The
double barn doors open into the vast ground floor which has warm
terracotta tiles throughout and is furnished with an eclectic mix of
antique and modern furniture. The kitchen area leads you to the centre
of the room where the grand dining table is suitably placed to offer
views up to the roof beams, exposed to their full glory. The lounge area
completes the space with comfortable seating and a wood burning stove.
Patio doors at the rear, open onto a pretty breakfast <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">terrace</span> with views overlooking the walnut orchard and the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Dordogne</span></span> valley.<br />

All set in the original roof beams.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #990000;">Although the barn is a wonderfully
large space and there are enough beds to sleep up to six adults and two
children, due to its open plan nature and the single bathroom being
located on the ground floor, we only recommend this property for up to
four adults or a single family. The extra beds are there to provide
flexibility when deciding who sleeps where!<br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><br />
</span><br />
<br />
The barn is available to rent in mid to peak season and only as an addition to the gite rental.<br />

<span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="color: #3366ff;"><span style="color: #3366ff;">Notes for Parents</span><br />
</span></span>Having small children ourselves, we are fully aware of the challenges faced with holiday accommodation. Although we have made Scarpat as child friendly as possible we would like to point out the following:<br />
The area surrounding Scarpat is open to fields and woodland and a quiet, country road runs past the front of the property. It is therefore the parents' responsibility to keep an eye on children at all times when playing outdoors.<br />
The Barn has an open staircase (gated at the top) and the Gite has a basement staircase which is open access. We have provided a Babydan playpen to frame either of these areas if necessary. Two stair gates are also available.<br />
The stairs on the open terrace are gated and the pool has a security fence covering the entire pool area.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #990000;"></span><span style="color: #990000;">Swimming Pool Safety</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"></span><span style="color: #990000;">The pool has a security fence all around it and can be accessed by adults at various sections. The area between the Gite and the covered terrace is also fenced off so your children have access to the play area only, whilst remaining in constant view from the pool area. The steps leading up to the covered terrace can be blocked with a stair gate if necessary. Our aim is to make you feel as relaxed as possible whilst on holiday with small children and they get to have a great time too!</span><br />

'We all loved Scarpat! It was perfect for our needs in terms of layout/
size/ location etc and we really loved exploring the area.<br />
You should
all be very proud of the beautiful house you have created. The pool was
a particular highlight as was the beautiful outdoor area where we dined
every evening.<br />
<br />
Thanks again and we will be sure to stay at Scarpat if we holiday in the area again.'<br />

'I just wanted to drop you an email to say thank you so much for allowing us to stay at Scarpat last week .<br />
We had such a wonderful stay for the 6 days that we were there. It was ideally equipped for my 2 year old nephew, he was in heaven when he saw all the pool toys, the footballs and the swing.<br />
<br />
The swimming pool was beautiful and the upstairs decking with the hammock was like heaven.<br />
<br />
The accommodation were both stunning and again wonderfully equipped, you have thought of absolutely everything that a person could need on a self catering holiday.<br />
<br />
You and your family have restored Scarpat in the most wonderful way, it is truly gorgeous and we are really hopeful that we will be able to visit again next year.<br />
Thank you once again,'<br />

'Your place is absolutely beautiful and fantastic for a quiet vacation. It is perfect for group vacations and will be glad and happy to recommend it to friends and family. The walk to Le Buisson every morning from Scarpat and back was a great exercise, we love the swimming pool especially during the two days that the<br />
temperature hit 46 degrees celsius. The region is such a magnificent place and there is so much to do in nearby villages.'<br />

'We had a wonderful holiday! I am so pleased that I found your website, what a fantastic place Scarpat is. You and your brothers have done such a good job with the renovations and we love your taste.<br />
We spent the first week relaxing by the pool (which was amazing). We went to the markets, walked a lot, horse riding and canoed which was fun. My brother and his family popped in and also fell in love with the house. The second week we ventured into Bergerac and Rocamadour which was beautiful. There is so much to do there and so child friendly that we would love to book Scarpat again next year.<br />
Thank you for making it possible for us to have the best holiday in years.'<br />

An area of the river is cordonned off for children and has a stationed lifeguard during the summer season.<br />
Other activities within easy reach are horse-riding, tennis, golf and cycle hire. Sightseeing opportunities are endless with many surrounding medieval towns and villages, chateaux and prehistoric caves to explore.<br />
3 km away from <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Scarpat</span> is the village of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Cadouin</span>, with its stunning 12<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">th</span> century cloistered abbey and pretty market square.<br />
During the summer season, Le <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">Buisson</span> and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">Cadouin</span> host a weekly night market. This is a great opportunity to meet the locals, practice your French and for everyone to enjoy an evening of food, wine, music and dancing.<br />

<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Scarpat</span> was purchased over 25 years ago by our parents, John and Pat <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Rawlinson</span>. Most of the buildings were in a very bad state of repair having suffered a fire and left to ruin. Brambles completely covered the area. There was no electricity or water and camping was the only option. Once we had the basics up and running, the renovation of the barn was the first major project and we have gradually restored the rest of the complex over the years. Many a summer holiday has been spent <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">strimming</span>, digging, building and plastering, eating lots, drinking lots and getting to know the locals! The swimming pool was built in 2005. Work on the middle house (the gite) began in 2006 and is now complete. The farmhouse is the final project, but we're taking a break for now.<br />
A massive thanks to many of our friends and family who have put the effort in to Scarpat over the years. An extra special thanks to mum and dad for giving us the vision and the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">madness</span> to want to continue with our great, big place in F<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">rance</span>!<br />
