Restored french rural country cottage with heated pool and peaceful grounds

Le Petit Soyc is an idyllic private escape from every day life, ideal for families or parties of up to ten. As the cottage is surrounded by fields and woodland, the large (10m x 5m) fenced, and optionally heated, pool and multiple terraces are very private and capture the sun day long. Inside, the 18th century stone cottage has been sympathetically converted and updated to create five bedrooms (3 double ensuite and 2 twins sharing a bathroom). The open-plan living area has comfortable leather sofas in two seating areas around the original fireplace, and a well equipped 49 sq m kitchen opening on to a large kitchen terrace overlooking the pool. Outside there is plenty of space for children to run around and the pool is fenced for child safety. Some games are provided, as well as DVD player and bluetooth music speaker. There is no Wifi/Internet at the property although your mobile 3G and 4G should enable some internet connectivity.

Located amongst peaceful rolling hills, it is only 60 miles from Toulouse airport, or one days drive from the channel ports of Caen or St Malo. A car is required due to the rural location, however the historic cities of Cahors and Montauban are both within half an hours drive, with many smaller historic towns and bastides closer. For the mildly energetic, apart from the large (10m x 5m) secluded, fenced, illuminated and optionally heated swimming pool, Croquet and Boules sets are provided as well as an outdoor Table Tennis (Ping-Pong) table and a couple of mountain bikes for the local lanes. Golf and Tennis are available nearby. For the less energetic, sunloungers, backgammon, playing cards and the barbecue will suffice, with shaded areas available outside as well as lots of sun terrace.
