Wonderful

Such a charming place to stay. My family and 2 others (13 in total) had such a lovely time here. A well-stocked/equipped kitchen (inc sharp knives AND a knife sharpener!). Lots of outdoor space for games, eating and relaxing - with a lovely round table and rotating centre to eat at that's great for minimising the "can you pass me the..." questions! The pool is cooling but not cold and west-facing for the evening sun. And it's quiet, but for the sounds of church bell in the distance. Michael the owner was really communicative and helpful, lovely to deal with. We wanted for nothing, c'etait genial!

Great house and grounds full of character
A wonderful week spent with family in this gite. The house is full of character and the pool area was spacious and great fun for the kids. The owner was very helpful and managed our expectations well. Would thoroughly recommend for large family groups.

Perfect place for family holidays
We had a wonderful time in Maison Lafeuille. Great house, with many rooms, plenty of services. The swimming pool was perfect. Located in a small typical south french village. Not far from Lacapelle, which has restaurants, grocery, and a nice small market every morning. Highly recommanded !
Beautiful house with many original features. Bedrooms well laid out for two couples and assorted children. Upstairs extremely hot during our first, heat-wave,,week but the pool came into its own for cooling off. Once- a week maintenance of the pool kept it pristine. Big living room excellent for games during hot afternoons, garden lovely morning and evening, particularly the eating area with parasol. The surrounding countryside offers treats for all ages, from river swimming to pre-historic cave-ipaintings. Easy reach of historic towns Figeac and St-Céré, and four-star Rocamadour. We loved it.
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour au sein de la maison Lafeuille. La maison, ainsi que son jardin et sa piscine sont très agréable. Maison très bien équipée, notamment la cuisine et parfaitement adaptée pour recevoir des grands groupes.
Excellente communication avec Clova et Michael, très à l'écoute et toujours disponibles pour donner des conseils ou des recommandations sur la région.
Un très bon séjour dans cette maison atypique, idéal pour des vacances familiales, avec tout le confort et le matériel nécessaire, très calme, bonne literie, belle piscine, je recommande!
Un grand merci aux propriétaires pour leur accueil et conseils de visites !!!
Nous avons passé une très belle semaine à Rueyres.
La maison est idéalement située pour ls nombreuses visites qu'il y a à faire dans la région. Le jardin est agréable ainsi que l'espace piscine.
La maison a beaucoup de charme. Elle est très rustique. Seul bémol sur les pièces d'eau qui sont peu pratiques (taille et emplacement) surtout quand on est un groupe de 10 personnes....
A savoir, 2 chambres sont traversantes au Rdc, ainsi que le dortoir et la chambre double, qui sont séparés par un rideau très opaque.
Les propriétaires sont adorables et très à l'écoute de nos besoins.
Nous recommandons cette maison pour passer de très beaux moments dans cette magnifique région.
Séjour très agréable dans une maison idéalement située.
Belle maison ancienne et rustique, très agréable par beau temps, particulièrement avec la piscine et le beau terrain.
Très bon contact avec le propriétaire, au service et à l'écoute des besoins.
Petit point d'attention: la description des chambres indique 4 chambres en plus du dortoir. Il apparait important de préciser qu'une de ces chambres est un espace donnant directement sur le dortoir, séparée par un rideau, et que l'accès à la 4e chambre pourvu d'un lit de 120cm et non 135 nécessite d'en traverser une autre (j'invite le propriétaire à ajouter à l'annonce le plan qui explicite bien cette configuration).
Nous avons passés un excellent séjour. Le propriétaire est aux petits soins pour vous renseigner et pour s assurer de votre confort. La maison est très bien équipée et très propre. La piscine est nettoyée toutes les semaines par un professionnel. Les espaces intérieurs sont suffisamment grand pour accueillir la totalité de notre groupe (10 personnes). Les extérieurs sont aussi très grands permettant à tous de profiter du terrain sans se gêner. Pour les propriétaires d animaux, c est un paradis pour le chien ( jardin clôturé). Située au calme dans son hameau, repos et silence assuré s! Idéal pour un séjour avec des amis ou de la famille.
Nous avons loué la maison à 3 couples d'amis avec enfants.
La communication avec les propriétaires a été régulière et agréable.
La maison est idéalement située pour visiter le Lot, nichée dans un environnement calme.
La piscine est agréable et sécurisée pour les jeunes enfants.
La maison comprend une chambre spacieuse au RDC avec une petite chambre en enfilade, idéale pour un jeune enfant. La chambre de l'étage est également très grande. Les enfants ont apprécié le dortoir. La 3ème chambre est uniquement séparée par un rideau ( précisé dans l'annonce), manquant un peu d'intimité.
Le jardin est grand avec de nombreux coins ombragés.
The house was very nice and comfortable. The neighborhood is very nice in the countryside. There is lot of things to do around the house and the pool is very nice. I will definitely recommend this house. It's very nice to exchange with Micheal and he always answer very quickly. Michael speaks also very well French.
Bij aankomst waren we blij verrast.
Het huis bleek een heel groot hans en grietje huis te zijn
Alles was aanwezig en van alles ook ruim voldoende maar inrichting was echt van vroeger
Wat wij heel charmant vonden
Zwembad keurig keuken praktisch
De slaapkamer waren wel erg onhandig ingedeeld je moet door elkaars kamer om op jou eigen kamer te komen
In ons geval was dat niet erg maar met vrienden zou ik dat niet prettig gevonden hebben
Er was een prachtige extra open schuur waar een ping pong tafel stond En je dus in de schaduw kon spelen
Top gezellige vakantie
Excellente semaine dans cette authentique maison. Le dortoir est un plus pour les enfants ou les ados.
Le jardin très agréable pour se reposer, belle piscine, rien à redire ... de belles balades à faire dans les environs et de grands sites à découvrir. Très belle région.
Contact avec les propriétaires très sympathique: tout cela a contribué à de très agréables vacances...

