If in doubt bring your bikes - the leafy country lanes & paths are idyllic for cycling with almost no traffic. Canoes and kayaks can be hired from Montbron (10 minutes away) and Brantome for 1 hour to 1 day, depending on how energetic you are feeling. There is a very good quality 18 hole golf course (Golf de La Preze) approx 10 minutes away.This region is lovely for walking and there are many well-marked footpath routes to suit all ages. Horse riding is available at various local riding stables. There are 3 tennis courts at Bussiere Badil. The great local pastime is fishing and the owners can probably arrange for some private fishing nearby, alternatively permits can be purchased locally for the lakes and rivers within a short drive. This region has many local leisure lakes with beach areas, supervised swimming, pedalos etc, all listed at the property. |

What visitors have said about Chez Tendeau |
| |

"Of all the houses in which we have stayed in France we enjoyed our time at Chez Tendeau the most because of the peace and tranquility of the area and grounds, and the spaceous interior which Meena and Martin have sympathetically restored. The children felt that they had their own wing of the house and of course loved the pool. The house is away from main roads and feels very safe for children; we should have brought their bikes. The countryside is also hilly enough for interesting ( grown up) road cycling and there are some excellent local markets and places to visit which Meena and Martin indicated in their comprehensive house notes. We were sorry to have to leave. Susanna and Gavin Lockheart"

Dear Meena & Martin We had a fantastic time at Chez Tendeau. The house is beautiful with fantastic views. The swimming pool was great and all in such a peaceful setting. We can not wait to come again. Please could you let us know the prices for next year so that we can book up early? Best regards Iris & Nic Coman

"Vous qui recherchez le calme, le bon goût et la campagne, « Chez Tendeau » est fait pour vous. Pas plus de 3 voitures par jour sur cette petite route de campagne, la piscine pour bien en profiter et le jardin pour se prélasser, « Chez Tendeau » est une vieille ferme excellemment rénovée par les propriétaires des lieux. Fraîche même lors de fortes chaleurs, meublée avec goût… nous y avons passé 15 jours délicieux. A recommander… mais pas trop ! Sinon, vous y viendrez et il n'y aura plus de place pour nous ! Meena et Martin, je vous embrasse. Vincent Laffargue"
