Holiday Rental Gite with Swimming Pool in Monclar, Lot-Et-Garonne - La Guiraude Reviews

We arrived in the middle of a week's bad weather and had spent the previous 3 days feeling a little cold and damp (inadequate clothing for the rare bad weather!). We got to the gite and Peter provided us with lots of kindling, told us to help ourselves to wood and we lit the stove. How wonderful to feel warm and cosy. This is probably an odd start to a review, but we had spent the previous week in a house which was not suitable for the chilly weather and having a fire made us very happy. The gite itself is really very nice. Perfectly equipped and very comfortable and renovated to a high spec. When the weather picked up we used the pool which is a perfect size. Helen and Peter did not intrude. They came to see us after our first night to see if everything was OK and then we just saw them in passing, and when we went to borrow a memory stick to watch some films. We went walking when the weather was cooler and went to various local towns. We relaxed a lot in the last 4 days when the weather was good and it is a perfect gite to relax in. We aim to go back in early summer for a week doing absolutely nothing. Cath and Clare.

We have just returned from a weeks stay in this fantastically appointed Gite.

The owners Helen and Peter live in their property which is sited next to the Gite. They both made our family feel really welcome, gave us great advice upon arrival about the local area and the amenities which we needed. For us it was great to have two friendly faces to say hello to throughout the week, equally if it is privacy you are after then both Helen and Peter are the sole of discretion and you wouldn't notice them.

The Gite itself is brilliant, an upside down layout means the bedrooms are located on the ground floor, this means they remain nice a cool day and night. The upstairs living area is well laid out with direct access to the pool area. This worked perfectly for us as we could see our young children at all times.

The Gite has absolutely you will need for your home from home stay, the kitchen is well stocked with all utensils and essentials. Everything was clean and very well presented. In addition Helen has a great library of DVD's which will cater for everyone including loads of children's films.

The pool is for your exclusive use throughout your stay. The pool, surrounding pool area and the gardens are all immaculately maintained, there is ample space for young children to play in a safe and secure environment within the fenced gardens.

We spent a fun family week relaxing within the Gite and using the pool, only leaving to go to the supermarket.

We would highly recommend a stay at this Gite and will hopefully return at another point in time.

The house was spotless and well maintained, the garden lovely, Helen and Peter made us very welcome and we barely new they were there. The area was very peaceful and the surrounding villages beautiful, there were many colourful markets particularly in Isseagac on sunday morning and Monpazier is lovely. Listen out for the hoop hoop bird you may not see it though. The weather was wonderful we left with great suntans and very rested, we would recommend to others and hope to return sometime
