Charming cottage for 12 people - Wilderness + private pool

Would you like to recharge your batteries in the heart of nature, in a slightly unusual residence that is both warm and modern? Don't hesitate any longer: come and stay in our charming gîte which sleeps 12!

Everything has been thought out to offer you the charm of the old and the comfort of the modern, all in the heart of no less than 4 hectares of moors and groves, on a listed and protected natural site (Natura 2000). With its welcoming, spacious and well-appointed living rooms and comfortable rooms, the gîte awaits you to spend a relaxing moment out of the ordinary.
You will be delighted to enjoy its perfectly equipped exteriors: terrace, private swimming pool, outdoor games... we want you to make the most of your stay!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NATURE and AUTHENTICITY: the owner offers you a stay off the beaten track
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was love at first sight for us when we discovered the Manoir and our lives were completely turned upside down.
We have totally restored this former farmhouse with two ambitions: to always feel the soul of the past thanks to the beautiful part that has been left to the stones and the exposed beams, and also to offer you modern comfort in beautiful living rooms allowing you to enjoy this beautiful estate serenely.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHARACTER and MODERNITY
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You will first be welcomed by a large living room with exposed stones and beams. Very bright, it offers a comfortable corner sofa and several armchairs to share moments of conviviality.
This large living room also allows you to enjoy the television to watch one of the films offered in the video library, listen to the radio or one of your favourite CDs, or even discover the mini-billiard table!
Now let yourself be carried away to the huge dining room which can accommodate 12 guests around its beautiful farm table. This living space is also to be shared with the children: a small table, small chairs and two high chairs are at their disposal to play by your side during your meals!
A space shared between the dining room and the kitchen. You will be able to prepare delicious meals while being with your friends or family. This particularly well-equipped kitchen (oven, microwave, dishwasher, freezer, crockery, utensils, food processor, coffee maker...) has several accesses to the outside, allowing you to stay in permanent connection with nature.
And for a real moment of conviviality, you will be able to enjoy a good fire together, after having walked through the surrounding countryside, looking for mushrooms for example... We also put at your disposal, free of charge, the firewood to prepare beautiful flames and share a magic moment near this magnificent fireplace!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BEDROOMS AND BATHROOMS: CALM AND COMFORT
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 rooms that can accommodate 12 adults and 2 babies, allowing everyone to enjoy real moments of rest in complete privacy.
On the ground floor, you will discover 3 rooms equipped with comfortable beds of beautiful dimensions (2 of 160x200 and one of 140x200) to allow you maximum rest after the afternoons spent hiking or in the swimming pool.
Their charm is further enhanced by direct access to the garden for each of them .
Upstairs, you will find two other beautifully appointed areas under the slopes. On the one hand, there is a large mezzanine with two single beds and on the other hand, a room, preferred by children, with 4 single beds. Simply decorated, they are also in permanent connection with nature thanks to the large openings to the outside.
We have 2 completely new bathrooms. The first bathroom has a large shower allowing you to relax after a day of discovering the region's riches. It is accessible directly from the ground floor bedrooms and is equipped with a toilet. A second independent WC is also available on the ground floor.
The second bathroom has a large bathtub, ideal for the little ones!

We have tried to think of everything so that you can enjoy a stay with all possible comfort: washing machine, ironing board and iron, hoover are at your disposal. Finally, unlimited internet access is available free of charge throughout your stay.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OUTDOOR: a stay of NATURE and DISCOVERY
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Each room of this house allows you to enjoy the greenery of the surrounding countryside and to easily get out and enjoy it.
The kitchen opens onto a beautiful and large terrace. Equipped with a large exotic wood table and comfortable chairs, this terrace also has a sideboard to prepare your summer buffets in the shade of its overhang. From here, you can enjoy the listed and protected natural site (Natura 2000) and its 4 hectares of moors and groves.

A magnificent private swimming pool of 5x9 metres protected by a veritable green setting, with deckchairs to bask in the sun, a barbecue, a table tennis table or table football, not to mention other games for children...

If you wish to get away from the estate, you will soon be amazed by the rich heritage of the surrounding area: Lot, Dordogne and Garonne. You will be able to visit the bastides, castles and museums of the region, but also surprising prehistoric sites. The vineyards, picturesque villages and local markets are also a real source of wonder for everyone. All of this just a few kilometres away.
Sports enthusiasts will have the opportunity to enjoy a wide range of activities, including tennis, golf, canoeing, kayaking and fishing. There are beautiful paths to discover by bike, on foot or on horseback, as well as numerous parks and leisure centres in the surrounding area.

