Charming Cottage/Gite with Cosy Atmosphere and Pool

"Where Time Has Stopped At Its Best"

Let us help fulfil your expectations for a perfect holiday. Warm, sunny days – cool, refreshing pool. Beautifully comfortable cottage, and so much to do and enjoy in the lovely Lot countryside.
 
Visit pre-historic caves; explore the medieval history of the bastide towns surrounding the famous city of Cahors; enjoy sports galore and all the fun of the fêtes. Walk and bike in safety to your hearts content. Feast on the gastronomic delights and hearty wines of the Region - the Lot has more Michelin Stars per capita than any other Department in France.
 
Or just chill out and regain your equilibrium away from the hassles of urban life. We encourage you to make yourself at home near the picturesque village of Lherm. Walk the trail through our woods; watch Ian tend his small vineyard; hide away in the hammock with a good book; sip on a delicious glass of local wine; lounge and dine by our beautiful, private pool - surrounded by the scent of Suzie's lavender field - and sit under the clearest night sky in Europe listening to the Nightingales sing. La Chaumière de Lavande offers the delights of an environment where time has stopped at its best.

About Lherm in Lot, Midi Pyrenees

Massarrat is a tiny hamlet (so we're not totally isolated), and we look out over views of undulating fields and woods. The cottage has a high wall enclosing the side of the garden next to the only lane that runs through Massarrat. A private lane takes you up to the pool complex, which is 50 yards from the cottage and hidden behind the pigeonnier

The nearest shopping can be found in Cazals (10mins) where there is a full range of shops, banks, post office and markets – in fact, everything you need for a complete holiday. Prayssac (15mins) and Cahors (30mins) offer a wider range of supermarkets and variety of shops to satisfy the most ardent of “retail therapists”! Cahors is also the capital town of the Lot Valley, and is rich in history, Roman and medieval remains, and well known for its famous bridge - Pont Valentré – and its wine and food.
