We would love to welcome you to the beautiful "Guyenne" area of the Lot-et-Garonne countryside and to our 350 year old farmhouse which now boasts three cottages of varying styles and sizes.
Le Herison is maximum occupancy of two (one double bed) and has a mezzanine floor, vaulted ceilings and has been furnished and decorated in a contemporary "loft style" including stylish lighting, impressive Hi-Fi and beech furniture.
Our cottages are larger than average and very fully equipped - each with its own private garden and bar-b-que, dishwasher, washing machine, TV/video with English channels, Hi-Fi, electric heating and double glazing for the chillier winter months (except Au Matou with log burning fireplace). Nearly all the furniture is new for this season.
The TWO swimming pools are both 11m x 5m with roman steps, pool houses, solar showers etc. All bed linen and towels except beach towels are provided.
We are 10/15 minutes from two lakes with all sporting facilities (quad bikes/horse riding/flumes/beaches etc.) an hour from the coast and St.Emilion and five minutes from beautiful bars, restaurants, bastide fortified villages, chateau, caves etc. (children VERY welcome in all restaurants.) The farmhouse is set in seven acres of peaceful countryside with walks from your front door and as hosts we will be inconspicuous (our house is 150 metres away) or we can organise wine tasting trips etc. we will leave it to you. In the Winter months we are happy to organise cooking/wine tasting and house hunting weekends and will happily put you in touch with local Estate Agents.
For a relaxing stay in some of the most beautiful french countryside then please do not hesitate to contact us.

Les Baies is newly converted at the rear of the building and has been designed to be disabled friendly. As you come through the front door there is a cloakroom with W/C and basin ahead with a large kitchen/dining/living room with french doors onto a patio which is furnished for outdoor living including bar-b-que. The kitchen is equipped with large fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, microwave and gas cooker. The original stone walls are in evidence as are the newly tiled floors and new double glazed hardwood windows and doors have been fitted. Electric heating is installed for the chillier winter months. Off the living room which is equipped with TV/VHS/CD Hi-Fi is a hall which runs to the master double bedroom, a twin bedroom and a shower room with W/C, basin and shower. The furnishings are all new in a mixture of wicker and pine. |

Within easy reach of the cottages are the 12th -14th century Bastide towns of Duras with vineyards and chateau, Eymet, Miramont de Guyenne and slightly further afield the acknowledged Monpazier.
If history is your thing then this area is rich in human history from Cro-Magnon man in the Dordogne Valley to huge castles used during the hundred years war. Lascaux 2 offers a chance to see some of the best early cave paintings whilst Beynac et Cazenac, Sarlat, Domme and Castelnaud have huge medieval connections and are very picturesque.
The Lot et Garonne, Dordogne and Gironde are famous for their gastronomy and local dishes include oysters, duck, foie gras and the infamous truffle. Local wines are well renowned from summery rosés to thick, fruity reds and the unusual sweet Monbazillac - a good Sauterne rival.
