About this house rental

Stunning Couple's Retreat - situated in a peaceful and tranquil setting surrounded by 7 and a half acres of woodland and fields, this beautiful one bedroomed gite provides the perfect setting for a romantic get away. This traditional Perigord Vert accommodation comprises modern living, a log fired hot-tub and a secluded and enclosed garden - just in case you wish for your 4 legged friend to join you. A range of beautiful woodland walks are accessible from your front door.

This luxurious holiday gite is in a stunning area of the Dordogne countryside with many beautiful local walks on our doorstep.

Les Bardeaux Gite Bleu is at the end of a quiet little hamlet, within the Perigord Vert region of the Dordogne, but still close enough to enjoy local villages, towns and attractions, with our closest village just 3 and a half kms away, which offers a patisserie/boulangerie, post office, info site, pub, and creperie. Our nearest supermarket is just 15 minutes drive away. We are just 50 mins drive from Limoges airport. Three restaurants are within 10 minutes drive from us.

Set in gorgeous grounds, ideal for couples and dogs, Les Bardeaux offers peace and tranquility and a chance to recharge your batteries. The ethos is all about enjoying nature: with our own woodlands, meadow, and wood-fired hot-tub for you to enjoy.

Les Bardeaux Gite Bleu is a very peaceful and tranquil place to stay. The gite itself has a modern kitchen, smart TV, log burner, bedroom balcony and large king sized bed.

The modern wood-fired hot-tub is situated within the enclosed garden. Wood is provided for guests to light the stove and heat the water.

There are a variety of bikes for guests to use for free, although you will need to bring your own cycle helmets. We have two horses, Hugo and Postit, who are very partial to the odd carrot - but please ask permission before you feed them.

We have our own very friendly and loveable lurchers, Lexy and Ted. They love people and other dogs. We understand how difficult it can be to find truly dog-friendly accommodation and whole-heartedly welcome your dog to Les Bardeaux Gite Bleu.

We are spoilt for choice for walks right on our doorstep and have 7 and a half acres of woodland and meadows for you to exercise your dog in. If you need a dog-sitter or dog-walker then we are always very willing to help,  for a small additional charge. We can also provide a dog crate and/or doggy blankets.

We love nature and are trying to be as eco-friendly as we can. We recycle as much as possible and encourage guests to do the same. We do not need to use chemicals in the hot-tub. This means it is so much kinder on your skin and feels so much nicer to bathe in.

The area around Les Bardeaux is breath-taking. There are countless walks right on our doorstep, through woods and hamlets, around lakes and meadows. It is paradise for ramblers, nature lovers, dog-walkers and cyclists.

The nearest village, Abjat-sur-Bandiat, is just 3 and a half kms away. It is possible to walk there along the walking tracks and takes about 45 minutes. If you're not feeling that energetic, it is just a few minutes in the car, or a short cycle ride away. There you will find a creperie, pub and boulangerie.

Saint Saud lake is a very short cycle ride away, or about 6 minutes by car. It is an absolutely stunning place to swim, walk, or enjoy a meal at the pizzeria situated right next to the lake.

La Ferme du Lac is a lovely 17th century restored farmhouse bar/restaurant that nestles at the bottom of a wooded valley with its own lake. It’s a lovely place for relaxing over a drink in the sunshine. It is possible to walk there along the footpaths, taking about 45 mins. It is just a few minutes’ drive away, or you can cycle there.

Les Bardeaux is in the Perigord Vert (Green Perigord) region of the Dordogne where there are countless outdoor activities, towns/villages, historical buildings/chateaux and caves, and swimming lakes to visit.

Note: Gite Bleu is not suitable for those with mobility issues/wheelchair users.

Wonderful property which had everything we wanted and more. Sophie and Craig are great hosts, you never feel watched but they're always available if needed. The garden is a good size, sunny all day and fully fenced - and with a selection of walks (all with swimming opportunities) from the door our dog was very happy.We'd not been to the area before and didn't know what to expect, but found that, whilst not spectacular, it's beautiful and relaxed with many things to see and do. The tourist attractions like Chateau Chalus-Chabrol, Villars cave or the medieval village of St Jean de Cole are pretty understated but well worth visiting.We'd love to return to the area at some time and would definitely use the gite bleu again.We hadn't been to the area before.

A lovely small cottage, perfect for two with a dog in the country. Exactly as advertised. Beautiful walks surrounding and very friendly and attentive hosts. Thank you.

Lovely gite, owners are discrete but on hand if you need them. The welcome wine, and biscuits etc is a nice touch when you have travelled a long way. The gite it self has everything you need, and the bed was very comfy. We enjoyed all the walks nearby and had a relaxing time. Thank you Craig & Sophie.
