Customer Reviews [9]

Ineke and Faak - August 2023
Relaxing beauty and inspiring glimps of art and decoration. (esp. Tim's Raven!) Top spot here!
Thank you for everything!
"Elan" gives us an everlasting memory.
Groeten!

Julia, Rich and Beatrice - July 2023
We have had a wonderful and memorable two weeks here. You both have been very helpful and thoughtful.
Highlights for us were relaxing by the pool, the great markets at Cahors and Prayssac, the daily petit déjeuner at Chez Lajo and C. using Frans' smoker and BBQ!
We are looking forward to returning!

Sam, Grace, Milly, Callum - August 2022
Thanks Kate and Franz for creating such a peaceful and beautiful place to stay. Enjoying tea and coffee on our last morning we were joined by 2 deer - a lovely last moment.
We are going to miss the house, the swimming pool and the beautiful meadow. Our highlights are Montcuq market, spending time in Lauzerte and Montpazier, two very pretty places. We have had some great food, especially at Le Caillau.
It has been a special summer for our children, who have both had to endure exams and so it is fantastic that we as a family have been able to spend time together in this wonderful place.
So pleased to have met you both and of course the little Lotte. Love from us all.

Suzanna and Aidan March 2022
This is an idyllic luxury dream. A tranquil abode where resistance against rest and relaxation is futile. Welcoming in 2022 with Kate, Frans, their family and friends felt like home away from home with immediate family. They have created a home where you can freely engage in the beauty of this corner of France in an easthetic space curated to the highest level. We could class them as more than 'friends' - and definitely as 'MTFS'.
The only antidote to departing is to plot the return and this has already begun.

Frank, Barbara and Sara
What can we say.
We had an amazing stay!
Thanks!!

We are so grateful to have met you both! Thank you for sharing your slice of heaven with us.
It was everything we dreamed of and more. We leave for London feeling rejuvenated from the warmth and tendriers you showed us. We can't wait to see you again.

Greg, Lauren and Orla
The unfortunate thing about writing this note is that it means we have to leave8
Thank you for a wonderful stay in beautiful surroundings. We were blown away by the stylish and lovingly-renovated accommodation and enjoyed spending our time here very much. It made for a truly special holiday for baby Orla8
Thank you also to Frankz and Kate for the warm welcome ; it was great to meet you.

Sophie, Graham, Michael and Susan - July 2019
Thank you! We have had a wonderful stay at your beautiful guest house. The decor is absolutely stunning and Susanne and I have been coveting your crockery and cacti for 2 weeks.
The restaurant and wine tips were greatly appreciated and we have enjoyed ourselves immensely.
Thank you for making our stay so comfortable and the lovely welcome.
