Farmstay in a safari tent or gite, food forest, permaculture and delicious food
Welcome to Simply Canvas Farm, a small scaled holiday destination with 6 safari tents and 3 cottages on 12.5 acres of land. We are calmly situated on the edge of the Dordgone and Lot et Garonne surrounded by vineyards and sunflowers. You will find out place to be all about taking care of nature. Fresh bread for breakfast is included during your stay (you don't get that everywhere), lovely meals with produce from the garden, farm animals and even the safari tents have their own little veggie garden. Of course there is a large enclosed pool. We are close to Bergerac on the edge of the Lot et Garonne and Dordogne in SW France (If you look from your cell phone, keep it on its side, the website will look much nicer).
A Time and a Place for Everyone
High Season weeks for families
In the summer months we receive families and the children are friends as from day one. We cook child friendly and at the end of every week we have a campfire with marshmallows and put a wish in our wish tree.
Holiday with Teenagers
After many requests we now reserve the last two weeks of July especially for families with teenagers (we reserve these dates until midst January). We don't organize anything special, but it is great fun to find other teenagers your age while you are here.
Groups and holiday without kids
During the low season you can join us for a quiet holiday and we reserve our place for "adults only". Or you can join one of the workshops or retreats we regularly organise in the area of dance, writing, mindfulness or even a lovely wellness festival.
Our six Safari Tents offer a true Glamping or luxurious camping experience with each their own bathroom, boxspring beds, electricity and cooking facilities. Or choose one of the three self catering B&B cottages or gites of which one is so spacious you'll never want to leave. All is situated on our 12.5 acre property in the middle of the country side with superb views and of course a large enclosed swimming pool for all. Also all accommodations receive fresh bread for breakfast (you take care of the rest yourself). There is a large permaculture parc of 12.5 acres, the owners offer a warm welcome, there are farm animals and unspoiled views, delicious meals. There is lots of stuff to do in the beautiful surroundings for big and small.
Flower essences
We are very proud to introduce a new product that comes form our own land, flower essences (maybe you know Bach Flowers or Rescue Remedy). They are basically magic drops that work a little like homeopathy and we are happy to share more about them.
