About this property

Exquisite secluded cottage for a couple, with terraces and private swimming pool

An exquisite secluded cottage with two external terraces and swimming pool,
A very secluded detached one-bedroom stone-built cottage with barn ideal for couples. All part of a small hamlet of three properties. The completely self -contained house with open plan kitchen, living and dining room on the upper is approached by a wide stone staircase from the covered lower terrace to the upper covered terrace.
The newly installed kitchen is equipped with oven, hob, microwave, toaster, coffee machine, fridge, freezer, and dishwasher.
There is fast internet facilities, and Humax satellite TV.
The first-floor bedroom with ensuite shower and separate WC is accessed via a wooden staircase. (Please note that the staircase is quite steep and narrow, so not suitable for guests with limited mobility).

The two covered terraces have tables and chairs for out door dining, and there is a Weber BBQ in the lower terrace.

The 8m x 4m pool with surrounding paving is enclosed by stone walls to provide complete privacy, with loungers and parasol.

There is approximately 2 acres of garden surrounding the property, and gravel parking.
Within view of the Céle River, known for trout and perch fishing, it is also easily accessible for a number of river side activities including kayaking and canoeing, or just peaceful picnics.
Just 5 minutes’ walk down the lane to the popular ‘La Belle Époque’ restaurant and conveniently close, to the beautiful medieval town of Figeac, with its bustling Saturday market and delightful shops and restaurants. Famous for its association with the Egyptologist Jean Francois Champollion, (who published the first translation of the Rosetta stone hieroglyphs in the 19th century) Figeac offers everything you need to experience a traditional French town.
Very conveniently located for easy access to many tourist spots, activities and places of interest such as Rocamadour, Gouffre de Padirac, Cahors, and St Cirq-Lapopie and is an ideal base for visiting the Lot, Dordogne and Célé river valleys for a choice of many activities.

We operate a Saturday check in (4pm onwards) and Saturday check out (before 10am) because our team changing linen, cleaning, pool and garden maintenance are contracted to this date and provide the best service.

Beautiful property in an amazing location
Beautiful peaceful location, the area the house is in was really lovely. We loved the pool area and the outside space but would say the accommodation in general needs a little tlc - no blinds/curtains in the bedroom, mosquito nets (on the windows that had them) broken, loose paving around the pool. The property could have been cleaner on arrival. The toilet is in a cupboard which makes it not the easiest to use! The bedroom is in the loft space and was very hot, however the bed was very comfortable and large. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything you could need, TV and wifi worked well.

Sérénité, calme et randonnées
Cottage bien adapté pour un couple, très bien équipé que se soit en appareils électroménagers, en ustensiles de cuisine !!! Propreté à souligner. La piscine appréciable après les randonnées, nombreuses dans la region, hors des sentiers touristiques avec promesses de belles rencontres, de beaux sites à visiter. Nous avons apprécié le cadre et le calme qui régnait dans ce petit hameau. Location répondant parfaitement à notre attente.

Excellent hideaway for a couple
Beautiful secluded situation, but with the lovely town of Figeac not far away. Ideal for a couple, but the warning about unsuitability for the lesser mobile should be taken seriously! The spiral staircase is very narrow and the toilet is quite cramped and rather strangely located right at the top of the staircase. We were there in a very hot period, and the bedroom could benefit from the installation of aircon for such weather. But these issues were, in our view, more than offset by the great situation and the external design of the property, which provides complete seclusion. We enjoyed many evenings on the terrace eating BBQs, after swimming in the lovely pool. And we saw red squirrels!

Picture perfect
My fiancé and I had a wonderful, relaxing trip. The weather was beautiful and we spent loads of time relaxing by the pool. Beautiful setting and the house is well-equipped with everything that you need for cooking, etc. Thanks for a great week after a long lockdown in Ireland!

Magnifique
Très beau séjour dans ce très beau gîte charmant et au calme absolu. La communication avec les propriétaires était parfaite et le présent de bienvenue très agréable. Gîte et piscine pour nous seuls et à l'usage exclusif très appréciable. Tout le confort au niveau mobilier et grand lit très confortable. Seul bémol, les fourmis un peu trop envahissantes mais le produit à disposition a fait son effet ! Figeac et les alentours offrent par ailleurs de belles évasions.

L'endroit rêvé pour savourer le calme et la nature dans un lieu confortable
Un cottage charmant dans la belle architecture locale accessible par une route peu large. Aménagement confortable et élégante décoration. L'accès au 1er étage se fait par un escalier étroit praticable pour des personnes sans souci de mobilité. TV satellite avec nombreuses chaînes en Anglais. Accès à Netflix. Un emplacement formidable pour les amoureux de nature à la recherche du calme. Accueil très professionnel et sympathique.

Tolles Ferienobjekt. Sehr ruhige Lage, schöner privater Pool.
Schönes Haus mit schönem Pool . Dass es nur eine Dusche im ersten Stock gegeben hat, war etwas störend. Eine Dusche beim Pool wäre gut, da man zB nach dem Rad fahren erst duscht bevor man in den Pool schwimmen geht.... und in der Nacht hat uns mehrmals ein Nagetier mit dem geknabbern am (im) Dach aufgeweckt..🥴. Wir hatten in dieser Woche nicht das ganz perfekte warme Wetter - war aber sicher für uns von Vorteil, da es wahrscheinlich sonst sehr warm im Schlafzimmer gewesen wäre. Aber sonst war es perfekt. Auch im Vorfeld mit den Vermietern und Vorort mit der Betreuung war sehr angenehm und gut. Wir hatten kurzfristig ein Problem mit dem Strom- aber da wurde uns sehr rasch geholfen. Den Griller hatten wir nicht benutzt - aber wir haben ihn uns angesehen und er war leider nicht sehr sauber gereinigt. Wir haben uns (trotzdem 😉) sehr wohl gefühlt und können es nur empfehlen.