Très bon sejour dans un cadre rural typiquement local.
Belle maison de caractère, parfait pour etre au calme et profiter de la campagne. Une salle de bain supplémentaire aurait été un plus mais c'est un détail. La région est vraiment très belle et un très grand nombre de sites sont à visiter à proximité de la maison.

maison un pu sombre mais on vit dehors principalement. tres belle piscine fonctionnant sans probleme
maison un peu sombre mais on vit dehors principalement. Très belle piscine sans problème. une petite terrasse en haut d' escalier exterieur a l'abri du soleil et de la pluie est un paradis pour les enfants qui jouent aux cartes et pour l'aperitif des parents. Bon équipement de cuisine, il manque cependant un grille pain.
Pas de télévision : le rêve pour retrouver la communication en famille qui est en train de disparaitre. un conseil : supprimez aussi les écrans variés. il y a d'autres occupations, la région est superbe et les lieux à visiter nombreux. Et un piano quand on a quelqu'un qui peut s'en servir c'est du bonheur pour toute la maisonnée.
Merci nous avons passé. de tres bonnes vacances

Les photos mettent bien en valeur cette maison typique, chargée d'histoire, dont le must est la piscine! La maison se prête difficilement à des vacances entre amis nombreux, avec tous nos enfants, pendant 15 jours : seules deux chambres sont complètement isolées, l'insonorisation est insuffisante, et la literie mériterait d'être rajeunie... Nous avons regretté aussi le manque d'intimité due à la proximité des voisins, et plus individuellement au confort sanitaire (1douche/toilette dans la maison, une baignoire et un wc à l'extérieur : à 13, il faut de l'organisation!) ... Étant tous capables d'adaptation, nous avons passé de très bonnes vacances dans cette région riche de sites archéologiques, touristiques et sportifs!

Ideal place for a holidays with a large family!
This property is ideal for a holidays with a large family or group of friends. The place is clean and well-maintained and is also very authentic. The house is very well equipped, probably just missing an internet connection (though we actually enjoyed in the end having no internet).
The pool is safe and very beautiful. The region offers plenty of activities and attractions (Rocamadour, Gouffre de Padirac, Sarlat, la Dordogne, etc).
The owner has been very kind and helpful and easy to communicate with.
We recommend it to a friend or a relative.

The perfect balance
Peace and tranquillity guaranteed, two excellent master bedrooms and room for many children - who have a safe enclosed garden for play and a lovely pool. Very good dinning out - canard the local speciality - a short drive away. If your party includes keen cooks (as ours did) then you will immediately realise that the excellently equipped kitchen belongs to people who care about cooking.
Depending on your mood, and the weather, there are four eating areas.
Birdwatchers need not leave the garden and walking and hiking start virtually at the front door. There is a piano, a good music system and very comfortable chairs for relaxing indoors, and plenty of chairs and shady spots for relaxing outdoors. History in abundance is a short drive in any direction with Rocmadour a quite breath taking jewel in any crown.
There is boule in the garden, tennis in the next village and stunning canoeing on the Dordogne just a short drive north. If you need to stay in touch then bring your own dongle and there is excellent internet reception. There are books but no TV. Even the local French neighbours are absolutely charming. What else does a family holiday need?

pleasant, rustic base for exploring pastoral Lot
The house itself has an appealingly solid, antique and rustic feel, balanced by a modern kitchen with several charming eating spaces (outdoors, under a roof, and indoors) and a beautiful pool with a lovely patio for sitting and reading and looking out at the trees.
The house's location made it an excellent base for exploring charming old towns and cities like Figeac, Rocamadour, and Cahors by car, and staring out at the marvelous pastoral landscapes of Lot and Dordogne.
But on days with pleasant weather, we most enjoyed setting out walking one way or another right from the house on the nearby GR 10 footpath, which winds over meadows and through woods before dipping into small villages. The fields, orchards, woods, and meadows surrounding the house are lively with birds, and over a few days we spotted over 30 species of birds on our walks from the house. We loved walking at all times of day, on the paths and down the quiet roads nearby, with marvelously pastoral views across rolling hills. Similarly, we loved hiring canoes on the Dordogne, not far away, to paddle through forest and gaze up at cliffs and quiet villages among them.
I would be eager to return to the house for more relaxing and walking.

A tranquil holiday centre
Just returned from a blissful week in the tranquillity of Maison Lafeuille. It was great to stay in a 17th Century farmhouse - typical of the area, traditionally restored, very well equipped, and ideal for a large family. It was even better than described. For those requiring total relaxation, the garden and swimming pool provide it. For the more energetic - cycles are available at the house, and canoes on the Dordogne. However, for those wishing to enjoy the marvellous countryside between the Dordogne to the North and the Lot to the South, Rueyres is a perfect centre. In particular, the Grottes at Padirac are fascinating and well worth a visit. Those interested in History, will be able to visit numerous Châteaux and ancient towns, such as Rocamadour and St. Céré. Despite the adverse rate of the Euro to Sterling, it is still possible to find a four course meal with wine for 11 Euros, and how better than to relax after a day of sight-seeing than with a glass of Cahors in one’s hand ! All-in-all, we had a wonderful time - and it was reassuring to know that if we had a problem
(which we didn’t) we were able to contact the owners.
