About this property

Luxury 18th Century Dordogne Cottage with Private Pool

Hill Top House is a beautiful French stone farmhouse boasting its own private pool and gardens. It is located at the heart of the Perigord Noir, ideal for exploring all the sites that the Dordogne has to offer.
The property is situated in a secluded tranquil location in grounds of a little over one acre on the small hill top above the village of Coux et Bigaroque-Mouzens. The village is a pleasant 15 minute walk via a small country lane where you will find a boulangerie, cave and a cooperative providing produce from local suppliers.

The spacious open plan kitchen and dining room has oak parquet flooring and oak beams throughout. There is a large fireplace fitted with an efficient wood burning stove to add a cosy touch with a small bergere style couch and fireside chair. There is also an Essex Steinway piano which may be used with care.

The lounge and hallway continue with the oak parquet and oak beams. The lounge is light and spacious, has two large comfortable sofas, a flat screen TV (new 2016), and period furnishings.

Upstairs, there are three spacious bedrooms; the master bedroom with a king-size bed having an en-suite shower room with toilet and washbasin, and a separate dressing room. The other two bedrooms share a large family bathroom with a large shower and separate bath. Bed linens are of fine Egyptian cotton and the bathrooms are supplied with luxury towels.
There is free wi-fi access throughout the property.

The property is heated by an ecological ground source heat pump that supplies hot water to the underfloor heating for the ground floor and to the radiators upstairs in the bedrooms and bathrooms.

Outside there are a number of dining and seating options; there is a sheltered patio next to the house with a small round dining table and chairs and a garden bench; a larger dining table and chairs is situated under a pergola set next to the garage protected by a south facing wall where there is also a second garden bench; and next to the swimming pool there is a terraced area where the sun loungers and other garden chairs can be placed as well as positions for sun shades.

The rectangular swimming pool (10m x 5m) has roman style half round walk in steps and is flat bottomed making it ideal for children and adults alike. There is a further step mid length of the pool taking the depth from 1.3 to 1.5 metres.

The mature garden is generally flat and is ideal for children to run around and play. There is a large trampoline available as well as a badminton net and equipment and a ping pong table is set up under the hanger next to the garage.

Bliss
We had the best holiday ever at this lovely cottage. It was so clean and comfortable. Very quiet, very helpful neighbour when we got lost, very cool having deer coming to eat plums in the garden. Just wonderful and so hope to return one day.

A Little Disappointing Compared to Our Expectations
My wife, daughter, and I stayed here for a week in Summer 2014. Overall, a mixed review. What We Liked: It's a pretty and rustic cottage set in a verdant landscape with a charming exterior. Our daughter also appreciated a nice selection of board games and pool toys. It's big enough for 2 adults and 1 or 2 children. The village of Coux-et-Bigaroque is a 15-minute walk. It's a pleasant village but not particularly interesting or charming. What We Didn't Like/Missed: We missed some creature comforts like a dryer (you have to dry your laundry on a line in the garage), and the house (especially downstairs) had very old-fashioned furniture on the main level (think grandparents' sitting room!). It also wasn't super-comfortable. Other peeves were no bathroom downstairs, the need to cover the swimming pool each night (a very heavy cover), and (least important) we couldn't get the English TV channels to work. While we were there, the owners (who have their main house across the way) weren't in France, which suited us because we prefer privacy when on vacation, but that might otherwise have been an issue because the cottage's pool and backyard are clearly visible from the owners' house's patio. Our only other comment is to advise that it proved very difficult to get our full security deposit refunded, even though my wife took such pains to leave the house in pristine condition. The owners' seemed to have no scruples about retaining a portion of our money. We did eventually get all the money back, but it took a lot of time and effort. So, in summary, a nice cottage but too many issues for us to choose this one for our next visit to the Dordogne.

Stunning villa in great location
Had a wonderful week. Very well equipped villa, both inside and in the garden - plenty to keep the children happy. Pool was wonderful especially with the very hot weather. Beautiful location, very peaceful but close to lots of river beaches where we enjoyed swimming and kayaking. Thank you.
