2 week holiday in Aveyron
Le Peyriere is wonderful property in a beautiful part of France. It is in a secluded location but near enough to local shops and there are loads of things to do and see within a short drive.The house had everything we needed and is spacious. There is a well-maintained pool and a games room. Kayaking on the Aveyron was a highlight but there are also amazing walks and beautiful villages all around. Chis the owner was very responsive and nothing was too much trouble. Property manager Fred was also very helpful and friendly. All in all, a great holiday and we would thoroughly recommend and would happily return.

Lovely week in France
Beautiful French farmhouse with everything you need for a great holiday, surrounded by lovely countryside, very private and peaceful, amazing pool and lots of very beautiful villages and French markets within easy reach. Chris was very easy to contact and the information sent and in the house was very good. We will hopefully be back again soon! Many thanks.

Lovely long weekend away
We spent a lovely few days at La Peyriere, very relaxing and we manage to combine some lovely evenings by the fire with some long walks and trips to some amazing markets nearby. A great place to come if you want to have some time away from the day to day.

Pleasant stay in the Averyon
Lovely peaceful 2 weeks spent at La Peyrière, meticulously maintained pool was the highlight. Although secluded (a plus for us) nice area to explore on foot, kayaking at nearby Najac, very friendly boulangerie at La Fouillade

Lovely stay this Autumn, great weather, sunny and warm in the day but cool enough for the wood burner at night. The house is really cosy and warm and we had some lovely days out to Cordes, Najac and Villefranche. Already booked again for next year!

Lovely French Farmhouse
We very much enjoyed staying at La Peyriere as we explored the many beaux villages in the surrounding area. Chris provided all the needed information on website and with guide and brochures provided at the house. Large well equipped farmhouse kitchen. We only used for making coffee and eating pastries each morning because we were on the road much of the time. We did love having the large kitchen table for spreading out maps and brochures as we planned the next day itinerary. Great shower on lower level and bathtub on upper floor. Wi-Fi was spotty but we were told that in advance given rural location. Amazing patisserie in La Fouillade and a great little pizza place across the street.

A fantastic stay in an idyllic part of France
From the pre-arrangements to the checkin process with Pierre (who is such a great host) we were made to feel so welcome. The house is so beautiful, incredibly traditional but with tasteful additions all over the house. The pool is great, cleaned everyday and everything you need is there so it made our stay incredibly relaxing. There are so many nice places to visit within an hour of the property, but if you also want to stay at the house, eat food from the local markets, relax by the pool and bbq at night that’s equally as good. We really cannot recommend the property and hosts and we definitely intend to go back.

Haven of tranquility
Beautiful space with loads of room and a wonderful setting. The house was cosy, in a slight valley surrounded by lovely countryside. The downstairs space is open plan with a wonderful fire that kept the house warm 24/7. Quiet in a rich rural setting it is the perfect getaway for some proposer down time. For the adventurous there are bike rides, horse riding and plenty of good runs .

Perfect sejour in the Aveyron countryside
Another visit to La Peyriere, Chris kindly provided access to the house for a long weekend. We were very lucky with the weather and had a marvellous 3 days of sunshine, we bathed in sun for lunch at St Antonin market and had some lovely walks in Bor et Bar. We would recommend taking a trip here outside of peak season, long evenings by the wood burner were so relaxing!

Winter holiday at La Peyriere
We (two families of 4, with children aged between 8 and 12) had a great Christmas holiday at La Peyriere. It’s a very comfortable farmhouse, with bedrooms upstairs and downstairs and a warm, inviting kitchen and living room in between. The house is old, with charm and quirks, but all the modern appliances and very well-equipped. The location was quiet and beautiful, with good walks and tres beaux villages nearby (Najac was a particular highlight). Finally, Chris the owner and Pierre and Huguette, the nearby farmers were excellent to deal with, charming, helpful and unobtrusive. Thoroughly recommended!

Perfect antidote to city life
We came to stay with friends of ours to escape city life back in the uk, it turned out to be exactly what we needed. The owners have done a brilliant job creating a sanctuary from which to enjoy the amazing food and wine. The house is great for two families, split into two floors, with lots of social space for games, swimming, TV or lounging in front of the fire. We will be back for sure!

We had a great stay for 12 days in La Peyriere. Chris answered all my questions promptly and provide a guide pack listing local towns/restaurant recommendations etc. House was great and we spent many happy hours by the pool when we weren’t exploring the local area. Great holiday and would definitely recommend to anyone!

La France Profounde
Our family of six spent a week at La Peyrière and felt as though we could not have had a more profoundly authentic experience of the French countryside. While we did day trips to Albi, Najac, Cordes Sur Ciel, and even Toulouse, we loved spending time poking around the lanes and tiny villages just outside the door. Pierre and Huguette were lovely and catered a fabulous local meal of wild boar stew. We became gourmands of the local cheese, Gaillac wine, and in-season peaches and apricots. The home is both snug and spacious and had everything we wanted, especially a feeling of warmth and ease. Simply lovely.

