About this property

Converted barn. Picturesque countryside.

If you are looking for a special rural escape in la France profonde Le Laurier is the perfect location. Set in the heart of the Diege valley in south west France surrounded by farms, rivers and woodland, the charming 19th century barn offers extremely comfortable accommodation for two people. On the first floor a large sitting room with deep comfortable sofas, an extensive library of books, DVDs and music CDs. The pretty mezzanine bedroom has a king size bed, with 100% cotton bedding and plenty of hanging space and shelving plus an air conditioning unit. On the ground floor there is a bright fully equipped kitchen and a shower room and toilet. The mature garden is full of secluded places to sit and read, or doze with sun loungers and a garden shower. Guests are invited to help themselves to produce from the organic potager and tiny orchard. After a day of discovery - there are many medieval towns and villages, vineyards, markets and a stunning river-laced valley to explore - stretch out on the wisteria-draped terrace and enjoy a pre-dinner drink.
There are bars and restaurants within a 15 minute drive.

Broadcast television is not available.

Fantastique séjour
Nous avons passé un séjour de rêve dans un lieu magique. Les hôtes Kathryn et John sont très sympathiques et accueillants avec une petite attention à l'arrivée. Nous étions au calme avec un bel espace privatif. La région est remarquable à tous niveaux.

Return visit
Last summer we returned to The Barn for our second visit. It was as perfect as the first time we went. We can only reiterate what we said in our previous review, it is first class. If you like comfort, space, style and seclusion in beautiful surroundings you would find it very hard to better Le Laurier. Kathryn and John have put immense thought and care into providing everything you could want for the perfect stay. For the duration of our holiday Le Laurier’s Barn and gardens felt like our own home rather than a holiday home. With wonderful places to go and visit, lovely walks to take from the gate or perfect peace and relaxation without going anywhere, The Barn is a real gem, Kathryn and John the perfect hosts. We have just booked our third holiday there, this time for two weeks.

A special place
We stayed in this lovely gite from 10-17 September 2016. The property is in a small hamlet situated in stunning countryside. The beautifully decorated and stylish accommodation is in a double-storied stone barn situated in a lovely garden and had everything we needed; it was so lovely you could have happily moved in and lived there for ever! The extremely well-stocked kitchen is on the ground floor, as is the bathroom. On the upper floor is a huge living room full of comfy sofas and a wall of books and dvds, and the bedroom is on a mezzanine floor which looks out over the roofs of the property and the surrounding countryside. There’s a pergola in the garden where you can eat your meals and have drinks in the shade, or you can use the chairs and swing hammock if you like to sit in the sun. It was a real pleasure for us to meet Kathryn and John who could not have been more helpful and friendly. We arrived at the end of a very long, hot day feeling extremely tired and frustrated after a long journey, to be greeted with tea and hot showers and a lovely light meal of homemade quiche and salad. We visited the market in the nearby small town of Villeneuve, we went to Villefranche-de-Rouergue which we pretty much had to ourselves (it was Monday and everything was closed). We also visited the beautiful village of Belcastel and went to Rodez in the afternoon. The books in the gite came into their own when it rained all day on Wednesday, though it didn’t stop us going for a local walk where the only person we met was a lady looking for her lost cat. We also had lunch in Figeac and visited the Champollion Museum and explored the old town. A week is not long enough to explore everything this area has to offer, we were extremely sad to leave, and we would definitely like to stay here again. Thank you Kathryn and John for a wonderful week, your warmth and friendliness make this a special place. Anne and Ken, Yorkshire
