La Petite Maison at Margot

In the peaceful haven ‘Margot’, we loved the lovely Petite Maison. Very quiet and comfortable, beautiful area and stunning views. Maintained our usual morning run and then a dip in the refreshing pool! 10k walk (PE3) slightly extended with a cliff edge walk and a ladder to climb down too! Loved the quaint French cobbled streets and decorative flora around. Thank you for your hospitality – highly recommended.

We enjoyed every minute of our stay at La Petite Maison. It was a perfect opportunity for making many wonderful hikes starting from the lovely cottage. Clare & Francis are so friendly and helpful – we surely will come back asap.

Thank you for providing such a beautiful, restful place to stay. We have had a really lovely time, being able to forget about work, read some good books and thoroughly relax. A few of our favourite things:- Penne – stunning place, St Antonin’s boulangerie – amazing bread and tarte au citron to die for, the pool – bliss. Couldn’t fault La Petite Maison, nor Clare & Francis. It would be lovely to come back and see more of this fascinating part of France, with this gem of a place as our base.

Having known and loved this little corner of France for many years, it is a treat to be able to come and stay in such comfort and tranquility at La Petite Maison, and visit all our old haunts. Thank you, Clare and Francis, for such a warm welcome, and we shall certainly be returning – try keeping us away!

A comfortable, well equipped and tranquil holiday home. The pool is superb and the views a delight. With the added pleasure of such friendly and welcoming hosts we had all that we needed for a memorable holiday. A marvellous base from which to explore all the wonderful surroundings. Thank you for making us so welcome.

We have had an absolutely wonderful time! La Petite Maison is an extremely relaxing place to holiday – the house and pool are gorgeous, the countryside beautiful and the views fabulous. We still can’t quite believe how fantastic it all was. Thank you to Clare & Francis for making us so welcome. We’ll be back! P.S. Recommend the tour of St Antonin

Another wonderful week at La Petite Maison. Tried several restaurants – Le Moulin de Varen (an excellent meal), we sat at the best table in ‘sardina’s’ with Clare & Francis, watching the world go by as the town buzzed with the night market. Also ate at Le Festin de Babette which always pleases. Our barbecue nights on the terrace at La Petite Maison were just as fun and we enjoyed watching the stars by the poolside. Went on several walks from the house so feeling fit and healthy to go home. Thank you.

We had a perfect holiday! La Petite Maison is a beautifully renovated cottge, with stunning views, a private garden to sit and relax in and a swimming pool with superb panoramic views of the countryside. There are so many places to visit in this area-villages and towns steeped in history, fabulous markets and amazing architecture.We went out every day but were very happy to return to La Petite Maison, to sit in the garden and relax- after a swim!Clare and Francis could not have been more welcoming ,friendly and helpful, but never intrusive.This is a haven , a wee gem!Perfect!

As I write the only sound to be heard is morning birdsong. We have enjoyed our week of peace and tranquility so much that we have already booked to return in July! Thank you so much Clare & Francis for providing such an outstanding cottage – from the welcome pack on the first day to drinks on the terrace on the last! Truly perfect!

Everything has been wonderful! La Petite Maison is enchanting – and we have thoroughly enjoyed being in the garden – a little oasis. The Toulouse-Lautrec exhibition is excellent and we have visited several of the fortified villages enjoying lovely scenery en route. The ‘inclusive pack’ was greatly appreciated and we wish Clare & Francis continued and well deserved success in the future.

Had a wonderful time. La Petite Maison is everything you could wish for – relaxing, beautiful views and very welcoming feeling. Clare & Francis have created a little gem and couldn’t have been more welcoming and helpful

We arrived at La Petite Maison, a lovely cottage in rural France. A heatwave in October – so we were grateful for the lovely pool. We have visited Albi, Cordes sur Ciel, St Antonin, Penne, Puycelsi and Najac and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
