Close to a water park, kayaking, and more, this smoke-free cottage brings it all within reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 5-minute drive to Causses du Quercy Regional Natural Park or the 7-minute drive to Grottes de Lacave (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return, you can unwind by the communal pool or sip a drink in the garden; you may also like the deck or patio. As for the great indoors, you can come inside and enjoy the WiFi and TV.

Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer and soap. And because there's access to laundry facilities, you can go a bit lighter on your packing. Other amenities include a fireplace, an ironing board, housekeeping, and heating.
