About this property

On the edge of a picturesque village, this stunning former barn retains lots of original features yet provides modern accommodation and furniture. There is 1 double and 1 twin bedroom on the ground floor with a shared bathroom, and a twin and double bedroom, both ensuite, on the first floor. The large dining kitchen is on the ground floor and huge sitting room on the first floor has great views.

Outside there are several terraces with views over the surrounding countryside. The terrace outside the kitchen has magnificent views to the Pyrenees.

Beside this terrace is a covered area in case of bad weather and this also houses a table-tennis table and WII to keep the children amused.

At the back of the gite is the fully enclosed 10 x 5 pool which again has great views over rolling fields, and a set of swings and chute for infants.

The large garden has fig, cherry, plums, walnuts and almonds so depending on the time of year you choose to come, you can pick fresh fruit.

There are lots of walks around the village and the nearest vineyard is just 20 minutes walk across the fields and vineyards. It produces a great range of wines and welcomes visitors for tasting.

We are surrounded by stunning medieval villages - Cordes, Castelnau, Puycelsi, Penne, Bruniquel... and only 30 minutes from the world heritage city of Albi.

Très beau séjour dans un domaine magnifique

Location en pleine nature dans un petit bourg où le calme règne. Très belle vue depuis la piscine et cadre très beau et agréable. Nous avons passé un très bon séjour avec des propriétaires très charmants. Petit warning : les propriétaires vivent sur le domaine, maison collée à la location ce qui limite le bruit le soir (musique etc...). De plus, la piscine n'est pas devant la maison et la baignade est interdite le soir! Malgré ces 2 points, tout était parfait.

Superbe

Des vues magnifiques sur les vallons de la campagne tarnaise (on croirait vraiment la Toscane), une maison très spacieuse et agréable, avec de grandes chambres à la literie confortable et un très bon équipement pour la cuisine, une piscine parfaite... le tout à une dizaine de km de Cordes. Accueil très sympathique des propriétaires. Nous reviendrons !

cadre exceptionnel pour une semaine en famille

Nous avons passé une super semaine avec nos 2 enfants (6 ans et 8 mois) chez Colin et Janet. La maison est très agréable (reste fraiche malgré la chaleur) et jouit d'une vue exceptionnelle sur la campagne du Tarn. La piscine est top pour se rafraichir en fin de journée! La maison est idéalement située pour aller visiter tous les magnifiques villages environnants (Cordes sur Ciel, Penne...) ou faire des activités avec les enfants (canoé, accrobranche...). Nous reviendrons avec plaisir!

Highly recommended

Just as described. We found nothing wanting at the property and the owners, Colin & Janet, were on hand if needed but also discrete and low-key. A lovely area to visit and the house and pool were just right for afternoon relaxing. We will visit again for sure.

Beautiful property, fantastic scenery, perfect hosts.

Thanks very much to Colin and Janet for a wonderful stay at your property. Everything was fantastic and any tiny hiccups were resolved straight away. The property was brilliant for our group, 6 adults and a 6 month old baby. We’d recommend this to any large group wanting to stay in an idyllic area of the French countryside. Thanks again, Paul, Adele and the rest

Beautifully restored barn, fabulous surroundings, great hosts. Perfect!

It's a beautifully converted beam with lots of original features. Beds were really comfortable (a huge plus, we all slept magnificently). Lots of cute features such as a library of books and dvds. The pool is perfect. Great size and shallow enough for adults to stand up to their chest in, which is great for swimming and playing dumb team ball games alike. There was absolutely nothing that I could add that this property is missing, it was just perfect.

Maison agréable à vivre, proporiétaire charmant, environnement calme et bucolique

La maison est grande et spacieuse et bien équipée et dans un environnement calme , un seul regret que le réfrigérateur ne soit pas suffisamment grand pour 8 personnes. Les propriétaires sont charmants. Randonnées sympas et activités nautiques à proximités.

Paradise!!!

The property has been converted to a very high standard and great care has been taken to preserve features and the "feel" of the barn conversion. The situation is idillic and peaceful but with amenities close to hand. The owners were happy to share their local knowledge and advice when asked but do not intrude on your holiday. Overall a brilliant place to stay.

Superb

Fantastic gite in an ideal location for a quiet relaxing holiday. The gite was very well equipped and Jan and Colin were excellent hosts. Close to a host of medieval villages and hour's drive to Toulouse. Cahors is also well worth a visit, which is easily reachable from the gite.

About the host

Hosted by Janet Shand

We are a laid-back Scottish couple who have taken early retirement to live our dream. Keen on the outdoor life, we love walking around the fantastic countryside surrounding our home.

Why they chose this property

Looking for a view and we found one - down a small valley to the Hilltop village of Castelnau de Montmiral, and on crisp days the Pyrenees reaching up behind over 100 miles away, vineyards, sunflowers....

What makes this property unique

We are on the edge of one of the most beautiful and well-maintained villages in the area, only 10 minutes from the medieval charm of Cordes sur Ciel and Castelnau de Montmiral. Albi is less than 30 minutes and Toulouse less than an hour. Walk through the vineyards to our local vineyard to taste the less known Gaillac appellation wine.
