Rooms With A View

Pêtre

Set in the heart of Gascony, the Barn at Pêtre is a beautifully-restored, 18th century stone building that has recently been converted to provide comfortable and spacious self-catering holiday accommodation. Surrounded by garden and set on a hillside, the Barn enjoys panoramic views across rolling countryside with the Pyrenees visible to the south. Guests have full use of the swimming pool and garden, and for hot, sunny days there is a private, covered terrace that is perfect for al fresco dining.

The Barn’s principal room is a huge open space with sitting and dining areas and a high vaulted ceiling which helps to keep it cool even on the hottest day. French windows open onto the south-facing covered terrace. The well-equipped kitchen has its own open terrace as well as a breakfast bar. Next to the kitchen is the utility room with separate shower room and WC. Upstairs on the mezzanine floor is a large sleeping area with en-suite bathroom and WC.

Approached from an outside stone staircase is the second bedroom, also with en-suite bathroom and WC. There is covered parking to keep cars cool. The large swimming pool is only shared with the owners. The Barn is quite separate from the farmhouse where we live.
