Offering amazing value, the Woodland Retreat occupies the sort of self-contained outdoor space one would expect in far larger properties, and with no sharing of pool or other facilities. This bijou dwelling sits in the shade of a south facing hazelnut tree, and with air conditioning stays deliciously cool during the heat of summer. The location itself is both private and blissfully peaceful.

3 sleeping spaces accommodate either four persons in two double beds, or 2 persons in the master bedroom, and two persons separately using one double and one single bed. Indoor seating facilities do not permit a party larger than four persons + a baby.

TV Lounge: Widescreen TV with all Sky channels plus 10,000 free films. Seating for 4 persons.
Kitchen: Fully fitted with 2 ring induction hob, fan assisted oven, microwave oven, dishwasher, washing machine, extra-wide fridge/freezer, toaster, kettle, coffee maker, good range of crockery, cutlery and utensils.
Bedroom 1: 160 cm bed and sofa links with a large shower, twin wash basins + separate WC.
Bedroom 2: 140 cm bed/75 cm shower enclosure/ washbasin/ wardrobe in room adjacent with WC nearby.
Bedrooms have feather pillows/cotton sheets
Dining Room with Leisure Den: 4 seat sofa, UK TV/ DVD player/dining table with 4 comfy stools/good choice of books.
Ideal for children, this can function also as a third bedroom, the ‘L’ sofa comprising a fixed mattress with set-aside space for duvet/pillows.

VISITOR REVIEWS
-------------------
Have just returned from two lovely weeks in Tarn-et-Garonne with a very relaxing stay at the Woodland Retreat. We were welcomed by Steve and Sue who were both accommodating and helpful. If you’re eager to escape busy modern working life and are looking for a peaceful sanctuary surrounded by nature - Buzzards, Herons and more - then the Woodland Retreat is for you. It’s a well-appointed lodge nestling on the banks of the little river Bonnette running just outside. A spacious outdoor area with shaded dining table meant we cooked al fresco several evenings, and a large, very comfy bed gave us a good night’s sleep. 25-30 degrees of delightful weather made the lovely and private pool area a great way to spend afternoons (and evenings with a glass of wine enjoying the sunset over Loze). The elevated pool and spacious deck are well thought through, a unique construction which awards good views down the river, and a real sun trap, with a perfect water temperature. Having travelled across France for 20 years, the surrounding area was quite a discovery, beautiful and unspoiled, with little commerce. Nearby St-Antonin-Noble-Val was one of the most atmospheric medieval French towns we’ve visited in this region of Quercy. Several good supermarkets are less than half an hour away, except one of the greatest pleasures was driving the 10 minutes along the Vallee de la Bonnette past the old water mills and waterfall for croissants, baguettes (and perhaps too much) patisserie from charming Caylus. Steve and Sue have created a real haven of peace and privacy in this corner of ‘La France profonde’. Peaceful, private and well equipped - with all the things you need to genuinely stop, relax and kick-back.

We have stayed in the south west of France many times before, and can honestly say that this is one of the most idyllic homes we have stayed in. Sue and Steve have been truly wonderful to us, the accommodation does exactly as described, completely private but with easy access to the wonderful surroundings and within short reach of the beautiful villages and towns the area has to offer. The property is extremely well equipped, the pool is perfect and well maintained. Everything feels fresh and clean. We cannot recommend this holiday home highly enough and would come back again any time. Thank you both so much. Guest rating: 5 stars James Mayo Sat, 22 Jun 2024