Tranquil Retreat
If you are looking for a place hidden in wonderful countryside, then this place is for you. It’s a tranquil retreat and a great base to explore the area. The hosts were attentive and helpful without being intrusive. In total there were 10 of us and the house was more than large enough with the pool being a bonus. A definite recommendation.

Total privacy in beautiful forested countryside
We found Les Coustals spotlessly clean, super comfortable (really good beds & sofa) as well as characterful and charming - this was the most relaxing break we have had for years. The pool is just 100 yards from the house and is saline, not chlorine - unheated but really refreshing & very private. We loved the outside bbq, eating on the front porch, listening for owls & watching the sunset through the trees. Jean Claud was incredibly welcoming, kind and helpful; always around if we needed advice but very discreet (he lives in a beautiful larger house nearby). We had cool weather for 2 days and he kindly encouraged us to pick the quince and figs from his driveway to make jam, & to walk over his huge estate - just beautiful & unspoilt. Our dog loved having the freedom to roam too! If you want rest, relaxation and to connect with the french countryside, this is the perfect spot. Thank you Jean Claud; we hope to stay again.

Vacances au calme !
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour à Coustals, la maison est idéale pour passer des vacances au calme. Elle reste très fraîche au rez de chaussée malgré la chaleur environnante, ce qui est vraiment un point fort. Malgré la possibilité de largement aéré les chambres en mezzanine celle ci reste chaude. La piscine est idéale, bien entretenue, et bien localisée par rapport à la maison avec une superbe vue. Quelques équipements en plus au niveau de la salle de bain seraient les bienvenues (un sèche cheveux, un tapis de sol…). La cuisine est globalement bien équipée. Un petit bémol cependant sur la présence régulière des propriétaires, avec des passages journalier sans prévenir. Notamment pour programmer des choses qui pourraient se faire via messages. Très agréable expérience en tout cas, nous recommandons !

Gîte très agréable et propriétaires très à l’écoute
Le gîte est grand et propre, bien équipé. Plusieurs espaces sont disponibles permettant des activités diverses. Le baby-foot et la table de ping-pong ont été très appréciés. La piscine est un lieu agréable pour se baigner mais aussi pour observer les étoiles entre les arbres. Le gîte est parfait pour se détendre en famille ou entre amis. Quant aux propriétaires ils ont ete disponibles et réactifs (problemes de tuyauterie regardés dès leur survenance) et compréhensifs pour le remplacement d’une pièce àmpour le robot piscine. Les contaccts ont été très sympathiques. Très bon séjour! Merci

Au calme
Nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans ce gîte. La maison est au calme et est très fraîche. Le fait d'être en pleine forêt apporte de la sérénité et la maison ancienne garde la fraîcheur. Quelques insectes peuvent s'inviter également... La piscine reste proche de la maison sans être à côté ce qui permet de ne pas entendre le bruit des baigneurs de la maison 😉. Les environs offrent de quoi visiter et se promener. Les marchés sont très petits sauf celui de Thézac ou de Libos. Le village très accueillant et les festivités organisés très sympathiques (14 juillet). Ce furent de belles vacances !!

Vacances nature en famille
Propriété en pleine nature, bien adaptée pour une famille ou un groupe. Maison rustique mais fonctionnelle et bien équipée dans laquelle nous avons été très bien accueillis par des propriétaires charmants. Points de détail : une des chambres est en mezzanine et il faut savoir que la connexion internet est assez compliquée.

Lovely secluded wilderness!
We spent a lovely week at Coustals last week. We were 7 adults and 5 children (there are 3 double bedrooms and a mezzanine above the lounge, sleeping 2 in an open area and 4 in a bedroom leading off it - this is where the children mainly slept). The owner Jean Claude was very friendly and helpful and everything ran smoothly. The gite itself is lovely and spacious and has everything you need. Everything was also clean and tidy. It is off the beaten track and so is very private with no road noise whatsoever and no through traffic. The view from the veranda was spectacular, looking out over the wooded valley. The pool was bigger than expected and a very good size. We had lots of fun together during the week and everyone was very comfortable. The only slight problem we had was the electricity cutting out a couple of times during the night, but I think this is to be expected in such remote countryside. We think we isolated it to the dishwasher but maybe take a torch with you! Other than that it was the perfect place for a big family holiday and I hope we return in the future.
