Beautifully Restored Farmhouse with Private Pool, Stunning Views, Near Cordes-sur-Ciel Reviews

The farmhouse has been beautifully and sympathetically restored by the owner in a simple, rustic style. It is set within generous gardens and benefits from spectacular views. We stayed at the house for two weeks and had an enjoyable time exploring the surrounding area. You will not be disturbed if you stay here, the only sounds you can hear are the occasional bark from the neighbouring farmer's dogs. There is no traffic, or light pollution here, it is so peaceful.

We unfortunately had a few issues with the house, which I feel should be mentioned before any other guests decide to stay. It generally was not very clean, we spent a considerable time cleaning when we arrived so that we would feel comfortable. Also, a lot of the lamps / lighting did not work, one of the bedrooms did not have any light, we had to use a torch. The owner explained there is a bit of a teething issue with management so I am sure this will all be resolved for the next guests.

Overall it really was a very beautiful setting and stunning location but we will not be returning to the house. The owner kindly refunded our cleaning charge however upon check out tried to charge us for the pool hoover's wheel falling off! We did not touch the hoover as per the owner's instructions (despite it taking up half of the pool at times). Part of the wheel was missing which is why it wouldn't stay on and had nothing to do with being tampered with. This left such a bad feeling as we had already had a bad experience with the cleanliness and maintenance and we had taken great care to look after the house and even washed some of the sheets before we left!

We did have a great stay despite the above issues, the location and setting are wonderful. I am very sure the house will be immaculate for the next guests, we were just unlucky I suppose. Also, the owner trying to grab our security deposit didn't leave us with a very nice feeling.
