The house

  • Quiet, rural area with some agricultural activity

If you're looking for somewhere to relax in a beautiful, quiet, rural location with your own heated, private pool and 1.5 acres of gardens, including a vegetable patch and fresh eggs from our chickens then this is your spot.

Once you've topped up your tan around our large 12 x 6m pool you can go for a bike ride in the beautiful forest opposite, play football or badminton on the grass or use the facilities of the Clubhouse (table tennis, darts, small gym or the bar). Meals can be taken on the patio outside using the gas or traditional wood bbq or inside in the fully equipped kitchen.

The master bedroom is beautifully decorated with hand finished soft furnishings and pure cotton bed linen and towels. The ensuite has its own shower, hand basin and WC. Each bathroom has its own complimentary toiletries and hairdryer. The second bedroom has two single beds, which can be zipped together, and its own large bathroom with shower, hand basin and WC just up the hallway.

The double height sitting room offers a place to relax, watch TV (English and French channels and multi DVDs), play Playstation or listen to music via Alexa. Two further guests can be accommodated in this room on the pull-out bed settee if required.

All curtains have blackout lining to ensure a good night's sleep and hypo-allergenic pillows.

If you need to do a little work whilst you are away there is a small desk and good internet connection available.
Pets need a holiday too so we are happy them, subject to prior approval.

Gite 31 is in a beautiful location overlooking fields and nearby countryside. The pool area is SW facing so benefits from the warm sunshine all day and provides further splendour with fantastic evening sunsets, which can be enjoyed down at The View. on slightly cooler evenings a fire pit can be lit.
There are 3 local villages all within 15 minutes drive, which offer supermarkets, bakers, butchers, petrol and banks. There are plenty of cafes dotted around the pretty market squares and Saturday morning markets are always worth the visit.
Don’t forget if you don’t want to drive and just fancy a long weekend away, we’re only 55 minutes from Toulouse airport and car rental is available at the airport.

    Ideale locatie om te rust te komen en volop te genieten van de natuur.
    Het huis biedt alle comfort en een prachttuin met zwembad voor ons alleen.
    Alles is tot in de puntjes verzorgd.
    Een aanrader!

  • 8 stars

    Twee fijne weken gehad in de gite. Rachel en Simon zijn uiterst behulpzame eigenaren, niets is te veel. De tuin en het zwembad zijn fantastisch. Het enige minpunt is dat wij voor de prijs een modernere keuken hadden verwacht.

    Dear Rachel and Simon, what a wonderful home and area! We loved our stay at Gite 31 and the magic of this place. Rachel and Simon were such kind hosts. The flowers placed in the rooms was a delightful touch, along with the bottle of wine, baguette and paté. The Gite was very clean and it was lovely. Curtains fantastic! it was so nice and so peaceful - no noise pollution, no light pollution - just peaceful greens - just what we needed. The heated pool was opened, it was a little chilly weather wise, but Rachel and Simon opened it as I had indicated how much I love to swim. Thank you Simon and Rachel for that extra work. I did enjoy a swim- trying to work off the apple pastry! Many places talk of 'a room with a view' Gite 31 is that! We will miss this place and Rachel and Simon. We look forward to returning :)
