Excellent accommodation in a wonderful location!

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.

Beautiful property with fantastic pool

We’ve 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 it’s 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.

St Puy Gite

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.

Location très agréable

Très bel endroit, belle maison bien arrangée dans un bel environnement. Superbe piscine. Tout a été parfait (à part le frigo qui est si petit qu'on ne peut pas y ranger un saladier mais c'est un détail). Les propriétaires sont réactifs et n'hésitent pas à vous satisfaire en cas de demande particulière.

Lovely peaceful stay in the Gers

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!

Peace and quiet

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. It’s very rare we can get away from it all. No internet or tv, just lazy days around the pool, glorious sunshine, which we weren’t 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!

Lovely peaceful location and spacious house

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 “fresh” 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 Nick’s cycling routes.

La maison est grande et spacieuse, avec une vue sur la piscine ( très grande) et une terrasse disponible pour des dîner en toute tranquillité. Déconnexion assurée. Un havre de paradis avec le charme à l’anglaise.

Perfect 6 week stay in the Gers

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

Relaxing holiday in the Gers

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.

Our second visit

Although we rarely visit the same place twice, this was our second visit to Cauboue and again we had a brilliant time. The gite is roomy and comfortable for any season and conducive to a relaxing and stress free holiday with the advantage of having a friendly "manager" - Richard - at the end of a phone. The outlying area is so pleasant to drive through and stop off when the fancy takes with numerous little restaurants in the various, historical little villages. That's if you can tear yourself away from the enormous swimming pool which was a boon this year as we had some very hot days. The local restaurants are good value but in some cases require booking. One particular little pizzeria in the main street out of Valence sur Baise is well worth a visit and very popular with the local residents. (Try the cider). We really love Cauboue and look forward to returning.

About the host

Hosted by Nick and Val Nelson-Piercy

We are recently retired. We spend as much time as ww can in France. We have three grown up boys.

Why they chose this property

We wanted a place to relax during long summer holidays - and Cauboue has ticked all the boxes for young boys right up to young adults.

What makes this property unique

Very comfortable property, perfect rural idyll to enjoy great weather, food and scenery.
