Le Farat

An amazing location - tranquility at its finest, the accommodation and swimming pool are superb with great views over the surrounding countryside. Allison and Nick are superb hosts, with a wealth of local knowledge and suggestions for your stay. A ‘must stay’ location, if you want a break from the noise of everyday life, with a chance to unwind and sample a slower pace of life whilst exploring the south of France.

Our stay at Le Farat was beautiful, Allison and Nick were great hosts and were always on hand if needed. The gites and grounds were lovely and so peaceful. Shame we only stayed for a week

We spent a blissful few days in this wonderful, tranquil bed and breakfast, superbly equipped and in a beautiful location. Allison and Nick are terrific hosts; warm, friendly and welcoming. Comfortable bed, large, well-equipped living/dining room (with fridge and microwave). Well located, with a great restaurant just up the hill in the village, and 5 mins from Auvillar. Superb!

Allison and Nick have created a beautiful, comfortable and convenient haven with La Farat, set in a quiet corner of SW France. Their warm greeting, generous welcome basket of foods, wine, juice and milk were a delight upon arrival and their attention to our comfort and enjoyment continued throughout our week long stay in Maison du Solely. The surrounding countryside and nearby villages of Bardigues and Auvillar were stunning and our hosts are full of useful tips for day trips. If you're seeking peace and quiet, you could do no better than La Farat. We will be back!

We stayed in the B&B for 4 nights as R&R from a hectic family holiday (16 of us including 8 grandchildren!) further North. Our stay with Allison and Nick was just the tonic we needed. They are the most wonderful hosts and we felt welcome the moment we arrived. Le Farat is simply perfect; the tranquility of the countryside,punctuated only by the seasonal activities of the farming communty and yet you are within a couple of minutes of the lovely town of Auvillar. Lots of restaurant choice and our experience. There are many beautiful villages in the region & great restaurants. We will be back.

We had the most amazing time in Maison de Soleil in July. The Gite was perfect, had everything we could ask for and also stayed really cool during a number of 39-40C days. The lovely pool was very well used! Allison and Nick could not have been more kind, considerate and helpful. We had not been to that part of France before but it was stunning with some amazing hilltop villages and lakes and rivers to swim in. We will be going back to Le Farat and can’t recommend it highly enough. Thanks Allison and Nick.

We stayed in the Maison de Soleil, fabulous beamed ceilings and stone walls. Furnished to a high standard with statement bedroom furniture, comfortable beds and luxury bed linen. Every detail is carefully considered for the guest experience. The welcome pack filled with everything you would need on arrival with hams, cheeses, cake and wine! Allison and Nick are amazing hosts, a font of knowledge and always on hand. With the stunning autumnal scenery and the tinkle of Wilma's (the dog) reindeer bells this was a magical break in a beautiful location. Highly recommended.

We spent a peaceful week staying in the Pigeonnier house with our two young children. It was beautifully spacious and cool inside even when it was 39 C outside. Alison and Nick made us very welcome and had thought about all the details to make our stay comfortable, including a huge welcome pack with homemade cake and home grown fruit and veg. They'd made adaptations to keep things safe during covid, and the place was spotlessly clean. The gardens and grounds have lots of space for exploring, long views and a trampoline. and the pool is big and clean with more lovely views. Highly recommended

We stayed at Le Farat in the beautiful Maison de Soleil for 7 days in August 2019. Without a doubt this was the best holiday experience we have ever had in France. Alison and Nick couldn't be more welcoming and helpful. Both our kids (10 and 14 yrs) enjoyed it just as much as we did and absolutely loved the pool and games room. This is a great base from which to explore a stunning and unspoilt part of France. The gite was immaculately clean and very well provisioned - and to arrive with a selection of cheese, bread, wine and home grown produce plus a cake was very special - thanks A and N!

We stayed in La Maison du soleil, an elegant luxurious farm building conversion.We loved the huge, cool spacious bedrooms furnished with fabulous antiques and the most comfortable beds with exquisite linen plus the enormous Welcome Pack, a full-sized fridge, a decent sized freezer all in a superb kitchen. Everything was spotless, the saltwater pool was wonderful. The charm and elegance of the gite is outstanding, not to forget the delightful hosts, Alison and Nick.We arrived as strangers and were made to feel like visiting friends. Over many years probably the best gite we have used in France

We visited Le Farat in August with our two children aged 9 and 4. It is in a beautiful location and the games room and swimming pool went down a storm with our kids. The gite was immaculate and really well equipped. A real home from home. Le Farat is beautifully situated near Auvillar which is a really pretty town and has a super cafe with delicious crepes! Allison and Nick were perfect hosts, helpful, kind and well informed on the area and I have to say that Allison’s lemon drizzle cake is to die for! A lovely, relaxing holiday was had by all. I highly recommend it...

We've never been disappointed with Sawday's 'finds' over many years now and Le Farat, set in a staggeringly beautiful part of SW France, is no exception. We spent a few blissful early Autumn days in this airy B and B suite and can't recommend it highly enough. Every detail has been thought of to make your stay as comfortable and relaxing as possible-from a sumptuous bed and linens to home made jams at breakfast. Allison and Nick are welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable hosts who strike the right balance between being there if you need them and letting you enjoy your time in this lovely place.

We enjoyed a fabulous holiday at Le Farat with our two children aged 6 and 8. The gite was beautifully furnished and maintained to a very high standard. We loved the pool, and the trampoline and games room were very popular with the children. The spacious grounds gave a feeling of peace and relaxation. There is plenty to do in the surrounding area, and Allison and Nick were very helpful in recommending days out and restaurants, and assisting us in making reservations. In particular, I can recommend the Leisure Park at St Sardos which has activities to suit children of all ages.

We had a very relaxing week at Le Farat. Our gite was well furnished, clean and comfortable, the salt-water pool was lovely and the kids made good use of the well-equipped games room. Allison & Nick were excellent hosts, helpful and friendly and easy to find if we needed them. Auvillar and the surrounding area was pretty and quiet, but we also drove a bit further afield for a day kayaking on the Garonne. Would recommend.

A great place to stay! We've returned each year for the past seven and have found new reasons to enjoy staying there always. Our gite is decorated to a high specification and there is nothing that we are left wanting. Who could not adore relaxing around the swimming pool after a day of adventure in surrounding area. Auvillar is an attractive village nearby but the jewel in the crown is probably The Auberge de Bardigues, a restaurant situated in the little village on the hill top opposite Le Farat. This restaurant always produces a meal of gastronomical delight. Definitely a property to visit!

We have stayed in the lovely Maison dus Soleil for 2 weeks. Modern, stylish, comfortable beds, everything you could think of is there. The view from the terrace is wonderful and relaxing. We had a last minute, it was all arranged in a very short time. When we arrived late in the evening; fresh flowers on the table, welcome box, beds ready to sleep in. The owners Nick and Allison are welcoming and helpful in a very pleasant way. We all, including our dog, loved this special place. One of your best!

We had a glorious week at pretty Le Farat. It is full of character, space, classic furniture, a very comfortable bed and all the kitchen facilities you need for a self-catering holiday. Allison and Nick Feeley were wonderful hosts and were extremely helpful without being intrusive. They keep both the interiors and exteriors beautifully maintained and the salt water pool was wonderful. To us, this is one of France's prettiest regions with incredible views, great markets, historic towns, canal walks, fantastic fresh produce and friendly people. Great holiday and we'll be back next year.
