We had a lovely stay at The Stables. The house is beautifully decorated in a modern style while still retaining plenty of character and charm. There’s lots of garden space to play and relax in and the pool was great. Our hosts were friendly and helpful and being nearby meant they were always available when needed without ever feeling intrusive. A really enjoyable and relaxing place to stay.
We had wonderful 10 days at The Stables. The property itself is beautifully appointed, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. A fantastic outside space, a great pool and many hours were spent in the outside covered dining area, cool in the summer heat with beautiful views all around. We loved the peace & quiet, and the fantastic walks in the surrounding countryside. A short drive to Figeac town centre with many excellent restaurants, and a great base for exploring the delights of this region of France. The owner and manager were always helpful and responsive, and made sure we had a great holiday.
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave such a detailed and balanced review. We are delighted that you enjoyed the tranquillity of the setting, the gardens, the pool during the summer heat, and the comfort and quality of the house. It is especially pleasing to know that you found it to be a place of relaxation and well-being and that you would recommend it to others.
We also appreciate your constructive comments. The house is a traditional converted stable stone house , and while this gives it much of its character and helps keep it naturally cool during the hot summer months, it does mean that some of the bedrooms have smaller windows than might be found in a modern property. We do, however, appreciate that this may not suit everyone's preference.
We were sorry to read your comments regarding the initial smell and the cobwebs. As a traditional stone house set in the countryside, particularly during periods of very warm weather, the house can occasionally develop a slight musty aroma if it has been unoccupied for a short time before guests arrive. Likewise, despite regular housekeeping, the rural setting means that the occasional cobweb can appear remarkably quickly. Nevertheless, we have shared your comments with our housekeeping team to ensure the house continues to be presented to the highest standard.
We are also sorry that you experienced ants in one of the rear bedrooms. During periods of exceptional summer heat this can occasionally occur in rural propertie
We hadden hier een fantastische vakantie. Het huis is tiptop in orde, heel ruim en zeer goed uitgerust. Aan werkelijk alles is gedacht. Het overdekt terras vonden wij helemaal geweldig. Ook als het eens wat minder weer is kan je hier buiten zitten. Ondanks het feit dat we de afgelopen week wat pech hadden met het weer, hebben we maar enkele keren binnen gegeten.De omgeving is heerlijk rustig. Je hebt heel veel privacy en er passeren amper auto's.Ook de eigenaar is zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam.De stad Figeac is vlakbij (10 min rijden). Hier vind je alles wat je nodig hebt (bakker, supermarkt, restaurants,...) Ook aan uitstapjes geen gebrek. Op max. 1 uur rijden zijn er verschillende middeleeuwse dorpjes die je kan bezoeken (Rocamadour, Saint-cirque-lapopie,...), vlakbij kan je kanoën op de rivier en in de streek kan je prehistorische grotten bezoeken. Wij gingen met de kinderen ook naar het klimbos in Figeac ( 15 min met de auto)Kortom, zowel het huis als de omgeving zijn zeker 5 sterren waard!
We hebben 2 weken met ons gezin genoten van ons verblijf.
In de omgeving is veel te doen, leuke stadjes, wandelingen en kayakken op de Cele.
Met het warme weer was het zwembad heerlijk vertoeven en de schaduw op het terrein is een hele grote pre.
Rust en ruimte in een hele mooie omgeving.
The property is absolutely gorgeous and was everything we could have wanted in a holiday home. The interior and furnishings were of an excellent quality and felt very luxurious.
The location of the property is ideal for those who want to get away from it all, and although there are other properties nearby it never felt like our privacy was being invaded.
Erholsam , jedoch sehr schlechter Internetzugang,fiel bei jedem Tropfen Regen aus,
Es war auch niemand vor Ort um uns zu zu empfangen oder einzuweisen, die angegebene Telefonnummer war nicht erreichbar.
Zu wenig Hand und Küchentücher

In response to your review, we comment as follows:
In the instructions for the property sent to you it clearly states where access is and how to get into the house along with what there is to do in the area. It also provides for 4 telephone numbers to contact in case of emergency or answer any queries you may have. It essential to read these instructions and information carefully prior to arrival.
Each guest is provided with a bath towel, swimming towel, and one hand towel. In addition, there is a towel in the downstairs toilet and two kitchen towels. There is a washing machine provided in the utility room should any of these need cleaning during the 7 days. We must politely inform you that the Stables is not a hotel with hotel facilities.
The property is in rural France in the Cele valley, which is peaceful and quiet. However, internet can be disrupted due to the rural location and especially during storms. While you were there, two storms occurred, which shut down electricity and internet in the general area. When these happened you called Stephen who came over immediately to reset and ensure it was working. The area is being connected to fibre, and when we are advised of the service opportunities, we will hopefully have faster and more secure connectivity.
It was a shame that you found these issues to be of such a distraction. , perhaps next time, given your needs for ‘better service’ staying in a hotel would be a better option.
Near the very nice village of Figeac, which offers all commodities, we had a memorable stay at the "Stables" , a very peaceful house with his beautiful swimming-pool, so relaxing after after cultural and invigorating days! Thanks a lot for these great holidays
Thank you very much for your comments. This year the internet has been intermittent, unlike last year. Both Free and France Telecom have been trying to resolve the problem, not helped by the August holiday period and strong electrical storms during your stay.
Excellentes prestations pour 6 personnes. Amateurs de calme, nature, vous serez ravis. La piscine est au rendez-vous, entretenue par une personne excellente. Les "Stables" raviront les
The Stables is een zeer mooi opgeknapt landhuis in een rustige omgeving met veel privacy. Van alle gemakken voorzien en eigen zwembad. Kids blij met mooie grasvelden en Netflix op de tv! Ouders blij met fantastische omgeving, mooie dorpjes en goede service van de eigenaar die naast het huis woont.
