Genevrier Accomodation

Ground floor
The main living area is open-plan with a traditional terracotta tiled floor and a beamed ceiling. A sofa and easy chairs provide comfortable seating in front of the Jotul wood-burning stove – extremely cosy on those out-of-season evenings!

Kitchen/dining area to the left of the entrance is well equipped and includes fridge, electric oven, gas hob and a microwave / combination oven. The old pine dining table will seat 8 people very comfortably.

Bathroom with wash-hand basin, shower and loo is also situated on the ground floor.

"Cuisine d'Été"
To the side of the cottage is a wonderful ‘cuisine d’été’. This is really the place that you are likely to take all meals during the hot summer months. The attractive covered area with stout oak beams and old canal tiles on the roof provides comfort and shade - an absolute necessity. A round metal painted table enables six to eat in comfort and a number of wicker chairs with squashy cushions provide the opportunity for you to put your feet up and relax with a glass or three of the famous local Cahors wine and read those books. A ‘baunderie’ completes this area and has a large fridge / freezer, washer / drier and double sink together with plenty of storage.

Upstairs
Two delightful pretty double bedrooms with polished wood floors, sloping ceilings and original oak beams. One room has two single antique pine ‘sleigh’ beds with French doors and the other a full-size double bed. Both bedrooms have double aspects and afford superb views over the valley.

An attractive extended landing/mezzanine at the top of the oak staircase provides a further single bed should it be required.

The swimming pool
The exceptional pool area is close to the cottage, sheltered and completely private. The wall of the barn, a terraced wall with lavender and cypress together a lower wall leading off into the copse, bound it on three sides. The fourth side is completely open to the views over the valley. The pool is 10m by 5 m with shallow steps by the barn end and varies in depth between 0.9m and 2.1m. There is a solar heated shower, the pool itself can be illuminated for those night-time dips and is fitted with an AFNOR approved alarm system.

The grounds
Genévrier is approached off a quiet lane and there is ample space for parking. The area within the immediate vicinity of the cottage is grass and has a mixture of mature oaks, scrub oaks, juniper and box bushes. The rest of the land is a combination of woodland, field and ‘causse’.

In 30 years of holidaying in France it was by far the best we have ever had ,.... the cottage was so comfortable, the location was so peaceful and the pool was just the 'icing on the cake' ..... it was the perfect holiday Newcombes
