Rural Location

We had a fabulous couple of weeks here, very quiet and private with enough to do locally within a 15 minute drive. Mitch, the owner was welcoming and helpful and kept the pool spotlessly clean.

Everything we had hoped for....

We spent two wonderful weeks at Loco's Lodge this September. We felt at home the moment we walked in - enhanced by Mitch's welcome package complete with flowers. food essentials and local wine! The gite is well laid out with everything on one floor, and the three terrace options were perfect for different times of the day - usually ending up with an evening glass of wine, enjoying the fabulous view of the valley. Mitch is the perfect host - always there when you need something, but otherwise leaving you to enjoy the peace and quiet. We couldn't have imagined a better choice.

Fabulous Holiday in a Wonderful Gite at a Beautiful Location

Having spent a tremendous week at Loco’s Lodge in 2017, we quickly concluded that the location and facilities perfectly suited our requirements, and we accordingly booked the property for three weeks in June this year. The gite was exactly how we remembered it – clean, tidy, roomy and well-appointed, with the crystal blue pool beckoning us for a dip before unpacking. The hospitality shown by the owner Mitch both upon arrival, and throughout our stay was much appreciated, as was the complimentary wine and fridge provisions left for our consumption. Mitch clearly strives to keep the grounds of the gite in a well-groomed state, and she is particularly diligent in the ensuring the impressive tiled pool is maintained in a perfect condition – servicing it each morning after a previous day’s hard swimming by both two- and four-legged guests! Mitch has two very friendly dogs of her own – Brandy (who is now getting on a little in years), and Charlie the pup. It was a pleasure to be greeted by these two each morning, and at different times throughout the day. Our own dog Max struck up quite a friendship with Brandy & Charlie and was quite happy to share his regular barbeque leftovers with them! The nearest boulangerie is about four miles away in Lauzun and is open six days per week. Lauzun also has a lovely little park with a lake in the middle – which we had a spin around each morning with Max before or after collecting our daily bread. We spent a couple of days sightseeing, but other than going out to buy provisions when required, we were just happy to chill out in this tremendous gite in the quiet French countryside – not least because the sun shone on twenty of the twenty-one days of our holiday! We would have no hesitation in recommending Loco’s Lodge to anyone looking for a relaxing holiday (with or without a pet) in a very well-equipped gite located in wonderful surroundings.

Idyllic setting

A lovely warm welcome from Mitch the owner with a thoughtful and generous hamper of goodies. Spacious villa with open fire. Wonderful views on all sides and a super swimming pool. A peaceful and relaxing hideaway.

About the host

Hosted by Mitch O'Sullivan

The photo is of Charlie, my best pal, she is the boss! I bought the property in 1994
whilst living in Germany involved in the golf business. Moved down to France in 2001 and in 2003, I decided to go back to school - to study all about wine. 7 years of studies, and 18 years of running my wine shop in the buzzing village of Eymet, I am still working 7/7, aided and abetted by Charlie. My favourite time of the day is 'sundowner' time, watching the spectacular sunsets at Loco's Lodge.

Why they chose this property

Loco's Lodge is part of Le Tuquet, nearly 2 hectares. The Lodge has been totally rejuvenated this year with a South facing sun lounge with views of rolling countryside, trees and more trees, providing a home to the local deer, the red squirrels, the occasional pheasant and many rabbits.
This year, I also added a 'sundowner' terrace where you can sit and enjoy the evening sunsets, or watch our amazing night sky. There is also a covered terrace, should it rain.
A paradise for dogs, with plenty of quiet roads for walking.

What makes this property unique

The property is in the middle of an enormous field, with either sunflowers, winter rye or barley being grown. Neighbours are nowhere to be seen. It is an oasis of tranquillity, somewhere to relax and unwind, either in the hammocks, by the pool, in the sun lounge, or on the terraces. Books are also provided.
The décor inside is warm and cosy, with a lot of personal touches to make you feel truly at home. You will receive a generous welcome package on arrival, with all of the bare essentials - and more. And, needless to say, a couple of bottles of local wine!
