About this house rental
Beautifully restored and wonderfully situated farmhouse consisting of 8 x 6 metre barn with open plan kitchen, dining area and living room connected to house with four bedrooms (three doubles and one twin), one ensuite and two further bathrooms all with showers. The barn opens on to a large wood-framed covered terrace with 10 x 5 metre swimming pool close-by. The pool is opened from mid-June to early September, otherwise by prior arrangement with the owner. Good access to very private grounds consisting of tree-lined gardens and paddock. The pool has a removable fence surround that we leave in place through the summer whilst the pool is in use.
Great area for relaxing and sight-seeing - many bastide towns and villages, excellent restaurants, historical sites including castles forts and medieval sites. Cultural and gastronomic events with regular night-markets. Prune, nut, cheese and Fois Gras centres are fun to visit.

A beautiful property in a stunning location that is so peaceful, the view from the garden is a delight. The pool was a massive hit and allowed all to cool down after a hot day exploring. Probably the best stocked property we have stayed at, with everything that you need to self cater.
The area has a lot to offer all within a 20minute drive, the summer night markets are a must and were enjoyed by all. If you want rural France that is not too touristy then this is a great location to go. We found everything from medieval villages, to theme parks, to caves and lots of fabulous food.
Fantastic communication with Tim before our stay.
Thank you.

We came with our bikes to do some cycling along the canal de la Garonne and the river Lot, both within easy reach by car. With temperatures in the high 30s the best bits were shady sections of the canal bike path between Damazan and le Mas d'Agenais. At the house we spent a lot of time in the lovely pool. The house and gardens are in a quiet rural location, a welcome complete contrast to our usual city life. As a converted barn the house is full of character and there was everything we needed. We were happy to be left to our own devices but when we had a minor query Tim and Renia responded immediately to our email and sorted it out with their local lady. Other than sleeping or cooking we spent all our time at the house either at the pool or sitting on the shady verandah. The evening insects were of the ankle biting variety which was a bit annoying. Prayssas is a short drive away, easy parking, nice bakery and very good convenience store where you can also get cash.

Une bonne semaine de vacances dans un endroit calme et très joli.

L'environnement est très calme, en pleine nature et la région est agréable.
La maison pourrait être un très bel endroit car très bien rénovée initialement mais elle est très humide et n'est pas entretenue.
Beaucoup de choses étaient cassées :
- moustiquaires trouées et qui ne ferment plus
- poignée de la porte d'entrée qui reste dans la main
- rideaux qui menacent de tomber car les crochets sont cassés
- rangements de la porte du réfrigérateur absents (ce qui limite beaucoup son volume utile)
- paroi de douche cassée
- parasol et transats de la piscine et table extérieure utilisables mais cassés
Plus grave, il y a des infiltrations d'humidité au plafond et du salpêtre sur les murs d'une des chambres.
Il n'y a pas assez de lumière dehors pour profiter des soirées en terrasse
Le propriétaire, contacté, nous a indiqué que tout serait réparé en octobre y compris la fuite du toit dont il avait connaissance (tant mieux pour les prochains), qu'il fallait utiliser des bougies pour s'éclairer dehors (un peu limite pour jouer à des jeux de société) et que le prix de la location était plus bas que les prix pratiqués habituellement (et donc, ça autorise le propriétaire à louer un bien dans cet état sans en informer le locataire ?)
Contrairement aux informations contenues dans le descriptif de la maison :
- il n'y a pas de télé (il y a juste un écran avec une prise d'alimentation, en cherchant bien nous avons trouvé un lecteur DVD qui était caché dans un placard)
- il n'y a pas de détecteur de fumée (ce qui est obligatoire dans toutes les maisons en France depuis 2015)
- la trousse de secours ne contient que des pansements et compresses moisis.
Enfin, la pergola annoncée en réponse à un avis sur le manque d'ombre à la piscine ne sert à rien. Il n'y a aucune couverture, il y a seulement une treille mais il faudra encore quelques années avant qu'elle ait poussé suffisamment pour faire un peu d'ombre.
