Manor East Wing. Aveyron-Cantal. Stunning Views Over River Lot, Pool, Sleeps 6.

Set in a tranquil rural location, in the mid reaches of the Lot valley, on the boarders of Aveyron & Cantal this historic manor house sits above the meandering waters of the beautiful river lot with panoramic views across the wooded valley.

Blanadet is a 3 floor 16th Century Manor House surrounded by gardens.
Vivian my wife and I live here full time and will always be able to help with any queries you have during your stay.
The guest East Wing is a single floor accommodation on the first floor entered privately through the rear courtyard.
It consists of 3 bedrooms all accessed off the external, covered balcony.
The lounge, kitchen and dining area is opposite, also accessed off the balcony.
The pictures show the 3 en suite rooms with showers.
The guests also have sole use of the rear courtyard below, there is table seating and a BBQ here.
As well as use of our private pool, which we also use from time to time.
The table and chairs at the end of the pool and the decked area with sun loungers are for the sole use of our guests, we keep ourselves to the end by the pool room.
Guests are welcome to use our fridge and the sink in the pool room.
We also encourage you to take a walk around any part of our gardens, my wife and I strive to keep it flourishing.
Please however note that there are outside stairs at Blanadet to reach both the pool and the accommodation, for this reason the property is not suitable for anyone with mobility impairments.
We ask that children are accompanied around the pool at all times.

The house is situated above the hamlet of Le port, 5 minutes drive from the village of Vieillevie 5 miles west of the medieval village of Entraygues in the Aveyron department. This area is the most beautiful stretch of the lot valley.

Unspoiled by tourism, the region offers the mountains, gorges and valleys of the southern tip of the Cantal and Aveyron departments we have miles of designated footpaths abundant with flowers and wildlife, historic medieval villages such as Conques and Estaing; fine chateaux and the attractive towns of Rodez and Aurillac.
The immediate area is a recognized center for walking and canoeing. Some walks lead direct from the house and Le port has its own canoe school . In summer fetes and spectacles are arranged locally.

Lovely place on top of Lot river
Enjoyed the relaxing place, with nicely restored rooms on top of old typical house, surrounded by all sorts of plants and trees. Very calm and refreshing, close to nature, including direct access to the river. Last but not least, owners are very kind and welcoming people.

2 weeks in July 2022. During a Heatwave
Malcolm and Vivian where very welcoming and helpful. The views are amazing and the location is very peaceful. The house is beautiful and quirky, although if you like to cook for yourselves, the kitchen is a little short on utensils. We improvised! We had a problem with the cooker and Malcolm had it replaced the next day! We would definitely stay again.

Un lieu magique!
Superbe gîte avec 3 grandes chambres spacieuses et plusieurs endroits possibles pour le déjeuner ou dîner. La piscine est agréable et très bien exposée. Les propriétaires sont sympathiques et discrets. Séjour très agréable malgré une literie qui mériterait d'être renouvelée.

Un petit coin de paradis en Cantal Sud/Aveyron Nord
Idéalement située au bord du Cantal et de l'Aveyron Nord, cette maison est confortable, agréable, surprenante dans le bon sens du terme. Atypique et bien pensée, le confort est au rendez-vous. La literie est confortable et soignée ++. Malcom et Vivian sont des hôtes charmants, adorables et bienveillants. Une belle expérience que nous partageons avec grand plaisir :)

Petit Havre de paix
Le logement est ouvert sur un patio extérieur plein de charme ! Bien qu'équipé de façon minimaliste, l' essentiel est là. Cette magnifique bâtisse surplombe un jardin exceptionnel... où une promenade quotidienne invite à la détente, au plaisir visuel et olfactif. Et tout cela, avec la gentillesse des propriétaires (très discrets), que je remercie encore ! Idéalement situé, de nombreuses activités sont possibles : canoë, visites de villages médiévaux, randonnées, escape game (idéal par temps de pluie), marchés, ... Bref, région superbe à visiter en séjournant dans une bâtisse typique rénovée avec des matériaux authentiques.

