A relaxing week away in rural France
Le Mayrinet is a rural gite and was much as we expected. It is situated about a 20 minute drive away from Verdun-en- Garonne where there are two supermarkets with everything you need for your stay. However if you are looking for lots to do, then expect to have to drive some distance! All we wanted to do was relax after a long journey through France in our Vintage car and therefore the gite was perfectly situated for us.
Kevin welcomed us and showed us around the property emphasising that if there was anything we needed just to get in touch. After 24 hours we had made the house our home finding all the equipment we needed for our stay. Every evening we ate outside as we were lucky to have dry, warm weather other than on the first day of our stay when it rained.
Although I hadn't appreciated it from the description of the property, the shower room with the second toilet is on the ground floor but this wasn't a problem for us. The "master" bedroom is spacious, the children's room is small as is the second bedroom. We had travelled with our son, daughter in law and 9 year old grandaughter and there was room enough for the five of us.
Doubtless the star of the show is the pool - it is a rare find in gites like this and we have stayed in many! It gets the sun all day and there are sunbeds for everyone. We spent many hours relaxing around the pool, playing table tennis and soaking up the sun.
In summary, if you want to stay in a peaceful rural location in a traditionally rustic French gite, then Le Mayrinet could be what you are looking for. There are fruit trees in the garden and many birds visit. However if you want a modern property, with fast internet and lots to do every day then you may need to look elsewhere!!
