Set among fields and wooded hillsides between the river Lot and the smaller river Célé in the Parc Naturel des Causses, 'Les Pégouriés' offers comfortable accommodation and a tranquil setting for holidays in what remains one of the most unspoilt and fascinating areas of France. "Les Pégouriés” is situated up a short track off a minor road, undisturbed by immediate neighbours or traffic noise and surrounded by open fields, woods and hillsides. Originally an 18th century vigneron's house, it became a farm in the 19th century, later abandoned. We now live in the farmhouse, whilst the two large barns have been carefully converted and decorated to provide three self-catering gîtes with privacy, comfort and character. ach of our gîtes faces a different direction and is completely self-contained. All three are carpeted throughout with sisal matting or tiled, with rugs, and are simply decorated and well furnished. Each bathroom has a loo, shower and washbasin. Kitchen areas are all well-equipped, and each has a full-size cooker and fridge. Each gîte has a grassed or paved area immediately outside together with barbecue and garden furniture for outdoor eating, and there are pleasant garden areas close by for your use. Gite Three has been beautifully converted from the top storey of the smaller barn ­ with a solid floor added for insulation and privacy ­ this charming gîte has virtually all its original roof timbers intact. Velux windows make it very light and airy and give views of the surrounding countryside. With one double bedroom, this gîte is ideal for couples, but with the addition of a folding bed in the living area (free on request) will sleep three in comfort. A raised terrace and grassed area at the top of the sloping approach to the gîte, partially screened by trees, overlooks gardens and countryside and enjoys dawn to dusk sunshine. Portable gas and electric heaters combined with excellent roof insulation ensure year-round warmth. There is a washing machine for the shared use of guests, as well as as clotheslines, iron and ironing board. There are also bikes, games including croquet, badminton and table-tennis and a wide range of books, maps and information freely available.
