Rueyres House | Stunning, family-friendly farmhouse; large garden, safe private pool

5 Bedroom House in Rueyres

This carefully restored 17c farmhouse is a textbook example of the Quercynoix style - pigeonnier, covered bolet (balcony), souillarde, two inglenook fireplaces. Superbly situated in a hilltop hamlet, perched above an authentic working village, it's generous accommodation could suit a three-generation family or two big families.
Extensive grounds include a safe private 10m pool in its own attractive stone walled garden with two secure gates. There is also a large flat grassy area for games, a shady raised terrace for dining and a barbecue. There is extra seating in the shaded bolet.
Facilities; washing machine room, two shower rooms (three rooms with wcs and two with bidets), well equipped kitchen (dishwasher, microwave), wood burning stove. For those with young children, there is a bespoke wooden stair gate, two cots and a high chair.
The area boasts magnificent unspoilt scenery, fine regional and romanesque architecture and affordable gastronomy. The property was selected recently for the Alastair Sawday's 'Special Places to Stay in France' guide. There is a diverse range of attractions in the locality - a zoo, a monkey park, 'Reptiland' and an increasing number of low impact 'green tourism' activities, such as canoeing, which makes this an ideal base for families with children of all ages.
History: This majestic farmhouse dates from the late 17th century. Its ancient architectural features of pagoda-like roof, pigeonnier tower, bolet covered balcony and souillarde (a stone vaulted washing area) evoke an atmosphere of past centuries in this most beautiful and historic region of rural France. Standing high above a village in a hamlet of five dwellings, the house has been carefully restored over the three decades by skilled local masons and carpenters. It is described locally as a Maison Bourgeoise due to its grand appearance and size.
Location: The peaceful hilltop location affords lovely views to open countryside and across a charming village roofscape with church and chateau bellow. The extensive grounds include an enclosed private pool, mature trees, shady terraces and a large, flat paddock, ideal for garden games. This rambling farmhouse provides comfortable accommodation for large parties that might include several families.
Cuisine and activities: The region is renowned both for its gastronomy (spicy, full-bodied Cahors, confits, foie gras, fragrant cèpe wild mushrooms) and for offering cultural and leisure opportunities to suit all tastes. There are historic towns with regular markets, unspoilt villages, chateaux and museums, canoeing, biking and horse-riding together with numerous prehistoric caves to explore. There are also many cultural events, concerts and festivals in the region (jazz and classical music at Souillac, Assier, St Céré, Rocamadour) or guests can simply sample the cuisine at one of the excellent local restaurants. Alternatively the evening might be spent with a barbecue on the raised terrace overlooking the floodlit pool!

Summary: Such a charming place to stay. My family and 2 others (13 in total) had such a lovely time here. A well-stocked/equipped kitchen (inc sharp knives AND a knife sharpener!). Lots of outdoor space for games, eating and relaxing - with a lovely round table and rotating centre to eat at that's great for minimising the "can you pass me the..." questions! The pool is cooling but not cold and west-facing for the evening sun. And it's quiet, but for the sounds of church bell in the distance. Michael the owner was really communicative and helpful, lovely to deal with. We wanted for nothing, c'etait genial!

Summary: Beautiful house with many original features. Bedrooms well laid out for two couples and assorted children. Upstairs extremely hot during our first, heat-wave,,week but the pool came into its own for cooling off. Once- a week maintenance of the pool kept it pristine. Big living room excellent for games during hot afternoons, garden lovely morning and evening, particularly the eating area with parasol. The surrounding countryside offers treats for all ages, from river swimming to pre-historic cave-ipaintings. Easy reach of historic towns Figeac and St-Céré, and four-star Rocamadour. We loved it.

Summary: This property is ideal for a holidays with a large family or group of friends. The place is clean and well-maintained and is also very authentic. The house is very well equipped, probably just missing an internet connection (though we actually enjoyed in the end having no internet). The pool is safe and very beautiful. The region offers plenty of activities and attractions (Rocamadour, Gouffre de Padirac, Sarlat, la Dordogne, etc). The owner has been very kind and helpful and easy to communicate with. We recommend it to a friend or a relative.

Summary: We had a wonderful time in Maison Lafeuille. Great house, with many rooms, plenty of services. The swimming pool was perfect. Located in a small typical south french village. Not far from Lacapelle, which has restaurants, grocery, and a nice small market every morning. Highly recommanded !

Summary: Peace and tranquillity guaranteed, two excellent master bedrooms and room for many children - who have a safe enclosed garden for play and a lovely pool. Very good dinning out - canard the local speciality - a short drive away. If your party includes keen cooks (as ours did) then you will immediately realise that the excellently equipped kitchen belongs to people who care about cooking. Depending on your mood, and the weather, there are four eating areas. Birdwatchers need not leave the garden and walking and hiking start virtually at the front door. There is a piano, a good music system and very comfortable chairs for relaxing indoors, and plenty of chairs and shady spots for relaxing outdoors. History in abundance is a short drive in any direction with Rocmadour a quite breath taking jewel in any crown. There is boule in the garden, tennis in the next village and stunning canoeing on the Dordogne just a short drive north. If you need to stay in touch then bring your own dongle and there is excellent internet reception. There are books but no TV. Even the local French neighbours are absolutely charming. What else does a family holiday need?

Summary: The house itself has an appealingly solid, antique and rustic feel, balanced by a modern kitchen with several charming eating spaces (outdoors, under a roof, and indoors) and a beautiful pool with a lovely patio for sitting and reading and looking out at the trees. The house's location made it an excellent base for exploring charming old towns and cities like Figeac, Rocamadour, and Cahors by car, and staring out at the marvelous pastoral landscapes of Lot and Dordogne. But on days with pleasant weather, we most enjoyed setting out walking one way or another right from the house on the nearby GR 10 footpath, which winds over meadows and through woods before dipping into small villages. The fields, orchards, woods, and meadows surrounding the house are lively with birds, and over a few days we spotted over 30 species of birds on our walks from the house. We loved walking at all times of day, on the paths and down the quiet roads nearby, with marvelously pastoral views across rolling hills. Similarly, we loved hiring canoes on the Dordogne, not far away, to paddle through forest and gaze up at cliffs and quiet villages among them. I would be eager to return to the house for more relaxing and walking.

Summary: Just returned from a blissful week in the tranquillity of Maison Lafeuille. It was great to stay in a 17th Century farmhouse - typical of the area, traditionally restored, very well equipped, and ideal for a large family. It was even better than described. For those requiring total relaxation, the garden and swimming pool provide it. For the more energetic - cycles are available at the house, and canoes on the Dordogne. However, for those wishing to enjoy the marvellous countryside between the Dordogne to the North and the Lot to the South, Rueyres is a perfect centre. In particular, the Grottes at Padirac are fascinating and well worth a visit. Those interested in History, will be able to visit numerous Châteaux and ancient towns, such as Rocamadour and St. Céré. Despite the adverse rate of the Euro to Sterling, it is still possible to find a four course meal with wine for 11 Euros, and how better than to relax after a day of sight-seeing than with a glass of Cahors in one’s hand ! All-in-all, we had a wonderful time - and it was reassuring to know that if we had a problem (which we didn’t) we were able to contact the owners.
