Wonderful chateau with amazing hosts

In many, many years of visiting France, this was the best villa we have rented and definitely the best hosts. Keith and Karen go beyond what is expected to ensure you have a great stay. The chateau is spacious and very well equipped. We loved the fire pit, the film night, the pizza oven. Nothing was too much trouble… the kids enjoyed seeing the vintage cars. The pool was big enough for our “family olympics”. We loved the local food producers evening on Monday. We were surprised by the local area and enjoyed canoeing, chateau visits, medieval towns and some very artistic walks. Food in local restaurants was reasonably priced. With 12 of us staying we never felt crowded as there is so much space and so much to do. We never mastered the unicycle but tried the tandem and other bikes and the table tennis was well used. This trip far exceeded expectations… we would highly recommend it and are not surprised that there are a lot of returning customers. Many thanks for all your efforts!

We loved every minute of our stay at Manor House in Lacroix Barrez. It is a beautiful house that is extremely well equipped and the owners are generous and very friendly. The house has a lovely style with lots of space and chic decoration. The kitchen is a joy to cook in. In addition there is a gym and "man cave" with a pool table that our teenagers loved. Outside, there is a luxurious swimming pool, barbecue, pizza oven and hot tub. Keith and Karen are helpful, kind and were a useful source of information on local amenities and places to visit. The region has sites of extreme beauty to see and we thoroughly recommend this house in Lacroix Barrez and we hope to visit it again.

A wonderful week - thank you!

We had a brilliant week. The house is comprehensively equipped, with plenty for everyone to do. Keith and Karen were excellent hosts, with plenty of tips on places to visit, places to eat and things to do. Everything was spotlessly clean, and we enjoyed the large grounds, the lovely pool and much more. Wholeheartedly recommended for a stay with family and friends. Thank you!

Family time

We are a family of parents, grown up kids, their partners, grandchildren and 2 dogs. We had a great week at The Manor. The weather was not great but that did not spoil anything. The house and grounds are big enough and well presented to keep everyone happy. Keith and Karen were super hosts. They were there when we needed them and kept away when we did not. We had total privacy. Our grandchildren loved feeding the horses. We all loved the space. On a stormy day we played games and enjoys the pool table and table football in the well laid out basement. The village was 2 minutes walk and it was great to walk for bread and croissants in the morning. I would recommend The Manor for a family holiday.

Excellentes vacances entre amis

Nous étions 6 couples d’amis venant des quatre coins de France et nous nous sommes retrouvés au manoir dans un cadre calme et reposant, où nous avons pu profiter des ballades aux alentours, la proximité du centre du village, les équipements loisirs de la maison, et des propriétaires très à l’écoute, nous recommandons !!

Séjour parfait dans un lieu fantastique !

Karen et Keith ont été formidables ! Le manoir est fantastique, et tout est fait pour que l'on se sente chez soi : décorations de Noël, table dressée, ambiance chaleureuse... Nous avons séjourné à 12, et avons pu apprécier des moments tous ensemble dans le salon/la salle à manger, mais aussi des moments plus tranquilles grâce aux différents espaces qu'offre le manoir. La cuisine est très fonctionnelle, et nous a permis de préparer un grand diner pour le réveillon. Le terrain est immense, et très bien entretenu : notre chien était ravi de pouvoir profiter de tout cet espace. Karen et Keith ont su se rendre disponibles quand nous en avons eu besoin, et nous avons pris plaisir à faire connaissance avec eux. Encore merci pour ce séjour !

Excellent séjour dans un domaine d’exception !

Nous avons séjourné au manoir en famille. Ce fut une semaine très agréable. La piscine et le jardin sont superbes. Un grand nombre d’animations sont disponibles sur place : ping-pong, badminton, prêt de vélo, boules de pétanques, billard, salle de sport … les chambres sont toutes agréables et la literie confortable. Les hôtes sont des gens charmants qui vous aident à vous sentir à la maison. A refaire !

Superbe manoir dans le nord de l'Aveyron

Très belle demeure dans un joli parc arboré. Plaisir de se retrouver entre amis autour de la piscine ou à la fraiche autour de la table de billard. Merci à Keith et Karen pour leur accueil et leurs conseils pour découvrir la région ou trouver des bonnes tables.

Très beau manoir, parfait pour une échappée au calme

Demeure très belle et très grande. Parfait pour un séjour entre amis ou en famille. En hiver, nous n'avons pas pu profiter de la piscine et du jacuzzi, mais l'intérieur est très agréable avec une belle cuisine bien équipée, 1 grande salle à manger, 2 salons de plus petites tailles, 1 salle de jeux en bas, etc. Les lits sont de très bonne qualité et les salles de bain / WC bien répartis. Grand jardin, avec 2 beaux chevaux, et, belles balades à faire dans les villages environnants.

To The Manor Born!

Reading the other reviews it has all been said before. The house was fabulous and without fault and the hosts were without question the most accommodating we have ever come across. The best compliment we can give is that we were unable to say goodbye so booked for three weeks next summer before our departure. This made the leaving less painful! So Keith and Karen it is 'Jusqu'à l'année prochaine' x (The Best of Dublin)

First impression was WOW!!

