Period Farmhouse, sleeps 12, large 12m x 6m pool, barn, big garden, courtyard

Restored farmhouse, 6 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, swimming pool, set in countryside.

Completed in July 2013 this fully restored traditional detached stone farmhouse is set on the edge of the small rural hamlet of Cambou and will accommodate 12 people in 6 fully furnished large bedrooms, 3 doubles (one with an additional single bed in the room) and 3 twins with 3 bathrooms, one being en-suite.

La Vieille Ferme has been restored to a high standard whilst retaining the rustic charm and character of a period stone property with vaulted ceilings upstairs and exposed stonework. The thick stone walls and fully insulated roof tend to keep the house cool in the summer and warm in the winter ensuring maximum comfort. The fully fitted kitchen boasts granite worktops, a double oven with hob, dishwasher, American fridge freezer, microwave, toaster plus everything associated with a well-equipped kitchen including an oak trestle table with chairs comfortably seating 12 people. The lounge features an open stone fireplace, comfortable leather seating, television (with UK freeview box) , round table with 6 chairs and a set of double doors opening onto private gardens. A washing machine located in the utility room. Wifi.

The large garden is stone walled and fenced around the entire perimeter (although not completely dog proof!) with additional fencing around the 12 metre x 6 metre swimming pool with roman steps offering parents with children additional security. With enough room to kick a football and run around, children have room to play.

An open fronted stone barn is situated close to the swimming pool inside of which there is a large extendible table with ample seating and a full sized table tennis table.

Around the swimming pool you will find a paved area with reclining loungers and a BBQ nearby.

A large private parking area with an open fronted stone barn to accommodate a further two cars flanks the garden with outside lighting throughout the grounds, outbuildings and in the private courtyard with outside seating plus the pool is fitted with lights to facilitate evening swimming.

Central-heating affords the property all-year-round use.

Lovely relaxing farmhouse with great pool

The house was just perfect for us (a party of older and younger adults). Very comfortable accommodation and great outdoor spaces too. Lots to see in the area, but without the crowds. Andrew and Diana were very helpful and charming hosts.

Super house, ultra helpful owners and magnificent

We really enjoyed our stay because the house has everything we needed; well equipped, well located, great garden for our dogs to roam around safely, large pool and above all else, the most friendly and helpful owners you could ever wish to meet. Andrew and Diana really are enthusiastic hosts and we have not experienced anything comparable in our 15 years of renting in France.

Fabulous Gite in beautiful countryside

This is a lovely farmhouse surrounded by beautiful unspoilt countryside. The interior is very well appointed and comfortable - even better than the pictures suggest. The highlight is the exterior with the pool and covered barn which provided us with the opportunity for hours of relaxation and a convivial place to enjoy the wonderful climate, local wine and lots of BBQs

Fantastic hosts, fabulous time......

Loved it, we have been to the area before, its just such a great place in France. Always looking for a good base camp and this is it, I actually don't want to tell anyone so we can always get in when we want it. Amazing hosts, lovely people, left us alone but were there when needed. Building set up perfect, and so much to explore around the area. Our youngest was 21 and most of us were 49 +....we all had a great time, fantastic local food and wine. Cant wait to go back. Any questions or pictures needed contact me direct....

A notre arrivée, nous avons été reçus par Diana et Andrew, des hôtes fort sympathiques se mettant à notre écoute. La maison était très propre, très agréable, fonctionnelle et bien équipée. aimant cuisiner, nous avons été sensibles à l'équipement conséquent de la cuisine; la maison est très spacieuse et préserve des coins de tranquillité favorable au repos; la literie est très bonne et les pièces bien agencées. la décoration est sobre et fonctionnelle et donc facile avec des enfants. Le jardin, avec une grande et belle piscine (bien entretenue et bien sécurisée) et un salon extérieur est propice aux jeux et soirées d'été.

Exceptional standards all-round

The property is located in a wonderfully tucked away, but special location. It has the sun in the front garden/pool area from morning until evening when you are spoilt with glorious sunsets. The house is a traditional farmhouse and has been redeveloped sympathetically yet to the very highest standards. The rooms are cosy at night and airy with plenty of light during the day. The communal areas are well-appointed and modern yet authentic farmhouse details have been maintained. Bathrooms are modern with excellent water pressure. The pool is fenced in with a lockable gate and has a sensor which was extremely reassuring with our 3 year old. The outside spaces have generous dining tables, a table tennis table and well maintained lawn. The area is quiet at night with minimal and modest farm noise during the day. The area is delightfully understated with very special towns and cities a comfortable drive away. The hosts are magnificent and are keen to welcome you and ensure your stay is comfortable in every way. We enjoyed are stay immensely.

Lovely house in a beautiful area

10 of us plus 2 dogs stayed at La Vieille Ferme for a week in August 2018. We wish we could have stayed for two weeks, there was so much to see and do. The house was perfect - we ate almost every meal outside, but the long table inside was also great for us to sit round. The pool was amazing, and the area round about had lots of walks for us and the dogs. Andrew and Diana gave us a lovely welcome and were available if we ever had questions or problems. (We didn't.) Nearby we visited Les Jardins de Quercy, Albi and we went to the fantastic market at St Antonin Noble Val. We almost stayed another day in the area so we could go to the Sunday market again! Varen has a nice riverbank to relax or walk by.

