Detached Stone Barn

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at La Grange. Peter was a lovely host, charming with good knowledge of the local area. The house accommodated us well, with a well equipped large kitchen, ample crockery and kitchen implements, a large dining table and two fridges plus freezer. Plenty of room for the children to play. The pool was large and an excellent place to sunbathe, perfect for floating under the beautiful blue sky. Safe for the children with a self-closing gate, and the most beautiful views to the horizon. We had a really enjoyable stay in this lovely slice of heavenly France.

La Grange is the largest of Peter's three properties situated in the quiet hamlet of Sainte Foy, and whilst it is secluded, it is only a fairly short five to ten minute drive to the village of Prayssas (with small local supermarket) and a twenty minute drive to the town of Port-Sainte-Marie (larger Intermarche supermarket) with other larger towns a little further afield, so all in all, ideally located! The property's five bedrooms are roomy with comfortable beds (two double and three twins) with an electric fan in each and were ideal for the ten of us who were staying. There was also a sofa bed on the upstairs landing but we didn't use it. The living room and kitchen area are massive with a TV with UK free to air satellite channels (handy for the World Cup at the time!), and the kitchen utensils etc. were generally sufficient, although just a couple more larger saucepans and some matching lids would have been handy, and a few more serving spoons (we bought a couple of cheap ones and left them there). The kitchen had one under counter freezer and two fridges, and a very large table but we ate outside every day! There are plenty of bathrooms/toilets with two proper shower cubicles and another over a bath, and we always had plenty of hot water with a very reasonable water pressure. The whole property was clean and tastefully decorated. Outside, there was a lovely large covered table area with plenty of seating plus a circular metal barbecue (charcoal - not gas) that we used on a couple of occasions. The grounds are extensive with beautiful views, and we were lucky enough to have the other two properties not occupied so we had the whole area and use of the facilities to ourselves. The pool is kept clean and massive, and we made use of the larges boules court and table tennis table, and there is also a footballing and badminton area and large field to enjoy. There is also a wooded area near the house and we occasionally saw a deer wandering through it and there was also pleanty of birds around to watch and listen to. Peter's son Dan (and partner) live on site in a small house and clean the pool and mow the grass etc. and to be there is we needed anything or any local advice, but otherwise we didn't see much of them. We loved our stay here and would thoroughly recommend the property and the surrounding area for a holiday in this region of France, in which there is plenty to occupy yourself with.

We had a wunderful time at La Gange. It is a Beautiful house, nice and clean. The pool was a delight and the surrounding landscape is beautifull. Al you need for a lovely vacation.

A beautiful property in a stunning location. We thought it looked beautiful on the website, when we arrived it was if anything better! There was everything we needed in the kitchen, the bedroom and bathroom were fine, there was then a spacious sitting room upstairs though in practice we didn't make much use of that as we were blessed with delightful weather for most of our stay. The pool was a delight, with stunning views, and we had a nice private eating area outside which we used for most of our meals - when not out and about. Plenty of good things to visit in the area. Real value for money!

This is the perfect place to get away from it all and truly relax. La Grange is an ingenious stone barn conversion, both spacious and cozy at the same time. The kitchen has an envious amount of work surface, ideal for collaborative cooking. The massive dining table was perfect for long relaxing suppers. The bedrooms and bathrooms are all well furnished and felt well spaced out. Outside is another dining table where we enjoyed our breakfasts and lunches. The gardens and pool are magnificent, and the view is something that will stay with us forever.

This was our second time staying at La Grange and fourth time returning to the area and as always we were not disappointed and had a wonderful stay. The barn is beautiful - spacious clean and very well equipped, truly providing a home from home experience. The complex is beautifully situated with a nice pool overlooking stunning countryside and the location is peaceful yet close enough to the nearby hamlet of Prayssas which provides all necessary amenities. We hope to return soon.

This was a last minute end of season break, which was an excellent find. The Lot and Garonne is a well kept secret, reminding us strongly of Tuscany. The location is quiet and very relaxing. In the pool every day, not bad for October! All the surrounding towns and villages are a delight. Markets, ancient buildings and of course the 2 picturesque rivers. Not to mention the easy access to the various wine growing areas. The owner Peter, could not have been more helpful. Peter and his son Dan have worked hard to make the complex comfortable and welcoming. All the properties have been restored to a high standard and the work done by the local artisans is truly stunning. A wonderful experience for us and I'm sure fpr any one who has the opportunity to go to St Foy for their holiday!

we had a fantastic holiday in "La Grange" we had two weeks of pure sunshine which added to our first experience of staying in a villa rather than camping. The pool and the spectacular views more than met our expectations, La Grange is perfectly equipped for every family's needs and so comfortable, we didnt miss home once! Our children who are all teenagers were not bored once they spent every waking moment in the pool and if not there we went to the high ropes activity park or the river with our kayak. Prayssas is a lovely little village full of character and very friendly locals,I would definately recomend the Wed evening market there we had a lovely time with lovely food, remember to take a plate and your own cutlery and arrive early to get a seat this is a very popular event,we ate out once at La Bastide in Prayssas this was lovely we sat outside as it was a beautiful evening, food was great and the service very good it was very reasonably priced too. This is one of the most stress free relaxing holidays we have had in a longtime. Did I say we have also re-booked for next year? Can't wait.
