About this cottage rental

Les Bardeaux Gite Rouge

Stunning rural retreat with enclosed garden and natural swimming pool.

2 bedroomed gite set in 7 and a half acres of private meadow and woodland.

This luxurious holiday gite is in a stunning area of the Dordogne countryside with many beautiful local walks on our doorstep. It has an enclosed garden and exclusive access to a natural swimming pool.

Les Bardeaux Gite Rouge 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, restaurant, 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 withing 10 minutes drive from us.

Set in gorgeous grounds with an enclosed garden, ideal for families 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, natural swimming pool and hammock seats for you to enjoy at various spots around the grounds.

Les Bardeaux Gite Rouge is a very family-friendly place to stay. The gite itself has a child safety-gate at the top of the stairs, a baby bath, changing mat, cot, high chair and play-pen.

There is an outside play area, with a swing/rope apparatus; and also games provided: boules (petanque), tennis, badminton, football, basketball and table-tennis.

There is a natural swimming pool, with a shallow paddling area for young children. It is a really beautiful to look at and to swim in. Because it is a natural pool, the liner can be slippery, so guests may wish to bring rubber beach shoes. Lots of wildlife is attracted to the pool, including a resident kingfisher (there are no fish in the pool), dragonflies, frogs and newts.

There are a variety of bikes for guests to use for free, although you will need to bring your own cycle helmets. The woods and the grounds here are a natural children's playground! We have two horses, Hugo and Postit, who are very partial to the odd carrot - but please ask permission before you feed them. Our hens are always extremely popular with children.

We have our own very friendly and loveable lurchers, Roo 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/s to Les Bardeaux Gite Rouge.

We are spoilt for choice for walks right on our doorstep. 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 natural swimming pool, so 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 is a creperie, pub, patisserie and post office.

La Ferme du Lac is a lovely 17th century restored farmhouse bar/restaurant 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 Rouge is not suitable for those with mobility issues/wheel chair users.

A wonderful stay

This well equipped, comfortable house is in a peaceful oasis of nature with a natural pond, meadow and garden. There are so many beautiful villages and towns to visit nearby and a variety of walks in the forest and quiet country roads. The hosts are very friendly and helpful but also give you space to relax and enjoy your holiday. I would highly recommend Les Bardeaux gîtes.

We had a really pleasant stay at the gîte des Bardeaux. We enjoyed the calm and nature surrounding us. The gîte is well equipped and the welcome basket is just perfect. Sophie and Craig are very considerate hosts. We greatly recommand!

I had a wonderful stay at Sophie & Craig’s gîte. The thing that made it was the warm welcome from Sophie & Craig. It was January and so, cold, but Sophie would bring me a wheelbarrow full of logs for the wood-burning stove every morning! My dog, Jack, played happily in the garden and it was perfect for him, with lots of walks. All in all, a great stay!
