COMBEL is a beautiful, spacious single story french house with private pool.
Set in private grounds it is the perfect place to relax and get away from it all. Situated between the Dordogne and Lot rivers,in the Causse natural park. The historic town of Cahors and the stunning villages of Rocamadour and St Circ lapopie are a short drive away. The area is rich in history and wildlife. Nearby are many sporting activities to suit every taste and plenty of things to do and see for all the family.
The space
There is a very well equipped kitchen, a comfortable lounge and dining area with books, games, cd player and television (both French and English). The bathroom has a jet massage shower and twin hand basins, there is a separate toilet. There is one double bedded room, the other bedroom offers you a choice of two full size single beds or a super king size bed, both rooms have good size fitted wardrobes. There is also the option of a single size 'put you up bed' for one extra person/child this can be in bedroom 2 or put in the lounge at night. This can be added if requested in advance. We also have a cot for a baby but please note I do not supply the bed linen for this. All bed linen and towels (except pool towels) are included on the price.
Guest access
The house sits in private grounds of about .6 hectares and guests have access to the whole area. There is plenty of parking space and cars can be backed up to the door for easy unloading. There is a terraced and graveled area behind the villa which has a shady gazebo, automatic sunshade and bbq. This area is fenced and has lockable gates so is ideal for smaller children. The pool cover helps to heat the water and acts as a security cover, this rolls back out of the way but you can swim under the cover should you wish at cooler times of the year. There are wooded and meadow areas, we have decided to leave some to wildlife, other areas are mown and here you will find a hammock under the trees. In a small wooded area there is a large trampoline, swings, a slide and a basket ball net for the enjoyment of your children, the picnic bench under the trees means parents can chill in the shade while watching their children play.
(Note that guests use pool and play area at their own risk)
Other things to note:
Labastide Murat is about 6.5 km away and has a good supermarket, fuel, an excellent bakery, butcher, bar, restaurant and a tourist information. There is also a colourful but small market every second Monday. There is also a medical centre and pharmacy.
We do not charge a cleaning fee. We like to give guests the choice to clean it and to leave the property as they found it (as in ready for next guests apart from the linen ) Should guests want to pay for a cleaning service at the end of their stay we can arrange this for them if given advance notice to book in a cleaner.
There is a wood burning fire which can be used as an extra, wood charged at 10 euros a day to be paid locally.
