About this property

A Special Hideaway - Best enjoyed with family or friends!

** SUMMER RENTAL WEEKS 2025 ARE OPEN FOR BOOKINGS: SAT-SAT FROM JULY 26 THROUGH AUGUST 30 (OR 31) **

The centuries-old but fabulously renovated "The Happy Hamlet" invites you to enjoy the charming ambiance and beautiful decor, stunning surrounding nature, sunshine of the southwest of France and the starry skies that only a spot isolated enough can offer.

This is not the typical house or bed&breakfast that you book for a good night's sleep and relaxation by the pool. We offer a unique ambiance and an experience that goes way beyond the need of lodging. The Hamlet is a property full of charm surrounded by wild nature, peace and calm. The tranquil southwestern French countryside is one of the best kept secrets in France, which is why we can still enjoy the authentic French "Joie de Vivre" (or Joy of life). Dinners al fresco, rolling hills and sunflower fields, medieval villages and farmers' markets (meals made from fresh local food and wine) really do make a difference!

Five large beautifully decorated bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms (each with a window) can host up to 15 guests in the Guest House. The majestic barn has been renovated with preserving as much of the old as possible yet keeping modern comfort in mind. With a fully equipped kitchen, a lounge with a piano and games, several dining areas and stunning views over the valley it holds plenty of space for even larger groups and get-togethers.

Most important for any stay is the Hamlet property that stretches outdoors with over 30 acres (13 hectares) of own land; woods, prairies, valley, even bamboos. Nothing more recharging than a walk out in the wild nature. You can also enjoy the fresh water in the natural swimming pool (no chlorite nor other chemicals!) or relax in the sauna in a barrel with amazing views of the greenery (or thousands of stars if taken by night).

A peaceful hideaway

The property is ideal for groups of friends or family. The bedrooms are large and very pleasant, all with en-suite shower rooms. The living space, in a separate barn, is huge and bright with several dining areas and a semi-professional cooking area, which saw a lot of fun team cooking. Outside we made full use of the several dining and relaxing spaces, which allowed for time together or time apart as well. The natural pool is set in an enchanting secluded wooded environment and is very peaceful. We also made much use of the boule pitch, which saw many raucous matches. Thank you Suska and Nico for your great welcome

Un petit coin de paradis

Il est difficile de trouver les mots pour décrire l'expérience d'une semaine au Happy Hamlet...! Nous avons passé une semaine exceptionnelle, accueillis avec sympathie par Suska et Nicolas. Profiter d'un endroit aussi calme et ressourçant que le Happy Hamlet est une grande chance. On ne se lasse pas d'admirer la vue depuis la piscine, de dîner sous les lampions et d'observer les étoiles en sortant (ou pas) du sauna. La déco est raffinée, chaque chambre a son âme et l'on sent que tous les objets ont été choisis avec précision et soin. On se sent enveloppés dans cette atmosphère idyllique, et cela est sans compter les talents culinaires dont on peut profiter avec la table d'hôtes. Merci Suska et Nico, on plane encore un peu !

Magnifique gîte pour un WE au calme!

The Happy Hamlet est un havre de paix où il fait bon passer quelques jours en famille ou entre amis. Suska et Nicolas sont des hôtes attentionnés. Les chambres sont grandes, magnifiquement décorées et chacune possède une salle de bain privative. Le domaine possède plusieurs terrasses et lieux de vie, des hamacs, un sauna pour 4 personnes. Seule la piscine (bassin naturel) nous a un peu déçu en raison des algues présentes au fond (aucune incidence sur la pureté de l’eau mais l’effet visuel n’est pas à la hauteur des photos, et les algues sont glissantes). Malgré ce désagrément, les lieux restent magiques. Je recommande cette location sans hésitation!
