Fantastic Stay!

We received a lovely welcome from Gary and Denise - wine and home-made bread was a lovely touch! The setting for the gite is stunning, it was immaculately presented and has everything that you could want including very comfortable beds and a well equipped kitchen. The views from the bedrooms and terrace were wonderful and time spent by the lovely pool was much enjoyed. Our three boys (11, 14 and 15) really enjoyed the pool and the games room – everyone’s table tennis skills have improved no end! We were joined on our holiday by our parents who rented the attached gite (Le Coin Perdu) next door. This worked out really well, as we were able to go next door for a meal on the terrace, or invite them over to ours for breakfast, etc. In summary, we loved it! We would thoroughly recommend a stay at this beautiful location, and hope to return ourselves.

Séjour enchanteur et tranquille

Le gîte est situé dans un hameau tranquille, a 5 min en voiture de Junhac et 15 min des commerces principaux (boulangerie, boucherie, marché,…) L’arrivée au gîte se fait par un charmant jardin très fleuri et ombragé. Le gîte était parfait pour 4 et très bien équipé. Terrasse ombragée à l’arrière donnant sur la colline et les prés. 2 chambres avec une superbe vue sur la vallée. Observation des oiseaux de proie. Dépaysement garanti. Grande piscine très agréable en été. Plusieurs espaces de détente et de farniente dans le jardin. Accueil chaleureux et avisé de Denise et Gary, toujours disponibles et de bon conseil. La région fourmille de belles balades sur le Causse et dans la vallée du Lot et de la Truyere. Une belle découverte.

Les enfants ont adoré la piscine, la salle de jeux, la campagne environnante sans oublier Deano, le teckel de Denise et Gary.

Escapade enthousiasmante

Dès l'arrivée, nous avons été charmés par le lieu où tous est réalisé avec goût et recherche du bien être des hôtes. Ce fut bien trop court et nous sommes tous décidés à revenir profiter et à faire de notre belle expérience à nos familles et amis pour qu'ils puissent à leur tour bénéficier du confort des gîtes et de la disponibilité des hôtes. par exemple, une visite improvisée pour l'enfant de 3 ans du poulailler et l'installation spéciale d'une mini piscine et de jeux d'eau à son intention... Merci mille fois de vos gentilles intentions

Très bon séjour en famille autour de la grande piscine (d’eau légèrement salée) ; le jardin est magnifiquement fleuri, le gîte est propre et la décoration nous fait sentir immédiatement à l’aise.

About the host

Hosted by Gary & Denise Stephens

Host profile image
After many visits over many years to France, it was perhaps fate that we would move here. Many people dream of living the dream, Denise and I decided to follow ours and jumped in with both feet. We believe we have found our little piece of heaven here in the Cantal, a lovely old farmhouse with two superb gites/Apartment's, a large swimming pool, games room, Pétanque court and the most delightful views over the countryside you could possibly ask for. Denise and I both like to explore and we are centrally placed to reach the Med, Spain and even Italy. We love the garden and I like to play my guitar, while Denise loves art and is eager to re-ignite her passion for painting. We both have grown up children back in the UK who love to visit, just an hour from Rodez. we love where we live and look forward to it bewitching all our guests.

Why they chose this property

One minute high on the mountain tops then down again in the valleys and never far from cascading streams and yet beautiful meadows and forests all around. Deep rusty brown Salers Cattle graze and the new roads through the hills and lack of traffic on the roads make this area a pleasure to drive in. Experience the bustle of the local markets and fetes. The beautiful warm (30°) plus summers, balmy evenings, fresh clear clean air, peace and quiet and what is becoming rare indeed in the UK, lots and lots of space. both the spring and autumns vibrant colours make you just stop and catch your breath. And then in winter,you can still sit and eat outside and enjoy alpine blue skies with bright sunshine and the most spectacular sunsets. It makes this truly a special region all year round.

What makes this property unique

Gites/Apartments one and two both benefit from being next to the pool with glorious views over uninterrupted countryside. Inside there are all the mod cons you should need which include washing machines, dishwashers microwaves, over and above the equipment that you would expect to have normally. There is a games room underneath where you can enjoy a game of ping pong on the full sized table tennis table, also good for the children to get out of the hot summer heat when it gets too hot. There is space to play Pétanque or to just kick back and laze by the pool. If you wish to have a night in there are barbecues and the local good red wine, MARCILLAC is certainly worth sampling. we are only 3km from Montsalvy, where you have all types of shop and the nearest large town is Aurillac which is only 25 mins away. 20 minutes away the is the stunning village of Entraygues with its beautiful architecture right next to the river. Another beautiful village is Conque a must see. We are very fortunate to have a Deer park in our village of Junhac which the children love to visit. Our area is perfect for walkers and cyclists, often we have the Tour de France pass by.
