From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the beauty of the property and the warm welcome we received from the gracious owners. Our party of 19, including adults, teenagers, and babies, found this stunning estate to be the perfect setting for a memorable and relaxing holiday. The welcome pack was gratefully received &#8211; and the chocolate milk didn&#8217;t last long \ud83d\ude42 and the communication prior to our arrival was amazing<\/p>\n<p>The manoir and gite were both beautifully appointed, combining rustic charm with modern amenities. The rooms were spacious, elegantly decorated, and immaculately clean, ensuring that every member of our diverse group felt comfortable and at ease. From the picturesque views of the surrounding countryside to the luxurious bedding and well-equipped kitchens, we couldn&#8217;t have asked for more comfortable and enjoyable lodging.<\/p>\n<p>The Manoir&#8217;s and Gites amenities were nothing short of fantastic. The swimming pool was a big hit with both the teenagers and adults, offering a refreshing escape from the summer heat. For the little ones, the owners had thoughtfully arranged a safe and fun play area with table tennis and swing set, keeping them happily entertained throughout our stay. The extensive gardens provided a picturesque backdrop for leisurely strolls and are kept to perfection, and we even had a chance to enjoy a barbecue in the outdoor dining area. This is an excellent space for group gatherings and activities. We loved spending time together in the spacious living areas, playing games, and sharing stories and dining on the terrace,\u00a0 The fully equipped kitchen in the made it easy for us to prepare meals for our large party, and the dining area was perfect for family-style dinners and celebrations.<\/p>\n<p>Safety is obviously top of mind with an alarm fitted in the pools \u2013 which gave us so much ease with the toddlers running around.The highlight of our experience was undoubtedly the exceptional hospitality of the owners. From the moment we booked our stay, they went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic holiday. They were attentive to our needs, providing helpful local recommendations and arranging extras (helping us book hair appointments and restaurant bookings) which was incredibly thoughtful. The owners&#8217; warmth and genuine care for their guests made us feel like we were\u00a0we were visiting dear friends rather than staying at a holiday rental, and then there is the dog, a huge hit with the kids, a real playful little puppy.<\/p>\n<p>Castelmoron-sur-Lot itself was a delightful town to explore. We enjoyed leisurely walks along the riverbanks, visited charming local markets, and indulged in the region&#8217;s delectable cuisine. The area offered a perfect blend of tranquility and exciting activities, making it an ideal destination for guests of all ages.<\/p>\n<p>Our vacation at the Manoir Des Cedres was undoubtedly one of the most memorable experiences we&#8217;ve had as a large group. The exquisite property, combined with the exceptional care and attention from the owners, made it a holiday we will cherish for years to come. If you&#8217;re looking for a magical retreat with a mix of relaxation and adventure, I wholeheartedly recommend this stunning manoir and gite to everyone. We really hope to be able to return to this hidden gem in the heart of France. <strong>Sarah D, Ireland, June 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;L\u2019accueille<\/strong><em><strong> \u00e9tait chaleureux&#8221;<\/strong><\/em>par Liz &amp; Martyn et ils nous ont montr\u00e9 la maison avec les explications n\u00e9cessaires.\u00a0 En plus de l\u2019accueille personnel Liz nous avait fait un g\u00e2teau \u00e0 carotte, il y avait des bonnes bi\u00e8res au frigo , un panier de fruit en du vin.\u00a0La cuisine est bien \u00e9quip\u00e9 et tous est pr\u00e9sent pour faire de la bonne cuisine.\u00a0La vue de la Terrace et de la piscine est splendide et repausant .\u00a0Nous recommandons chaleureusement l\u2019endroit.\u00a0Nous revenons certainement.<strong>\u00a0Famille Simons de Belgique Aout 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>&#8220;Een echte aanrader&#8221; <\/strong><\/em>We kregen een warm onthaal door Liz en Martyn.

The gite has everything you could possibly want, plus a lot more and we were fortunate enough to experience the Manoir too, a sumptuous experience whether eating or sleeping over, in the plethora of stunning bedrooms. As an event venue, it would tick every box, and we could not recommend it highly enough!\u00a0 It is serenity, tranquillity and luxury combining superbly for any visitor&#8230;. if we weren\u2019t married, we\u2019d be booking up and can assure any prospective couple that they won\u2019t be disappointed if you choose Biraud Bas&#8230;For us, lifelong memories, wonderful location and to top everything else, we arrived as warmly greeted guests, and left, albeit reluctantly, as friends!!!

