Lovely gite in superb location with fabulous pool
We had a wonderful week here at Ian and Lesley's place. It is very secluded and peaceful, yet close to lots of interesting towns, villages and sites. The pool is excellent and the whole place with its lovely garden is a really relaxing environment. Ian and Lesley were always on hand for any tips/help, but also very respectful of their guests' space. All in all, this is the perfect location for exploring the beautiful Lot region. We would love to come back!

Quiet, peaceful, relaxing
We had a wonderful two weeks at La Pastoral. Location was peaceful and quiet in lovely rural setting. The gite had everything we needed and was well equipped. Kitchen was well laid out and had everything required. Comfortable lounge area with TV set up with Skybox so UK tv accessible so it was nice to still watch news and general entertainment. Bedroom comfortable with air conditioning unit. Large garden with outdoor seating and BBQ. Wonderful swimming pool, great for cooling off after days exploring. We enjoyed lots of great days out, gite was ideally positioned for exploring the Lot and Dordogne. Plenty of local markets and amazing restaurants. Hosts Ian and Lesley gave us some great suggestions of places to visit and supplied us with a map to get us started in the area. We also enjoyed some very welcome visits from Charlie their retriever . Shops close by, 10min drive to Labastide Murat. Many thanks to our hosts Ian and Lesley

Quiétude et repos avec son inséparable chien.
Gîte au calme avec espace clos, idéal pour notre compagnon à 4 pattes. Accueil agréable et sympathique de Lesley, Emma (jeune femelle Labrador de 1 an) et Ian. Un véritable lieu de détente et de repos au sein d'un hameau, où le calme et la quiétude se profite au coin de la piscine chauffée, sans être éloigné des sites de visites de la région.

Tres bon gîte
Lesley et Ian, les proprietaires du gîte sont des personnes bienveillantes, accueillantes et discretes. Le gîte est confortable, calme, au mileu d'une grande propriété et clôturé ce qui est ideal pour un chien. La region est belle pas mal d'escapades a faire avec saint cirq lapopie a voir absolument.

Super cottage au calme
Nous avons passé un super séjour dans ce charmant cottage, très bien équipé et situé dans le calme de la campagne lotoise. Il est idéalement situé car à équidistance de tous les sites à visiter dans le Lot. Ian et Lesley sont discrets, adorables et très accueillants. Nous et nos 2 chiens avons passé de très bonnes vacances.

rustige omgeving
Dit huisje ligt in een grote parkachtige tuin met vlak bij een mooi groot zwembad. Voor 2 personen is het prima, in de woonkamer staat een slaapbank dus een derde persoon kan er ook terecht. De gastheer en vrouw zijn zeer behulpzaam en vriendelijk. Als je een vakantie wilt in een rustige landelijke omgeving met diverse bezienswaardigheden op ongeveer een half uur afstand rijden dan ben je hier aan het juiste adres. Vanuit het vakantiehuis kun je heerlijke wandelingen maken in de omgeving tussen weilanden, bossen, schapen en koeien.

Für eine erholsame Zeit, mit der Möglichkeit für viele schöne Ausflüge ideal !!!
Die Gastgeber geben das Gefühl, praktisch allein auf dem Grundstück zu sein. Haben neben vielen wunderschönen Ausflügen mit dem Auto (Cahors, Rocamandur etc.) auch schöne Stunden am großen und gut geheizten Pool verbracht. Da das Schlafzimmer im 1. Stock über eine steile Treppe zu erreichen ist, sollte man allerdings diebezüglich über die notwendige Mobilität verfügen.

Accueil très agréable avec les propriétaires et belle propriété. Néanmoins, il vaut mieux ne pas être les premiers de la saison (tous les problèmes du fait que le logement a été fermé tout l'hiver et pas chauffé). Le logement très petit .....trop petit surtout quand on n'a pas du beau temps. La propreté laisse à désirer. Notre chien a passé de bonnes vacances. Merci Charly (chien des propriétaires)

Rien que du bonheur
Nous avons passé 2 semaines de rêve. L’accueil de Ian et Lesley est très chaleureux, la maison petite mais on s'y sent très bien, le jardin est merveilleux et la grande piscine chauffée ... du bonheur quand on revient d'une journée de visite et/ou de randonnée ! Sans oublier Louis le chat et surtout Charlie le labrador, véritable figure des lieux. Nous reviendrons, c'est certain. Sylvie et Xavier
