CAHORS - Family Manor

The House was truly magnificent. The Pool, Gardens, the vicinity close to Douelle couldn't have been better. Monsieur Boone was so very helpful with our questions about the area around the house.however there are 2 things that prevented our stay being an 8 out of 10 rather than a 10out of 10.1, there was no air conditioning the VRBO website clearly shows that the property had air-conditioning. we chose the property because of this we had a pregnant relative staying who needed this. Monsieur Boone explained that the breadth of the walls and the old nature of the property kept the house naturally cool however this was not the case upstairs.The property could easily improve by getting better quality BBQ's and there were insufficient sun beds round the pool there were only 6.with better BBQ's and more sun Loungers and of course the air conditioning unit La Moulinat would easily gain a 10 out of 10

This property is full of character and makes for an unforgettable holiday. The pool is larger than average and, in June, already warm. the kitchen is huge and extremely well-equipped, and we spent most time there and outside. The dining room and salon are of country-mansion proportions, and it is easy to pretend you are lord of the manor. Duelle itself has a very useful shop, open on Sundays which is unusual, and the auberge next door was very welcoming and coped well with a party of 10 including babies, toddlers and young children. being able to stroll there through the vineyard was a real plus.Finally, Lionel was extremely helpful with local advice, and did all he could to make sure we were happy with the accommodation.

We were a group of 8 adults and 6 children all under 7 and we had a holiday to remember that met all our needs. The house is beautiful and very spacious and the garden and pool were great in the hot, sunny weather we were lucky to have. The house is set in lovely countryside with lots of walks and fresh bread and groceries just a short walk through the vineyards in Douelle. Would definitely recommend!

We stayed for two weeks with friends. M Boone was always very helpful. The house seems good value for money to me, and there is plenty to do in the region. We walked regularly to Douelle for meals, and cycled in the area. The kitchen is a fabulous sunny space for meals, and the local wine was excellent. Not every room has its own bathroom, so you need to plan sleeping arrangements, but there is lots of space, good wifi, and for a few days we comfortably accomodated 12 people. If you have more, there is a separate apartment available. A great holiday!
