About this cottage rental

Walnut is a lovely stone cottage that sits as part of a small cluster of buildings on gentle slope next to its sister cottage Truffle, on the edge of the traditional working hamlet of Le Peyruzel. The outline of the 13th century Chateau Peyruzel is ever present as it looks down across the valley. It is fair to say that the best position of our entire cluster of properties is to be had from the terrace of Walnut! It is in a truly tranquil spot where you can relax unwind and watch the evening sunsets set in as the sky fills with the colours of the fading light. You have a lovely private terrace where you can eat and relax and your own personal entrance into the pool area. The 9 x 5m pool is heated from May to October. It sits in the most perfect location. It has plenty of terrace space on two sides and the most incredible views. In most of the Spring and Summer season it benefits from the sun all day long with a little corner of shade if you need it. The sun sets behind Le Peyruzel and so you can enjoy lovey warm afternoon and late swims after a hard days sight-seeing. The pool is fitted with an electric security cover and is also fully enclosed with self closing gates for added safety. The cottage is very comfortable inside with lots of exposed stone, wood and beams and the kitchen is handmade and incorporates the original stall and trough as it was once an old cattle byre. The tiled floor ensures it stays cool in the Summer. We hope we have thought of everything you will need to create a home away from home including free WiFi.
A couple of steps down will lead you into a charming snug sitting room with high ceilings and windows on three sides. There is a comfortable sofa, armchair tables and bureau It is fitted with satellite TV and DVD player. Upstairs you will find a very generous master bedroom with a huge and very comfortable bed, high ceilings and window at each end make this a very light and relaxing room. A big wardrobe and chest of drawers ensure you have plenty of space for everything. The second bedroom is another high ceilinged room with full size bunk beds, hanging storage and chest of drawers. The shower room is fitted with a big corner shower with hand held and rain head shower plus loo and basin.
PLEASE NOTE
It is possible to book both our gites Walnut & Truffle together to enjoy as two families. this will give a total capacity of 9 (plus a baby if required) you will then have exclusivity of the pool.

So much to see in the local area, and such a delightful place to stay, we wish we'd booked for longer. Everything we could possibly need was supplied, and the June heatwave made an afternoon dip in the pool a real treat. If we return to the Dordogne, it would be for a longer stay in this charming cottage.

Gorgeous villa, beautiful rooms, fantastic location, well maintained pool, magical view from the pool! We had the perfect family stay for 4 nights with two kids. Owners are super friendly and helpful. Please note that the pool does not have a shallow end and that it is shared with one more family.

It was our first time in the Dordogne and what a good choice we made. Charming, rustic gite with access to a shared pool in easy distance of places of interest. I am hesitant to rave about it too much in order to keep it available as our secret place to visit again and again. What made it extra special were the beautiful owners, Carolyn and Jerry. They couldn't have been more approachable, elegant, warm, helpful, kind and knowledgable.

We had a wonderful 10 nights staying in Walnut. What a beautiful location with simply stunning views- uninterrupted bliss! The cottage was everything we wanted, comfy, cozy and inviting. The pool was the cherry on top! With some of the most picturesque towns and villages in the Dordogne at your finger tips, this was one of the best family holidays we have had. Thank you!!
