Beautiful 18th century stone farmhouse with pool at the Mas d'Arjac, Aveyron

We had a fantastic time at Simon and Peter’s property. It’s a beautiful place and extremely quiet and comfortable. Simon and Peter are also very kind and accommodating hosts. If you love the peaceful countryside of the Aveyron then this is a superb place to stay.

Our holiday group comprised of 5 adults and 2 young children and we stayed in this wonderful property (in the Long House) for just under 2 weeks. Our communications with Simon (the owner) before arrival were great, with Simon giving us a very good idea of what to expect before we’d even left for France. The Long House is a gorgeous character property, well equipped and very tastefully furnished for a very comfortable stay. We enjoyed many evening dinners out on the terrace, trying out some of the local wines and cheeses (including some amazing tinned lentils, recommended by Simon!). The pool is stunning and a great place to unwind on sunny afternoons after a morning of sightseeing. The local area is beautiful with lots of medieval villages and towns to explore and Arjac is perfectly situated for this. One of our favourite villages, Najac, is only a short drive away and well worth a visit - the fortress is just so impressive. The market at Villefranche-de-Rouergue is also not to be missed! Simon and Peter were fantastic hosts and very accommodating; nothing was too much trouble. Simon was a wonderful source of local knowledge with great suggestions for exploring the area, including local play parks to keep our three-year old entertained. You simply couldn’t wish for better hosts! We had a brilliant time at Arjac and will certainly be looking to return to this beautiful property to carry on exploring this gorgeous part of France.

This is a comfortable, well-equipped house in a beautiful setting. Our host, Simon, was welcoming and really helpful with recommendations for activities in the local area. It is well placed for a wealth of outings all within a 1 hour drive of the the house. We also thoroughly enjoyed spending time at the house and going for walks in the immediate area as well as sitting by the picturesque, sun-soaked pool and eating meals in the outside dining area. Paradise! We can highly recommend a stay at Mas d'Arjac and hope to return.

Our visit to Arjac was especially enjoyable for many reasons, but it starts with the property itself. The renovated Long House where we stayed was tastefully and thoughtfully renovated. The descriptions of the kitchen, salon and bedrooms were as described and more than adequate for our use. We enjoyed gathering in the well-appointed kitchen and on the terrace just out the door. The owner provided us clear direction and service, but the onsite "hosts," Francoise and Bernhard, were really a joy, answering every question and being available when needed. Apart from the physical grounds, Arjac and the area around it, the Quercy, is one of the most charming pastoral areas we have enjoyed in France. The area is rich in medieval sites, easily reached by a quick car trip or even on bicycles. From the house, it is easy to visit some of the more notable cities and villages even as far away as the Lot. Arjac is an ideal base for exploring. We have already recommended the property to friends and family, but we've told them that they will have to get in the queue behind us as we are sure to return.

From the moment I contacted Simon, I knew we had found the perfect house. It is located in a beautiful part of France, away from the busy touristy places. Simon and Peter were perfect hosts and anticipating any of our needs, always available to make our stay lovely. We were 6 (two adults and 4 teenagers/young adults) and the house felt big. We spent our days visiting the most exquisite villages in the area. In the afternoon, we would come back to the house to "farniente" near the lovely pool. The house is comfortable and decorated with taste. Simon and Peter showed a lot of generosity towards our family and we will always be grateful to them. We highly recommend this rental!

The Long House is an amazing house to stay, we stayed with 2 families and we had room enough! The house is beautiful inside and out. Simon is the best host you ever find, he gives you tips and will make sure you have everything what you need. The area has a lot to offer and is just beautiful! Thank you for everything Simon! We love France!

We regularly holiday in France in villas and Arjac was one of the best in our experience. Located in total peace and tranquility, we were greeted genuinely enthusiastically by Simon the owner. Everything that has been done by way of renovation to the property and the grounds has been done sympathetically and beautifully. The Long House was immaculate and had everything we needed to for a young family of five. The surrounding area is stunning and the kids greatly enjoyed the acres of adventures to be had on the grounds. All in all, a fantastic holiday and one I would highly recommend.
