Home description

A delightful two bedroom beamed cottage that sleeps 5. It is fully equipped, has private parking and rockery garden, there is a superb viewpoint and picnic terrace which overlooks the gorges of the viaur river.

Chill out by the heated swimming pool which is accessible to cottage guests during daytime hours. Sunbeds are provided exclusively for you so you never have to reserve any! Take one of the marked walks that start directly from the property, all in an area of outstanding natural beauty. The cottage is managed by English speaking owners who are on site. Uniquely Ararat is a green holiday. The site has solar power, solar hot water and pool heating, and emissions are offset by investments into renewable energy projects. Energy saving devices are installed throughout the site and water is collected and stored. More information is available on site.

The Midi-Pyrenees / Tarn region

The Tarn is an area of outstanding natural beauty with winding gorges, steep hills and woodland. The climate is hot, dry and sunny in the summer and cold and dry in the winter. The area is surrounded by Bastide towns (walled, medieval towns) which contain a rich history and have retained much of their orginial character. Access throught the area is good as roads are well developed.

However, the village does offer ecxellent local facilities such as an English speaking restaurant and Bar, village shop, boulangerie, Post Office and Pharmacy. The village doctor is always at hand can generally see anyone should the need arise within a short waiting period.
