About this property

Our house, Barusclet, is a traditional farmhouse, and is extremely spacious. There are 5 bedrooms (a 6th can be made by using the small salon as a bedroom), 4 bathrooms and a cloakroom in the main house. A 6th/7th bedroom, accessed from a separate entrance, with en-suite is available at an extra cost, which means we can accomodate up to 17 people. (the main house cannot accomodate more than 15 people due to fire regulations). The rooms all have great character with lovely exposed beams and stone walls. One shower room is on the ground floor which will help those who would rather not negotiate stairs, or wheelchair users. Please enquire for exact details if this applies to you.
There is a large fenced saline heated pool (12x6m) with a terrace, shaded canopy and plenty of loungers, looking out over the garden, fields and woods. Also a large games room and plenty of outside space to explore; over 40 acres in fact. The locality is rich in history, and there are many pretty medieval villages within easy reach. We also supply bicycles to help you explore! Our farmhouse is situated down a long track off a quiet country road. We are 3km from the village of Gondrin. Here you will find a boulangerie, boucherie, small supermarket, 2 bars, 2 restaurants, pizza takeaway and tourist information. The village also has a huge outdoor pool, with lots of fun for all the family, and a tennis court. The larger towns of Condom and Eauze are 15 mins by car and they offer larger supermarkets and plenty of cafes and restaurants.
Our beautiful swimming pool is heated, and is normally open from April to October. Do check with us if this is important to you as there may be some flexibility on those dates.
The house plans are included near the end of our photos. They are not very clear if you look at them via your mobile, so please either access them via a laptop or ask us to send them to you at full resolution.

French countryside stay

Wonderful stay in beautiful property with extensive grounds. All rooms are authentically decorated and impeccably maintained. The free cycles are a great addition making it easy to explore the local countryside, villages and vineyards (wine tasting). The large games room provided hours of entertainment and the lounge/dining room with log burner, a comfortable retreat for cosy autumn evenings. Gill & Mark are amazing welcoming hosts.

Fabulous brilliantly equipped house

We all absolutely loved our stay at Barrusclet. The house is spacious, very comfortable and brilliantly equipped, in a beautiful setting. The kids (ranging in age from 7-16) all absolutely loved it and made great use of the games room, the perfect pool and all the bikes. We enjoyed lovely bike rides to pretty villages, tennis and some great local markets. We highly recommend and hope to get back some time.

Beautiful house with a magnificent garden

We’ve really enjoyed the week at Barrusclet. The house is beautiful and it stayed nicely cool when it was quite hot outside. The kitchen is complete with glasses coffeemachine cutlery etc and therefore its easy to cook nice meals. The bedrooms and bathrooms have everything you need. The garden is amazing. The property is very child friendly. Mark and Gill are excellent hosts. They were friendly, helpful and very approachable. They arranged for example 4 baby cots for us and two baby chairs! Thank you for everything! We would love to come back someday!

The greatest pool ever!

Gill and Mark were fabulous hosts. The house swallowed up 14 people spanning 3 generations easily. The facilities were faultless. Having so many bikes- even tag-a-longs and kids seats, was amazing and some lovely, quiet routes. But the pool is were we spent a lot of time. It's huge and warmed to the perfect temperature, we could hardly keep the kids out!

Delightful holiday

Our party of 11 ranged in age from 2yrs to 84 yrs . The accommodation was superb and catered for all age groups . In the mid day sun the children would move from the pool to the house and watch a video or play pool in the brilliant games room. The bedrooms were all spacious and of equal quality . Having 20 plus bikes to choose from enabled many of us to explore the local countryside. We would definitely recommend Barrusclet and hope to return again . Thanks from the Carver family.

A perfect spot for a get together

We stayed here for a week at the end of July and were delighted by a typical French mas, set in the countryside. As a group of 17, from four families, we loved the space and didn’t feel we were on top of one another at all. There are some lovely views and little benches dotted around to enjoy them. Outside the kitchen there are two fabulous outside dining tables, which makes a bbq supper easy, and the kitchen is great. When it was hot we used a table in the shade for the kids. They were thrilled with the games room and the pool is a great size. Everything was clean and the hosts ensured we had everything set up to suit each part of our group, and other assistance on hand to monitor the pool robot cleaner. We went to the local market and really enjoyed the bikes on another venture. It was honestly very surprising that we managed a full group bike ride, borrowing everything available! We had a very relaxing week and loved our stay. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending.

A relaxing stay in beautiful accommodation

We had a great stay. The property is very well equipped and has a beautiful pool and gardens. The owners have thought of everything from board games, games room and a music room to British TV plus a fully equipped kitchen. The property is fairly remote, great for star gazing and sunsets. There isn't a huge amount to do locally, although we visited a water park and rope obstacle course, but if you want a relaxing holiday in beautiful surroundings, this accommodation is perfect.

