Country retreat in the midst of Dordogne's vineyards

An old farmworker's cottage refurbished in a rustic style but with modern amenities, combined recently with a nineteenth century style shepherd's hut. Both are located in their own gardens, with an ample area in front for outdoor dining in front of the gîte.

The kitchen retains original features, including a stone sink but also includes a gas cooker and refrigerator. The handmade oak table easily seats eight.

The shepherds hut is sited on a lower lawn with views of its own towards the stream. It is simply furnished with a double-bed and drop-leaf table. Anyone sleeping here gains a restful retreat but would need to share the bathroom facilities in the gîte itself.

The property is part of a larger group of farm buildings, which now sits among huge fruit trees and well-loved flower gardens. At the bottom of the garden is the Gardonnette stream, shrouded in mature poplars and oaks; a ramblers paradise.

The gîte is set some distance from the main house and has 2 bedrooms, one with its own ensuite bathroom.
