The Experience

Arrive through gates and up a shingle drive, which meanders around to the main entrance of this old stone, blue-shuttered farmhouse. Single-storey and surrounded by gardens, there’s stacks of space: lie on loungers by the pool while the children burn off steam; bask in the views over orchards and fields of sunflowers. Sip a glass of wine on the gorgeous vine-covered terrace as the sun goes down, then gather around the dinner table in the vaulted-ceilinged salle. The kitchen is well equipped, there’s a den with toys, and a snug with sofas and a wood-burner for cosy evenings. Rooms are neutral, with white walls and splashes of colour, floors are tiled and refreshingly cool under foot. Bedrooms are fresh and welcoming with new linen and towels; from the double there are doors opening onto the terrace, and all have views northeast over the gardens; none are en suite, but there’s a smart bathroom, a shower room, and a separate loo. Visit bastide towns, farmers’ markets, Pirate Land for the young ones. St Emilion and Bordeaux are just over an hour away. It’s less than a mile to a shop and restaurants are 10-15 minutes’ drive.

Reviews

Frankie, Ascot

Had an amazing week in a beautiful location. The gite was very well looked after and the pool was fantastic. I’ll miss our evening BBQs!


Fiona, Edinburgh

We had a lovely week at La Cachette - perfect for our family of 5. Wonderful pool much loved by our children, a shady terrace and really spacious inside and out. Really well equipped house for a family holiday in rural France. Excellent recommendations from Lin and John - we loved the night markets in Eymet and particularly beautiful Fongrave. Highly recommended!


Tom, Long Crendon

What a fantastic two week break made possible because of the quality Gite and amazing communications with the owner. The night sky's are missed as are the games of ping pong and afternoon swimming. The location is extremely private, rustic and relaxing with plenty to do in nearby surrounding villages and towns. Our three children (14, 18, 21) want to go back tomorrow! Thank you La Cachette for our wondeful summer holiday, we miss you.


Danielle, Amsterdam

Loads of space, indoors and outdoors. Lovely pool, large kitchen, pantry and dining room, cosy living room. Great roofed terrace with much appreciated table tennis table. Very attentive managers who live nearby and respond quickly i.c.o. issues or questions. Beautiful, peaceful and quiet landscape, not much traffic around. Definitely need a car (e.g. approx. 18-20 minutes to Miramont-de-Guyenne where there is a good bakery and larger supermarket). Night markets in small towns are great for food. For electrical cars: charging may a bit of a hassle as there are few charging points


Ken, Grimsby

What a fantastic place! Set in beautiful, rolling countryside it’s a real gem. We enjoyed the space of a very well equipped farmhouse and the peace and quiet of a property that has charm and character, but 21st Century amenities and comforts! We chilled and ate all our meals on the spacious verandah, mused about the world in general, swinging gently on the hammock, reclined on sunbeds beside the crystal clear pool and supported the French economy by drinking delicious local wines. We visited lovely medieval villages and absorbed the delightful countryside, devoid of traffic. A sheer joy.


Location

The neighbourhood

Local points of interest from Lindsay Whitehead

  • In July and August the local villages come alive with night markets, where you can sample local freshly cooked food and wines, all while enjoying live music and the warmth of the long summer evenings. Our favourites are Fongrave and Issigeac
  • Although the Lot et Garonne is 2hrs from the coast, local river beaches are only 15 minutes drive away, where you can swim, sunbathe, play or simply relax with a picnic in the beautiful surroundings.
  • Wine tours to local vineyards can be arranged by prior request, but the most popular is St Emilion, which produces world famous red wine and which is a 45 minute drive away through rolling countryside. There's a train around the town and lovely cafes too.
  • There are many great local restaurants but if you fancy something extra special, a short drive to Bordeaux will allow you to sample one of Rick Stein's favourite restaurants, as featured on his most recent weekend breaks series.
  • Golf, horse-riding and canoeing are all available locally.
  • Cycling is especially popular locally as the area has the rolling landscape of Tuscany - we can arrange local cycle hire, provide maps and also introduce you to the local club which previous guests have enjoyed