A hidden treasure

That time had come to plan a holiday for 2017 with our ‘bestie’ friends, two families together (8 children in total) for a holiday that was going to create lifelong memories. After many an evening of scouring the net looking at French holiday accommodation we stumbled across ‘La Vieille Ferme’ which was not only available at our required dates, but it was also within our budget. Andrew and Diana, the property owners, answered our questions quickly and we booked. Finally the day came to start our holiday - as we stepped out of the car and everyone started jumping for joy that the trip was finally complete, you instantly felt the warm air around, heard the crickets and looked up to the sky to see the most amazing star constellations including the Milky Way. The Farmhouse is exactly as described on the web, although much larger than we expected (more than enough room for two families of 12) you could see first-hand the attention to detail that Andrew and Diana had undergone when restoring this beautiful rustic farmhouse. We had everything we needed including a lovely kitchen area, more than enough cutlery and all the usual gadgets. The bathrooms were perfect, tastefully finished with modern shower equipment (nice pressure). We had an amazing time visiting the local towns including ‘St Antonin’ where we spent a whole day Kayaking 10km along the river Aveyron taking in the beautiful gorge backdrop with huge limestone cliff faces that shoot up into the blue sky from crystal clear water teaming with fish.In Laguépie they have inflatables on the river that are free to use. Cap’Découverte, a 40 min drive away, really topped the holiday experience, great value for money offering water skiing, kayaking, toboggan, go karting, mountain biking, pedals, aerial runway etc. Najac and Albi were really pretty and there always seemed to be something going on which made for a nice surprise.You can walk to the two boulangeries in the local villages of Varen and Verfeil 1km and 3km away but will need a car to drive to St Antonin where there is a medium sized Carrefour which stocks most items you would expect to see in the UK.Getting to know Andrew and Diana was really nice and we all felt that they went out of their way to try and ensure we had a great time and on the morning we left Andrew, Diana and Twiglet (their gorgeous dog) came up to wave us off as they readied themselves for their next visitors. We do hope to see them again one of these days, perhaps back in Blighty.

Fabulous French Farmhouse

The farmhouse is exceptional in every way. Everything you need (and more) is there and is good quality and well looked after. The owners, Andrew and Diana, go out of their way to ensure that you are well looked after and are a great source information about the local area if you need it. The kitchen and dining area are fabulous and great for entertaining and the pool and garden outstanding. We have stayed in many holiday rentals across Europe and this has to be one of the very best. Recommend it 100%.

Fantastic stay in beautiful surroundings

This is a gorgeous house, superbly renovated and very well kitted out in an absolutely stunning part of France. Andrew and Diana were incredibly helpful and kind from offering jeep tours of the surrounding countryside to expert expat advice on moving to France, which we all wanted to do the minute we set foot in La Vielle Ferme. Truly a stunning property and within a few minutes of Saint Antonin Noble Val and a short drive to many beautiful bastide towns. Not to be faulted. A wonderful holiday and we will most definitely be back!

Super house and very friendly, helpfull owners!

We visited the house in the summer of 2017 with 6 adults and 5 children (between 2 and 7 years old) We really enjoyed our stay because the house has everything we needed: - Big pool with fence and alarm - Big house with 6 bedrooms - Big kitchen with all the things you need to cook for a big number of people The fence around the pool and the 'built-in' alarm is definitly a big plus point when you have children. The gate to the pool is also a childproof locked gate. The kids have also a big garden to play in it, so entertainment enough! The 6 bedrooms are really big enough. Long story short: a wonderfull house where you can enjoy the silence and the wonderful views! Last but not least: the owners, Diana and Andrew, are very friendly & very helpfull people. If we had questions, there were always there to help, they were always reachable to give advise. We have visit a lot of houses in France, and this was one of the best!

Amazing!

I cannot recommend La Vielle Ferme highly enough. We have stayed in this beautiful region of France the last few years, and this is our best experience. Andrew and Diana could not have been better hosts. If they offer a tour of the surrounding area in their 4x4, grab it! The house is amazing, website photos do not do it justice. Our group consisted of three families and the way the house is designed it is easy to section off into seperate areas for privacy. Everything inside and outside the house is finished to an exceptional standard, plenty of kitchen utensils, towels etc. which is unusual in rental properties. There are lots of fantastic towns and villages nearby to visit, the water sports and mountain- biking in St. Antonin worth checking out. Cordes-sur-ciel is one of the most beautiful villages we've been to and the closest village Varen is lovely too, it has a fantastic river for swimming in. Andrew and Diana provided us with lots of information and are so enthusiastic about the french way of life. We hope to return again soon..

