About this property

Stunning restored farmhouse, heated pool, private walled garden,edge of village

La Garnison sits at the edge of a picture perfect village and is surrounded by walled gardens. It is next door to the impressive village chateau. A tranquil haven, this stone house has a pretty garden and heated swimming pool with lovely open views to the countryside beyond. A traditional farmhouse and barn have been combined to create a spacious interior. We spent a year working full time on this restoration project, taking time to consider attention to detail.

You enter the front courtyard where stone steps lead you up to a terrace ideal for family breakfasts. The front door leads into a large open plan sitting room, dining area and a modern fitted kitchen. The kitchen includes a range cooker, fridge freezer, dishwasher, microwave, coffee machine, toaster and a kettle. There are two sets of french doors with Juliette balconies which offer stunning views over the medieval village of Thedirac. The space is great for families and friends to spend time together.

A corridor leads you down into the main lounge complete with beamed ceiling and a wood burning stove. A lovely cool room to escape the heat and relax. You will find a large wall-mounted Smart TV here if you need to keep up with what is going on. And, of course, we have WIFI everywhere. A few steps take you down into a wine cellar where we have a selection of the local wines from local vineyards around Cahors and the Lot valley. There is a wine book so if you sample any bottles we like to hear your opinion. We are always adding to the collection as we enjoy discovering the wines of this region.

Back up to the lounge, French doors open out on to a balcony, shaded by an enormous Arcacia tree, perfect for sitting a while in the shade. A wooden walkway then takes you on up to the pool terrace and on into the garden and heated swimming pool.

There is a double bedroom on the ground floor and a separate cloakroom with toilet. Up the original staircase you arrive on a large landing area leading to two spacious bedrooms. One is a double and the larger one sleeps three. A large family bathroom is in the middle and includes a bath and a walk in shower.

A staircase leading up from the ground floor opens up into the master bedroom which includes a superking sized double bed. There is an open beamed ceiling reaching up to the rafters and an en-suite bathroom with large walk in shower. This bedroom has French doors leading out to a decked south facing terrace with outside seating and stairs that decend to the pool terrace and swimming pool. Ideal for an early morning or late night dip.

A second staircase goes from the open plan lounge up to a large landing where you will find two more spacious bedrooms and a family bathroom with a large bath and a walk in shower. The bedrooms each have double beds but extra beds can be added if you have small children.

The heated pool is surrounded by a large terraced area which is south-facing looking over the garden filled with roses and lavender. There is another stone barn that leads you back into the front courtyard. A cave beneath the house is equipped with a washing machine and laundry area. Plus a large fridge freezer.

The property is on the edge of the village and just over the lane we have free use of a tennis court. Tennis rackets and balls are provided. There is also a children's playground and a boules court a short walking distance away hidden behind the village walls.

We provide a fresh set of bed linen if your stay is longer than 1 week. Wine tasting evenings can be organised at the house by prior booking. We can also organise a chef for the night so you don't need to do anything but relax with apero's by the pool and have your dinner served on the terrace. If you want to go out for dinner we also provide a babysitting service and a ride to the restaurant and back. Please enquire when you make a reservation and we can provide more details.

You will find an excellent boulangerie and small shop in Thedirac only three minutes walk from the house. You can buy fresh goats cheese, BIO veg and honey from farms in the village. Local villages with markets are only 10 minutes away.

A great location to base your holiday as all the major tourist attractions of the Lot and the Dordogne are on your doorstep. Castles, caves, medieval towns and villages, canoeing, tree-climbing, not forgetting sampling the local food and of course winetasting. In the summer there are night markets, farmers food markets, outdoor theatre and film festivals, firework displays and much much more. The details and information for local events change all the time so we have a blackboard in the barn where we keep you updated on what is going on locally.

Wonderful week
The house is beautifully restored…better in person than in the pictures. Rachel snd Fred were very helpful hosts and stay nearby. The whole experience was wonderful - beautiful house in a charming village with option to take daily walks. Other villages just 5-10km away with grocery stores and restsurants- notably Les Arques, Catus and St Médard. Great water sports at Le Lac Vert in Catus. The house also has beautiful gardens and pool with stunning views of neighboring countryside.

La Garnison is a beautiful house, it had everything we needed for a family holiday.
This amazing house is In the village of Thedirac. Rachel and Fred our hosts were lovely. They greeted us on arrival and gave us plenty of tips. The welcome basket was perfect and just what we needed as we arrived late. The house is beautifully designed, very clean and the kitchen had everything we needed. The pool area is outstanding and the kids loved it. There is also lovely boulangerie in the village and in the village of Catus (10min drive) is a fantastic butchers and local Spar. We loved our week here, so relaxing and a perfect get away. We would definitely booked again at some point.

A superb stay
We would absolutely recommend staying here - the house is fabulous, a real home from home with everything you could need. The pool and gardens are wonderful, and Rachel and Fred very welcoming hosts. Thédirac is a pretty little village and the Boulangerie is a stroll away. Our granddaughters learnt their first French words there! There is a lot to see and do, if you can tear yourself away from the pool! We booked wine tasting with Luci and that was great fun and informative.

Lovely relaxing home from home
We spent 2 weeks at La Garnison with family in tow. From our initial meet and greet with Rachel and Fred to the end we felt very welcomed and made to feel "At Home" which was great considering we had my elderly mother and young teenage daughter and her friend to contend with. The house and grounds were in fantastic shape and had a great layout and the facilities, i.e bathrooms, kitchen, pool area etc were great for using and relaxing. Situated in a quiet area which is good but a lot to go out and see and not far away. Rachel and Fred were really helpful and friendly and we really enjoyed our stay here and if we have the chance would stay here again! Many thanks to them and their fantastic property we had a great experience. David and Hazel

Nous avons adoré résider à Thédirac. Petit village très sympathique (repas partagé le jeudi soir et camion pizza). L'accueil du Lot et des propriétaires de la maison a été irréprochable. Belle maison, très belles belles prestations. A refaire
