Whilst retaining original features such as massive oak beams and a stone fireplace, it also provides modern conveniences such as a modern kitchen, washing machine, TV/DVD/Video (Sheets, towels etc. are provided and electricity and fuel are included in the price.) There is also a large collection of DVDs, CDs and books for rainy days or evenings.

The cottage is set in large gardens with panoramic views looking West to the château at Villebois Lavalette, and South to the Dordogne. It is an area of quiet, unspoilt charm with a wonderful sunny climate and friendly people.

Activities available in the area include walking, swimming, cycling, fishing and bird-watching. There is an area of Special Scientific Interest nearby which boasts many different species of orchid as well as various interesting Roman and pre-historic discoveries. St.Emillion and Cognac are not far away and provide a very enjoyable outing. The major cities of Bordeaux, Poitiers, Bergerac, Périgueux and Angoulême are all within easy reach for a day out. The beautiful town of Brantôme is half an hour’s drive away. The immediate area has several charming market towns – the nearest boulangerie is two miles away, so fresh baguettes and croissants are easy to obtain in time for breakfast!

The cottage is also ideal for house-hunters, or those wishing to stay somewhere whilst waiting to move house. With its wood-burning stove, good accessibility to airports, and peaceful situation, it is a wonderful place to go for a winter break to get away from the pressures of work.
