The Experience

Bastide towns – Monflanquin, Monpazier, Villereal – awash with medieval buildings and foodie markets overflowing with pâté, truffles, walnuts, cheeses and fine wines are all within easy reach. Drive into Monflanquin for supper when it’s all illuminated and twinkly; there are plenty of places to eat or try Le Caillau restaurant set in a Cahors vineyard.

Your handsome stone house is well-equipped and comfortable with a wood-burner in the open-plan living room and a neat kitchen. Sit out on the covered veranda, the views are glorious.

Laze by the pool, walk through meadows and woodland, soak up the peace from under the ancient oak tree. Lindsay and Tim are next door and with a bit of notice can book up yoga, meditation and massage, art classes or a restaurant table – they’ll even drive you there and back. And you’ll arrive to a generous hamper with stuff for breakfast.

Reviews

Lounge on the veranda sofas and watch others exert themselves in the delightful pool; sit in the shade of a venerable oak; wander through the surrounding wildflower meadow and oak woodland. Do you get the picture yet: total tranquillity and not another person , or house, in sight. Yet all the attractions of the south west are nearby - ancient towns and villages, castles, all a touch more authentic than the treasures of the Dordogne valley, and certainly less frantic. A place to relax and let the hours drift by.

We have stayed in this amazing place for 2 weeks in the summer 2023 and absolutely felt in love with it. The location is breathtaking, we arrived during sunflowers fields being in bloom! The house has everything we needed, complementary croissants on our 1st morning were a nice surprise. The owners have left clear instructions on how navigate to the house and in the house itself, also there were many good recommendations for restaurants, brasseries, supermarkets, local activities!. We enjoyed night market in the next village so much! You cannot wish for more if you visit this place!

Amazing property, fantastic scenery amongst the sunflower fields. We were made welcome from the start and Tim and Lindsay were always there to answer questions on info around the surrounding areas. Would not hesitate to return again. We came as strangers and left as friends.

Paul & Judith, Worcester

'House in the Field' is a perfect tranquil holiday experience, with the friendliest hosts you could ever wish to meet. We had a fabulous fortnight at this wonderful property, visiting the many picturesque towns and villages of the region. Enjoyed long summer walks, fabulous electric bike rides and canoeing, which are all readily available in the area. The Bastide towns, with their markets and artisan craftsmen, were an additional highlight. Lindsay & Tim go the extra mile to make your stay perfect. A perfect fortnight, and look forward to returning again in the near future.

Location

The neighbourhood

The house is a 15-minute drive from Monflanquin, a pretty 13th century bastide town with masses of well-preserved medieval buildings. Visit the weekly market (Thursdays) in the main square; stock up on pastries and baguettes at the boulangerie; book onto an art class. Time your stay during a medieval weekend – hosted regularly in the summer – when the place comes alive. Another bastide jewel, Monpazier, is a 20-minute drive. Chateau Gavaudun has a fascinating dungeon to explore while Bonaguil and Biron castles are both close by and quieter than the Dordogne castles.

Local points of interest from Lindsay Patterson

  • We sit on the border of the popular & busy tourist areas of the Dordogne and Lot et Garonne. Our local town, Monflanquin, is a bastide village of stunning medieval architecture with great restaurants, quaint shops and an amazing ice cream parlour!
  • The summer 'night markets' in July /August are not to be missed! On different evenings in local villages, friends and strangers congregate for great French bonhomie to enjoy an array of delicious local produce washed down with good wine and live music!
  • There are so many activities on offer in the area, you will be spoilt for choice! Take a scenic walk, visit nearby bastide towns, Chateaux, vineyards or go on a Treetop adventure, go climbing, bowling, abseiling, horseriding, golfing, mini golfing and more
  • If Rivers are your thing, go wild swimming, have a river bank picnic, take a scenic boat trip or spend a day canoeing through rocky gorges past stunning villages or take a hot air balloon ride to enjoy the stunning landscape and architecture at its best!
  • 'House in the field' offers days of peace and tranquility or fun and laughter...it's up to you, it's your holiday! You can relax around the pool, have a massage, play water polo or croquet, have a BBQ, stargaze and toast marshmallows on the firepit!
  • If you want to be creative during your stay, you can take part in a holiday workshop (painting, cooking, writing, textiles, yoga). These workshops are available in the local area or on site and can be arranged for you subject to dates and availability.

Introducing

Lindsay Patterson

Lindsay and Tim took early retirement and have taken on this place as a project. The house is now ready for guests and they have turned their attention to the barn, where they live with their three rescue dogs. They are very welcoming and will go out of their way to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable.
