Renovated Stone Farmhouse

Description

The farmhouse has been modernised to a high standard to make it comfortable for guests whilst maintaining its original character. It sits adjacent to the owners' main house, a converted barn. It benefits from a modern fitted kitchen, log burner, satellite TV, DVD and Wi-Fi. Both bathrooms have baths, heated towel rails and the one downstairs has a thermostatically controlled shower. There is private parking for 2 cars adjacent to the cottage. Guests have their own entrance through the garden behind the cottage, where there is a patio with tables and chairs, a BBQ and loungers, umbrellas and outdoor sofa for comfortable alfresco living and dining. Included is the use of the owners’ pool which has lovely views and a large terrace with sun beds and umbrellas. The cottage benefits from facing east to make the most of the morning and evening sun, while keeping it cool through the day. The farmhouse is the perfect starting point for walks or cycle trips through the quiet local lanes to nearby medieval villages. Sainte-Sabine, only a few minutes away by car, has a bakery, post-office and several restaurants, including La Gentilhommière which boasts a Michelin star. The cottage is ideally situated for those wanting to enjoy the beauty of the French countryside while being within driving distance of the Dordogne and Vézère valleys, where you can see everything from splendid chateaux to the world-famous cave paintings at Lascaux. For the more energetic, there is kayaking on the Dordogne which we can highly recommend! The wine tours of Bergerac and the town itself (30 minutes away) are well worth a visit as are the local Bastide villages with their shops, restaurants, bars and wonderful weekly markets and summer food festivals.
Bordeaux and Toulouse are both within a 2 hour car journey.

A welcome pack will be made available with all you need for your first night's stay here, complete with a bottle of fizz.
