Gîte idéal POST-LOCKDOWN - jardin privé, grand parc, tranquillité, piscine - Fermier

Six of us enjoyed a great week in June in Le Fermier. The grounds were extensive and beautifully landscaped with large spaces for play and relaxation. The cottage itself was spacious and well - equipped and lots of dvds and books available should the weather turn inclement. The pool was large and allowed a good swim. We were welcomed by Theresa who was leaving the next day for the uk but were well looked after by Stephanie during our stay. Although quite rural the large supermarket in Auch was only 10 minutes drive away for supplies. A couple of smaller saucepans / frying pans could be added to the kitchen utensils. Would certainly book again if visiting the area.

Our party was four (female) friends who had met at university 40 years ago and who wanted quiet accommodation in an interesting area to catch up and spend time together. Peyloubere more than fit the bill; we took Fermier, and arrived on a Friday to find everything spick and span, well equipped and spacious. Lovely wood burner in the generous and comfortable sitting/dining room (logs were readily provided on site); lots of space in the kitchen for all of us to gather and share the cooking, and delightful grounds and sauna. Theresa was on hand to deal with any queries, and everything was managed very efficiently. We found Auch more interesting than anticipated, especially when Theresa told us that the annual circus skills festival was taking place (we went to see some of the student acrobats performing their assessed pieces in one of the many big tops around town). The Thursday market by the river was a delight, and the Saturday one fine if smaller than the main one. Plenty of local information on hand to find walks and activities, but the autumn sunshine in the courtyard and grounds meant we were very happy around the house. Lots of birdlife around the houses (including an owl) and the landscaping of the cottages was cleverly organised so that nobody was overlooked and everyone had some private outdoor space. We plan to return!
