About this property

Peace at the end of the track, unwind and relax in the interesting old winery

The Winery is at the end of a big old Gersoise farmhouse, so not really a barn, but was the old winery and granary. Converted to a high de-luxe standard using as many authentic products from the old farm, the old wine press is still in situe & wine barrels are incorporated into the kitchen area, even the ceiling lights are made from the barrel hoops. Amanda lives in farmhouse so on site for any queries.

The décor is rustic chic downstairs and very comfortable upstairs with many attractive paintings, antique furniture and objet's d'art. The Winery is suitable for off season bookings, with a cosy pellet burner and we accept long weekends out of season .
During the summer months we can only accept bookings Sat-Sat.
downstairs there is a very cosy pellet burner, and all rooms upstairs have modern electric radiators.

Basic shop offered for first night and if desired a cooked meal can be brought to the winery for tired guests and other meals by arrangement.

There is a huge big living area with sofas (3) , armchairs, a long dining table with the kitchen corner. Beautiful old armoire houses all kitchen equipment plus essential cooking ingredients. Well equipped. Masses of space for adults and children. We have a cupboard full of old board games and other traditional games, lego, toys for younger children. Films for every age range plus French TV .There is also a sofa-bed.
We often receive multi generational families!

Upstairs the light Courtyard Bedroom has a double bed and private bathroom, The Louis Philippe Bedroom has a double bed and private shower room with big walk in shower, and a twin bedded room (separate access to shower room from a door in corridor).

There is a private sitting/eating area with a BBQ in front of the horses' paddock with lovely views, as well as the terrace around the pool. For guest's who love cooking there is a herb bed for their use.

Bedrooms have been furnished with taste and antiques, many quirky bits have come from a local chateau such as hand painted architraves over the doors & old washstand with fun fossil washbasin. Good quality bed linen and towels. Pool towels also supplied.

The pool is in a private area with fabulous views over the rolling Gersoise countryside. It is totally peaceful, apart from the odd tractor! the sunset is amazing. Table tennis, boule, trampoline.

Pool is shared with owners ( who swim sometimes in early evening) & the occasional house guest at the main house.

Footpath passing the house leads up the hill where there are 360 degree views. WE do get the odd walker passing in front of the Winery. Totally peaceful, good for walking, biking, painting..

Owners dogs (Pug and Labrador) , cats (3) and horses (3) live at la Raillere. Please note there is a pond in front of the property, therefore our guests are responsable for the safety of their children both with the pond and the pool.

Fantastic Holiday!
What a wonderful time we had at La Raillere with Amanda and Collin. We could not have wished for a better host and hostess. Very helpful and can recommend nice restaurants and places. We were with two adults and two children aged 5 and 9. The house is fully equipped and very spacious. We enjoyed all the animals around us and the kids got to ride the horse. The pool has a beautiful view! In summary, we had a fantastic holiday! Very relaxed, have had good food and drinks and visited nice places. The good life! Thank you Amanda and Collin. Hope to see you again!

Séjour reposant
Nous avons passé 2 semaines à La Raillère, en famille. Le gîte était spacieux, lumineux, très confortable et les chambres décorées avec beaucoup de goût. Le temps n'a pas été toujours clément mais nous avons pu profiter de superbes moments à la piscine jusqu'aux couchers de soleil ! Merci pour votre accueil. Les enfants ont passé de très bons moments entourés des animaux du gîte.

Accueil chaleureux en plein cœur du Gers
Nous avons passé 2 semaines en famille, 5 adultes avec un bébé de 8 mois et nous quittons l'endroit avec regret. Tout était parfait. Les chambres décorées avec goût, la piscine à la vue incroyable. La table de ping pong et le jeu de fléchettes nous on fait passer de superbes apéros !! 2 semaines dépaysantes pour nous, sans parler de l'accueil adorable d'Amanda et Collin, 2 hôtes vraiment aux petits soins. Présents et discrets à la fois et plein de délicates attentions, nous avons eu le droit à des œufs frais, des confitures maisons etc. Toujours de bons conseils pour parcourir le coin , commerçants, marchés, restaurants, pub etc. Nous recommandons la Raillère sans hésiter même si c'est une adresse qu'on aurait presque envie de garder secrète, rien que pour soit !! Nous reviendrons, je l'espère sincèrement.

