Mas Coumbel
Mas Coumbel a stone farmhouse dating back to 1844 which has been fully renovated to create a comfortable airy home
Mas Coumbel has a fabulous 12m salt pool and large and has been fully renovated to create a comfortable airy home.
The outside space:
- The pool, extensive gardens, outside kitchen and bathroom for summer living, covered dining terrace, two open terraces for morning and evening sun, meadow walk, shaded corners – offers something for everyone.
- The large12m x 6m private pool (open from late May until late September, weather dependent) is a uniform 1.5m deep.
- Enjoy a game of table tennis, badminton or boules, or relax in a hammock, find shade to read. And of course, there are plenty of opportunities for sun worshipping.
Inside, there are:
- En-suites to two large master bedrooms,
- Another large room with a double bed, two singles and a sofa, and
- A fourth bedroom (air conditioned) with a bed that can be a double or a single, and another single.
- The family bathroom has a bath as well as a shower and serves these two rooms well.
- The outdoor pool shower and loo provide extra easy living for all.
Internet access is good as is mobile phone coverage. We have English and French TV and a stereo with Airplay jack plug connection.
Short drives to the lovely medieval town of Caylus, the hilltop village of Puylaroque, the stunning medieval St Antonin Noble Val or to the hatmaking towns of Septfonds or Caussade (where the large Monday market is a must) make Mas Coumbel perfectly placed. 45 minutes will get you to Cahors (the historic Pont Valentre is spectacular.), Montauban and Villefranche de Rouergue – all well worth the visit, with fabulous markets, good dining and historic buildings.
Good restaurants, both rustic and fine dining, are within easy reach of the house too.
Kayaking on the Gorges D’Aveyron is fun (the easiest place to arrange this is St Antonin), and there are beautiful walks all around. Cycling also.
Cahors, Gaillac and Marcillac wine regions are close by, a lovely way to spend a morning or afternoon, with many vineyards offering tours and tastings.
Albi is a fascinating town – the Toulouse Lautrec museum is worth a visit and Albi has a huge Saturday market with several brocante stalls. Bastide villages abound – Monpezat-de-Quercy is a great example. But wherever you go, you don’t have to travel very far for amazing views, forgotten country lanes, quiet, shaded streets and the opportunity to sit in a bar and watch the world go by.
- Please note a supplement of £100 per extra person per week for groups more than 8 will be added to adjust for linen and cleaning.
- We have room to sleep 10 during high season (with two single beds being in the same room as the double bed). We can close off part of the house to suit two couples or a group of six (and adjust the price according to high or low season) so please ask if you are a smaller group of between 2-6 people.
