Gîte Le Saltre

Dear Penny and Patrick, Staying here for the second time as a family was once again a fantastic experience. The combination of the comfortable and tastefully decorated gîte, the beautiful surroundings and the warm hospitality makes this gîte our perfect holiday destination. Your location is ideal: a picturesque, peaceful and relaxing environment with stunning views of the rolling landscape, wonderful walks with opportunities to spot so many animals and still plenty of activities and sights between the Lot and the Dordogne to entertain everyone. Thank you very much! Sara

We spent a really lovely two weeks at Gite Le Saltre. It's a fantastic property with everything you could need, in lovely grounds above a valley. The views from the property are superb. Penny and Patrick are excellent hosts and there for you should you need them but never obtrusive. There are walks from the property into the countryside, and the wildlife and fantastic night time star gazing opportunities are there to be enjoyed. Penny and Patrick's lovely restaurant in Montcuq is definitely worth a visit; we had two lovely meals there. We really hope to return one day soon to Gite Le Saltre.

Very welcoming hosts who have struck the right balance between friendly and helpful with privacy. The accommodation is in a stunning rural setting and the pool is genuinely exclusive. The pool is private with beautiful views but also a sheltered terrace. The property has two equally sized bedrooms with dressing rooms and en-suite bathrooms so would suit two couples sharing and suited us with our teenagers too. Spacious open plan living area. Very clean and attractive. Beautiful hill top villages to visit in the area. An enjoyable holiday with no issues at all.

Penny and Patrick are such lovely and welcoming hosts. Their gite is so thoughtfully done and so comfortable with the most beautiful views. It’s a haven of peace and tranquility. We even saw 2 deers wander by one evening! We were lucky with the weather and swum in the pool every day and relaxed in the sunshine. Their restaurant is a delight and we had a lovely meal there. Thank you Penny and Patrick! X

We were very happy with gite Le Saltre starting from the very warm welcome we received from Penny. The gite had all we could wish for along with the lovely surrounds of the countryside and birdsong. We had a delicious meal at Peny & Patrick's restaurant, Cafe du France in Montcuq. We highly recommend the gite and restaurant. Penny was a great communicator prior to our booking and arrival. Hope to be back in the near future.

We absolutely fell in love with both Gite Le Saltre and the Quercy Blanc region. The Gite itself is impeccable, replete with so many beautiful touches. It is clearly a labour of love. Penny and Patrick are such delightful hosts, always ensuring you have what you need, there with great advice on what to do, friendly and welcoming, but still giving you the space and privacy to enjoy their lovely property. The wider Quercy Blanc region is a slice of heaven - stunning views, gorgeous villages, and amazing wine and food (eat in their restaurant - Cafe de France - which we did 4 times!)

July we had a fantastic time in this wonderful gite, the best equipped I have ever been too. Super helpful hosts, Penny and Patrick and a glorious pool made this an unbeatable holiday. Thoroughly recommended

A lovely location, tucked away in a lesser known area, with lovely villages just 10 minutes away. Walks up in the woods and fields behind the perfect Gîte especially at sunset are a delight. Penny has thought of everything in the Gîte, there is nothing else you could wish for. We were lucky to arrive as she was making apricot jam! Both she and Patrick are perfect hosts, discreet, yet friendly and helpful…don’t forget to eat in their restaurant in Montcuq!

The area is both beautiful and interesting, with plenty to offer visitors, while the gîte itself is absolutely delightful: brilliantly designed, decorated with flair, superbly appointed and equipped, and offering an idyllic view during the day and a magical starry sky at night. Even the pool has a view. Penny and Patrick are charming, friendly hosts and made us welcome without ever intruding. We recommend Le Saltre in the warmest possible terms.

Penny and Patrick are very welcoming yet discrete hosts, even providing us with an evening meal as we were arriving late. The gite is beautifully furnished and perfect for a relaxing holiday. Sole use of their swimming pool is a really nice touch. The surrounding countryside is lovely with gentle walks straight from the gite and plenty of towns, villages and vineyards to visit, including Penny and Patrick’s restaurant in Montcuq. Don’t miss the freshly baked walnut bread from the local mill/farm.

We just spent an idyllic week at Le Saltre Gite. The Gite is beautiful with gorgeous furnishings and every convenience you could need (air con, walk in wardrobe, laundry, gas barbecue, even citronella candles for the terrace!) The location is equally stunning with amazing views across the countryside by day and of the stars at night and a large pool set in a lavender scented garden. Montcuq is 15 mins away with a range of shops and eateries (including the owners’ wonderful restaurant). All in all a great place to switch off and recharge your batteries. Thoroughly recommend!

We have just had a lovely week’s holiday here. Penny and Patrick made us very welcome. The gite has been stylishly and sympathetically renovated and is very well appointed and comfortable. It is set in a beautiful spot and we never tired of the view. We enjoyed exploring the local towns, Montcuq being our favourite with the added attraction of Penny and Patrick’s restaurant, a great place to sit and have a coffee and people watch or to eat. We enjoyed our stay very much.

A wonderful personal welcome from Penny on arrival which set the tone for the whole week. This Gite is an absolute ‘find’ situated in idyllic rural surroundings with great countryside views and easily accessible to local French markets. The Gite itself is superbly appointed and furnished to an exceptionally high standard with all the facilities you could want. Fortunate to have fantastic weather with temperatures 30-41 degrees - so we were very appreciative of the air conditioning and the pool! Penny and Patrick are the perfect hosts making us so very welcome - Thank you!

We had a fantastic stay with Penny and Patrick. The gite really is fabulously appointed and there is everything you could possibly need for a great stay. Beautiful setting, the pool is excellent (and nice and long for proper swimmers!). The area is beautiful with plenty to see and do. Lots of great surrounding towns and villages. All in all we couldn't recommend it enough and look forward to our next chance to go and visit.

We have had the greatest stay this summer in the house of Penny and Patrick. The beautiful view and peaceful surroundings in this wine area made it a very relaxing and enjoyable holiday; just what we were looking for. It was clear they both have a feeling for great hospitality and did the greatest job in making us feel at home. Starting with the delicious food when we arrived, so that we could eat after arriving late. Besides the nice village Montcuq, there are lots of beautiful vineyards, a golf club and cities like Cahors nearby.

A great place for those in search of tranquillity, gorgeous countryside, sunset al-fresco dining and stylish comfort. Owners, Penny and Patrick, will help you discover the region's best food and wine producers, and keen cooks will love the well-equipped kitchen.
