Everything has been thought out to offer you the charm of the old and the comfort of the modern, all in the heart of no less than 4 hectares of moors and groves, on a listed and protected natural site (Natura 2000). With its welcoming, spacious and well-appointed living rooms and comfortable rooms, the gîte awaits you to spend a relaxing moment out of the ordinary.
You will be delighted to enjoy its perfectly equipped exteriors: terrace, private swimming pool, outdoor games... we want you to make the most of your stay!

NATURE and AUTHENTICITY: the owner offers you a stay off the beaten track
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was love at first sight for us when we discovered the Manoir and our lives were completely turned upside down.
We have totally restored this former farmhouse with two ambitions: to always feel the soul of the past thanks to the beautiful part that has been left to the stones and the exposed beams, and also to offer you modern comfort in beautiful living rooms allowing you to enjoy this beautiful estate serenely.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHARACTER and MODERNITY
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You will first be welcomed by a large living room with exposed stones and beams. Very bright, it offers a comfortable corner sofa and several armchairs to share moments of conviviality.
This large living room also allows you to enjoy the television to watch one of the films offered in the video library, listen to the radio or one of your favourite CDs, or even discover the mini-billiard table!
Now let yourself be carried away to the huge dining room which can accommodate 12 guests around its beautiful farm table. This living space is also to be shared with the children: a small table, small chairs and two high chairs are at their disposal to play by your side during your meals!
A space shared between the dining room and the kitchen. You will be able to prepare delicious meals while being with your friends or family. This particularly well-equipped kitchen (oven, microwave, dishwasher, freezer, crockery, utensils, food processor, coffee maker...) has several accesses to the outside, allowing you to stay in permanent connection with nature.
And for a real moment of conviviality, you will be able to enjoy a good fire together, after having walked through the surrounding countryside, looking for mushrooms for example... We also put at your disposal, free of charge, the firewood to prepare beautiful flames and share a magic moment near this magnificent fireplace!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BEDROOMS AND BATHROOMS: CALM AND COMFORT
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 rooms that can accommodate 12 adults and 2 babies, allowing everyone to enjoy real moments of rest in complete privacy.
On the ground floor, you will discover 3 rooms equipped with comfortable beds of beautiful dimensions (2 of 160x200 and one of 140x200) to allow you maximum rest after the afternoons spent hiking or in the swimming pool.
Their charm is further enhanced by direct access to the garden for each of them .
Upstairs, you will find two other beautifully appointed areas under the slopes. On the one hand, there is a large mezzanine with two single beds and on the other hand, a room, preferred by children, with 4 single beds. Simply decorated, they are also in permanent connection with nature thanks to the large openings to the outside.
We have 2 completely new bathrooms. The first bathroom has a large shower allowing you to relax after a day of discovering the region's riches. It is accessible directly from the ground floor bedrooms and is equipped with a toilet. A second independent WC is also available on the ground floor.
The second bathroom has a large bathtub, ideal for the little ones!

We have tried to think of everything so that you can enjoy a stay with all possible comfort: washing machine, ironing board and iron, hoover are at your disposal. Finally, unlimited internet access is available free of charge throughout your stay.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OUTDOOR: a stay of NATURE and DISCOVERY
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Each room of this house allows you to enjoy the greenery of the surrounding countryside and to easily get out and enjoy it.
The kitchen opens onto a beautiful and large terrace. Equipped with a large exotic wood table and comfortable chairs, this terrace also has a sideboard to prepare your summer buffets in the shade of its overhang. From here, you can enjoy the listed and protected natural site (Natura 2000) and its 4 hectares of moors and groves.

A magnificent private swimming pool of 5x9 metres protected by a veritable green setting, with deckchairs to bask in the sun, a barbecue, a table tennis table or table football, not to mention other games for children...

If you wish to get away from the estate, you will soon be amazed by the rich heritage of the surrounding area: Lot, Dordogne and Garonne. You will be able to visit the bastides, castles and museums of the region, but also surprising prehistoric sites. The vineyards, picturesque villages and local markets are also a real source of wonder for everyone. All of this just a few kilometres away.
Sports enthusiasts will have the opportunity to enjoy a wide range of activities, including tennis, golf, canoeing, kayaking and fishing. There are beautiful paths to discover by bike, on foot or on horseback, as well as numerous parks and leisure centres in the surrounding area.

A very spacious house with plenty of charm. The setting is wonderful, almost a clearing in the trees. Would highly recommend. Hosts were extremely helpful, generous and charming.

If you are looking for a place hidden in wonderful countryside, then this place is for you. It’s a tranquil retreat and a great base to explore the area. The hosts were attentive and helpful without being intrusive. In total there were 10 of us and the house was more than large enough with the pool being a bonus. A definite recommendation.
8 / 10Excellent·Sep 2016
We found Les Coustals spotlessly clean, super comfortable (really good beds & sofa) as well as characterful and charming - this was the most relaxing break we have had for years. The pool is just 100 yards from the house and is saline, not chlorine - unheated but really refreshing & very private. We loved the outside bbq, eating on the front porch, listening for owls & watching the sunset through the trees. Jean Claud was incredibly welcoming, kind and helpful; always around if we needed advice but very discreet (he lives in a beautiful larger house nearby). We had cool weather for 2 days and he kindly encouraged us to pick the quince and figs from his driveway to make jam, & to walk over his huge estate - just beautiful & unspoilt. Our dog loved having the freedom to roam too! If you want rest, relaxation and to connect with the french countryside, this is the perfect spot. Thank you Jean Claud; we hope to stay again.

We spent a lovely week at Coustals last week. We were 7 adults and 5 children (there are 3 double bedrooms and a mezzanine above the lounge, sleeping 2 in an open area and 4 in a bedroom leading off it - this is where the children mainly slept). The owner Jean Claude was very friendly and helpful and everything ran smoothly. The gite itself is lovely and spacious and has everything you need. Everything was also clean and tidy. It is off the beaten track and so is very private with no road noise whatsoever and no through traffic. The view from the veranda was spectacular, looking out over the wooded valley. The pool was bigger than expected and a very good size. We had lots of fun together during the week and everyone was very comfortable. The only slight problem we had was the electricity cutting out a couple of times during the night, but I think this is to be expected in such remote countryside. We think we isolated it to the dishwasher but maybe take a torch with you! Other than that it was the perfect place for a big family holiday and I hope we return in the future.
