About this cottage rental
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.

Five acres of gardens and fields to wander in. A quaint, spotless gite with parking on site. Hosts who know when to invite you to a wine tasting or music event and when to leave you in the quiet solitude of your own patio. Our digital space is so filled with hyperbole these days that to use the terms 'special, unique, extraordinary' seems trite. And yet, they apply. Buy some fresh eggs from the neighbour. If Tony invites you to dinner, say yes. He's an amazing chef. If Maurice invites you to wander through the Dorgogne, say yes. Remember it's a gite, not a five-star hotel - although it can feel like one when the sun rises above the trees. I plan on returning as soon as I can.

Maurice was the perfect host, a very likeable person, very friendly and approachable.
The setting is about 20-30 mins drive from Bergerac in the middle of the French countryside. The cottage is very rustic and quaint. When the sun is shining it's an idillic setting set back away from the main house with total privacy.
The Bedroom is spacious and the bed is very comfortable, the stairs are quite steep so you need your wits about you if you need to visit the loo in the night.
The kitchen is rustic, in particular the sink but although lovely it isn't very practical, however there is everything you need to cook a meal, just one observation, personally we would have liked more crockery/cutlery/glassware, we made do but choice is limited. On a positive there is a huge fridge freezer and Maurice left us some home made elderflower cordial and sparkling water which was a nice touch.
All in all it's a lovely property and ideal for exploring the local area or indulging in total relaxation.

Maurice was welcoming and had the wood burner going as the weather was wet and chilly (not so good for early Sept). We found the cottage rustic and quaint, pretty much as advertised. Unfortunately the weather remained unseasonable and we really think the cottage would be at its best when it's warm and you can eat and sit outside. We found it a little gloomy and needed the light on in the daytime. Maurice lit the stove each day so it was warm when we came in......and we needed it. Thank you for welcoming us and our dog.
