La Borde Basse

We had a lovely break at La Borde Basse, and congratulate you for having made such very well thought out and restful home. Thank you too for being so responsive to our queries during the stay. There was much to enjoy in the garden and pool - Oscar especially enjoyed meeting little green frogs, deer, butterflies, many crickets and grasshoppers. We also saw hares, fox, and heard pied flycatchers, nuthatches and several woodpeckers. Thank you too for your many information sheets, everything was very clear and organised, and your friendly team seemed to go about their work very efficiently.

We had a wonderful time, thank you very much! If I were to pick a single word to sum it up for the grownups it would be 'relaxing' which was exactly what we all needed and a very rare thing to achieve with the children!! The children had a brilliant time and so together with the house and grounds and location it made for a really good holiday all round! We were also extremely taken with Castlenau-Montratier - what a fantastic village you have just up the road.

We have had lovely days here and a wonderful holiday. We are so glad you share La Borde Basse - it is a remarkable place. Thank you so much.

A truly sublime spot for a family holiday. The gardens are a dream, giving a true sense of peace and tranquility. The views from the terraces are hypnotic. The farmhouse , built in 1834 is comfortable, with loads of 'olde worlde' charm. This comfortable family holiday home is ideal for multi-generational holidays, with a little something for everyone to enjoy - the pool, the grounds, the wildlife.

We have thoroughly enjoyed a very happy week at La Borde Basse. Wall to wall sunshine & many adventures. St Antonin-Noble-Val was absolutely perfect. We took a picnic & paddled our way down the river. We mentioned your name & we got a 10% discount! We also visited the lovely family of fruit farmers on the west side of Castelnau-Montratier & they were quite delightful & sold us the most delicious apricots along with apples, greengages, melons & nectarines. Huge thanks to you both and we very much hope to return to your beautiful home again.

We had the MOST wonderful time at La Borde Basse, thank you so much, your house is beautiful, and the views are just stunning we really did have an incredible week. Don’t worry - I did read the note in the house so we were watering the plants! We did have a little rain (always at night though!) so they should pretty healthy.

Back again! Just so hard to resist the call of the countryside views and comfort of the house. The weather has been amazing and we were pleasantly surprised by how much more we enjoyed our swim with the change to salt water. We have such a great time every time we come and still feel a sense of achievement if we manage to keep the pool cover lined up when reeling it up! Thank you Martin and Fiona for opening up your gorgeous home and allowing others to share in its comfort and beauty.

This was our 3rd visit to La Borde Basse and I’m sure it won’t be our last. The weather was mixed for the first week but dry and hot for the second. Villa was clean and tidy as previous visits. We tried the go-kart racing track just outside Cahors, on the entrance road to the A20 – well worth a visit. Many memorable meals in the village and Lauzerte. We look forward to returning soon.

I can’t say enough good things about La Borde Basse. No detail has been overlooked with everything one could ask for in the way of comfort & amenities. The location is stunning & sitting on the terrace in the evening listening to the frogs in the pond was so relaxing. Very comfortable beds with nice linen & towels, and plenty of hot water. So much to see nearby with St. Antonin-Noble-Val being one of our favourites along with the Gardens of Erignac.
