A traditional stone built Quercy farmhouse and barn in the idyllic Lot countryside extracts from our Visitors Book and online reviews
Comments from 2020 (very limited opening!) Thank you for making our last minute break so enjoyable. We wanted a quiet, relaxing week, and Berty gite gave us that...and more! You were also great hosts, helping us out with emergency supplies on top of the ample welcome pack, making us feel so comfortable in a home from home. The home grown beans, raspberries and herbs were a lovely surprise and a great addition to our meals. Thank you! J, A J & A, Devon |

| Yes, we did still enjoy our holiday at Berty Gite and it was so good to get away and be able to relax as well as go out and visit places. The countryside is lovely and we really love rural France and we have made some special memoreis. The weather was glorious but a little hot at times with the heatwave, and the swimming pool was great. It is a lovely area and whilst under unusual times, so glad we did come and whilst it was sad to cut the holiday short by a day, it was the right thing to do. C, M, J & F, Essex |

| What a quiet relaxing place to spend a week. Hope to be back again one day. I & J, Cape Town | We were fortunate indeed to be able to have a return stay. Wonderful the first time, and just as wonderful this second stay. Thank you for creating such a magical place and being such brilliant hosts. PW, London. |
| We've had a wonderful week. Loved the garden - and the pool with all the butterflies & bees was brilliant. Wanted a week to "de-stress" and this was the perfect spot. We were able to settle in straight away in a very comfortable and well-equipped gite. Thank you. S & R, Sheffield | |
| This was just the perfect holiday all round. Beautiful gite, peaceful, great wildlife, superb pool and amazing stargazing. Thank you both for your hospitality. C, H, L & L from Wirral | What a lovely week we've spent at Berty Gite. Thank you for all your tips on where to eat, canoe and enjoy night markets! G, A, H, L,R & J. Bristol |
| A superb haven! So peaceful. A great escape from a crazy life. We have loved every moment. Our girls loved the swings & trampoline and more so we have two water babies! We all loved the pool. Thank you so much for your hospitality, such kind people. Our introduction to astronomy was superb. Memories our eldest daughter will treasure. The wildlife was fantastic. Berty has captured our hearts. We hope to be back! Thank you xxx M, R, R, H, L & J, Huddersfield | |

| What wonderful week thank you! An amazing garden and incredible pool as well. The boys (and us and the baby!) have had an incredible time... as you have probably been abe to tell from the many squals of delight! The gite is so well equipped which makes life awat from home so much easier, and the effort you went to to make the garden child friendly was so kind. Thank you.... for sharing the magic of Berty Gite with us for a short time. L, M, O, S & E, Sheffield. | ||
Comments from 2017 We are so pleased that we chose to stay at Berty Gite. Ideal, beautiful location - excellent accommodation. Best gite we've ever stayed in. Thank you Belinda & Graham. |

