Photos and Description of this St Medard d'Excideuil holiday barn
This delightful cottage is situated in a haven of greenery and superb gardens.
Summary:
On the edge of a very pretty hamlet, St Medard, deep in the country, this delightful cottage is situated in a haven of greenery and nestled in superb gardens where the cicadas sing.
Situated in the grounds of the owners own house, but apart from it, the cottage has its own separate entrance drive, is not overlooked and guests would be quite private. Ideally sleeping 4 guests with room for 2 further guests/children.
St Medard is a delightful hamlet where you will find a famous restaurant called Le Gindreau where one can eat on the terrace overlooking fantastic views ñ the food is exquisite, but expensive. A very perfect setting for that very special occasion.
The nearest village for general shopping is Catus which has a bustling, lively market every Tuesday and a large, pretty lake for boating and swimming. The medieval town of Cahors, situated on the river Lot, is only 15km away.
The owners are very happy to welcome you with a local aperitif and to tell you how to discover the beauties of the Lot valleys.
Accommodation:
From the separate entrance drive, the property is approached, via a staircase, to the front door which opens into:
• A comfortable lounge/dining area containing 3 sofas (2 of which can be used as 2 beds), dining table and four chairs, built in cupboard for clothes.
• Door to well equipped, fully fitted kitchen
From the dining area, there is a door leading to:
• Double bedded bedroom, built in cupboard with shelves
• En suite bathroom with bath, in-bath shower, wash basin and WC
From the lounge area, a door leads to:
• A very pleasant, sunny conservatory with table and chairs from which there is access to:
• An open-air fenced terrace area
On the lower ground floor of the cottage:
• A further double bedroom with twin beds
• Shower cubicle, wash-hand basin and W.C
Outside
• Delightful gardens offering sun and shade.
• The private swimming pool is a particular feature. Measuring 10.5m x 4.75m, it is situated on a higher level than the cottage itself. It has an amazing cover, which acts as a safety cover, but can be opened so that the pool is half roofed for cooler days and slides right back to make the pool completely open for those long, sunny days of summer. The cover is extremely simple and easy to use and the pool should be left covered and locked when no-one is swimming. The pool area is fenced and access gained through 2 gates, both of which are lockable, thus ensuring young children can run around the garden in safety.
