The owners, Lelan and Michel, have created a sanctuary at Le Mourier. Set in a huge clearing in the woods, it is a haven for wildlife and a place of peace and tranquility. Without the noisy intrusions of modern life, we rediscovered the joyous sound of birdsong.
La Grange, the ancient barn, has been imaginatively and painstakingly restored to its present magnificent stone and oak construction. Inside it is equipped with everything we could possibly have needed for our comfort and convenience, including all the household necessities, a generous supply of comestibles and wines!!!!
We spent a lot of our time enjoying the garden and grounds, and in fact ate most of our meals outside on the terrace. We also used the excellent swimming pool almost every day. The black liner really works well, its appearance blending seamlessly into the natural surroundings,
We had great fun one evening when we lit the bonfire which had been laid for us. We sat under the starry night sky and were magically transported back to childhood.
We made a number of visits to nearby markets, towns and bastide villages, including Perigueux, Bergerac and Montflanquin. A boat trip on the Dordogne was a highlight.
Lelan and Michel could not have been more friendly and helpful. They have managed to turn their dream into a brilliant reality - quite an achievement.
We loved our holiday and highly recommend La Grange.
