Details on the area surrounding the property/accommodation |
|
| |
The cabin is surrounded by mature forest, there are lots of well marked bridle paths for walking/cycling. The landscape of rolling hills provides pasture for cattle and agriculture,there are markets in the nearby towns of Nontron and Piegut-Pluviers, and bathing lakes nearby. There are beautiful walks through the forest that will take you to quiet, sleepy hamlets and you're still within easy cycling distance of local restaurants, bars & shops. The markets are a splendid way to sample the world-famous local produce and you'll find the people friendly & relaxed.
Alternatively, you could spend the day drifting around the lake on the raft, or maybe even enjoy some "wild swimming"! |

Interior Details |
This little oak-framed building was built entirely from timber from our own woods, even the doors, windows & some of the furniture! The cabin is furnished with a mixture of junk-shop gems and recycled bits & bobs. Downstairs there is the main living area, galley kitchen, wc and showerroom and double bedroom. Up the "zero-emissions" staircase is a mezzanine style bedroom with 2 single beds with views over the lake. The kitchen is well equipped. There's a little library with an eclectic mix of books including guide books and maps and also binoculars and a compass. If the surroundings inspire you then we've provided some art materials, as well as some board games for passing a rainy day.

Further Details |
Fisherman's Cabin lies around 3 kilometres from the villages of Augignac and St Estéphe and about 6 kilometres from the town of Nontron in the northern Dordogne. Other villages and hamlets are nearby & nearly all are accessible by bridle paths. There is no television, no dvd or cd players. A wind-up radio is your contact with the outside world, nature will provide all other entertainment free of charge!
The variety of flora & fauna around the cabin is astonishing. Sit quietly and you'll see, amongst others, deer, pine martens, stoats and possibly even wild boar! The lake is home to our own coypu (like a beaver), kingfisher, buzzards, herons, owls and numerous varieties of dragonflies & butterflies.
