Ideal holiday cottage in The Dordogne on edge of pretty hamlet. Private pool.

Jules and Murdo Morrison. This is our holiday home and we absolutely love it here. We wish we could come more often but with work and school commitments, we are limited in time, so we thought we would like others to benefit from our beautiful house which is in such peaceful and inspiring surroundings.

As soon as we crossed the bridge over the river which meanders around the village we knew this was a special place. It is achingly beautiful, from the old French working farms which keep the charm of days gone by alive to the stunning views across the valley. We come here every year with our two children and immediately feel relaxed by the laid back pace of life, the welcoming villagers and quiet location.
The pretty stone cottage is a renovated cow barn. It is open plan downstairs with tasteful furniture. It is small but a real gem, with breath taking views across the valley.
The village is on a popular cycle route and because of its beauty it is a regular stopping point for passersby to stop and have their picnics on the tables and benches near to the river.
A picture framer and a bookbinder, with an adjoining cafe, have set up business in the village, adding interest. There is also a working church next door but one to our cottage.
There's a vineyard a 40 minute walk away, with a viewing tower and a great bar to have some cocktails. There are also the most amazing walks on the cottage's doorstep and with the River Dordogne just 20 minutes drive away, it is great fun to take out a canoe.
For us it is the tranquility of the cottage that we love so much. As soon as we arrive we take a deep sigh, relax and look forward to waking in the morning to the wonderful sound of birdsong.

The property has a very private pool with a light for night swimming.
Sitting on the terrace you can look across the stunning valley, taking in the sound of the cows in the nearby field, tractors passing by and the odd gecko rustling in the undergrowth.
