The Farmhouse

A wonderful 2 weeks with family in an iconic French farmhouse by the river. Fantastic weather and a swim in the pool everyday. There is so much more to Coutras than we expected, the surrounding areas and Chateaux’s everywhere made for a perfect holiday. And none more than our wonderful host Jo.

Superb house, beautiful location. Perfect!

Where to start? The house is stunning and if anything the online listing undersells it. We visited as a 3-generation family group in summer 2024 with ages ranging from 15 to 77, everyone in the group fell in love with the place. The bedrooms are all beautifully presented, quiet & cool and the beds are super comfortable, the bathrooms are all well-equipped and the house was immaculately clean when we arrived. The kitchen too is excellent with plenty of room, crockery, utensils, cutlery etc to cater for the size of group the property can accommodate. We hardly used the dining room or sitting room, but again they looked lovely - stylish, comfortable and appropriately sized for the house. The outside space, where we spent the majority of our time, is amazing. Again there's plenty of room for every one, the pool is perfect - a real sun trap and a great size, and the river is lovely to swim in or kayak on. The outside cooking area made for sociable evenings (nobody left inside prepping dinner, when you decide to eat at home). For days out - Coutras is around a 30min train journey to Bordeaux and about the same car journey to St Emilion The owner, Jo, is a super host and we couldn't have felt more welcome. Can't wait to return. Thank you Jo!

A great house for a family holiday.

The house was voted by all the family as the best large holiday home we have stayed in. We particularly loved the large covered terrrace. We were 3 generations including 6 teenagers, but the house was well equiped for children of all ages. All the rooms were beautufully furnished, thought we didn't have the need to use the formal dining room or sitting room. The access to the river at the bottom of the garden was a bonus, allowing canooing (canoos provided) and paddleboarding fun and it was wonderful to spot all the kingfishers who live there. Jo was very welcoming and friendly and I am sure would have been very helpful if we had needed anything.

Our Family July 2023 Week

Jo is a super hostess and responded instantly to any requests. The house was very well equipped. The layout of the property was perfect for our needs: 2 grandparents, 4 other adults, 2 teenagers and 2 10-12 year-olds. Setting is lovely, on the river and 2 kayaks provided to enjoy. Highlight for us was the huge covered area. Housed the BBQ, a lounge area, dining table and games area. We spent most of the time in this great space. A very enjoyable family Break!

I absolutely loved the property. So much space for two families with grown up kids. Bedroom and bathroom each and all lovely. Fab kitchen and equipment. Glorious garden and pool area with river frontage for canoeing. Well equipped for all the activities and games and books galore. Jo the host is absolutely lovely and I can’t wait to revisit. A little drive to St Emilion and some wonderful restaurants.

Perfect for large family

Family of 12 - 3 generations including a toddler and 3 year-old. House much bigger than expected. Beds comfortable, plenty of bathrooms. Great outdoor spaces including swimming pool, huge terrace, and access to river for kayaking. All very secure for little people with gates and a walled pool area. Great cooking facilities and bbq. We loved our stay! It's rural, 20 min walk to nearest town. (Slight negative was poor internet/wifi). But truly a great place for a holiday!

La vielle ferme experience

Attractive, well laid out, thoughtfully equipped and catering superbly for the needs of our extended family (3 generations) through a range of options which allowed the younger members of our party to be as active as they wished whilst ensuring a more sedate alternative for the more mature. A great place to spend a holiday. The area itself also offers a breadth of experiences to suit all tastes whether they be cultural, wine (the vineyards of St Emilion are a short drive away) or family fun activities eg water parks, paddle boards, velorail all within 15 minutes of the property. Jo herself, was very supportive and always on hand to answer questions, the perfect hostess. We would have no hesitation in recommending this property.

Wonderful holiday

We were a group of 8 adults and 3 children. The house was lovely with large rooms, ensuite bathrooms and a very large terrace that we used for meals and relaxation. The kitchen is very well-equipped. The swimming pool is great and was used a great deal. Overall, I can recommend this property for a great family holiday.

Tolles Haus für größere Gruppen

Wir haben in dem sehr geschmackvoll renovierten alten Bauernhaus einen wunderbaren 1-wöchigen Urlaub mit 10 Erwachsenen verbracht. Sehr viel Platz, viele Angebote wie der große Salzwasser-Pool mit 8 Liegen, Tischtennis, Boule, großer Gas-Grill, Kajak fahren auf der Isle und einen großen Garten ermöglichten einen abwechslungsreichen und entspannten Aufenthalt. Die Zimmer sind gut ausgestattet und überwiegend mit eigenen Duschbad. Die Reiseabwicklung mit der Joanna (Vermieterin) war problemlos und sehr angenehm. Die Küche ist für größere Gruppen ausreichend ausgestattet. Alles in allem ein Feriendomizil, das man jederzeit weiter empfehlen kann.
