Beautiful 3 bedroom barn in large private gardens, with heated swimming pool
Grange Pierre has been lovingly restored to create a perfect holiday location from what was originally three separate but attached buildings. The delightful three bedroom Grange Pierre is spacious and traditional and is attached to the the six-bedroom Farmhouse. Tastefully furnished and equipped this property can sleep up to 6, with space for one cot if required, in addition. The large heated swimming pool (10m x 5m) is always a big hit with any group. Next to the pool there is a large pool-house which can seat 16-plus for dinner, and contains two fridges for chilling those essential day-time or evening drinks. The pool-house also has a large charcoal barbeque. The pool lies within large and lush grounds - beautiful old trees and spacious lawns surround the property. In all, there are over two hectares of grounds, with a local farmer farming the adjoining field. There is a small shaded terrace area for the private use of the Grange. The property is beautifully appointed with highly quality furniture and furnishings and the houses are child-friendly - no need to feel that the kids can't enjoy themselves for fear of damaging something, although please take care with very small children on the steep staircase to the Grange Pierre. A stair gate is available on request. The kitchen is well appointed with a full range of equipment and utensils to keep the domestic chef happy! A large capacity range cooker is ideally suited to catering for all the guests. Nearby, Mirepoix is a town of 3,500 people, but is bursting with activity throughout the summer, including cultural festivals and fete's. It has a large number of restaurants and bars - more than most people could possibly visit during a two-week holiday! It also has a range of small and unique shops and a number of antique shops and flea markets - something for everyone. Slightly further afield is Carcassonne, the world famous Unesco World Heritage site, founded in Medieval times and a centre for Cathar history. Numerous other Cathar castles dot the landscape and lead to the Pyrenees to the south. Vineyards abound within 20 minutes of Pouroutounat, and only a few minutes walk away is one branch of the famous and ancient Chemin de St Jacques - the pilgrims way to Santiago de Compostella on the NW coast of Spain. Pouroutounat is a fabulous location for large family groups or reunions, groups of friends or common-interest groups (walkers, cyclists, nature lovers). You will go away feeling relaxed or re-energised - the choice is yours entirely.

Lovely place to stay in a beautiful region of France
The barn conversion was a comfortable and characterful place to stay, and a good base for exploring the surrounding area. Our visit included 13,000 year old cave paintings and touring medieval Cathar forts. Jon and Vicky (the hosts) were very friendly and helpful offering tips and suggestions (and cake!). Mirepoix is a lovely old town (check what day the food market is on before booking, as we didn't and missed out!).

About the host
Hosted by Jon and Vicky Rankin
Jon and Vicky married in 2018, and have long shared a desire to live in southern France. Jon worked in the travel and tourism industry for many years and brings his extensive experience of working and living around the world to the Mirepoix area, and hopes to provide you with memorable experiences to take away with you. Vicky worked in educational publications for a number of years, but loves gardens and plants and has found her spiritual home in this house. Vicky was born and raised in Surrey, England, whilst Jon was raised in many places around the world, including the Caribbean and the South Pacific - but both of them are completely at home in France. With 5 children between them, they appreciate the importance of quality family holidays - as well as holidays with groups of friends.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with this property the moment we saw it.
It has been run as a successful holiday business for 8 years by the previous owners, who have retired to a house just 3km down the road. They have renovated the property to a very high standard, and we intend to continue (and build on) their legacy. They have many happy customers and testimonials from previous years, and we intend to help their wonderful vision continue for many years. The house has so many unique aspects, and a few hidden surprises, and we loved it immediately. Most of all we love the location, close to the town, but in the countryside, with stunning gardens and wonderful nature all around.
We look forward to welcoming you, and making this home a special memory for you.
What makes this property unique
The pool area is the undoubted highlight of the property. Many happy hours have been spent in (and around) the heated pool and pool-house. The grounds were beautifully landscaped many years ago and have produced a range of spectacular trees, including a most stunning Mulberry tree. The proximity to the city of Mirepoix, Carcassonne, the Pyrenees, and the Mediterranean gives clients the opportunity to choose something exciting and different to do and somewhere different and exciting to go every day. The property can be rented as a three bedroom Barn, a six bedroom Farmhouse, or the combined 9 bedroom property for exclusivity. By renting the entire property, you will have exclusive use of the swimming pool. It can also be rented for other times throughout the year, and longer rentals in the off-season will benefit from attractive discounts. This makes skiing in the winter an attractive and cost effective option. The size of the rooms, and the location (close to a small city) combined with the stunning gardens, make this a perfect destination for your special holiday.
