They now combine charming stone and timbers with modern comforts to provide the perfect holiday home in the heart of the French countryside.

We had a fantastic time here as a group of four families. There was lots of adaptable shady space and quieter areas. Lovely pool and terraces and well equipped kitchens. Loads of lovely day trips and nearby activities and a really helpful host. Couldn't have asked for more.
Séjour en famille dans un endroit magnifique, chez Simon, un hôte accueillant, disponible et très sympathique. Belles chambres, cuisines très bien équipées, grande piscine, très bonne semaine de vacances malgré la canicule de ce mois d'août. Descente en canoë des gorges de l'Aveyron conseillée par Simon, un des moments forts du séjour.

It was an absolute pleasure to welcome you and your family to the Mas d'Arjac and we are delighted that you enjoyed your stay. Please hurry back - you will always be welcome!
Accueil très cordial et efficace de Simon. Hébergement très bien équipé et nickel. Une piscine magnifique. Des vacances familiales très réussies, dans un environnement naturel et très calme.
Nous avons été ravis d'accueillir Stéphane et sa famille au Mas d'Arjac et nous sommes ravis qu'ils l'aient trouvé « parfait » ! Nous sommes encore plus heureux qu'ils aient déjà réservé une visite pour la même semaine l'année prochaine, alors à bientôt !
De l'accueil au départ nous avons été touchés par le professionnalisme et l'extrême gentillesse de Simon, le propriétaire du mas... Toute la famille a apprécié le séjour d'une semaine au coeur du Rouergue, propriété idéale pour apprécier les nombreuses activités et visites de la région. Que c'est agréable de profiter de cette belle et grande piscine, de diner sous les étoiles ou de profiter du calme nocturne. Logements bien équipés tout comme les cuisines, chambres confortables. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir
La maison (ou les maisons) sont soignées, adaptées aux grandes familles de 0 à 85 ans.
Le propriétaire au petit soin pour ses hôtes. Les bonnes adresses, les lieux exceptionnels, les bons conseils, les marchés tout nous a été indiqué avec une très grande gentillesse.
Je recommande vivement!
Une location très bien agencée et aménagée en pleine nature , un environnement verdoyant avec une belle piscine . Un lieu idéal pour des vacances en famille avec pas mal de visites et activités à proximité . Et Simon , un super hôte très attentif

About the host
Hosted by Simon Clark
Hi, my name is Simon Clark and I am the owner of Le Mas d'Arjac. I love this part of France and am completely in love with Arjac and the surrounding area! After a long career in tour operating working for a couple of Britain's best known travel companies, I decided to retrain as a teacher and have worked in one of the UK's most prestigious schools for the last 10 years as a teacher of French and Spanish. I love my main job, but the 18 weeks holiday a year has given me the chance to develop the Mas d'Arjac into a wonderful holiday home where I have been lucky enough to welcome and look after families from all over the world over the last nine years.
Why they chose this property
The Mas d'Arjac is superbly situated at the head of a valley, surrounded by woodland and fields, and is very green and very peaceful. The collection of stone buildings which forms the Mas is exceptionally picturesque, and the gardens, terraces and pool area are ample and well maintained for the benefit of our guests. I bought the property to create a haven of relaxation and good-living, and also to run a small arts centre in my upcoming retirement based on the recently restored Atelier which is a beautiful recital room and rehearsal space in the grounds. See my own website for details of yoga and other catered specialist weeks in the Spring and Autumn seasons.
What makes this property unique
I had visited 29 properties in SW France before setting foot in Arjac. It was love at first sight! Most of all I loved its setting, the beauty of the stone buildings and the extensive terraced gardens and pool. Since restoring the Long House and the barn (now the Atelier) the Mas is attracting guests who appreciate the tranquility and high standards of accommodation. They also like the discreet service which we are able to provide (when required) for ideas for visits, restaurants, local markets etc enabling our guests to settle in and start relaxing more quickly.