Manoir de Biraud Bas fitted the bill perfectly. This luxurious 17th century recently renovated property with extensive grounds ticked all the boxes. The house oozes taste and style and is immaculately clean.\u00a0It\u2019s difficult to say what we enjoyed most! Each bedroom is beautifully decorated, with a mixture of contemporary and antique furniture and comes with en-suite bathroom\/ shower room which meant that there were no arguments around who took showers when and keeping them tidy! The vast \u2018children\u2019s bedroom\u2019 with full size single\/ double beds and table soccer was met with approval from the younger generation! We also appreciated the mattresses and fine bed linen (we chose not to have duvets given the heat in August), which is rare in rental accommodation. Fred was in his element in the very spacious, fully equipped kitchen, which has everything you could possibly need. There are stacks of cutlery\/ glassware\/ crockery.The focal point of the house, it has to be said, is the terrace bathed in sunlight from morning to evening, with its comfy lounge furniture and swimming pool area. Sipping wine watching the sun set over the rolling fields of plum orchards was a must for everyone; likewise was being able to dine outside 100% of the time even when it rained! The pool is sufficiently long to do lengths. What\u2019s more, the temperature is maintained at a steady 28\u00b0C thanks to a heating\/ cooling system, so we didn\u2019t get that initial temperature shock even with early morning swims! Liz and Martyn did everything to make our stay pleasurable. They were very attentive to our needs, kept the garden immaculate and extremely helpful in providing information on what to see and do in the area while remaining discrete. Liz\u2019s homemade carrot cake and local cheese platter in the welcome package went down a treat!\u00a0We would definitely recommend Liz and Martyn\u2019s beautiful Manor house to others wishing to visit the region or, for that matter, for family get-togethers\/ celebrations.\u00a0A huge \u201cThank you\u201d to you both for making this a great holiday!\u00a0<strong>Sarah, Paris, France, August 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>&#8220;Tout simplement parfait !&#8221;\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Trouver une propri\u00e9t\u00e9 pour un groupe de 14 personnes (\u00e9tudiants, adultes et enfants en bas \u00e2ge) n&#8217;est pas facile. Le Manoir de Biraud Bas a \u00e9t\u00e9 au del\u00e0 de nos esp\u00e9rances.

La maison respire le bon go\u00fbt avec beaucoup de style et est d&#8217;une propret\u00e9 irr\u00e9prochable. Il est difficile de dire ce que nous avons le plus appr\u00e9ci\u00e9 ! Chaque chambre est magnifiquement d\u00e9cor\u00e9e, avec un m\u00e9lange de meubles contemporains et anciens, et est dot\u00e9e d&#8217;une salle de bain\/douche attenante, \u00e9vitant toute dispute pour savoir qui prenait les douches et qui les gardait propres ! La vaste &#8220;chambre d&#8217;enfants&#8221; avec des lits simples et doubles et un baby-foot a re\u00e7u l&#8217;approbation de la jeune g\u00e9n\u00e9ration ! Nous avons \u00e9galement appr\u00e9ci\u00e9 la grande qualit\u00e9 de la literie (matelas hyper confortables et linge de lit tr\u00e8s agr\u00e9able), ce qui est assez rare dans les logements de location. Fred, dont le plus grand plaisir (et le n\u00f4tre d\u2019ailleurs) est de nous pr\u00e9parer de bons petits plats pendant les vacances, \u00e9tait aux anges dans la cuisine tr\u00e8s spacieuse et enti\u00e8rement \u00e9quip\u00e9e, qui a tout ce dont vous pourriez avoir besoin. De plus, la vaisselle ne manque pas. Mais le point central de la maison, est bien la terrasse, baign\u00e9e de soleil du matin au soir, avec ses meubles de salon confortables et son espace piscine. Siroter un verre de vin en regardant le soleil se coucher sur les champs vallonn\u00e9s des vergers de pruniers \u00e9tait un must pour tout le monde ; de m\u00eame, pouvoir d\u00eener dehors 100% du temps m\u00eame si une giboul\u00e9e vient rafraichir l\u2019atmosph\u00e8re, est tr\u00e8s appr\u00e9ciable ! \u00a0La piscine est suffisamment longue pour faire des longueurs, et donc parfaite pour jouer ou nager selon son gr\u00e9. De plus, la temp\u00e9rature est maintenue \u00e0 28\u00b0C gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 un syst\u00e8me de chauffage\/refroidissement, ce qui rend tr\u00e8s agr\u00e9able la baignade \u00e0 toute heure du matin comme du soir. Liz et Martyn ont tout fait pour rendre notre s\u00e9jour agr\u00e9able. Ils ont \u00e9t\u00e9 tr\u00e8s attentifs \u00e0 nos besoins, ont gard\u00e9 le jardin immacul\u00e9 et ont \u00e9t\u00e9 extr\u00eamement utiles en nous donnant des informations sur ce qu&#8217;il y avait \u00e0 voir et \u00e0 faire dans la r\u00e9gion tout en restant discrets. Le g\u00e2teau aux carottes fait maison de Liz et le plateau de fromage local dans le paquet de bienvenue ont \u00e9t\u00e9 un r\u00e9gal!

