chateau de Gavaudun - fairly hilly route to Salles - we returned the longer way through the woods to the east- a more gentle climb & lovely road back to the cottage. The Marche de Soiree at Salles on Wednesday evening - if you go, take your own plates, cutlery & glasses. We were treated to the local karaoke singers!! A lovely meal in Monflanquin at the Prince Noir, & a midnight swim back at chez nous. Thank you for a fabulous week in this homely house were there is everything you need.
Fabulous well equipped cottage
By Sarah, Jon, Matthew & Katie on 19-Jul-2025We've all had a fantastic week in this fabulous cottage. The cottage was amazingly well equipped & you have thought of everything! The pool was fantastic especially as the weather was minimum high 20's all week & the views are spectacular! Cathy & Stephane were both very helpful when we had no hot water, due to a storm & kindly offered us their shower - merci beaucoup. Finally, very comfortable beds & pillows which is always a positive! We will hopefully be back!
wonderful house & wildlife
By The Abbotts on 20-Aug-2022A lovely base for our 2 weeks! The outside covered area + kitchen were great. We spent most of our stay set there watching the amazing wildlife! We saw deer, lizards, hawks + even got to see the baby birds nesting over the door to the outside loo leave the nest! Monflanquin was beautiful! Cathy + Stéphane were lovely + we loved watching Stéphane's 2 CV car driving around! Thank you.
An Idllic month!
By Annie & Mike on 16-Jul-2022An idyllic month! The farmhouse is lovely, cool inside and beautifully equipped. Everything worked perfectly, even the Wi-Fi for the numerous zoom meetings we both had in England. The summer kitchen and pool were a godsend, yesterday was 48° in the sun! Insane temperature but we coped well, including Harry, our black Labrador who always love being outside normally could hardly be dragged away from the cool tiles on the floor! Harry swam too in the Lot and various lakes nearby - very useful. We loved it so much, we are looking for a month next year. A huge thank you to Stéphane and Cathy (and Jean Luc) who looked after us and the pool and house so well. The area locally is so friendly and we have met some lovely people - at the Wednesday night market in Salles, walking Harry at 7 am in the morning (Mike, not me!) and on various visits to Monflanquin and other local bastide villages. 14th July celebrations last night were great fun too. Vive la France! With many thanks again.
Outdoor Living at its best
By Katy, James, Thomas & Charlie on 10-Aug-2024We have enjoyed a tremendous week. The weather was fantastic and we made the most of the outdoor living. A few highlights for us: A fantastic meal at L’Effet Maison in Monflanquin. Great service and they were superb with the boys. Château Bonaguil (never found) was a big hit with the boys. It is a large castle and they loved running around and pretending to be knights. Much (much!) further afield, but we enjoyed Angoulême on the drive down from Calais – lots of amazing murals and graffiti. We hope to return to this great house!
Amazing House
By Vanessa, Steve, Neddy & Odile on 20-Jul-2024Amazing house for outside living ,lots of BBQs and rose on the terrace. Our cockapoo loved the walk through the woods and we enjoyed the local markets. Highly recommend L’Effet Maison restaurant in Monflanquin – fantastic food and great wine. Look forward to a returning sometime! Thanks for having us!
