Mile upon mile of listed footpaths surround the area with walks winding through woods, along streams and taking in some magnificent views. Detailed maps of the 20 most spectacular walks in the Dordogne are available, one of which runs along the boundary of the grounds. Walkers are totally spoilt for choice with outstanding countryside in all directions. The Waters family live on site and are on hand and willing to help with any queries or assistance you may require. We are happy to arrange transport for guests to and from airports or to Sarlat or other local villages during the evening should you wish to partake of the local wine or perhaps just want to leave the car behind. |

My husband and I had a lovely time at this holiday home. They are set up ideally with lots of privacy. The pictures on the website are exactly what you get...lovely furnished rooms, tranquilty, superb views. Chris and Kate are there to help so you truly enjoy for a short time their beautiful location. The location is great for rest at the end of a busy day because there is lots to see very close by. The location would appeal to any age and I would love to go to visit again.

If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle then these gites are the perfect location. Chris and his wife are very knowledgeable on the area and can help with planning your sightseeing. The views are stunning and to sit on the terrace with a glass of wine and enjoy the tranquility is just wonderful. There are lots of lovely walks and the only sounds you will hear are birdsong and the occasional tractor going past. A 15 minute drive takes you into the beautiful town of Sarlat and there are dozens of chateaux and castles in the surrounding area. The gites are clean and well furnished and a lovely place to come back to after a day sightseeing.
