Lorre, La Gite

Hidden in a forest valley in the South of France, is our entirely secluded hamlet, Lorre. The Gite is a cottage dating from the early 1800's with the comfort of a modern kitchen and shower room. The hamlet is set in 80 acres of private woodland and surrounded by nature; with a wood-fired spring fed hot tub, meandering forest and stream-side walks and incredible views. It is idyllic. The hamlet is within day-trip driving distance of wild swimming and lake beaches at the Lakes of Laouzas and La Raviege, canoeing, kayaking and white water at the Gorges of Tarn, plunge pools and waterfalls at the Gorges d'Heric, the UNESCO World Heritage city of Albi, charming Millau and the Norman Foster Viaduct and even the Mediterranean beaches at Beziers (a bit further, about an hour and half). We do have other accommodation space here, so we can accommodate larger or smaller groups. We have a larger house, listed as Lorre, La Maison D'Hotes and an extra en suite bedroom, the Pool Room, next to our pool, let us know if you'd like some extra space and we'll see what we can do. The Gite has a small private garden and a large raised, balcony veranda just off the bedroom (have a look at the photos, they're beautiful). There are other little gardens dotted around the hamlet, the swimming pool during the summer months and of course, the whole of the forest... Aveyron is perfect for outdoor activities with wild lake swimming, gorge kayaking and horse-riding all within an easy drive. The Mediterranean beaches are 1.5 hours away. The local village has a great bar and really impressive art gallery. This is an eco-run hamlet where we live sustainably with nature. The kitchen is well equipped and has an electric hob, oven, kettle and toaster. Heating is via the wood burner - perfect for cosy evenings!
