Our guests will receive a welcome pack so please let me know if you have any allergies.
We have another apartment at the front of the property that is totally private from this one. We stayed on holiday in the apartment and absolutely loved it, can’t believe 6 months later we ended up buying it!
There are 2 hybrid bikes in the pool room for guests to use, cycling is lovely along the minor lanes and river. There are also many hiking trails in the area.
To discourage refuse we have supplied recycling bags and built a compost for all your vegetable peelings etc.
The apartment is surrounded by the countryside with wonderful views over the dordogne hills. We are also wildlife enthusiasts and are turning some of the grounds into a wildflower meadow with paths cut through so guests can wonder amongst it all looking for butterflies etc. if you see a dandelion on the drive please forgive us as these are rich in nectar for the bees. You may even see deer, hare and hear the wild boar as they are very secretive, we definitely have them in our woods. The hundreds of cranes flying over is amazing to see.
We are only an 15 min walk to the vllage that has the river lisle running through it where you can enjoy picnics. There is also a very popular restaurant, pharmacy, grocery store with boulangerie and sports bar. We are only a 10 min drive to the town of Thiviers with its weekly market. There are 3 supermarkets Lidls, Intermarche Super and Auchan plus banks with ATMs. The historic village of Saint Jean De Cole is only an 15 min drive, the beautiful town of Brantome is only a 30 min drive with its huge weekly market, you can hire kayaks here for the more adventurous. Jumilhac Castle is another must to visit. For those with a sense of adventure and only 5 mins away is the Veloraol du PERIGORD ( it’s a 2hr ride pedalling on a railway buggy on a disused railway track through woodland, over bridges, through tunnels and past abandoned stations. For cyclists there is the disused 40km long railway track from Thiviers to Nontron. If you enjoy willd swimming there is the swimming lake at Plan d’eau Nantheuil with its beaches close by.
