Le Farat

Allison and Nick have created a beautiful, comfortable and convenient haven with La Farat, set in a quiet corner of SW France. Their warm greeting, generous welcome basket of foods, wine, juice and milk were a delight upon arrival and their attention to our comfort and enjoyment continued throughout our week long stay in Maison du Solely. The surrounding countryside and nearby villages of Bardigues and Auvillar were stunning and our hosts are full of useful tips for day trips. If you're seeking peace and quiet, you could do no better than La Farat. We will be back!

We stayed in the B&B for 4 nights as R&R from a hectic family holiday (16 of us including 8 grandchildren!) further North. Our stay with Allison and Nick was just the tonic we needed. They are the most wonderful hosts and we felt welcome the moment we arrived. Le Farat is simply perfect; the tranquility of the countryside,punctuated only by the seasonal activities of the farming communty and yet you are within a couple of minutes of the lovely town of Auvillar. Lots of restaurant choice and our experience. There are many beautiful villages in the region & great restaurants. We will be back.

We had the most amazing time in Maison de Soleil in July. The Gite was perfect, had everything we could ask for and also stayed really cool during a number of 39-40C days. The lovely pool was very well used! Allison and Nick could not have been more kind, considerate and helpful. We had not been to that part of France before but it was stunning with some amazing hilltop villages and lakes and rivers to swim in. We will be going back to Le Farat and can’t recommend it highly enough. Thanks Allison and Nick.

We stayed in the Maison de Soleil, fabulous beamed ceilings and stone walls. Furnished to a high standard with statement bedroom furniture, comfortable beds and luxury bed linen. Every detail is carefully considered for the guest experience. The welcome pack filled with everything you would need on arrival with hams, cheeses, cake and wine! Allison and Nick are amazing hosts, a font of knowledge and always on hand. With the stunning autumnal scenery and the tinkle of Wilma's (the dog) reindeer bells this was a magical break in a beautiful location. Highly recommended.

We spent a peaceful week staying in the Pigeonnier house with our two young children. It was beautifully spacious and cool inside even when it was 39 C outside. Alison and Nick made us very welcome and had thought about all the details to make our stay comfortable, including a huge welcome pack with homemade cake and home grown fruit and veg. They'd made adaptations to keep things safe during covid, and the place was spotlessly clean. The gardens and grounds have lots of space for exploring, long views and a trampoline. and the pool is big and clean with more lovely views. Highly recommended