They could not be more helpful but also very discrete. The Cottage is charming, the surroundings beautiful and the hosts are such nice people.

Les propri\u00e9taires sont un couple charmant, r\u00e9cemment install\u00e9s en France depuis les \u00eeles Anglo-Normandes. Ils vivent sur la propri\u00e9t\u00e9 (assez s\u00e9par\u00e9s, donc aucune intrusion !), sont vraiment sympathiques, gentils et serviables, faisant tout leur possible pour assurer que nous passions de bonnes vacances. La propri\u00e9t\u00e9 est tr\u00e8s bien \u00e9quip\u00e9e et extr\u00eamement spacieuse, mais c\u2019est les touches suppl\u00e9mentaires comme par exemple le pack de bienvenue rempli de produits locaux, et un dossier rempli d'informations et de recommandations locales qui nous ont fait comprendre qu'ils \u00e9taient pr\u00eats \u00e0 tout faire pour nous aider \u00e0 profiter de nos vacances. Il y a une superbe promenade \u00e0 faire \u00e0 travers des vergers de pruniers et de kiwis qui m\u00e8ne au village local qui a 2 excellentes boulangeries (nous avons achet\u00e9 un croissant chacun chaque matin !). Il y a un magasin au village bien approvisionn\u00e9 et quelques banques avec des distributeurs automatiques de billets. Il y a un caf\u00e9 fran\u00e7ais tr\u00e8s traditionnel avec de la nourriture d\u00e9licieuse pour le d\u00e9jeuner, cependant les sorties pour les repas du soir n\u00e9cessitaient une voiture. Avec un joli jardin, une terrasse de barbecue isol\u00e9e, une piscine \u00e9tincelante et une vue magnifique sur la vall\u00e9e avec ses vergers et ses champs de tournesols, nous n'avons pas ressenti le besoin de nous aventurer trop souvent, mais nous avons appr\u00e9ci\u00e9 quelques excursions de journ\u00e9e vers les ch\u00e2teaux, les villages bastides et d'autres sections de la rivi\u00e8re du Lot. Nous avons \u00e9galement ador\u00e9 les march\u00e9s du village local, et nous avons particuli\u00e8rement appr\u00e9ci\u00e9 les march\u00e9s du soir pour d\u00eener en plein air \u00e0 La Parade et surplombant la rivi\u00e8re \u00e0 Fongrave.\u00a0 <strong>Iain &amp; Fiona McF, Cheshire, juillet 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b><i><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">\u201cA <\/span><\/i><\/b><em><strong>\u00ab Un s\u00e9jour paisible et d\u00e9tendu \u00bb\u00a0 <\/strong><\/em>This lovely accommodation has recently changed hands and we were the very first guests.

Manoir de Biraud Bas fitted the bill perfectly. This luxurious 17th century recently renovated property with extensive grounds ticked all the boxes. The house oozes taste and style and is immaculately clean.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s difficult to say what we enjoyed most! Each bedroom is beautifully decorated, with a mixture of contemporary and antique furniture and comes with en-suite bathroom\/ shower room which meant that there were no arguments around who took showers when and keeping them tidy! The vast \u2018children\u2019s bedroom\u2019 with full size single\/ double beds and table soccer was met with approval from the younger generation! We also appreciated the mattresses and fine bed linen (we chose not to have duvets given the heat in August), which is rare in rental accommodation.<\/p>\n<p>Fred was in his element in the very spacious, fully equipped kitchen, which has everything you could possibly need. There are stacks of cutlery\/ glassware\/ crockery.<\/p>\n<p>The focal point of the house, it has to be said, is the terrace bathed in sunlight from morning to evening, with its comfy lounge furniture and swimming pool area. Sipping wine watching the sun set over the rolling fields of plum orchards was a must for everyone; likewise was being able to dine outside 100% of the time even when it rained! The pool is sufficiently long to do lengths. What\u2019s more, the temperature is maintained at a steady 28\u00b0C thanks to a heating\/ cooling system, so we didn\u2019t get that initial temperature shock even with early morning swims!<\/p>\n<p>Liz and Martyn did everything to make our stay pleasurable.

The owners welcomed us warmly and responded quickly to any queries during our stay but otherwise were quietly discreet. The interiors of the house and cottage are of high quality, clean, tasteful and extremely well equipped. The exterior and gardens are set up for dining, relaxing and playing amidst the most glorious views of orchards and wildlife on and over the gentle hills. We took advantage of a delicious catered meal midweek, provided by the owners, which resulted in a memorable evening.