We booked this villa for our family holiday with our best friends hoping that the photos were not 'too good to be true' as we have been mistaken before. However that could not have been further from the truth. From the moment we arrived, everything was fantastic. Keith and Karen could not have been more attentive, without being intrusive. They were there to help if ever we needed them, and had some great ideas and suggestions to help us make the most of the holiday. Everything described in the listing was accurate but does not do justice to how wonderful this property and these owners are. Would definitely recommend this to families looking for a fantastic holiday, and we will be back as soon as we can.

Super séjour en famille dans un gite de rêve au calme, loin du bruit.... En détail, la description sur le site est fidèle à la réalité il faudrait par contre que les propriétaires mettent plus de photos car il y à beaucoup d'autres choses à voir dans la propriété qui pourrait faire envie d'y aller. Il y à tout ce dont on peu avoir besoin pour une famille nombreuse.(nous étions 12) vaisselle, four, micro onde, lave et sèche linge, machine à café, machine a glaçons, grand frigo américain avec plein de place + congélateur, barbecue à gaze, chaises longues, table intérieur et extérieur. Les chambres en grande partie spacieuse. celles du dernier étage un peu plus petite mais pour des vacances, bien assez grande. 3 salles de bains dont une avec bain a remous et grande douche et 3 wc. L'espace intérieur comme extérieur est très vaste. La piscine de bonne taille, les jardins bien entretenus. La location est propre, bien entretenue, intérieur et extérieur. étant donné que c'était en plein été et que les locataires se succèdent je troue que c'est très propre. Les propriétaires super sympa, agréable, présent et à l'écoute mais discrets. Nous avions un petit enfant et ils nous ont proposé des bouées, jouets pour le petit. De plus vu qu'ils vivent sur place dans une maison tout à coté du gite, ils sont là à tout moment si les locataires ont besoin de quelque chose. C'est une très jolie région, très campagnarde, pas de grand centre commercial à proximité. Il y à cependant un magasin à quelques kilomètres de là qui permet de trouver ce dont on à besoin pour cuisiner durant les vacances. Il y à également un marché le jeudi matin avec pleins de produits du terroirs. A 100 m du gite un petit magasin permet de trouver des produits de première nécessité ainsi que du pain frais le matin. Il y a aussi un bureau de tabac. Nous avons été enchantés de cette semaine de vacance. Le petit point négatif serait les guêpes... beaucoup de guêpes dans le région, mais cela n'est pas la faute des propriétaires car il y en avait dans tout le village. Ceci dit nous n'avons pas été piqués, et le propriétaire met tout en oeuvre pour les canaliser.

Wir wollten Südfrankreich kennenlernen und haben uns hier her 'verirrt' Was für ein Empfang durch das freundliche Ehepaar ! Was für ein geschmackvoll eingerichtetes Haus! Die Schlafzimmer haben jedes sein eigenes Ambiente, die Badezimmer sind stilvoll und vor allem auf neuestem Standard und sauber. Der Aufenthaltsraum lässt keine Wünsche offen und die Küche ist für selbstverpfleger ideal. Wir haben bereits für das nächste Jahr gebucht um mit unserer Familie unseren runden Geburtstag zu feiern. Die Umgebung gibt uns viel zu erkunden die Landschaft ist phantastisch. Danke für ein paar tolle Tage hier Gerhard und Rita F. aus stuttgart

In petit Peru du paradis

Glorious in every respect. The setting and surrounding countryside is fantastic. The Leatherbarrows must be the most hospitable hosts ever. The stay was huge fun especially the kayaking trip and the village organised walk/run to the stunningly situated Chateau du Avalon. The village hall shindig afterwards was a hoot even though it was conducted in French and we had no idea what was going on! Fantastic!

Magnifique!

We have stayed at the Manor House several times over the past few years and have yet to be disappointed. From travelling with teenagers and pulling in all the local attractions, including the Millau Bridge, to a quiet weekend away to escape the hustle and stress of our working lives, Lacroix Barrez has it all. The setting is idyllic, the house roomy with all your home comforts and more (unfortunately we've no pool at home!) and the location perfect for exploring rural France at its best. As hosts, Keith and Karen are warm and friendly and on hand to provide advice or help with anything you require but can also be invisible if peace, tranquility and solitude are the order of the day. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending families or groups of varying sizes to stay hear to enjoy one of the best holiday experiences possible. We shall definitely be returning.

What an amazing stay!!!

We had heard of the property through a personal recommendation - we are so glad that we took it up because this was wonderful place to stay!!! An idyllic setting, and a genuinely lovely traditional French property - baroque styling, lovely grounds and aspect, and makes wonderful place to stay for large groups (or smaller ones!) The property itself is set in a nice village and the house is tastefully furnished. The cottage has also been furnished to a high standard and although we did not stay in same, it would make an ideal retreat for a small family etc. All the necessary amenities are provided and overall it was a most relaxing and enjoyable stay. A final word to Keith and Karen, who are courteous owners and handled the whole booking process most efficiently.

Review of Lacroix Barrez

This is the most beautiful holiday destination that we have ever stayed in. The house, the gardens, the pool, the village, the Gorges du Lot, it has it all. And that is without mentioning the generosity and kindness of the owners, Keith and Karen. They treat their guests as friends and are so helpful in ensuring that their guests are having a great time. The house has it all. It is so good that we have stayed there five successive years. We have had such wonderful memories with our parents and our children in this beautiful home. If you manage to book the Manoir in Lacroix Barrez you will have the Gods and the sun shining on you!!!
