Family holiday Lauzun
Stunning property with excelleny facilities. Tom & Maggie were excellent with communication and any minor problems were dealt with immediately. The pool was cleaned twice a week early morning with no disturbance to the guests. I can thoroughly recommend this venue with its stunning countryside, towns and villages. If you value your waistline stay away from the patisserie in Lauzun!!
Beautiful villa
The lovely villa had everything you would want for a family holiday our party ranged from 18months to 70 years.
Perfect for a relaxing holiday
Beautiful house met our needs perfectly - plenty of room to absorb 3 families with teenagers for a week, and with no neighbours to disturb or be disturbed by. We ate every meal at the outside table which was always beautifully cool and welcoming. Well-equipped bedrooms each with an electric fan (which was much needed - although we couldn't find one for the downstairs bedroom). Difficult to fault, and Tom's recommendation of canoeing at Beynac was much enjoyed by all.
Great size house for large family holiday.
Large house for large family, 7 adults and 6 children. All rooms were a good size, especially the kitchen diner and living room. The garden was large with badminton nets which we all took turns at playing when we weren't lounging by the swimming pool. The house was situated in a very quiet area, not many other houses nearby. The nearest town, Lauzun, was a very short drive away with nice park. Street market was worth visiting as were the markets in other near and far towns and villages. The owners Tom and Maggie were very polite and helpful when making our booking and went above and beyond to help solve a problem with lost property. I can certainly recommend this house for a family holiday and will definitely return in the next couple of years.
Fantastic location, very peaceful, & relaxing
Faugereau was an impressive house that suited our needs exactly. We used it as a retirement party with family and friends staying over a month. Tom and Maggie were great hosts. The house offered good size bedrooms and bathrooms in good decorative order. The pool and garden gave us all the outside entertainment space we needed. The BBQ was certainly taken advantage of. A great stay and would not hesitate to stay again.

About Tom Gawthrop
Tom and Maggie sold their herd of Large white pigs and their smallholding and moved to France in 1990 with their two sons, three year old Ben and 10 month old Matt. Wherever have the years gone. Restoring property and winters skiing in the Pyrenees, that's where. To many of our friends and clients, Faugereau has become their very own special corner of France. Why not make it yours too?
Tom Gawthrop purchased this Farmhouse in 1999
Why Tom Gawthrop chose Lauzun
We bought Faugereau in 1999 and finished restoring it in 2008. The house has everything you could wish for, because we built it for our retirement. A beautiful stone fireplace that I built myself in the sitting room; and a kitchen big enough to swing a tiger round in, when she'll let me. Of course as soon as it was finished, we promptly changed our plans, and built a new house in the next parish. So come and reap the benifits and spend a relaxing holiday in a house that was designed, to be lived in as a proper home, not as a cheap holiday let like so many other properties. Outside, there is peace and quiet on the huge covered terrace, loads of flat lawn to play games on,and a sunny pool with shady trees to sit under, or drag your sunbeds to if it gets too hot on the paving round the pool.
