The Experience

You’ll feel at home the moment you walk in. Rooms are light and well proportioned with good artwork, pretty fabrics and warming rugs. A wood-burning stove, two big sofas will lull you on chilly days but as soon as the weather warms up you’ll be out on that gorgeous veranda and eating at a big wooden table. The views are stunning.

The kitchen is very well equipped, shelves are laden with crockery, the Lacanche stove will please cooks and there’s a cupboard with basics like oil and flour. You’re also left a baguette, croissants, a bottle of wine, cheese and pasta so enough to keep you going until you can get to the shops. Two charming view-filled bedrooms (one bigger than the other) are upstairs and share a bathroom with a bath but there’s also a shower room downstairs.

Splash in the pool, play ping-pong or simply laze on the veranda – more of an outdoor sitting room/kitchen with a built-in pizza oven and barbecue.

Reviews

This is a lovely, sun-worshipping village house in some of France's prettiest countryside. The artistic owner has furnished it lovingly with warm fabrics and comfy furniture, and the kitchen is a cook's dream as she was a professional cook. I would adore to stay here with my family, exploring the villages and markets and returning home to flop on the veranda or soak in the pool.

Location

The neighbourhood

Montcuq has great restaurants and a lively, bustling atmosphere – market day is Sunday, so you could stroll around then have lunch out. Saturday markets are at Montaigu-de-Quercy, a 10-minute drive or Cahors, 30 minutes. Here you can also visit the medieval bridge or take boat trips on the beautiful Lot river. Have a day kayaking on the Aveyron river from Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val, an hour's drive.

Local points of interest from Dorcas Barry

  • Local markets with in-season produce, lovely cafés and a bustling local community.
  • Beautiful forest walks in remote countryside with lots of wildlife.
  • Close to the Lot river for kayaking, river walks, pretty riverside towns. Boat trips in Cahors and river swimming.
  • Brocante and Vide Grenier every weekend in all of the local towns, a very French tradition and a great place to find unique treasures.
  • There are pretty bastide towns all around close by to visit. Medieval buildings, cobbled roads, weekly night markets, food, dancing, and music.
  • Toulouse is an hour and 15 minutes away, known as "La Ville Rose" (The Pink City) for its terracotta brick buildings, it is a vibrant city celebrated for its rich history, aerospace industry, and lively cultural scene.
