Classic French Country Holidays

'Le Pible' has been the feature of an article in LIVING FRANCE magazine and recently featured in a promotion in the MAIL ON SUNDAY.

Le Pible is found nestling on the hillside below the small Roman village of Montignac Le Coq. One of numerous ancient hill top villages that make up this pretty and interesting corner of rural south west France.

• Sleeps 2 - 8 people • 4 Double bedrooms • 2 Bathrooms • 10 x 5 metre swimming pool • Large Farmhouse kitchen • Sun Terrace • Tranquil setting • Pretty views

The farmhouse provides a perfect self catering holiday for the whole family: completely detached and away from the 'hustle and bustle' of the outside world. The 18th century family house has been lovingly restored retaining a traditional French country feel. Incorporating all the original stone and timber features which give it so much character, the house is equipped with totally modern amenities, alleviating any worries of antique French plumbing!

Situated in a pretty courtyard, the farmhouse forms a square with the other original farm dwellings, only one of which, the wine chais, is inhabited, by ourselves. We welcome guests on arrival and are happy to assist or advise should you so wish.

The swimming pool is 10m x 5m and for the sole use of the farmhouse guests, set within the ruined walls of an old barn, it is both secluded and bathed in sunshine. There is plenty of outdoor furniture such as sun loungers, table and chairs. The vicinity of the pool is securely yet discreetly fenced, for the safety of young children and in compliance with French Government regulations. The pool is open from 17th May until 4th October.

Surrounded by gently rolling fields, Le Pible sits quietly amongst meadows of wild flowers, corn and sunflowers. The light woodlands are home to nightingales and numerous birds of prey, including buzzards, kites and owls, and the natural fresh water springs attract an assortment of wildlife.

We have 7 acres in total, and these are laid to meadow and gardens around the courtyard buildings. Splendid mature trees offer shady corners in which to relax at your leisure with copious space for children to enjoy.

There is table tennis to enjoy in the open barn and many country lanes and tracks to explore. But if finding a little corner to read your book in dappled shade is the order of the day, then look no further! a seat or hammock under the fruit trees of the walled garden, is the perfect spot. A telephone is installed in order that guests may be contacted if they so wish, and outgoing calls can be obtained with the use of a phone card. A 2mb broadband wireless facility is available. There is a UK satellite television ‘Free to View’ (BBC, ITV, 24 News, children’s channels, radio etc) together with a DVD player and portable CD audio player. The ideal holiday rental property.

All fresh linen is supplied, including towels, and the beds are ready made up on arrival. The farmhouse suits perfectly all those wishing to enjoy the peace and tranquility, found in the perfect, 'away from it all', location.
