About this property

Comfortable stone 4-bedroom country house with large 6m x 6 m family room

'Le Verger' is a charming and comfortable old stone house (120 sq.m.) set in its own gardens with views onto the rolling Dordogne-Perigord countryside. The attic bedrooms feature original beams and stone walls. The front south facing terrace is ideal for barbecues and there is a large 6 m x 6 m family room at the rear of the house, with 6 French windows looking onto the beautiful quiet gardens.
Nearby horse riding, lake, ideal for walks and bird watching, within reach of the prehistoric wall art of the Lascaux caves, and the famous Dordogne villages (Sarlat, Les Eyzies). 'Le Verger' is situated at the meeting point of three French departments (Dordogne, Correze and Haute Vienne), all fascinatingly different in their landscape, building style, history and gastronomy.
SATURDAY to SATURDAY bookings only in July and August. Cleaning is £80. NO BED LINEN OR TOWELS PROVIDED _ PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN.

Gîte coup de cœur dans un lieu de charme.

Nous avons été très séduits par la grande maison de Michèle et David qui nous ont accueilli avec bienveillance et disponibilité. Tout y est confortable, plein de charme et reposant. La vue depuis la terrasse est très belle ; l'environnement très calme. Nous avons aimé aussi nous rafraîchir à la rivière voisine, faire du canoë sur la Vézère ou rayonner à la découverte de la région. Nous recommandons, par exemple, les châteaux de Hautefort et de Jumilhac ou la très remarquable grotte de Tourtoirac... Un immense merci encore pour l'accueil qui nous a été réservé. Nous recommandons chaleureusement ce lieu et ces propriétaires qui louent aussi une petite maison à côté, bien séparée pour l'intimité.

Logement rustique adapté pour 2 couples avec 2 enfants, le logement mériterait quelques rafraichissements. Extérieure plus que correcte et terrasse couverte plus qu'agréable. Dans l'ensemble, nous avons passé un bon séjour.

La maison est charmante dans un endroit très paisible

Nous avons séjourné avec trois enfants et le chien. La maison est entourée de champs dans lesquels nous avons pu courir et cueillir des mûres. La terrasse est grande et ombragée juste comme il faut! Nous avons adoré aller à la rivière aux forges tout près: se baigner, pêcher l'écrevisse, chercher de l'or... Il faut prendre la voiture pour la plupart des activités mais il y a une multitude de choses à faire à quelques kilomètres. Nous reviendrons en Dordogne!

Beautiful stone house in the country

Comfortable rooms and a perfect house for 2 families. New decking got the morning sun so breakfast on the deck and the front garden, patio and BBQ got the evening sun - perfection! A lovely (unless you don't like hills) cycle in the country to get the bread and croissants every day. Lac du Rouffiac was idyllic but there are plenty of lovely lakes within a short drive and on route to some very pretty and interesting towns.

Spacious Accomodation - lots to do nearby

We really enjoyed our stay at Le Verger and found a lot to do in the surrounding area. Kitchen well equipped, coped well with preparing meals for 8. Veranda space was a boon as the Perigord weather wasn't at it's best for our visit. Huge fireworks nearby for the 15th August party. Lots to do at the Ruffiac lake, kept our 4 children (9-15) well occupied with swimming, tree climbing and even water skiing. Great mountain bike trails to discover too - expect some stiff climbs to go with the descents - most of the marked footpaths are suitable for MTB too. Less than 90 mins to Rocamadour. Jardins de l'imagination was worth a visit (guided in French with some notes in English). Grottes de Tourtoirac were spectacular and on the doorstep (20 mins). Canoeing on the Auzevere was good too - in spite of the lack of water. Prize for best local supermarket goes to Carrefour Connect in Julliac (12 km). We were only visiting for one week and did try to do a couple of things each day, but we know Perigord Vert has much more to offer.

Beautiful old French house with loads of original features in quiet hamlet with countryside views.

Loved our stay at Le Verger. Beautiful old house and gardens with rural countryside views. Fully equipped. Fab bar/restaurant 1 mile away. Owner will order croissants and baguettes if you order night before. Great Lake in nearby rouffiac with swimming beach and loads of activities. Supermarkets close by. So peaceful at house with lovely covered deck area out back for leisurely meals or just quiet contemplation. 10/10

Samantha and Andy and family were the perfect guests. I was lucky enough to be staying next door when they were there and it was a pleasure to get to know them. They really made the most of what the house and the area had to offer, and left the house so clean it was if they hadn't been there! They are welcome back any time ( and we hope we are there to see them). David

Perfect base for relaxation and easy access to stunning locations

We had an incredible week made all the better by such a lovely base. the property is full of character and has an owner who ensures everything is just right for you. We spent a week visiting the highlights of the Dordogne region with nothing more than a 75 minute drive away. Pretty much perfect

Beautiful old French farmhouse set amid p

Beautiful old French farmhouse set amid peaceful, rolling hills. Village with bar just 20 minutes walk away and, within 5-10km, numerous villages that time forgot . The house is furnished with all you might need and decorated tastefully in the old French style, very comfortable. Views at the back of the house are glorious and make a wonderful setting for an al fresco breakfast. This house sleeps many and is perfect for a family reunion. We enjoyed canoeing on the river, visiting the Lascaux caves, seeing where Josephine Baker founded her rainbow children's home, exploring fabulous ancient towns and simply hanging out together, eating outside and BBQ-ing together.

Charming and peaceful retreat

We really enjoyed our stay at Le Verger, set in the beautiful French country side, it was so peaceful and charming! The house had so much character, was very clean and well equipped and we enjoyed eating our meals looking out over the wonderful landscape. There were many things to do with-in easy reach, including exploring the near-by towns, restaurants, historic Forge and the Rouffiac Lake. I can't wait to come back, thank you for a wonderful stay!
