We have stayed in the south west of France many times before, and can honestly say that this is one of the most idyllic homes we have stayed in. Sue and Steve have been truly wonderful to us, the accommodation does exactly as described, completely private but with easy access to the wonderful surroundings and within short reach of the beautiful villages and towns the area has to offer. The property is extremely well equipped, the pool is perfect and well maintained. Everything feels fresh and clean. We cannot recommend this holiday home highly enough and would come back again any time. Thank you both so much. Guest rating: 5 stars James Mayo Sat, 22 Jun 2024
Have just returned from two lovely weeks in Tarn-et-Garonne with a very relaxing stay at the Woodland Retreat. We were welcomed by Steve and Sue who were both accommodating and helpful. If you’re eager to escape busy modern working life and are looking for a peaceful sanctuary surrounded by nature - Buzzards, Herons and more - then the Woodland Retreat is for you. It’s a well-appointed lodge nestling on the banks of the little river Bonnette running just outside. A spacious outdoor area with shaded dining table meant we cooked al fresco several evenings, and a large, very comfy bed gave us a good night’s sleep. 25-30 degrees of delightful weather made the lovely and private pool area a great way to spend afternoons (and evenings with a glass of wine enjoying the sunset over Loze). The elevated pool and spacious deck are well thought through, a unique construction which awards good views down the river, and a real sun trap, with a perfect water temperature. Having travelled across France for 20 years, the surrounding area was quite a discovery, beautiful and unspoiled, with little commerce. Nearby St-Antonin-Noble-Val was one of the most atmospheric medieval French towns we’ve visited in this region of Quercy. Several good supermarkets are less than half an hour away, except one of the greatest pleasures was driving the 10 minutes along the Vallee de la Bonnette past the old water mills and waterfall for croissants, baguettes (and perhaps too much) patisserie from charming Caylus. Steve and Sue have created a real haven of peace and privacy in this corner of ‘La France profonde’. Peaceful, private and well equipped - with all the things you need to genuinely stop, relax and kick-back.