Wonderful house in a great location

On the 3rd attempt (due to covid), we finally got to stay at this wonderful property, and we were all so glad that we did. The house contains everything that you may need or want for that perfect away from it all, relaxing holiday in France. The pool is perfect, just at the right temperature with plenty of space to relax around, the grounds in general are lovely to enjoy those wonderful al fresco evenings, or simply to unwind in the hammock or enjoy the beautiful sunsets. Mark & Gill are fabulous hosts, who went above and beyond for our family and for which we are eternally grateful.

Fantastic week in the French countryside

Myself, partner, three children and a number of their friends have just returned from a fantastic week in this lovely villa. Very spacious and well furnished, well-equipped kitchen and beautiful outdoor area could not ask for a better place to spend a week. Mark and Gill are excellent at communicating and quick to answer any questions and sort things out. A lot of bikes in good condition available to use (and a great 20km Car free, tarmac cycle/running/walking path about a mile from the house). Use of a tennis court, lovely villages definitely recommend visiting.

Formidable semaine dans un petit havre de paix

Nous sommes partis à 12 amis avec un enfant de 6 mois pour une semaine dans le Gers. Nous avons été plus que charmé par la magnifique maison de Mark et Gill, au milieu des champs. Les propriétaires sont bienveillants et discrets. Ils ont répondu présents dès que nous avons eu besoin d'une information ou d'un service. La maison est très spacieuse, propre et confortable. Elle a été rénovée avec goût pour pouvoir nous accueillir aujourd'hui. Nous avons l'habitude de louer des maisons de cette dimension depuis plusieurs années et ici nous y avons trouvé notre préférée grâce à plein de petits détails ! La piscine est grande, chauffée. L'ombre juste à 2m de l'eau. L'eau n'est pas chlorée mais entretenue avec du sel. Des vélos sont à disposition. Il y a de nombreuses tailles pour les adultes et les enfants. La cuisine est grande et bien organisée. On ne manque de rien en ce qui concerne les plats et les ustensiles. On mange aussi bien dehors que dedans. Un bon point encore pour le confort du mobilier de jardin sachant que nous passons beaucoup de temps à table. On se met à l'ombre des parasols ou des arbres. La maison entière et notamment les chambres restent fraîches grâce ses murs épais. La présence de la salle de jeux avec billard, tennis de table avec de nombreuses raquettes, fléchettes, petit baby foot nous a bien occupé aussi. Il y a même 4 tapis pour faire du fitness ou du yoga. Mark et Gill ont veillé à ce que le bébé de 6 mois ne manque de rien : lit bébé, chaise haute, table à langer. Tout s'est très bien passé pour nous. Merci à Mark et Gill pour cette belle semaine. Encore merci d'avoir eu la gentillesse de nous avoir renvoyé par la poste ce que nous avions oublié en partant !

Excellent French farmhouse for a large fmily or group

We spent a most enjoyable week at Barrusclet. This spacious farmhouse easily accommodated our family of 9 adults and 7 children. The large pool with shaded seating was the big draw as was the local waterpark. The large and good quality outdoor dining facilities meant that we ate most of our meals outside using the BBQ and well stocked kitchen. The indoor dining table was also a good size and quality. The children hung out in the games room when not in the pool. The location was quiet and secluded. The house was cleaned well by two delightful Dutch ladies, and the welcome pack was much appreciated."

About the host

Hosted by Gill and Mark Wooldridge

Hi there. We are Gill and Mark, proud and lucky owners of a beautiful Gascon farmhouse. We have been married for over thirty years, and have two grown up sons. We share our time between the Gers in Southwest France and the West Midlands, UK. We enjoy being outdoors, cycling, walking, skiing and playing tennis. I like to cook, read and play the piano, and Mark likes to have a 'project' on the go. We both like to entertain and spend time with our family and friends. Our farmhouse is a place where we can do all the above, and more. The warm climate and tranquility are a tonic to our busy English lives.

Why they chose this property

Mid-forties, mid-life crisis! Love affair perhaps? Yes, but a love affair with another country and culture, with another place. A cold, dismal, wet February, and we are in Gascony meeting an estate agent. We have taken total leave of our senses and are trudging round houses and land, some grand, some homely, and some barely habitable. Finally, at the end of a long track off a quiet country lane, we find a stone farmhouse. There are trees growing on the inside, the walls are tumbling in, and nature is rampantly reclaiming her territory. We are captivated. What an adventure to embark upon. Two years later and there has been a transformation. A stone farmhouse with pale green shutters, surrounded by tranquil countryside welcomes her first guests. We love the pace and simplicity of rural life here.

What makes this property unique

The Gers is an unspoilt destination, well served by several airports, and good road links. The countryside is wonderful, with endless vineyards and sunflowers. It is a very relaxing destination, but there is also a huge variety of things to do within easy reach. Some people have loved the location so much that they have barely left the grounds, lazing by the pool, reading, happy with friends or their own company. Others have set to and visited villages and monuments, vineyards and restaurants, gone horse-riding, go-carting, played golf and tennis, and then come home for a cool dip in the pool. The games room is a great bonus on a wet day. There is something for everyone here. Generally the summer evenings are lovely enough to sit out until late and watch the stars come out one by one.
