About this property

Secluded Manor house with pool surrounded by spectacular countryside views

Surrounded by acres of private grounds, mature trees and wonderful vistas around every corner, Chapeau is the ideal place to get away from it all.
Enter through the gates, along the winding wooded drive and leave the outside world behind you. This idyllic rural location is peaceful and private, yet just a five minute stroll to the local village past the neighbouring medieval chateau.
The local village offers a small general store which sells fresh bread/ croissants etc from local boulangeries, a delicatessen selling locally produced meat, 2 traditional French restaurants, one with a small bar.
There is also a village tennis court available for use.
The private pool receives the sun all day and the terraces are positioned to provide the choice between sun or natural shade.
There are large wooden tables with benches and chairs for eating al fresco in the warm summer evenings and you can choose to cook on the coal BBQ or if you're feeling adventurous, the wood pizza oven.
The manor house has retained it's authentic french interior with all of the quirks this brings, from sloping wooden floors to colourful bathrooms and rustic outside areas.
The spacious accommodation is beautifully furnished and well equipped. There are 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms in the main house, with a maximum occupancy of 13.

Please note that we live in a converted barn next to the house.

A lovely old house, full of character and original features. The photos do not do justice to this lovely place. Very well equipped kitchen, even a wine fridge! Pool was great and had the sun all day until early evening. The trampoline was used A Lot by the kids as was the tv room. There was a cupboard full of games and dvds. A lovely living room though we were most of time around the massive kitchen table or out on the terrace after dinner. Loads of parking and very peaceful. The owners are next door and are smashing, and very helpful on a number of occasions. A short walk into Badefols-d’Ans (10 mins) with a tabac shop and bar and 2 super restaurants and a very good pizza takeout. BBQ and pizza oven on the patio (both used and great) a short drive to Hautefort for supermarket and bakery. 5 bedrooms upstairs and one downstairs. 2 rooms with en-suite. Would recommend unreservedly. We were 8 adults and 3 children (7,3,2) and it was perfect.

I organised this trip to celebrate my 70th birthday with my extended family. We had a wonderful time. The period features of this property were lovely. We spent a lot of time in and around the property relaxing and enjoying each others company. Children and grandchildren loved the pool and we all enjoyed having our meals outside on the terrace. The owners were really welcoming and friendly and our grandchildren really enjoyed playing with their children. Thank you for an amazing holiday.

Nous avons passé une semaine fantastique à Chapeau, malgré une météo capricieuse. Chapeau a largement compensé. Le manoir est bien conservé et on a l'impression de remonter le temps. Pourtant, tout le confort moderne est présent. L'hôtesse est très sympathique, accessible et serviable. Chapeau à Jennifer.

Holiday in Dordogne

Very clean and well equipped property. Well maintained pool in very attractive setting. Close to the village with shop and bar. Good shaded outside area for eating. A couple of niggles - weren't expecting to pay extra for house towels. We had the pool heated for the second week as we had a toddler staying but the temperature didn't seem to rise much for the extra 50euros. The outside cushions were definitely passed their best. Overall a good place to stay with very helpful owners.

Fabulous stay

We had the most wonderful stay with Jennifer and Tim. The property is located in a charming village with picturesque views and a stunning pool. The house has lots of different areas so even though we were a lot of people we never felt that we were getting on top of each other. Tim and Jennifer were so helpful and kind and always happy to answer questions. We highly recommend Chapeau!

a wonderful stay

Upon arrival we immediately felt at home and personally I fell a little bit in love with this beautiful property. You will find in Jennifer and Tim (and daughters) wonderful hosts who will make sure you will have a splendid stay. The pool is excellent ( we played a lot of volleybal) we loved sitting in the grand kitchen at night (as it was still a bit cold outside) and play games and relax. The pizzaoven: YES!! Absolute must-do! The house has a lot of character and you may notice here and there that it has been around for quite some time but for us that added to our 10 out of 10 experience we had as a group. We could not have picked a better place to celebrate life with my parents, brothers and family.

Lovely house, pool and owners

Even though we rented in late september, the owners went out of their way to heat the pool and give us some swim days. Also came up with a heater for the 3 year olds room. Charming house.

Séjour réussi

Nous y avons passé 1 semaine avec des amis et leurs jeunes enfants. Le manoir est très joli, spacieux et confortable et les espaces extérieurs très agréable. Les propriétaires vivent à coté mais sont très discrets et également très sympa ! Le village autour est très mignon et on trouve pas mal d'activités dans les alentours. Que de bon, nous recommandons !

Das Haus liegt absolut ruhig und trotzdem erreicht man in knapp 10 Minuten zu Fuß das Dorf, wo man alles findet : eine traditionellen Bäckerei , Metzgerei und einen kleinen Supermarkt . Das Haus ist mit Geschmack eingerichtet. Die Küche ist groß und sehr angenehm. Die Besitzer sind sehr bemüht und bleiben diskret. Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit!

A Great Week Away

Thank you Jennifer & Tim for a great week in your lovely property. We travelled with two other families & enjoyed a great week in this quieter part of the Dordogne. The property provided everything which we were looking for & has some great outdoor areas including the well-sized pool. The week passed all too quickly & we were all sorry to be leaving after what seemed like such a short time!

Birthday celebrations

Delightful owners, most helpful. Spacious, just what we required for a family gathering. I loved the big tables inside and out around which we could eat and chat. The pool was just what we needed. The upstairs bedrooms and bathrooms were excellent but the downstairs bathroom was disappointing. There were so many books, dvds records and games available it was quite astonishing. The village boulangerie is within easy walking distance
