L'Etable - Cottage that overlooks miles of woodland
THE PROPERTY
L'Etable comprises of 1 bedroom on the mezzanine and the sitting room that looks out over the swimming pool to the expansive countryside. The house is perfect for a couple but can accommodate one more person on a clic-clac in the living room.
The kitchen is equipped with modern appliances including an induction stove, combination microwave / oven, large fridge freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. The dining table comfortably seats 4 as does the living space. The bathroom offers a modern shower. The upstairs bedroom is accessed via a modern spiral staircase. The private terrace is decked out with lounges and is only meters from the pool.
For the colder seasons, L'Etable has a wood burner, central heating and a heated towel rail in the shower room, making it a cosy retreat for the snowy or autumn periods.
Please note, guests need to buy their own firewood. It will not be provided.
L'Etable shares a large 15 metre pool with one other Gite. Please note the pool is open from 1st June - 30th September and is an ambient temperature. The pool may be heated on request however this will incur an additional daily charge for which the guests will be responsible.
Guests can sit on the terrace overlooking the pool, lay by the pool and also have access to lawns, table tennis and play ground that are shared with 3 other gites on the large property.

LOCATION
L'Etable is in the quiet village of Puyjourdes. Visiting the charming Market towns of Cajarc and Limogne both of which are 10 kilometers away and have markets on Saturday and Sunday respectively. Other towns to visit include Villeneuve-du-Rouergue, St.-Cirq-Lapopie and Figeac where Champollion of Rosetta Stone fame was born.
To work off the good food and take a break from the pool there are plenty of Road and Mountain Bike riding paths around the village and in the wider LOT region. Our favourite is the bike and walking track to Carjac. Horse riding, walking, kayaking, swimming, water skiing, caving, climbing, parapenting are all within a easy drive or bike ride. A favourite of the kids (from 7 to 70 !!) is the rope course with various levels of difficulty finishing with a flying fox over the lake. All of these are within 15 kilometres.