| Back to lovely Berty Gite for a (hot) delightful stay - thank you both | As always - totally wonderful stay. Berty is divine. Garden sublime/ pool fab/ house lovely & G & B delightful as always. Best markets 1) Montcuq, Sunday 2) Prayssac Friday 3) Lauzerte Saturday - Cahors Wednesday & Saturday. Swim in Montcuq plan d'eau is awesome and walks on doorstep stunning. Pilgrims, sunflowers, melons, cherries, stunning / seeing Venus moons courtesy of Graham - all fabulous. Back soon - 5 star love & appreciation xxx | |
| 14 years on from first visit and still loving it the same! Absolutely wonderful to be back and found it easy as ever to settle into the Berty way of life! Thanks a million | Yet another wonderful holiday at Berty. Thank you for everything. | I loved getting to experience everything Tom has raved about from years ago - the melons, the birds, the pool and (of course) your amazing hospitality. We'll be back! |
| What a fabulous week! Huge thanks to B & G for looking after us so well and for our fab impromptu astronomy session - even saw the ISS pass by. Weather mixed, but perfect for us with pool, trampoline, table footie, badders, table tennis (phew!) - the boys haven't complained they've been bored once! Love the wildlife here, sunflowers, and the peace was special, as was our meal at Vire sur Lot - Le Caillau - well worth a visit for lovely food. We will return next year. | I loved the pool, the sit on mower ride, the chicken and the cats especially 'Bunny' (William age 6) Love your house. See you next year (Edward age 5) |
A lovely location and friendly and helpful hosts. We are lucky to live in rural Northamptonshire - oilseed rape and undulating countryside. You however have some wonderful extras - quiet country roads, no A road hum. Wonderful light and Hoopoes. |
| Thank you so much for allowing us all to stay in your lovely gite. The property was so well equipped and the garden magical. You also arranged wall to wall sunshine! | ||
| Thank you for a fabulous stay. Your hospitality is faultless. This is our 6th stay but I hope not our last by a long shot. We love the gite, the garden, the cats and your welcome! The only drawback is that 2 weeks is not enough! Thank you both from us all. | ||
| Best appointed gite we have ever stayed in - and we've been coming to France for 10 years! Boys loved the pool. | Wow, so perfect - delightful in every way - don't want to leave and so hope we will be back! Thank you so much, for everything! | |
| Perfect place for creative inspiration, for work, rest and play. Your hospitality has been both warm and generous. Much appreciated. Our walks on the Camino route were fabulous. | Loved the whole week, such fun with friends, an endless supply of rosé and red and a re-creation of Agincourt after a swim. Graham & Belinda are stars at least 36.7 billion light years ahead of us. Many thanks. | A wonderful week at Berty. Thank you Graham & Belinda for your great hospitality which will be remembered with great affection as we work our way through Belinda's recipes. |
Lovely Gite in beautiful rural setting This is a lovely place to stay if you want a get away from it all holiday. The owners live next door and are always on hand if you need them, however they gave us full privacy and we often forgot they were about. The garden is huge and beautiful with a great table tennis table and badminton net - great when wanting a change from lounging around by the pool. The pool is large, fenced and has all the chairs and sun-cover that you could need. The property itself is clean and well-maintained and has everything required for a self-catering holiday. A car is essential. The nearby town Montcuq is a 10 minute drive away and has a supermarket local shops and a few restaurants/bars. We went kayaking down the Aveyron river, visited the weekly market in Montcuq, visited the prehistoric caves at Peche Merle and spent lots of time lounging around in the sun by the pool.A great holiday. |
The perfect place for a relaxing holiday Very quiet, the gite is very well equipped clean and well maintained. The welcome pack was the best that we have had on any of our holidays. Belinda and Graham really made us welcome. The local shops and market in Montcuq were very good and would recommend a visit to Cahors |

The perfect family holiday in South-West France After spending weeks trawling the internet for that all allusive French holiday home (the one in the perfect location, reasonably-priced and with all facilities laid on) this was the only gite that 'ticked all our boxes'. The graceful owners, Graham and Belinda were on-hand to provide unobtrusive help during our stay and the gite was fully equipped with absolutely everything thoroughly thought about in order to provide for the most relaxing holiday. The very generous welcome pack was most appreciated (as we arrived late on Saturday night), but we found to our delight that even the supermarkets locally were open on Sunday morning. The gite itself was beautifully presented and clean. The two bathrooms (one separate, one en-suite) were much appreciated by our family and the rooms were very airy and cool when wishing to escape the heat of the day. There was an abundance of tourist literature in the gite, and the owners had compiled a wealth of information on the amenities and attractions of the surrounding area, incorporating the reviews, thoughts and recommendations of previous guests, as well as their own. A well-stocked library of books was also available. The large pool was perfect for our family of four. We have fond memories of sunbathing next to vines of succulent grapes, whilst watching the bees floating between the lavender and with only the sounds of crickets to disturb us. We dined in the huge, immaculately-kept gardens and walked between the nearby fields of sunflowers with butterflies swirling around us. Our young children loved the toys provided and could even watch their 'Cbeebies' programme in the evening. For peace of mind, the wireless internet provided kept us in touch with home and business whilst away. If you are looking for true luxury in South-west France for a 'down-to-earth' price, then look no further than 'Berty Gite'. We will not forget our stay in this beautiful and immaculate accommodation, and hope to return soon. Thank you so much for your kindness and hospitality during our stay. |

Peaceful French rural retreat A wonderful peaceful rural location perfect for recharging batteries but not too isolated to find good resturants and shops. A well maintained gite which has been equiped to a high standard. The pool area is a real bonus, perfect for relaxing in the sunshine with wafts of lavender scent carried in the air. The garden is a haven for wildlife with the meadow being full of wild flowers and butterflies. The local town of Montcuq is close and prefect for all provisions or just sitting outside drinking coffee. Typical colourful French market on Sundays worth visiting. The owners couldn't be more helpful, they live on site and whilst they are close by they keep a low profile. Choice of 3 main resturants in Montcuq but many in the surrounding area. The area is ideal for walkers with many routes throughout the countryside. Trips to Cahors provides further choices for shopping and interesting boat trips. If you want to travel further afield it is possible to have a day trip to the Millau bridge and to the lovely historic city. I would recommend this holiday let to friends and family and in fact already have. We have returned 3 years running which speaks for itself.
