The Experience
This old farmhouse has been converted into a comfortable and airy home with a light-filled sitting-room and space for everyone to spread out. Set within nine acres of garden, orchard and woodland, you might even see deer, red squirrels and hares about.
Let yourself in and settle in with a bottle of wine; if you’re arriving late, ask your hosts about having some food shopping waiting for you. The kitchen is very well equipped and spacious enough for a couple of cooks – it leads onto the terrace where you can take in the stunning valley views whilst you dine. On the other side of the house, you’ll find another covered terrace, the large pool and a games room with ping pong and mini football.
Detailed suggestions are left of where to eat and what to do during your stay. Although it feels very peaceful and remote here, the nearest restaurant is a five-minute drive away in Castelnau-Montratier. Explore pretty bastide villages and fortified castles nearby; kayak on the Lot and Aveyron rivers when you’re feeling adventurous.

Thank you for a wonderful stay – we all loved it. Brilliant weather, very comfortable beds, lovely lovely place to spend time. We also went kayaking at St Antonin and a visit to Pech Merle – fantastic experience. We would love to come back in the future to this special piece of paradise. We loved the local town & enjoyed the Wednesday Farmers Market & music. All in all a great family holiday. Thank you.

Once again we have enjoyed the very special tranquillity and beauty of La Borde Basse, for which we thank Martin and Fiona profusely. La BB is particularly good for its owners’ careful taste – ‘done, but not overdone’ as one of our guests said! It’s been hot, so we have been lazy – although enjoying the evening market and party at C-M, trips to Caussade, St Antonin & Lauzerte which never fail to impress.

We’ve had a wonderful 2 weeks – such a restful and beautiful place to stay. We’ve had some lovely times at the house, relaxing by the pool, table tennis and badminton competitions, games and jigsaw puzzles, and some great family meals on the terrace soaking up the view and atmosphere. Many great trips too, canoeing from St Antonin Noble Val to Cazals was a highlight, also canoeing on the Lot at Caix / Luzech. Swimming at Douelle; Wednesday evening and Sunday morning markets at Castlenau-Montratier (and a lovely lunch at Le Bardouquet). Thank you very much for sharing this lovely place.

Location
The neighbourhood
It’s wonderfully rural here - you’re surrounded by 3.5 hectares of meadow and woodland – look out for deer and hares in the garden. Castelnau-Montratier is a five-minute drive away and has tennis courts, restaurants on the town square, a market on Sundays and a supermarket. Find more restaurants, shops and markets in historic Cahors (25-minute drive), a pretty city with half-timbered houses and a striking medieval bridge, now a UNESCO world heritage site.
Local points of interest from Martin and Fiona Lingeman
- Two miles away in the arcaded central square of Castelnau-Montratier, as well as the Sunday morning market there is a local produce market with live music on Wednesday evenings in July and August. Have supper at a café in the square and watch the fun!
- The historic and attractive small towns of Montpezat-de-Quercy and Lauzerte (once an English garrison town!) are both within half an hour's drive. Take a stroll and explore, have a drink, and maybe end up with supper at one of several restaurants.
- In Cahors, combine a trip to the market on a Wednesday or Saturday morning with a visit to the mediaeval Pont Valentré bridge, a UNESCO world heritage site. Follow that with lunch at a restaurant overlooking the river Lot, or a trip on the river itself!
- Twenty minutes east of Cahors along the banks of the Lot river, the stunning historic village of Saint-Cirq-Lapopie clings to a cliff overhanging the river. After exploring the narrow streets take a cruise down the river from the bank below the village.
- Perched on the edge of a ravine, the extraordinary vilage of Rocamadour is the second most-visited site of pilgrimage in all of France. On the way there, try something different with a boat trip on the underground river in the Gouffre de Padirac caves!
- Probably the most popular family excursion from La Borde Basse is to the delightful small town of Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val, set in the beautiful and dramatic Aveyron gorge. Take a picnic, hire some kayaks or canoes and spend time exploring the river.

Introducing
Martin and Fiona Lingeman
Martin and Fiona bought and renovated the house for their own holidays 30 years ago. There’s an English keyholder who lives nearby and on hand should you need anything.
We have had a wonderful week. We have enjoyed visits to many of the villages recommended by previous guests – Castelnau (Sunday morning market and Wednesday evening food market – a particular highlight), Caussade (Monday morning market – excellent), Lauzerte, Montpezat and Cahors (where we had lunch at Le Petit Auberge – again excellent). Afternoons and evenings have been spent by the pool, at the table tennis table, on the terrace, over the barbecue and playing an assortment of games. We have very much enjoyed being together as a family in this beautiful place. Thank you Martin and Fiona.
