About this property

Beautiful Stone Farmhouse With Heated Pool And Views Across Rolling Countryside

Our house, Barusclet, is a traditional farmhouse, and is extremely spacious. There are 5 bedrooms (a 6th can be made by using the small salon as a bedroom), 4 bathrooms and a cloakroom in the main house. A 6th/7th bedroom, accessed from a separate entrance, with en-suite is available at an extra cost, which means we can accomodate up to 17 people. (the main house cannot accomodate more than 15 people due to fire regulations). The rooms all have great character with lovely exposed beams and stone walls. One shower room is on the ground floor which will help those who would rather not negotiate stairs, or wheelchair users. Please enquire for exact details if this applies to you.
There is a large fenced saline heated pool (12x6m) with a terrace, shaded canopy and plenty of loungers, looking out over the garden, fields and woods. Also a large games room and plenty of outside space to explore; over 40 acres in fact. The locality is rich in history, and there are many pretty medieval villages within easy reach. We also supply bicycles to help you explore! Our farmhouse is situated down a long track off a quiet country road. We are 3km from the village of Gondrin. Here you will find a boulangerie, boucherie, small supermarket, 2 bars, 2 restaurants, pizza takeaway and tourist information. The village also has a huge outdoor pool, with lots of fun for all the family, and a tennis court. The larger towns of Condom and Eauze are 15 mins by car and they offer larger supermarkets and plenty of cafes and restaurants.
Our beautiful swimming pool is heated, and is normally open from April to October. Do check with us if this is important to you as there may be some flexibility on those dates.
The house plans are included near the end of our photos. They are not very clear if you look at them via your mobile, so please either access them via a laptop or ask us to send them to you at full resolution.

French countryside stay
Wonderful stay in beautiful property with extensive grounds. All rooms are authentically decorated and impeccably maintained. The free cycles are a great addition making it easy to explore the local countryside, villages and vineyards (wine tasting). The large games room provided hours of entertainment and the lounge/dining room with log burner, a comfortable retreat for cosy autumn evenings. Gill & Mark are amazing welcoming hosts.

Fabulous brilliantly equipped house
We all absolutely loved our stay at Barrusclet. The house is spacious, very comfortable and brilliantly equipped, in a beautiful setting. The kids (ranging in age from 7-16) all absolutely loved it and made great use of the games room, the perfect pool and all the bikes. We enjoyed lovely bike rides to pretty villages, tennis and some great local markets. We highly recommend and hope to get back some time.

Super spot for a family holiday
We enjoyed a lovely week at this gorgeous farmhouse. The grounds are extensive and facilities are impressive. Our girls enjoyed the pool and the games room and we all enjoyed long leisurely meals around the dining table in the garden. We would not hesitate to recommend.

Beautiful house with a magnificent garden
We’ve really enjoyed the week at Barrusclet. The house is beautiful and it stayed nicely cool when it was quite hot outside. The kitchen is complete with glasses coffeemachine cutlery etc and therefore its easy to cook nice meals. The bedrooms and bathrooms have everything you need. The garden is amazing. The property is very child friendly. Mark and Gill are excellent hosts. They were friendly, helpful and very approachable. They arranged for example 4 baby cots for us and two baby chairs! Thank you for everything! We would love to come back someday!

The greatest pool ever!
Gill and Mark were fabulous hosts. The house swallowed up 14 people spanning 3 generations easily. The facilities were faultless. Having so many bikes- even tag-a-longs and kids seats, was amazing and some lovely, quiet routes. But the pool is were we spent a lot of time. It's huge and warmed to the perfect temperature, we could hardly keep the kids out!

About the host

Hosted by Gill and Mark Wooldridge

Host profile image
Hi there. We are Gill and Mark, proud and lucky owners of a beautiful Gascon farmhouse. We have been married for over thirty years, and have two grown up sons. We share our time between the Gers in Southwest France and the West Midlands, UK. We enjoy being outdoors, cycling, walking, skiing and playing tennis. I like to cook, read and play the piano, and Mark likes to have a 'project' on the go. We both like to entertain and spend time with our family and friends. Our farmhouse is a place where we can do all the above, and more. The warm climate and tranquility are a tonic to our busy English lives.

Why they chose this property

Mid-forties, mid-life crisis! Love affair perhaps? Yes, but a love affair with another country and culture, with another place. A cold, dismal, wet February, and we are in Gascony meeting an estate agent. We have taken total leave of our senses and are trudging round houses and land, some grand, some homely, and some barely habitable. Finally, at the end of a long track off a quiet country lane, we find a stone farmhouse. There are trees growing on the inside, the walls are tumbling in, and nature is rampantly reclaiming her territory. We are captivated. What an adventure to embark upon. Two years later and there has been a transformation. A stone farmhouse with pale green shutters, surrounded by tranquil countryside welcomes her first guests. We love the pace and simplicity of rural life here.

What makes this property unique

The Gers is an unspoilt destination, well served by several airports, and good road links. The countryside is wonderful, with endless vineyards and sunflowers. It is a very relaxing destination, but there is also a huge variety of things to do within easy reach. Some people have loved the location so much that they have barely left the grounds, lazing by the pool, reading, happy with friends or their own company. Others have set to and visited villages and monuments, vineyards and restaurants, gone horse-riding, go-carting, played golf and tennis, and then come home for a cool dip in the pool. The games room is a great bonus on a wet day. There is something for everyone here. Generally the summer evenings are lovely enough to sit out until late and watch the stars come out one by one.
