About this property

Peaceful Dordogne location, nature lovers paradise.

Nestling in its own private valley at the the end of a secluded track, lies Le Moulin du Gravier.
Although less than 20 minutes from Bergerac airport and the A89 Autoroute, this cottage benefits from a totally secluded and peaceful location in the tiny hamlet of St Martin des Combes, amongst trees and in its own private valley. the property overlooks a beautiful natural water source which is visited frequently by a Kingfisher. There is an abundance of wildlife and birds and in summer, many butterflies visit for the wild orchids that thrive in the surrounding fields.

The building itself benefits from being all on one level, making it suitable for people who may have limited mobility and comprises a large dual aspect bedroom with king size bed. Unfortunately both the bedroom and bathroom do not offer sufficient width to allow wheelchair access. The large living area has a well equipped kitchen and a two sofa sitting area with flat screen TV and a wood burning stove. French doors open out onto a terrace with water source and views over paddocks (BBQ provided). The shower room with sink and toilet are fully tiled and benefits from underfloor heating.
Further accommodation for two friends/family is available in our Shepherds Hut which comprises a rustic Kitchen Diner, private terrace and full bathroom facilities.

The swimming pool is also walled and private with its own solar shower it is exclusively for the use of guests.
The cottage is conveniently situated between Perigueux and Bergerac.

Wonderful retreat
The gite was beautifully presented and fully equipped. The location was a good distance to Bergerac and local restaurants. The salt water-pool was cleaned and maintained on a daily basis and was a nice haven away from the gite. The owners Michael and Louise were a lovely couple and a wealth of knowledge and were able to recommend local amenities and sites. A truly exceptional week in the beautiful country side of S W France.

Wow just brilliant
What an amazing holiday and an amazing location. The property is truly outstanding, cosy clean and very private. The pool has the 5 star wow factor, clean warm and totally private. We felt terrible that Mike and Louise did not use it when we were there as they respect total privacy despite the heat. Mike and Louse are brilliant hosts, friendly and easy to get on with. We thoroughly enjoyed their company as well as Daniel who is the caretaker. Love the dogs and the quiet location. We had an amazing time. Thank you. Pete and Jean

Relaxing and tranquil
Fantastic, peaceful week in the Dordogne! Gite and setting were everything that were advertised. Michael and Louise were always available when needed but also very respectful of privacy. Would definitely recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Michael Baker

Host profile image
We have a farm near Canterbury.
We share our time between both the farm and our home in France. Our passion is nature, wildlife and peaceful surroundings. We love searching local markets for antiques and artisan food producers. We also are involved in the local animal rescue centre in Bergerac and have two rescue Weimeraner dogs that Louise trains and uses for displays at dog charity events, to help promote re-habilitation of unwanted dogs.

Why they chose this property

We first came to the Dordogne 20 years ago, camping and then self-catering and discovered this lovely area after renting a house nearby. We bought the house in 2000, it was love at first sight! For us, the location was perfect; quiet and private, although it has needed a lot of improvements, we feel it is our own piece of paradise.

What makes this property unique

The Moulin du Gravier's unique position is itself truly special; the tranquillity and peace in this hidden valley just has to be experienced.

The swimming pool is for the exclusive use of our guests and is a real sun trap, benefitting from a solar shower and luxury sunloungers with shades. It has lovely views across the valley and forests and is totally private.