Amazing house in beautiful countryside
Perfect for the family. Beautifully decorated house in stunning french countryside. Lots to do nearby. I loved the cycling, walking, trips to the villages and towns (like Najac) and coming back to cocktails by the pool. My 4yo daughter loved the house and picking flowers in the meadow. Chris (and the brilliant Pierre next door) was very quick to reply to any queries. Can’t recommend strongly enough, look forward to going again.

A great find!
We enjoyed a sun filled stay in October 2018 (yes, sun in October!) and can't fault the property. A wonderful outdoor space with heated pool to enjoy the sun and a warm and cosy house thanks to the fantastic wood burner by night! I even got to enjoy some road cycling out on part of the smooth Tour De France route. Heaven!

Wonderful family holiday in an idyllic setting
Two weeks of peace, tranquility and the occasional ping pong and pool tournaments! The setting is wonderfully off the beaten track but it is only a short drive to local shops and bars. The pool was brilliant in the hot weather, the pool toys great fun and we could have stayed in there the whole time. Lots of places to visit nearby, recommend the Najac night market, canoeing and tree top rope walks. And for a longer day trip for engineering nerds you can visit the Millau viaduct. Pierre and his wife looked after us really well and Pierre is a great source of knowledge for the local area. The house was really comfy and the downstairs TV room lovely and cool and a great place for all the family to watch DVDs whilst escaping the heat wave. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking for 8 and the cooker, dishwasher and washing machine all worked well (we have stayed in other cottages were all three have been a challenge!)The local countryside is beautiful - and hilly - and a great opportunity to practice your running and cycling before a well earned meal watching the bats fly in and out of the barn. Thank you Chris and family for the welcome pack and for sharing your cottage with us, when we next need space for my whole family we'll be back!

A French property with character - Highly Recommended
Just returned from a fantastic couple of weeks at this property. If you are looking for break away from the rat race for a week or two, then La Peyriere will definitely fit the bill. We flew into Toulouse and La Peyriere is a steady drive up the motorway and then a few local roads… ending up in some small lanes. We arrived in the late evening which didn’t seem to phase the local contact Pierre, who visited us on the first night to make sure we knew what’s what. The description/reviews on the property are accurate - La Peyriere is a very traditional French farmhouse, in a quiet location, with the usual quirks of an older building – think squeaking floorboards, wooden furniture and rustic charm. Happy to see that the usual “guest information/rules” notices have been kept to an absolute minimum, so the property keeps it’s homely character. That said, there was a very professional welcome book (also supplied electronically) and plenty of leaflets available for those all important days out to the local attractions – Cordes-sur-Ciel is definitely worth a visit. Just be aware that this is a traditional farmhouse in a rural location, so the local wildlife will come and visit; on our first morning it was very pleasing to see a young deer walk through the grassed area and on into the woods, and we counted at least six geckos around the pool area alone. However, all the windows had integrated insect screens, so could be left open to get the air through without any worries of letting anything in – just a shame they weren’t on the doors too. We travelled as two related couples, so the single shower room on the lower level didn’t really cause us any issue but if you are travelling with people you do not know so well, then you may need to take this into account, especially as there are two flights of stairs to negotiate from the upstairs bedrooms – there’s a certain knack at keeping your modesty intact when wrapped only in a towel! (Caution: the water gets very hot very quickly, so be careful with younger children!) The pool was a very welcome and refreshing addition given the ambient temperature was well above 30C most of the time we were there and there was a good selection of inflatables for the younger (or young at heart) guests. Sunbeds were made of good quality wood (far superior to the usual white plastic IMHO) and the umbrellas plentiful. Shame it such a distant memory... and its only been a week!

Beautiful French property with lots of added style to make it really comfortable yet traditional
Would highly recommend especially to families as there’s lots to keep the children occupied: from the pool to the snooker table. There’s also a selection of games provided in the cupboard in the lounge- couldn’t have asked for more!! Great, speedy contact from the owner and very accommodating with requests. Pierre was a wealth of local knowledge when he visited to tend to the pool. Fantastic outdoor BBQ and amenities provided in the kitchen. Will definitely return!!

The perfect place for a break from it all, in peaceful, very rural and stunning surroundings
We had such a lovely break at La Peyriere... late October and it hit 28 degrees! So with the pool still in action, we were able to enjoy it! The house is perfect for a country break, well equipped and comfortable. Chris sent us a fantastic information pack before we arrived, and we had such a lovely welcome on arrival. The surrounding area is full of beautiful villages, delicious restaurants and great markets. Can imagine La Peyriere is great in all seasons... for us, it was pool by day, roaring fires by night. Wonderful!
