About this house rental
Situated on a quiet lane, The Old Barn has 4000m² of mature gardens with views of surrounding countryside. From here you can enjoy a walk to the picturesque medieval village of Saint Jean de Cole – one of France’s Plus Beaux Villages, with its restaurants, shops, Chateau, historic church and Tourist information office.
Opening the French doors takes you to another world. Fresh air and birdsong, flowers and trees wafting in the breeze – take in the view over the gardens from the patio, relax and sip a glass of wine in the shade of the parasol, light up a barbecue and dine “en plein air”.
When it’s time for bed, upstairs there are two large bedrooms to welcome you to slumber - a double bedroom with shower room and views over the garden plus a twin bedroom with bathroom next door which has a shower over the bath.
The light and spacious ground floor open plan area provides the lounge, dining and kitchen areas with modern appliances and comfortable furnishing sitting alongside typical French décor and ornaments . The dressers are stocked with all the equipment and utensils you may need. There is private gated parking. Inside, the thick stone walls keep the cottage cool in those hot summer months.
Oak beams, exposed stone walls and chestnut wood floors are featured in the bedrooms which have antique wardrobes and dressing tables. The Barn has a new flat screen TV with UK free-view and French channels and Wi-Fi. It has its own entrance and outside seating area to the rear.
Our house and The Old Barn are separated by a section of the original Barn and outside, a hedge and garden gate, allowing privacy from the other section of the property. Each has its own access to the lower garden.
Wandering around the garden, you may want to pick some fruit from the trees in the orchard or just sit on the lower garden terrace with a glass of your favourite tipple and listen to the fish jumping in the lake. Watch out for the Sammy the red squirrel, the deer, coypu and myriad of different birds that pass by the garden from time to time. Enjoy ! We will be here to welcome you and will always be close by if needed.

The gite is in a rural setting with a lovely stroll to the attractive nearby village. The well maintained gardens are sublime with plenty of seating to enjoy the sights and sounds of the countryside. Walks from the doorstep and plenty to see and do in the nearby area.
The hosts are welcoming and very helpful.
We would love to go back to stay in this beautiful gite which had everything we needed for a fabulous week.

Well furnished, roomy and comfortable. The grounds and outdoor patio are wonderful. The village was a bit quiet this time of year but we enjoyed long walks and randonees in the countryside. The owners were a lovely couple, friendly while providing privacy.

An out of this world location the property and the village of Saint Jean de Cole. Our hosts were brilliant easy going lovely people the facility could not have been better. Also the property is situated in easy distance of many other beautiful and historic towns with a fantastic recreational lake close by which cost nothing ether to park of use the facility. Indeed in all the holiday in France never paid for parking at all.

I cannot say enough about our stay here. First of all, John & Carolyn are the most delightful people! They met us at the property and walked us through everything. We stayed in the Farmhouse and of course, it was even more charming than the pictures show (if that is possible). The property has a HUGE garden out back that is so well taken care of. There are shaded areas and sunny areas to choose from. I had my eye on the hammock but ended up loving the sectional under the covered patio. It was so lovely to wake up in the morning and sit outside with nothing but the sounds of the occasional bird and Mr. Hoot Owl. So peaceful and relaxing which is exactly what I was going for! The house is beautifully decorated and has a real relaxing vibe. The beds were very comfortable; I slept better than I had in a long time. You couldn't want for anything! John & Carolyn really have thought of everything. I would selfishly love to keep this gem to myself but it truly was one of the most delightful stays I've had and must be shared. I hope I can come back in the near future.Annette P.
