The Experience

Gaze across the wooded valley to the gentle Quercy hills; crack open the welcome bottle of wine. The setting is stunning and the blackbirds sing. You cannot help but unwind.

This rustic, stylish, 18th-century barn comes with its own barbecue terrace, and exclusive use of the owners’ pool. Your living space is light and lofty, your en suite bedrooms – one up, one down – serene, and your well-equipped kitchen the bees-knees. Penny and Patrick work at their restaurant in Montcuq during the day, so the whole place feels like yours.

Montcuq, cobblestoned capital of the Quercy Blanc, is full of good places to eat; Lauzerte, a 15-minute drive, is equally charming. This gentle region, wedged between Bordeaux, Toulouse and the Lot, teems with small, often organic, food and wine producers… get your bread in Castelnau from the wood-fired oven. Your hosts will recommend all their favourites.

Nicky, Sawday's inspector

Location

The neighbourhood

In off-the-beaten-track Quercy, the barn (all yours) and house are surrounded by 70 acres of field, forest and views. Follow the trails; one leads to an old windmill with a view of the Pyrenees on a clear day. Lovely old Montcuq, 11km, has a fabulous market on Sundays - and a swimming lake. It's also home to the owners' restaurant. Castelnau is closest for shops; a gorgeous golf course is 3km.

Local points of interest from Penny & Patrick Henrotin

  • There is something for everyone. The hamlet of Le Saltre is ideally located between Castelnau Montratier, Montcuq and Lauzerte. Walks through woodland and sunflower fields straight from the front door. You may see a deer or two grazing in the background
  • 10-min drive to Montcuq, a popular tourist attraction, cobblestoned streets, a buzzing Sunday market, restaurants and cafes where one can relax with a glass of wine, a coffee or even a chilled glass of Fenelon, a traditional Quercy appetiser.
  • A short drive to Castelnau, full of peaks and valleys, the houses here with boletus terraces and Mediterranean roofs have a charm. The dome of Saint-Martin’s Church is reminiscent of Sacre Coeur in Montmartre. Golf on a hilly 9 holes, par 70 course.
  • 15-min drive to Lauzerte, stopover for pilgrims, perched above the valleys and hills of Quercy Blanc. 12th century village, a path leading to Saint-Jacques de Compostelle. A short drive to Moissac with its world heritage 12c abbey and cloister.
  • Enjoy a day in Cahors, town on the Lot river, known for its Pont Valentre, a medieval bridge with 3 towers. The old town features narrow alleyways, imposing Cathedrale St-Etienne. You can even take a boat trip on the river Lot during the summer.
  • Drive along the banks of the river Lot through wonderful gorges, visit the beautiful village of Saint-Cirq-Lapopie perched high on the cliff or cycle along the river. Day trip to Rocamadour or sample the unique flavours of Cahors Malbec wine.

Introducing

Penny & Patrick Henrotin

Patrick (Belgian) and Penny (from London with Indian background) live on site, leave you a generous selection of food, and are more than happy to chat whenever they are around. She was originally in HR, he was an accountant, and in 2004 they upped sticks from the UK to run a restaurant in Montcuq - the very popular Café de France. Discreet and delightful hosts, they love food, wine, and golf.
