Guest Reviews Of Lacepede

Mrs T J Yates

We were both very stressed and badly needed to chill out and totally relax for a while, and Lacepede proved ideal! The modern bungalow was so well equipped (better than at home!) that staying in was a pleasure. But with all the information provided exploring local restaurants and market towns was easy as well. I have lovely memories of a really relaxing stay, spending mornings on delightful walks or at local markets, and afternoons reading and dozing (and occasionally swimming!) by the pool. We will certainly return - please!!

We had a fantastic holiday at Lacepede. The house is clean, comfortable, peaceful and very, very well equipped. View from the terrace over the lovely swimming pool onto open fields; the pool is also very clean and kept well maintained. Lacepede is a wonderful holiday home; the owners are a pleasure to deal with and extremely helpful (e.g. drinks in the fridge and fresh bread and cheese provided for our arrival). 

Well situated, being a short drive from local market towns and 30-40 minutes from the large town of Cahors. The area is scattered with vineyards (open for tours and tasting) and there are many other attractions (castles, museums, canoeing, etc.) within easy reach should you wish to drag yourselves away from the poolside.

All in all, we thoroughly recommend this property for a good slice of stress-free relaxation.

 A wonderful stress free week spent at Lacepede. The bungalow was clean and very well equipped. The pool was lovely and well maintained.The amount of information provided by the owners on arrival was second to none. The children loved the outdoor space for football matches badminton and of course swimming in the pool. When it became too hot, English / Scottish TV and a range of board games and DVD's were enjoyed. Because the children were so happy so were we. Finally the communication with the owners was fantastic from first point of contact at the enquiry stage to the evaluation of the holiday.I would not hesitate to recommend a stay at Lacepede.

A lovely, well presented, very clean, well organised and fully equipped holiday ' home from home'.

The house is easy to settle in to. The owners have left all the possible information you could require. There are also very helpful caretakers a phone call away. The pool is delightful and kept in tip top condition. The house has a lovely garden area great, for 3 boys to run about and play football! - ! (fully fenced house and garden). There is a DVD player, board games, pool toys and books to keep both adults and children entertained. This is a fantastic area to visit. with lots to see and do.

This is the second time we have visited the property and would highly recommend it. From expressing an  initial interest in the property to the end of the holiday the communication with the owners is second to none.

This is an Immaculate well equipped villa with fabulous swimming pool, set in a very peaceful and relaxing location. We thoroughly enjoyed our one week stay here. Plenty of information and maps for nearby activities and sightseeing. An unexpected bottle of wine and a few groceries on our arrival was a lovely touch and made us feel special. Thanks for such a lovely holiday.

What a brilliant spot: Close to the Lot valley with its villages, markets, river, eating & vineyards,Always something to do, if you want to pull yourselves away from the poolside & your books. A comfortable well equipped house with no quirks and a cycle away in the morning to the nearest village shop

Our stay at Lacepede was exceptional from the moment we walked through the door.  The whole house was clean, fresh and very well presented, with more than enough supplies throughout the house.

The pool was an absolute joy for both the children and ourselves, and very much appreciated to cool down in as we were very fortunate as the temperature reached 37 plus degrees every day.

Although a car is essential for the rural location, there are some beautiful villages and towns not too far away.

We will be back again!!

Clean, exceptionally well equipped and in good condition making it a home from home. The pool and covered patio proved to be essential in the hot temperatures and were also in good condition and well maintained. The owners were extremely helpful in providing information both before our arrival and the information at the gite was extensive. The availability of a caretaker nearby with the occasional visit inspired confidence that should there be an issue it could and would be dealt with promptly. The gite is well located and we would not hesitate to recommend this gite for a family holiday in the Lot Region.

We were looking for flexible family accommodation with a pool in a rural location near to villages of interest. We spent a lot of time researching where to go and chose Lacepede because it had a pool and seemed really well equipped and because it's situated in such a lovely area of France. We were not disappointed! What a gorgeous, clean, well equipped, spacious accommodation! A beautiful clear pool well proportioned and with depth enough to dive - how nice to jump in there to cool off from the heat! It was just so easy to arrive on holiday here - everything is so well laid out and prepared for you that you really just need to park the car in the generous driveway, unpack open a bottle of wine, kick your shoes off and you're on holiday!! Living the French dream.

The owners had thoughtfully arranged a little welcome pack so we could have bread and cheese on our first night there and savour the view without worrying about venturing out after our journey. We have two children aged 9 and 11 and to be honest, they were utterly delighted with the pool, they basically spent hours in it having fun and enjoying the freedom of the garden which surrounds it. Really relaxing for us tired, stressed, over worked grown ups. After a day or so, a few choice bottles of wine,gorgeous meats, cheeses, breads and pastries bought from the many local markets and shops (all well described in the informative info pack left by the owners), we really felt chilled and relaxed.

By the end of our stay, we had had such a good time we decided to book again to go next year - loved it, loved the pool, the house, its facilities, loved the area, its friendly local villages, but most of all, we loved the chilled out atmosphere we enjoyed as a family in this nice house.
