This beautiful barn conversion in the Lot region of South West France is BFB through and through. Since falling in love with the place, the owners of Beauclerc have made it their mission to create somewhere really lovely and superbly equipped for babies and toddlers, so all families need to bring are some clothes and themselves.

By lavishing all their love and attention to detail on Beauclerc, the owners have brought classic style and standards to the relaxed environment of a traditional holiday home from home. The rustic and authentic French character has been carefully preserved and then enhanced with special finishing touches and the owners’ obvious desire to delight little ones as much as grown-ups.

Children will quickly discover that the house is full of gorgeous toys and fun things to do, plus a super-cute timber play cabin in the garden includes a dressing up box and plenty of kit for being arty and creative. Beauclerc’s funky lounge leads out to a dining terrace with a barbecue and there’s a separate area for children to spread out their stuff and play out of the sun.

The private pool at Beauclerc is safely gated and surrounded by smart timber decking with sun loungers for parents to soak up the sun and drink in the views, or play with baby in an inflatable paddling pool. Older children can free range in the garden and grounds around Beauclerc, taking turns on the classic tyre swing and playing with the various outdoor games.

Parents can keep an eye on the pool and garden from the large, open plan dining kitchen which is cool and contemporary with a gas range cooker, dishwasher, fridge freezer, microwave, kettle toaster and blender. A welcome pack of local goodies is provided and the owners can also stock the larder with a pre-arrival shop, fill the wine rack with fine local tipples, arrange home cooked meals or even a chef for the night.

The two bedrooms at Beauclerc are beautifully furnished and both have ensuite bathrooms plus a daybed downstairs can convert into a double for another couple if needed. If parents fancy a little pampering the owners can arrange massages, manicures and pedicures or fully checked babysitters can be booked so mum and dad can have a much needed night out at one of the region’s famous gourmet restaurants.
