It was the trip of a lifetime and our host, Jo, could not have been more fantastic! Attentive and knowledgeable about everything we needed. A perfect place for visiting the entire area. We stayed 5 weeks and had a total of 39 people stay during that time. Everyone loved the house. A perfect place for celebrating with family and friends. Jo suggested Chef Celine for special meals in the house and she was amazing. I did not want to leave. A truly magical place!

Superb house, beautiful location. Perfect!
Where to start? The house is stunning and if anything the online listing undersells it. We visited as a 3-generation family group in summer 2024 with ages ranging from 15 to 77, everyone in the group fell in love with the place. The bedrooms are all beautifully presented, quiet & cool and the beds are super comfortable, the bathrooms are all well-equipped and the house was immaculately clean when we arrived. The kitchen too is excellent with plenty of room, crockery, utensils, cutlery etc to cater for the size of group the property can accommodate. We hardly used the dining room or sitting room, but again they looked lovely - stylish, comfortable and appropriately sized for the house. The outside space, where we spent the majority of our time, is amazing. Again there's plenty of room for every one, the pool is perfect - a real sun trap and a great size, and the river is lovely to swim in or kayak on. The outside cooking area made for sociable evenings (nobody left inside prepping dinner, when you decide to eat at home). For days out - Coutras is around a 30min train journey to Bordeaux and about the same car journey to St Emilion The owner, Jo, is a super host and we couldn't have felt more welcome. Can't wait to return. Thank you Jo!

A great house for a family holiday.
The house was voted by all the family as the best large holiday home we have stayed in. We particularly loved the large covered terrrace. We were 3 generations including 6 teenagers, but the house was well equiped for children of all ages. All the rooms were beautufully furnished, thought we didn't have the need to use the formal dining room or sitting room. The access to the river at the bottom of the garden was a bonus, allowing canooing (canoos provided) and paddleboarding fun and it was wonderful to spot all the kingfishers who live there. Jo was very welcoming and friendly and I am sure would have been very helpful if we had needed anything.

Our Family July 2023 Week
Jo is a super hostess and responded instantly to any requests. The house was very well equipped. The layout of the property was perfect for our needs: 2 grandparents, 4 other adults, 2 teenagers and 2 10-12 year-olds. Setting is lovely, on the river and 2 kayaks provided to enjoy. Highlight for us was the huge covered area. Housed the BBQ, a lounge area, dining table and games area. We spent most of the time in this great space. A very enjoyable family Break!

Glorious garden and pool area with river frontage for canoeing. Well equipped for all the activities and games and books galore. Jo the host is absolutely lovely and I can’t wait to revisit. A little drive to St Emilion and some wonderful restaurants.

Perfect for large family
Family of 12 - 3 generations including a toddler and 3 year-old. House much bigger than expected. Beds comfortable, plenty of bathrooms. Great outdoor spaces including swimming pool, huge terrace, and access to river for kayaking. All very secure for little people with gates and a walled pool area. Great cooking facilities and bbq. We loved our stay! It's rural, 20 min walk to nearest town. (Slight negative was poor internet/wifi). But truly a great place for a holiday!

A wonderful 2 weeks with family in an iconic French farmhouse by the river. Fantastic weather and a swim in the pool everyday. There is so much more to Coutras than we expected, the surrounding areas and Chateaux’s everywhere made for a perfect holiday. And none more than our wonderful host Jo.

La vielle ferme experience
Attractive, well laid out, thoughtfully equipped and catering superbly for the needs of our extended family (3 generations) through a range of options which allowed the younger members of our party to be as active as they wished whilst ensuring a more sedate alternative for the more mature. A great place to spend a holiday. The area itself also offers a breadth of experiences to suit all tastes whether they be cultural, wine (the vineyards of St Emilion are a short drive away) or family fun activities eg water parks, paddle boards, velorail all within 15 minutes of the property. Jo herself, was very supportive and always on hand to answer questions, the perfect hostess. We would have no hesitation in recommending this property.

Wonderful family holiday home
Thank you Jo & Martin for letting us stay in your beautiful home. We really appreciated your warm welcome, helpful timely responses to our pre arrival questions and abundant amounts of tourist info. We are a family of 8 adults and 1 x 8week baby and it was ideal, offering spacious accommodation inside & out (with a shady terrace for the baby) , a sea water swimming pool, which we used everyday, sun loungers, the table tennis, canoes, fairy lights & huge plancher (BBQ). We wanted for nothing! Loved the real McCoy ‘butchers block’ in the kitchen, all the cooking utensils, fridge space and crockery and you even had a very cute, family heirloom Moses basket! Well done & thank you. The story book of your restoration of this Vielle Ferme is inspirational! We do hope to return soon. Thank you again

A great week...
We had a great week at Jo's holiday home. The barn conversion is breathtaking and really well kitted out. Jo was very welcoming and the location offered the perfect base for our adventures in the Dordogne. The kayaking at the back of the property is a real added extra and proved the perfect backdrop for a wedding engagement amongst 2 of our party!! Tom

Tranquil Paradise
3 families, 6 adults and 6 children aged between 8-13 stayed at this beautiful house for the last week of August. After booking and reading about the house and its facilities we were excited for our visit and we were not disappointed. This house which it tucked away up a private drive really is the ideal holiday accommodation. When you are in the house and its grounds its is so quiet (accept the children running around everywhere!) and it has a really good vibe about it. The house itself is very big and is decorated to a high standard. The bathrooms are modern and the furnishings are of good quality. You can tell that a lot of time and effort has been put in to create an ideal holiday space. There is a book in the house detailing the journey of its modernisation project from start to finish. Jo, one of the owners who lives next door could not have been more welcoming or accommodating. There is a wealth of information on offer in the house and Jo is there too to ask any questions. The facilities are tip top, the pool is a very good size and was used almost every minute that we were in, the children absolutely loved it. The river that is at the end of the garden is accessible with an Indian canoe or a two man kayak that are provided with the house. At some stage every member of our party went for paddle. The outside area is very large and perfect for an evenings eating and drinking. There is a grand dining room inside the house that we did not get to use as the weather was so good but if booking this in a slightly colder time of the year would be very regal for your evening meal. The house is situated in an area that is surrounded by chateaus, there are grapes as the eyes can see as you approach the house. The picturesque town of St Emilion is only 15 minutes away that is a must see on your trip. Overall i could not recommend this house anymore, a must for any party between 8-12.

A wonderful house and a great place to stay!
La Vieille ferme Is a spacious house which is beautifully decorated . We were 3 couples travelling around France and we spent 3 relaxing nights here. The house caters for large groups particularly families with numerous bedrooms and well appointed bathrooms as well as everything you could possibly need to cook for large groups, as well as outstanding living areas. Sumptuous couches and a slow combustion stove made for very relaxing evenings. We particularly enjoyed sitting in the garden and in the enormous verandah where we able to enjoy the view of the garden and the river. We would have liked to have had longer to enjoy the activities on the river. The owner Jo was friendly and a wonderful help regarding places to visit and eat. The house is also close to a supermarket and vineyards. The large eat-in kitchen was fabulous ( we didn't even go into the large formal dining room)! We had a wonderful 3 days, the house is amazing and we hope to return another time with our families.
