Beautifully renovated stone cottage overlooking the Lot Valley

La Maison du Four (Sleeps 4 people):

The cottage faces South-West to catch the light from morning to evening. However, the thick stone walls keep it cool in summer and warm in winter.

There is a spacious living area with comfortable furniture and a beautiful Cantou fireplace with woodburner for our winter guests. Radiators provide further warmth.

The kitchen is equipped with a large farmhouse style table, oven, hob, fridge and dishwasher. A washing machine is also provided. 

The main bedroom has a king sized bed and en suite bathroom with WC, hand basin and corner bath.This large bedroom has a vaulted ceiling, exposed timbers and double aspect dormer windows with stunning views over the Lot Valley.

The lower ground floor twin bedroom has an en suite shower and WC and double patio doors onto a small terrace with south facing views. Ideal for an early morning cup of tea or glass of wine in the cool of the evening.

Outside, the spacious main terrace faces south west and is equipped with table, chairs, sunloungers and barbecue. Shade is provided by parasols or the roof of the ancient bread oven from which the cottage gets its name.

The River Lot is well known for fishing and canoeing and there is an abundance of wonderful activities for guests to enjoy in the area, along with numerous places of interest including the famous village of Conques on the Route de St Jacques de Compostelle.

Canoeing down the River Lot is a must and there is a canoe school within 10 minutes of the cottage. 

There is a golf course at Aurillac, 40 minutes drive away, with fabulous views of the mountains and another at Rodez. 

There are many superb restaurants offering choices from the typically French menu du jour to haute cuisine. The local Marcillac and Entraygues wines are highly recommended and the locally-produced goats’ cheese recently won prestigious awards. 

Lagarrigue is well positioned, being just one hour’s drive from Rodez airport or three hours from Toulouse (via Easyjet,Ryanair, British Airways).
