L'Etable - Cottage that overlooks miles of woodland

THE PROPERTY

L'Etable comprises of 1 bedroom on the mezzanine and the sitting room that looks out over the swimming pool to the expansive countryside. The house is perfect for a couple but can accommodate one more person on a clic-clac in the living room.

The kitchen is equipped with modern appliances including an induction stove, combination microwave / oven, large fridge freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. The dining table comfortably seats 4 as does the living space. The bathroom offers a modern shower. The upstairs bedroom is accessed via a modern spiral staircase. The private terrace is decked out with lounges and is only meters from the pool.

For the colder seasons, L'Etable has a wood burner, central heating and a heated towel rail in the shower room, making it a cosy retreat for the snowy or autumn periods.
Please note, guests need to buy their own firewood. It will not be provided.

L'Etable shares a large 15 metre pool with one other Gite. Please note the pool is open from 1st June - 30th September and is an ambient temperature. The pool may be heated on request however this will incur an additional daily charge for which the guests will be responsible.

Guests can sit on the terrace overlooking the pool, lay by the pool and also have access to lawns, table tennis and play ground that are shared with 3 other gites on the large property.

_________________________________________________________________________________

LOCATION
L'Etable is in the quiet village of Puyjourdes. Visiting the charming Market towns of Cajarc and Limogne both of which are 10 kilometers away and have markets on Saturday and Sunday respectively. Other towns to visit include Villeneuve-du-Rouergue, St.-Cirq-Lapopie and Figeac where Champollion of Rosetta Stone fame was born.

To work off the good food and take a break from the pool there are plenty of Road and Mountain Bike riding paths around the village and in the wider LOT region. Our favourite is the bike and walking track to Carjac. Horse riding, walking, kayaking, swimming, water skiing, caving, climbing, parapenting are all within a easy drive or bike ride. A favourite of the kids (from 7 to 70 !!) is the rope course with various levels of difficulty finishing with a flying fox over the lake. All of these are within 15 kilometres.
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

A seemingly timeless part of South France, Puyjourdes. Exceptionally beautiful, in history.

It's not difficult to relax here at the Reid's part of the world. Miles of beautiful scenery every which way. You definitely need a car, or a sturdy bike!! Villages every few kilometres, just head out of the village and it's not far to anywhere. Experience a natural rural South France. Facilities are modern and kitchens well equipped with everything you need for at least a week. A good washing machine is a plus when you're on the road for some weeks. And to cook good food is a pleasant change.

Le pire et le meilleur

J'avais choisi cette location-la plus chère- car il y avait chauffage central et poêle à bois.Il ne me faut que quelques minutes pour comprendre que la réalité est loin des mots et des photos ! Heureusement, j'arrive seul, je dois aller chercher ma compagne à la gare de Cahors, quelques heures après. Car il n'y a pas de chauffage central, et le logement est froid et humide : un climatiseur envoie de l'air chaud vers le plafond, un radiateur mobile fait ce qu'il peut et un déshumidificateur de même ! Le poêle à bois se révélera complètement inefficace, et j'avais amené avec moi du bon bois, vivant à la campagne et chauffé avec un "bon" poêle à bois !Le propriétaire, très gentil, est pris au dépourvu, n'ayant sans doute jamais cru que quelqu'un viendrait début janvier dans"ce trou perdu", d'ailleurs il n'habite là, certainement très agréable l'été ! Devant mon désarroi, très vite il me propose, si cela nous convient, l'appart qu'il occupe, pour le lendemain si nous ne voulons pas rester dans la location prévue. Et nous déménagerons, le dimanche dans un grand appart, juste à côté, sur trois niveaux et bien chauffé ! Et nous passons un bon séjour, agréable, grâce à la gentillesse du propriétaire. Expérience "normale" quand on croit les mots et les photos de l'industrie touristique. Ceux qui lisent ces mots, ont-ils une idée où se trouve l'endroit de cette location ? Dans quelque temps, je vérifierai si elle est toujours proposée en toute saison avec son chauffage central !

Splendeur du Lot

Le gîte est charmant, vue magnifique et calme absolu. A moins de 15 minutes plein de choses à faire (balades, canoë, cheval, phosphatieres...) et proche de St cirq la popie et Cahors. Hamish est super, toujours souriant et avec de belles valeurs de partage. Oui il y a des insectes (guêpes, moustiques) mais le cadre est tellement beau qu'on passe de merveilleux moments sur la terrasse qui donne sur la piscine. Merci pour tout Hamish !

Spacious property in a dreamlike location

The property offers enough space for a family, with the possibility to get together or have time to themselves. The area is quiet and lets you relax quickly and well. Nevertheless, shopping and leisure facilities are within easy reach. We had a great time and can only recommend the stay.

chouette lieu

L'endroit est beau et relativement bien entretenu... même si le nettoyage n'était pas tip top et que de notre point de vue, il manquait quelques informations pratico pratique sur le coin ( passage du boulanger dans le village, sorties spécifiques à faire dans la région mises à jour...). Nous aimons les cadres bucoliques et surtout, créer du lien avec les gens du coin... ici, un peu difficile avec la barrière de la langue et le manque d'info. Pour deux adultes avec un bébé, endroit super.

C'est la 5e année que nous séjournons dans "l'Etable" à notre entière satisfaction.

La combinaison dans un bâtiment ancien avec le confort contemporain nous plait. Le lieu est très calme et situé à 10km de Limognes, village sympa où on trouve tout pour se ravitailler. La propriété est bien entretenue; la piscine de qualité.

Gîte rural

Concernant le gîte l'étable : gîte très rustique et rénové par le propriétaire. Cuisine complète avec lave-vaisselle et machine à laver, mais pas très nette. Les poubelles étaient vidées mais pas nettoyées à l'intérieur et l'air conditionné, si il est présent, ne l'utilisez pas si vous ne voulez pas que la cuisine soit inondée! Le linge de maison était propre et sentait bon le frais ainsi que la chambre à coucher avec un bon lit, bon matelas et des propres draps. La salle de bain était assez fonctionnelle, une douche qui vous donne de l'eau bien chaude, un sèche cheveux, bac à linge etc... Comme c'est un gîte rural, des toiles d’araignées un peu partout. Les housses des fauteuils ne sont pas d'une propreté éclatante et la wifi est d'une lenteur exécrable. La terrasse est bien telle que sur la photo, et vous donne une vue splendide sur la région. La piscine est assez propre, sans plus. La propriétaire qui nous a reçu à notre arrivée ne parle pas beaucoup le français et nous l'avons juste vue ce jour là et puis plus du tout, même pas le jour de notre départ. La région est très jolie, et vous avez l'occasion de faire de grandes balades à partir du village. Le village le plus proche est Cajarc où vous trouverez boulangerie, boucher, casino et super marché, soit 12 km.