Charmante location avec de charmants hôtes (anglais) qui vivent là, que l’on croise souvent (ce qui fait qu’ils sont très réactifs à nos questions) mais qui savent rester très discrets. La localisation permet un accès direct à de belles balades dans la nature, à du canoë (à moins d’1 km) et à de nombreux sites touristiques du Cantal et de l’Aveyron (vallée du Lot).

Magnifique séjour
Séjour agréable avec une vue magnifique. Nous avons passé 2 semaines à Blanadet avec nos 2 enfants (16 et 13 ans). Endroit très calme. Malgré le contexte actuelle, tout s’est très bien passé. Malcolm et Vivian sont présents mais la propriété est tellement grande que chacun peut garder son intimité. La piscine est en commun mais Malcolm et Vivian ont pensé à tout afin de ne pas se croiser au bord de la piscine. Toutes les conditions sanitaires sont respectées et ne sont pas contraignantes.

Belle découverte
Belle bâtisse du 17ieme siècle avec piscine, un jardin très bien entretenu et une magnifique vue. Les chambres sont spacieuses et possèdent toutes une salle de bain. Les chambres ainsi que la pièce de séjour donne sur un patio. En été, cette configuration ne pose pas de problème. Les hôtes sont discrets et charmants. Nous avons trouvé pas d'activités et de visites dans les environs. Nous avons passé une agréable semaine dans ce logement.

The accomodation was great lots of space and idea
The property was as good as the last time we had stayed. Malcom and Viv made us very welcome and were very helpful without being intrusive. Turning up with an extra person to our party and a travel sick child they were great, even finding a teddy replacement while they washed the much loved toy while we settled into our accommodation. We had a lovely week making full use of the pool and the beautiful area around. Thank you once again.

A Month in the Manor...
We were lucky enough to spend 4 weeks in this perfectly tucked away medieval property. Not for the faint hearted, height wise, as you arrive on a single track road with a steep incline. Worth the worrying first drive up the 'hill' though, because the views are fabulous looking down over the river Lot. You really are in rural France at its best. Malcolm and Viv were wonderful hosts, helping out in any way they could but managing to keep a discreet distance when appropriate. The pool is shared and Malcolm maintains it daily. There were plenty of loungers and seating areas with table and chairs. The tiered garden/grounds are a delight and with footpaths from the door the area is great for walking. The entrance to the East Wing is behind their main entrance but it didn't concern us that we were in close proximity. The layout is extremely medieval with the huge, elegant bedrooms all entered via an outside covered balcony, which overlooked a delightful courtyard for our private use. The open plan kitchen living area was spotlessly clean, comfortable and nicely furnished. If I have any gripes to make then it was the lack of kitchen equipment for cooking but I managed to improvise... We found some excellent restaurants: Le Belvedere (*) in Bazouls, Bras (***) in Laguiole. Locally, Hotel de La Terrace in Villevie and Quai West in Entraygues. There are so many small towns and villages in the area that are beautiful, it is hard to choose favourites. If you like medieval, rural France, plus incredible views everywhere you go, you won't be disappointed. We loved our time here and would happily return.

Fantastic
A stunning place to stay, a charming house and a breath taking setting. We come every year with our children and always have a relaxing stay. Plenty of places to visit, some lovely restaurants and a very nice peaceful pool to relax around. The added bonus of mod cons with tv, wifi, washing machine and a bbq. The gardens are beautiful as are all of the rooms. We will continue to have our family holiday here, with a warm welcome from Malcom and Viv. Thank you for making us so welcome each year

A great place to stay for all the family.
The location was beautiful and very peaceful. The property was stunning, and lovely and cool even when the outside temperatures hit 38 degrees. The shower rooms which are not pictured are very modern and made our stay with a family of four girls a real luxury. The owners have put a lot of effort into making sure that your stay here is very comfortable and are on hand to help. We made good use of the pool which was very well maintained and had the beautiful back drop of the River Lot. This area has lots to offer all ages and our girls who range from 3 to 12 were equally impressed and entertained. From canoeing along the Lot, visiting Conques, sampling the various local produce at the farmers markets or just walking down to the donkeys we had a lovely holiday and will come again. Thank you Malcolm and Viv.

