In the heart of the Dordgone, just minutes from the beautiful riverside villages of Beynac and La Roque Gageac and the hill top village of Domme, lies La Prairie. Dominating the hamlet of Le Peyruzel we have tried to create the perfect place for your much deserved holiday.
The Farmhouse sleeps 8 people and can also accommodate babies in cots. There are four bedrooms in total and the main double room with its huge bed is a wonderful room with fantastic views across to the 13th century chateau that sits atop the village in Le Peyruzel.
There is also a 2nd double bedroom, a single bedroom and a family bedroom that comprises a single bed and bunk beds. On this first floor is also the bathroom with bath, overhead shower, toilet and a sink. All of these rooms have lovely views and have been beautifully decorated. Downstairs you will find the spacious accommodation that comprises the living room, the hallway and the kitchen.
The lounge room has 2 huge soft couches which surround the lovely old brick fireplace that has a wood burner for the cooler months. Here there is the satellite TV and DVD. The hallway is as lovely and has a separate toilet with hand basin and access to the two terraces. Off from here is the huge kitchen which is fully equipped and also has a separate larder and access to the terrace at the rear of the house.
The two terraces are at opposing sides of the house and the first one is the covered front porch. Here you will find wicker chairs complete with cushions and tables; it is a wonderful place from which to watch the birds or the hot air balloons come up from the valley in the early morning or the evening.
The other terrace is where you will find the teak table for your al fresco meals and also a separate table with 4 chairs. There is a little porch here over the kitchen door (visible in the photographs) and we have also installed a lovely steel pergola for the wisteria which covers most of the terrace.
We have tried to create the loveliest place possible for our guests, making this lovely house comfortable, cozy and welcoming. This has been aided by the addition of a Welsh Dresser in the kitchen, lovely rugs and curtains and comfortable furniture.
Outside there is the covered double garage. Down in the courtyard you will find the washroom which we have tried to make as complete as possible in order to make the inevitable washing and ironing as painless as possible. We also provide cots, high chairs, bedding, towels, bath mats, tea towels, pool towels (The Farmhouse only) videos, strollers etc all free of charge.
In the same courtyard is the wonderful toy barn which, as some of our guests have informed us, has been absolutely essential in making their holiday as successful as it was! It is in this same courtyard that you find our three other stunning properties.
The swimming pool is, as some of our friends/guests have informed us, the 'piece de resistance' of the whole Estate. Not content with a 11x5 standard liner pool, David decided to build something special, something unique. The pool is on a salt water system (no chlorine=no red eyes) and has been constructed with children in mind. We decided to build a sloping access to the pool and we call it the beach. This has been the starting point for many a cautious child to venture into the water and take their first strokes! There are also steps and it is more than deep enough in the deep end for diving. Disliking liners we decided to tile the pool and the effect is totally different than that of your average swimming pool. The water is the color of the seas in the Caribbean. The addition of the pool house in 2007 is amazing and now we have it in place we cannot imagine how we ever did without it. We built it using oak beams - the roof is totally exposed from underneath - and antique tiles for the roof itself. There are plenty of tables and chairs for your comfort and for the pool itself we have provided numerous wooden sun loungers and parasols too.
There is a playground at the top of the Estate and plenty of our own private land for you to wander off.
All other details are on our lovely website.
We hope that you will join us before too long and that we can welcome you to La Prairie. |
