new for 2008: stunning and sensitively converted barn with 14x7m pool
This barn was stylishly and sensitively converted in 2008. Guests regularly comment on how well equipped it is; please read reviews. It sleeps a max of 4 persons in twin and double rooms. The garden boasts a vast 14m pool with electric security cover. It is part of a larger property nestled in a rustic setting about 2 km from the village of St Puy. Surrounded by farmland and wooded area, this peaceful location is perfect for unwinding, relaxing and enjoying one of the most celebrated gastronomic areas of SW France. The interior has been equipped to a very high standard whilst also retaining many of the features from the 1850s structure such as original openings and beautifully restored interior stone walls. The living room is vast with beautiful views. The kitchen is superbly fitted and equipped to a very high standard. Bedrooms are spacious and the King Size bed will not disappoint. There are some garden games and a good selection of bicycles in the garage which may be borrowed. Wifi throughout.
Hospitality: A welcome pack of essentials can be arranged as can a meal on the evening of your arrival.
We had a fantastic week in a brilliant gite in the perfect location for exploring Gers. Everything was as advertised and the hosts Val & Nick were very helpful.
Can't speak highly enough of the place.
Hidden gem in beautiful, peaceful area but still with plenty to see and do.
Would definitely return and recommend.
Nick and Val were perfect hosts and made our time at their beautiful gite even more special.
The area was amazing. The gite was basic but fine. The pool was fabulous. As it was so hot fans were needed but not provided. We were disappointed that the bikes were not available whilst we were there. We had a fabulous holiday and found a lot of lovely gems to visit.
All above is correct, but I in hospital in Toulouse must of the time - Nick and Val were extremely helpful in whatever way - the fact that I am a live to day, lies greatly on them - best of love to Nick and Val in my hospital bed â€ïžâ€ïž
We had an absolutely marvelous stay! The guest house is very well appointed for a family of four. It was neat and tidy and the perfect accommodation for our 10 day visit. The hosts are lovely people and ensured we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The converted barn is attached to the main house and is beautifully renovated. It feels very private with a separate entrance and patio area with direct access to the beautiful well maintained pool (shared use with the owners). Our children loved the pool and we used it almost daily during our stay. If you are looking for a quiet place to relax and explore the beauty of the Gers we highly recommend!
Weâve just returned from a week at this property.
Nick was an excellent host and made sure we had all the information we needed both in the property and the surrounding area. His knowledge of the area is really helpful.
The property is exactly how itâs listed. Very spacious for a family of 4 and plenty of thoughtful additions.
Everything was clean and we had everything we needed.
The indoor areas are fantastic but the outside areas are just perfect. The little seating area outside the door in the shade is great for breakfast and the views are fantastic.
The pool is absolutely fanatic and huge for a private pool. Our girls loved spending time in the pool and I enjoyed actual swims in a good size pool.
Spacious, comfortable gite for four, terrific pool
This is a spacious, beautifully designed and restored gite, in a peaceful location in a very lovely part of France. The local village of St Puy is alive and full of character; the area abounds in history and architecture, with innumerable walks through the countryside, not to mention the fois gras, and the pousse rapiere. Plenty of excellent restaurants within a ten mile radius; definitely try the one in the village. Day trips to the Pyrenees are a must, and easy to access. Not so the beach - it's a long drive, but you don't come to St Puy if you want to stay by the seaside, and you have the huge pool.
The gite is really well maintained, and the owner was very responsive to our needs.
My husband and I stayed at the gite for a week from the 7th-14th October.
We were in the area for a wedding. It was a lovely relaxing stay. Itâs very rare we can get away from it all. No internet or tv, just lazy days around the pool, glorious sunshine, which we werenât expecting in October and a huge choice of dvds to choose from on an evening. Comfy bed with a fantastic view of the stars at night with no light pollution to spoil it. Countryside views as far as the eye can see. Plenty of books to read to pass the time. On our last day we went for lunch at Le Florida,(about 15 minute drive away) which was fantastic. Well worth a visit. Nick, the host was lovely and very quick to respond to any questions that we had. It was my first visit to France but hopefully not my last!
Extremely quiet location with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The kitchen is well equipped and the bedrooms are roomy with very comfortable beds. The living room is vast! The pool was âfreshâ but perfect for refreshing our legs after cycling. There was always hot water for showers and we were very grateful to be able to use the garage to store our bikes. We would love to return and explore more of Nickâs cycling routes.
This was our first time visiting the Gers department and we couldn't have chosen a better location. The gite is tastefully done and well appointed. We all enjoyed the massive salt water swimming pool and the quiet countryside location. Lots of beautiful villages and towns to visit in the region. Nick and Val were wonderful hosts and made us feel very welcome and at home. Highly recommend this place if you are considering a visit to the Gasgogne region. ~ The Canadians
The house was perfect for a relaxing week in family ! Nick and Val were lovely and available when we had questions ! The house is on nature, we saw savage animals in front of the window, and the pool is really big for swimming ! If you want a relaxing journey in a lovely house, donât hesitate ! Thank you Nick and Val.
Le principal atout est cette grande piscine, la maison est grande , confortable et fraĂźche mĂȘme quand il fait 35°dehors.
C'est une adresse que nous retenons.
Another really relaxing holiday in this lovely part of France. This is the third time we have stayed in this gite, it suits a family of 4 perfectly. Comfortable, clean and well equipped with a fantastic pool. In easy reach of lots of attractions - picturesque villages, swimming lake, roman ruins, quiet roads for cycling, there is something for everyone. Hopefully we shall be back next year.