Summer 2016

Couldn't have asked for better - the house inside and outside was ideal. Andrew and Diana were great with info pre- and post-arrival and being so close by popped by a few times to see how we were getting on and if we needed anything. We loved: - how well it accommodated 3 families (6 adults and 6 kids - aged 1-6) - pool, lawn and table tennis for endless kid entertainment - covered outdoor dining area which encouraged late night star gazing - beautiful views on all sides of open countryside - whilst being relatively secluded (car needed) there were lovely towns/ villages in easy reach (St Antonin Noble Val & Courdes) - local river based activities - we found kayaking and inflatables (life guarded) within 20 mins drive

"amazing" semaine ;)

Vieux corps de ferme restaurée avec goût et simplicité. Maison bien équipée, bien pensée et fonctionnelle ( qualité très apprécié avec un groupe de 12 personnes dont 7 enfants ). Correspond en tous points aux photos, et à la description du site, mais en beaucoup mieux. L’accueil des propriétaires avec une corbeille de produits locaux (melons, vins, fruits...) est à l'image de leur gentillesse. Présents mais pas du tout intrusifs, prodiguant moult conseils pour mieux connaitre la région et ses trésors. Notre hôte, c'est même prêté au jeu du guide touristique des lieux avec son " mini 4x4 ", afin de nous faire mieux connaitre les environs. ( Merci beaucoup Andrew ;) ) En résumé, et à l'avis de tous nous avons passé une merveilleuse semaine. Adresse à recommander et à consommer sans modération. A bientôt.

A 5* Star Farmhouse in a 5* Star location!

We stayed in La Vieille Ferme in June 2016 and found the farmhouse to be of exceptional quality and renovated to standard way beyond what one would expect of a holiday home. The owners Andrew and Diana were extremely helpful and they went out of their way to be as accommodating as possible which was much appreciated as we have a young child of 11 months and with their guidance we were able to visit places that otherwise we would never have found. La Vieille Ferme is a large farmhouse with six characterful bedrooms with three bathrooms all with vaulted ceilings and there was always a supply of hot water for the showers which is not always the case in rental properties. The swimming pool is large and secured by pool alarms with a perimeter fence and can only be accessed via a childproof locked gate which takes away the worry for parents with youngsters who cannot swim. Most unusual to find a rental property which supplies pool towels as well as bath towels and the washing machine in the utility room was a blessing which enabled us to return to the UK with no dirty washing. We sat most evening in the open barn eating dinner watching the sunsets which were truly incredible. When it fell dark we loved looking up into the clear skies counting shooting stars and were amazed by the beauty of the surrounding countryside and the medieval towns perched on the top of hills and the edge of gorges. We only stayed for a week and although the time passed quickly we all had such a fabulous time that we are already planning to return next year. The locals are friendly and polite, the villages are steeped in history, the river in Varen is special, the boulangerie has contributed to our expanding waistlines, the food and local produce found in the markets is fresh and tasty, the restaurants are inexpensive, the local Gaillac wine has to be sampled, kayaking from St.Antonin down the gorges is an experience not to be missed and La Vieille Ferme is without doubt the place to stay. Having rented numerous French rental properties over the years La Vieille Ferme is our firm favourite and we thoroughly recommend this property and the kindness of the owners to all future people considering staying here.

Our group consisted of 8 adults and 3 children, we had a lovely two week stay at La Vielle Ferme late August 2015. During the booking process Andrew and Diana were super helpful and gave us lots of information on sightseeing, shopping, restaurants, fishing, kayaking etc. At our request they also booked us into a restaurant for Sunday lunch which took the pressure of worrying about shopping at the start of our holiday. Andrew phoned me en-route to say we could get in to the farmhouse a little earlier than the scheduled 4pm arrival which was a blessing when travelling with young children. Upon arrival Andrew was there to greet us and show us around the farmhouse and explain what we needed to know and there was also a generous welcome pack of fruit, bread, milk , children’s drinks and most importantly wine. The farmhouse is set in lovely countryside, Cambou a small friendly hamlet of several farmhouses and a 2/3 minute drive into the town of Varen which has a bar, pharmacy, bakers, well stocked corner shop, pizzeria and a restaurant, there is another small town just as close called Verfeil which has a bar and restaurant which we sadly didn’t manage to visit during our stay. The farmhouse itself had ample parking for our 4 cars, as you enter through the garden you immediately see how big and spacious the house is, downstairs you have 1 bedroom, a well equipped kitchen/diner, sitting room, cloakroom, upstairs has five bedrooms and three bathrooms, all the bedrooms were spacious and the bathrooms have good power showers with plenty of hot water. Off the kitchen diner to one-side is a secure courtyard and utility area so no need to bring any dirty washing home! The other side of the kitchen/diner leads out to a large secure garden and fenced pool area which has plenty of loungers, chairs and is alarmed, we brought a paddling pool for the toddlers which proved very useful. The outside space is great for keeping a close eye on children and pet dogs, they can run around and there were no escapees during our fortnight. The garden has a covered area which has a large BBQ and a 12 seat dining table and chairs, it is well lit so great for evening drinks and alfresco dining, there is also a good table tennis table. Tarn et Garonne has some stunning towns and scenery to take in, you’ll get to see and do a lot in two weeks but by no means can you cover it all. Andrew and Diana are excellent hosts and really went the extra mile during our stay.