A lovely week's break with above the Lot.
We spent a week at Blanadet and really enjoyed it. The house is great and the garden is really pretty too. I particularly liked the pool-side bar-b-que and kitchen. Thanks to Malcom and Vivienne for a great holiday. Will, Laura, Laurence and Eliza.

Lovely peaceful setting, very relaxing
Beautiful old house, with lovely bedrooms and gardens. Stunning views from bedrooms across the Lot valley. We were well looked after by the owners who live in the same property - we asked for a meal to be cooked for us on our first evening and it was wonderful. This is a very quiet rural area which really is away from it all, about 10km from the nearest small town of Entraygues. For visitors with small children, swimming pool has a very loud alarm in case of accidental falling in. Interesting places to visit include Conques and there are decent restaurants and a small supermarket and market in Entraygues. Would stay again.

Sublime
An absolutely idyllic setting. If you want to step back in time yet have most mod cons I couldn't recommend this place enough. The house and area are simply stunning. The surrounding medieval villages and towns of Conques and Estaing are nearby, steeped in history and a must to see. Canoeing and kayaking down the Lott rapids might offer a more exciting alternative for the young at heart, situated at the bottom of the hill, a stones throw from the house. The proprietors Vivienne and Malcolm, who live in the main wing of the house, are the most welcoming and informative hosts. They recommended fantastic local restaurants, (a must the burger bar in Entragyues) and activities and were kind and helpful in every way. The pool is perfect (it was VERY hot) as Malcolm has somehow managed to get the balance right in it being crystal clean without taking a layer of your skin off. Would definitely recommend this beautiful retreat, wish I was still there.

A beautiful tranquil hideaway
First impressions were very good, with a lovely combination of large traditionally furnished bedrooms linked by a balcony overlooking the private courtyard and leading to the kitchen / diner and lounge area. The house is situated 1km up the valley side overlooking the river Lot and the location is truly spectacular. We were greeted by Malcolm and Vivienne and were helped to unload the car by their grandson Matt. This warm welcome extended throughout our stay and we we made to feel truly welcome. The area was new to us and exceeded our expectations with a proliferation of castles and medieval villages locally. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable holiday in a spectacular setting that we would highly recommend.

Excellent Holiday
A great family holiday with owners Malcolm and Vivienne. The property was very impressive and well kept - if anything the description doesn't do it justice. Our kids loved the pool which was very well looked after. The owners had lots of useful advice about the many local activities - Castles and canoeing were our favourites as well as cafe life. Bastille day was particularly impressive. Having never been to this part of France, we were delighted with how beautiful and unspoilt it was.

Peaceful, Friendly and Amazing Location
Fabulous pool, comfortable modern facilities within a historic old manor house. Only stayed one week - really needed at least two weeks to explore the area. Definitely need a car and some nerve for driving on the single lane access roads. Had a couple of meals with Malcolm, Vivenne and grandson Mark - felt part of the family. Lots of opportunity for adventurous walks - mainly uphill ! Also canoeing close by on the river Lot.

AMAZING BLANADET
Our family stay at Blanadet during the spring and summer holidays most years, it is very comfortable as we book three bedrooms. The property is picturesque nestled high in the valley above the river Lot, in the spring it can get quite chilly at night! But the central heating kicks in! The summer is lovely as you can use the pool to cool down if it gets too hot! We spend a lot of our visit spending time in the nearby villages and the canoe centre 100 metres below the Manoir. We have visited the medieval town of Conques and also Estaing. The owners are very friendly and will arrange for any supply's to be there for when you arrive. We also ha errors the cooked meals and were very pleased we also used the BBQ by the pool. Overall I would definately recommend Blanadet to anyone.
