About Carol Whiteway

After many family holidays in France, over a period of some 20 years, deciding to live here was not too difficult.

With the family grown up, and settled, we wanted a change in our lives. So we packed up the heating and plumbing industry, and office demands, and we moved to the Lot et Garonne, and took up new challenges.

Now some six years on, still very happy with our new location and life style. We have new friends, and met lots of interesting people. We have new skills, which we never knew we had.

Carol Whiteway purchased this barn in 2006

The stone buildings at Bouyé, together with its swimming pool, rest in the quiet countryside, near the famous Bastide town of Monflanquin. Self catering and B&B accommodation are available. Enjoy the tranquil countryside, stroll the quiet lanes, discover the local wildlife: birds of prey, deer, and wild boar. Local outdoor activities are in abundance: golf courses, equestrian centres, tennis, fishing and trotting to name but a few. Nearby there is a lake offering bathing, boating, or just playing on the man-made beach. France would not be complete without a Chateau - Biron and Bonaguil are just two! Monflanquin is a perfect venue for many open air events, including the spectacular August Medieval Fete, and no exception is the weekly morning market, which continues throughout the year. Evening markets prove to be very popular with our visitors too, with an opportunity to purchase regional produce from the stalls in the square, and dine al fresco! A great way to experience local French life.

Or may be just enjoy the tranquility of the surrounding countryside, relaxing by the pool.

Wonderful gite with fully equiped kitchen, exceptionally clean and very well presented. Everything you need on hand for a relaxing holiday in South West France. Beautiful pool, BBQ, terrace with sun loungers in beautiful and peaceful surroundings - all set near an idylic village, ideal for touring this area of France but also has a variety of amenities nearby. Hosts are a wonderful couple who we now regard as friends, above and beyond good customer service.

Bouye Vacation Gem

Submitted: November 28, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
We enjoyed a memorable week-long stay at Bouye. The interesting restored Prune Barn was most delightful. It was roomy and comfortable, spotlessly clean and very well appointed, with large French doors opening out from both the bedroom and the kitchen to a sunny patio, complete with a dining table and lounge chairs.


Carol and Martin were the best hosts you could ask for. They were so friendly and helpful, and their hospitality exceeded our expectations. The welcome package of fresh fruit and vegetables from their garden, beer, wine, juice and bottled water, as well as yogurt, and fresh bread hot, from the oven, was amazing!

During the day, we enjoyed driving in the French countryside and visiting the many quaint bastides and villages. We fell in love with the markets, and the friendly vendors, as well as the town square ambiance. Needless to say, we also enjoyed the delicious French cuisine and wine served in the many cafes and dining rooms.

Bouye, situated in the tranquil countryside, was a perfect place to relax and to enjoy sunbathing and swimming in the lovely pool after a wonderful day of sightseeing.

We highly recommend Bouye to anyone wanting a relaxing and interesting vacation in beautiful Southwest France. Bouye is a gem!

Sunflowers Swimming Getting Away

Submitted: November 27, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
It is often hard to choose the right holiday experience when faced with a few lines on an advert, but I have no hesitation in recommending Bouye, near Monflanquin. However you choose to get there - we flew to Bordeaux and hired a car - the area is warm, welcoming and offers an array of interest. We, family of four with two teenagers, stayed for a week in August with temperatures up to 36 degrees, which made the lovely pool a great bonus. Bouye gite was beautifully clean and well equipped, all you actually need is clothing and swimwear and Carol & Martin's hospitality and helpfulness made for a genuinely relaxing time. There was plenty to do and see.
Locally, there are beautiful Bastide towns of Villareal (superb market), Monbazier (take a trip into past-times) and a few Chateaux. Restaurants of all price brackets abound and the pace of life can be eased back in a glass of wine (or two). The Town of Monflanquin is interesting and during our visit there was high quality live music and on another night the weekly "feast" - like a farmers market restaurant, was both great value and a fun night out (dancing in the street with around 100 others!!). Further afield, the Dordogne River is about 1.5 hrs away, with new sights, history and plenty of Kayaks.
Think sunflowers, swimming, getting away - yet enough to provide interest for all ages - and a lovely Gite to boot. Enjoy!
