About this property

L’Impasse du Temple - Superb Holiday House, 5+ beds, beautiful gardens, pool

L’Impasse du Temple - A Special Holiday Home
This beautiful 18th century classical French maison de maïtre in Léran offers you 5 plus fully ensuite and spacious bedrooms. They have their own special colours and views, all with queen-size beds and beautiful bed linen. Although the house offers 14 beds we are offering this select holiday accommodation for between 8 and 10 guests.
The house offers everything your friends and family need for the perfect holiday. A spacious and well-equipped kitchen is ideal for those who want to use the wonderful local produce. Relax in the evening in the spacious lounge with large screen smart television, a huge selection of DVD's, books board games and a piano. For indoor meals
There is a special dining room adjacent to the kitchen but in summer use the courtyard for al fresco dining. This secluded and special space was a former protestant chapel and is perfect for warm summer evenings.
The garden is set apart from the main house across the impasse du Temple. Relax under the shade of the many trees, or throw yourself into the salt water pool and then finish that chapter under the umbrella. Roses, lavender, and basil warmed by the summer sun will waft around you as you unwind from your busy life.
The house is central to this no-frills village but is close to so many areas of interest, including Cathar chateaux, walking and riding paths, Lac de Montbel (2 kms), the foothills of the Pyrenees. So many attractions, and perhaps not enough time.

Ladies Trip
We were four friends, including two sisters, who have travelled together in the past and all of whom love France. We were not disappointed by this wonderful old house - spacious, atmospheric, furnished with beautiful old pieces and yet one of the most well appointed rentals we have ever taken. In addition to the house, the large garden was a delight to explore and the pool was a good size to cool off in or do lengths. We loved the simple village and there was so much to see and do in the surrounding countryside - the keen swimmers amongst us especially enjoyed Lac Montbel close by. Our hosts couldn’t have been more helpful and I would wholeheartedly recommend L’Impasse du Temple. We would certainly come again!

About the host

Hosted by John and Lee-anne Furness

Host profile image
We left Australia in 1999 to open a B & B in France and in doing so fulfilled a dream to live in Europe. Coming to France they left behind rich and varied employment in teaching, career counselling, marketing, book editing, management, music, commercial cooking and catering. We can now add construction, renovation, and hospitality to that list. After completing the renovations to their new home in France, L'Impasse du Temple was opened in May 2000. Over these 20 plus years we have welcomed thousands of people into our home but overseeing the running of the house as a large group holiday rental is just the change we are looking forward to. The same high standards will be in place but we will let others live in our home whilst we take a discrete back step. We still live on the property in separate accommodation but our profile is very low. We love the history of this house and are proud second owners. We also love this area of France, relatively unknown, but perhaps guarding its treasures well because of that.

Why they chose this property

L'impasse du Temple provides a perfect basis for any type of holiday. Close enough to main towns and cities for transport links or shopping trips, near enough to the mountains for a day's skiing, and well positioned for day trips to the Mediterranean Sea, Spain and Andorra. The active holiday maker is spoilt for choice. This area is criss crossed with bike paths from gentle tracks to demanding hill and mountain climbs. Walkers can follow GR routes, and the St Jacques de Compostelle paths. Other activities in the vicinity include horse riding, bike hire, tennis courts, ultra light flights, sailing, go-karting, fishing, mountain climbing and abseiling, rope climbing courses, yoga classes and photography courses.
For those who wish to take life at a gentler pace many of the walks from the village allows one to wander rather than set a marching pace. Stroll along the tree lined road passed the Chateau de Léran, or along the river. Don't feel any guilt about being indolent. That holiday read beckons. Choose a spot by the pool and enjoy. For the history buffs, you are in Cathar country. Mont Segur can be seen from the road into the village. Short but scenic drives can help you discover that chateau as well as Roquefixade, Foix and Puivert with their associated museums. There are some notable churches as well. The Grotte de Niaux is probably the best known cave in this area but it is one of many that are open to visitors as is the underground river system at LaBouiche. The Prehistoric Park is full of interest for both children and adults alike, and there is a restaurant and picnic area provided.

What makes this property unique

L'impasse du Temple is perfect for the holiday maker because it has the space that a large group of holiday makers require. All the bedrooms are spacious and light. Pack away your holiday clothes and settle into your special room. Each bedroom has private bathroom facilities. There is room to move, places to sit, comfortable beds with quality bed linen, soft bathroom towels, a room to call your own.

There is a piano, board games, library or just a space for some quiet reading. The dining room has seating for 10 and plenty of space for sharing a relaxed meal. The kitchen offers all a chef would need and has plenty of plateware and cutlery, preparation and serving dishes and a large capacity dish washer with a fast cycle.
The exterior area has an enclosed and private courtyard with an outdoor table and seating. The terrace which leads onto the garden has the barbecue and additional seating. The large and established garden is bordered by a gentle creek. The heated salt water pool (10 by 5M) has graceful entrance steps and a pool alarm. The owners do stress though that children are to be supervised at all times. Sun loungers, umbrellas, pool towels are all available for guests. Borrow the boules or the tennis rackets, choose something to read from the library, grab a cool drink and settle in. This is your holiday and this is the holiday home for you.
