We just want to say that we’ve had the time of our lives here. The coziness of the cottage, the scent of the garden, the perfect temperature swimming pool, the beautiful towns but most of all the warm welcome. Thank you so much – it was exactly what we needed. It was ‘lekker’!

Thank you so much Clare & Francis for yet another fantastic two weeks of relaxation at ‘La Petite Maison’. We always love the pool but it was even more welcome on some hot days. We have enjoyed every minute – reading, playing cards, listening to the birds and the sound of silence – bliss!
Have tried several restaurants locally – le Fringalle which has a lovely riverside setting and not far to go from here. Also two superb meals at Le Moulin de Varen – far more expensive but defiinitely worth it.
We managed to walk the PR1 from Espinas which was a delight.
We return home relaxed and happy! Until the next time!

5 stars not 4 stars!
Once again we have had the best of times. Thank you so much to Clare and Francis for their kindness and hospitality.
As always the cottage and pool were perfect, and we loved how green everywhere was. We are leaving feeling re-charged and fully rested – and looking forward to our next visit.

Although we live in a quiet spot out in the sticks, we never really relax at home as there is always something that needs doing, so its always a treat to come here and just let go. We have had a lazy week in the middle of an otherwise busy holiday itinerary and are ever grateful to Clare & Francis for their care and attention to detail that makes this such a special getaway. A la prochaine!

It felt like a sort of homecoming. Clare and Francis as very friendly, helpful and charming hosts, the cosy cottage and wonderful (although sometimes very warm) weather. We very much enjoyed our stay, re-discovered new and old hiking paths and spent kilometres swimming in the lovely pool!

We have had a lovely stay despite the high temperatures and the cottage provided everything we needed to stay cool especially the pool. We felt very welcome.We enjoyed the kayak trip from St Antonin to Cazals and eating out at various restaurants. All restaurants mentioned are suitable for vegetarians.We are going to miss every little bit of this stay. Hope to see you again.

It is wonderful to be back again and the time has flown by. We really haven’t done much this time except enjoy the peace and tranquility of La Peite Maison, its exceptional facilities and wonderful pool. Just what we needed after a hectic few months back home. Until the next time ….thank you!

Celebrating our tenth visit and La Petite Maison was as wonderful as ever. We enjoyed the gite, the pool, the garden and the surrounding countryside.We swam every day, barbecued often and also enjoyed meals out at local restaurants. We explored various designated ‘Randonnes’from the book. Thank you Clare & Francis for providing total calm as always. You know we love it!

This was our first visit to La Petite Maison and we absolutely loved it! A short but sweet stay after a chateau wedding for some much needed R & R! Clare and Francis were incredibly welcoming.
Pool temp was fab after a 4 hr hike on PR22 in Saint Antonin and a 3 hr canoe down the gorge. Saw lots of herons, lizards, a snake and several other birds and butterflies.
Thanks so much for a great stay!

Two wonderful weeks at La Petite Maison. The weather was perfect, the pool temperature very pleasant. The peaceful and relaxed atmosphere at the cottage and its landscape, but even more the hospitality and warm friendship of Clare & Francis made this a perfect stay.

Although the weather was a bit indifferent, we had a great stay at La Petite Maison.
The gite is lovely and peaceful,very comfortable and equipped with all you could need….it was good to find details of local walks which we took advantage of.
The owners, Clare and Francis were very welcoming and helpful.
Would recommend this gite.
