The properties are enclosed and safe with electric gates and plenty for small children to do in the garden whilst parents relax by the pool!
A trampoline, swing, play house and various childrens games to use in the walnut grove which remains shady in the summer heat. Due to several steps entering the pool area and main lounge area, it is not convenient for disabled guests or wheelchair users.
Underfloor heating maintains the Gite at a perfect temperature throughout the chillier months - therefore available all year round.

Vacances au calme
Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour en famille. Le gite est spacieux et bien équipé, et nous avons bien profité de la grande piscine avec les grosses chaleurs de cet été. Nous remercions Sally, la propriétaire, pour nous avoir fait profiter de son potager et des oeufs de ses poules. De plus, malgré la proximité de sa maison, nous avons apprécié sa discrétion. Location à recommander.

Séjour en famille à Dolmayrac
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour. Le gîte est très agréable à vivre avec un grand séjour, une cuisine bien équipée, des chambres spacieuses avec des grands lits confortables. La piscine est tres bien avec une grande terrasse et une belle plancha barbecue. La compagnie des animaux est super : cochons, oies, moutons, lapin, poules, etc… les enfants profitent également d’un trampoline et d’une balancoire. Sally, la propriétaire des lieux, est très gentille et disponible. Merci pour votre chaleureux accueil. Nous reviendrons !

Havre de paix
Grange très bien rénovée et spacieuse. Cuisine très bien aménagée avec tout l’équipement pour concocter des petits plats avec en plus des produits frais du potager que Sally nous offre généreusement. La terrasse et la piscine sont très agréables. Pour les enfants le trampoline, la balançoire et les animaux de chez Sally sont une aubaine. Seul petit bémol, la literie de la chambre principale est assez mole, nous préférons les matelas bien ferme. Les marchés gourmands des environs permettent de passer des soirées conviviales avec de bon plats copieux. Si nous revenons dans la région nous retournerons chez Sally sans hésiter.

Beautiful gite in a fabulous setting with a very welcoming host. The house and pool were fabulous and we enjoyed the welcome pack of home grown fruit and veg. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need. Sally was fabulous and always on hand to help with anything you needed. Our daughter loved all the animals and really enjoyed Sally introducing her to the new born chicks that hatched whilst we were there. Had such a lovely week we were very sorry to leave.

About the host

Hosted by Sally Tamburro

Host profile image
We relocated as a family (with the dog, a hen, a rabbit and fish!) in May 2016 - looking for a more self sufficient lifestyle. We moved to the Hamlet of Dolmayrac and began our dream. We have renovated the barn for the past year , whilst working hard on the land, re-building of the well and increasing our animals! We can safely say we now have a small holding with various breeds of chickens, cockerels, rabbits, guinea pigs, ducks, geese, quail and 1 vietnamese pot bellied pigs called Dixie!
We have a very organic lifestyle, are vegetarian and working hard to be more and more self sufficient over the years. Seasonal fruits and vegetables are available for all guests.

Why they chose this property

The property has lots of space, potential, land, beautiful trees and charm. It is in a quiet hamlet but not too secluded as it is only 2 kms away from the nearest village having a supermarket, 3 bakeries, bank, launderette, school, market and various shops. It is a haven for children being very safe (we also have electric gates on the front and a long driveway before arriving at the small road). The children can camp out in the summer on the land as there is plenty of space for everyone.
The main property has been renovated previously but kept its beautiful french charm with its blue window shutters, original windows and log burners.

What makes this property unique

Surrounded by fields and valleys so ideal for walkers with many colour coded walks to take starting from 90mins to full day out walks. Bikes are available to wonder around the quiet lanes (2 kms to a takeaway pizza /cafe/bar in Dolmayrac) quiet, peaceful, amongst the carrying on of a small holding - ideal if you are an animal lover or would like to introduce your children to this way of life and collect your fresh eggs in the morning from the hens! The pool area is completely safe with a pool alarm, hedgerows which back on to our field and locked gates either side so that no one can get in or wonder off. The pool also has two entrances into the main living area of the Gite or if you go through one of the gates, you are in the walnut grove/trampoline area - or the other gate leads to the door into the kingsize bedrooms.
The curtains all have blackout liners and electric blankets for the winter aswell as underfloor heating - maintaining the heat at a constant temperature.
The kitchen has a reverse osmosis water filter - so no need to buy bottled water whilst you are here and a Nespresso coffee machine! There are daily markets around the area and 2 particularly good organic markets a week with plenty of seasonal fresh produce.
The land is ripe with various fruit trees: cherry, apple, pear, peach, fig aswell as grapes, walnuts and almonds.
