A Country Idyll

The Piggery is a wonderful place for a truly relaxing holiday. It is surrounded by large gardens and beautiful countryside, is well equipped and is an ideal base for exploring the tourist attractions of the Dordogne area.

Perfect hideaway

We had an idyllic stay in 'The Piggery' at Le Verger. It is cosy and comfortable, very private and perfect for a get-away-from-it-all holiday, which is what we wanted. Uninterrupted views over beautiful rolling countryside, peaceful and unspoilt but with comfy bed and a fully equipped kitchen and bathroom. We had a truly relaxing holiday, with a few days spent exploring the area with its leisure lake and original cave art. We will definitely come again.

Une semaine idyllique qui m'a semblé très courte

Ca a été un magnifique point de chute me permettant de retrouver famille et amis du coté d'Angoisse et de Thiviers, et de faire un petit détour à Royan. On a eu le temps de faire le plein de spécialités gourmandes typique de Dordogne.

Beau lieu de ressourcement

Le calme des environs, le lever de soleil sur la propriété et le charme du gîte ont favorisé une belle pause. La cascade du Saut Ruban à St-Mesmin vaut le détour. Des hôtes discrets et attentifs. Un lieu à découvrir !

Idéal pour qui aime la nature, location parfaite pour 2 personnes

Il faut savoir que les villages alentour se meurent...nature très belle qui compense le reste..nous avons beaucoup apprécié en découvrant le coin à vélo..il faut juste accepter d'acheter sa baguette à 12kms..

traditional charm with contemporary comfo

Le Verger is a beautiful old stone maison in the French provincial style, set in glorious rolling countryside, with views of unspoilt nature all around. It is also close to pretty villages, an old forge, a leisure lake, ancient perigord towns and the Dordogne river. We loved exploring the area and the famous Lascaux caves too. The house was equipped with everything necessary for our stay including a large kitchen diner including up to date mod cons and spotless rooms with comfortable beds. We will be returning to Le Verger in future as it is perfect for our family holidays.