Do it, you won't regret it!
We are a family of 5 and stayed with Amanda and Colin for two weeks in August. Communication was prompt and helpful, even when we had lots of questions. They even offered to cook a meal for our arrival! We arrived after a looooong drive and were met by the owners who gave us a brief tour and suggested we cool off in the pool. What a pool it is! The photos really can't do justice and we spent time relaxing there every day. The pool is saltwater and really gentle on skin and eyes. The outlook is beautiful and totally private. It was also kept meticulously clean through the whole of our stay. They had also left us a pack of essentials in case we didn't have time to pick up supplies. The house is wonderful, furnished with french antiques ( my daughter (11) said it was the poshest house we'd ever stayed in) but loads of convenience too. The broadband was fast enough to stream, essential when travelling with a teenager! Beds were lovely and comfortable, top quality linens and pillows. Definitely not your usual rental! Amanda and Colin are lovely hosts, always about when you need a bit of local information but not intrusive. When one of our party was taken unexpectedly in to hospital they could not have been more helpful. The setting is perfect, totally relaxing but within easy reach of lots to towns and markets. We would not hesitate to recommend this beautiful place.

Quiet holiday home in stunning countryside
We enjoyed a memorable family holiday at La Raillere in July 2018. The house, which adjoins the owners’, is on a hill with a pool as pictured, surrounded by stunning scenery amidst arable farms and fields of sunflowers. This house is the perfect place for a quiet break away from it all. Downstairs offers one large open plan room with the kitchen and a large dining room table and chairs; two big comfortable sofas are by the TV. The kitchen is reasonably well equipped. The downstairs room is wonderfully cool as it faces north. Upstairs there are 2 rooms with double beds and a third twin room, all are beautifully decorated and we found the double beds very comfortable. One double room overlooks the owner’s garden and another the lane and fields. The owners provided delicious homemade produce which we loved: honey, fig and plum jams. The pool area is stunning, and sitting there with a good book it was very easy to unwind. We didn’t know this area at all and enjoyed exploring: Larressingle, Lavardens and Valence-sur-Baïse where we enjoyed a robust lunch at La Table d’Emma. Auch is about 25 mins away. The Friday morning market at Vic- Fezensac buzzes with locals and tourists alike and the town also has excellent restaurants. Jegun is small with a Petit Casino selling the basics including milk, there's also one restaurant, an Irish pub and an excellent pharmacy. We found out during our stay that there are many walks in the area so on another visit, it would be worth being better prepared. A circular route goes past the house, of which we walked only half as it was so hot. The owners have two dogs, two ponies and a cat, all friendly! We found the outside table and chairs at the front of the house not so comfortable for eating at. The only other downside were the flies! But these did not detract from our enjoyment. The owners couldn’t have been kinder, were on hand to answer our questions and pointed us in the direction of an excellent local vineyard. We enjoyed hot weather, punctuated by terrific storms which cooled us all down and the breath-taking sunsets were unforgettable. This was a truly refreshing holiday.

C'était PARFAIT....!!!!!
Nous avons passé une semaine chez Amanda et Colin, et ce fut un vrai plaisir... L'endroit est charmant, le logement et les couchages sont parfaits et les hôtes vraiment sympathiques. Pour exemple, comme nous arrivions tard, Colin nous avait préparé un repas (hachis parmentier tout juste divin... Que l'on ne me dise plus que les Anglais ne savent pas cuisiner...!!!!) Le logement est grand, propre et tout y est pour passer un très bon moment, la piscine a une vue sublime... Amanda nous a donné de précieux conseils sur ce que nous devions voir dans la région, et ce fut un grand plaisir de discuter avec eux. Merci à tous les deux pour cette excellente semaine, nous reviendrons... Florence et Thierry

About the host

Hosted by Amanda Soden

Host profile image
We are well travelled. Colin was a stockbroker for 30 years, since then we have been entrepreneurial with a variety of creative businesses.
We live on site in the farmhouse. We love to share this special place with guests, the peace, the fresh air, local wild boar and deer pate, and homemade jams.
Amanda works from home in recruitment.
We share our home with 2 friendly dogs, 2 cats and 3 horses (one a mini Shetland).

Why they chose this property

People say it's a little paradise. You will sleep peacefully. Far away from traffic, fabulous views, wonderful walks straight up the hill - the chemin rurale passes the property so we do get the odd walker/biker/rider.
We have restored the 18th century farm with sophisticated taste, using as many old beams, doors and windows as we could find hidden away plus architectural features bought from local chateaux. Bathrooms are comfortable, beds and bedlinen top quality. Guests have said they appreciate the quality of the decoration in bedrooms and bathrooms, half English half French decor.
The kitchen is very well equipped and guests can ask Amanda if they require any specific kitchen machine that is not in the Winery.

What makes this property unique

The pool and attractive stone surround are private with far reaching views. We use the pool when it is free (evenings) We occasionally have guests in our house who also use the pool
The saltwater pool is an infinity pool, in the evening, swimming 'into' the sunset is sheer paradise.
The huge kitchen/living room means families can be together whilst chatting/cooking/watching a film.
Teenagers can stream if they wish.
Masses for children to play with, boredom even on a rainy day should not set in! There is a super efficient pellet burner for when autumn is drawing in, plus electric heating upstairs.
The Winery is comfortable for short longer lets (1-2months) during off-season times please ask us for special out of season rates
