Delightful self-contained rural studio - Cantal

This studio is a converted stable on the ground floor of an 18th Century house, looking out onto the garden and a nearby farmyard. Set quietly in rolling hills between the Lot and Célé, the studio is surrounded by good walking country, and 6k from the Chemin de St Jacques. Figeac, Conques, Belcastel, Pech Merle, Rocamadour, Puy Marie and Gorge du Lot are all within easy reach. Coffee and teas provided. Breakfasts available on request (7€ per person). We welcome people from all backgrounds. We have renovated the stable using sustainable materials, and, wherever possible, reusing original fixings from our old farm house. The flooring is sea grass (bed and living room area) or boards (kitchen area) or rubber tiles (bathroom), the walls are insulated with lime and hemp, or panelled in re-used wood. The total area is 25sq.m. There are no stairs, besides a low doorstep. The orthopaedic mattress is firm and wide (185cm), and the bed is high, (65cm off the ground). Guests are welcome to share the garden area. We live separately from the studio, on the first floor, and are on hand when/if needed. We make every effort to protect our guests from Covid-19, and we follow the comprehensive guidelines issued by Air BnB. In addition, we have allowed two days between visits, in order to sanitise and air the studio. We are about 6km North of the Chemin de St Jacques (walking route: GR65). Trains from Brive, Rodez, Aurillac and Toulouse arrive in Figeac or Maurs (our closest station) from where a train also goes up into the Massif Central. By car we are 1hr15min from the A20 motorway and 1hr45min from the A75. Nearest airports are Rodez, Brive, Toulouse and Limoges. There is a travel cot available for 0-3 year old children.
