Guillegorce

'Guillegorce' is a charmingly restored stone farmhouse and cottage with superb large pool set amidst rolling countryside

 

     

Farmhouse sleeps 10/12 and cottage sleeps 4/6  

The properties are situated in the heart of the Cotes de Duras on the Dordogne, Gironde, Lot & Garonne borders. Bergerac is only 30km away and the famous wine making village of Monbazillac is only 20km away.  It is set in a private position at the end of a quiet lane and commands lovely views over the surrounding countryside. 

The Farmhouse is available on its' own but let together with the Cottage during the high season.  The property is available for letting all year. This is the larger of two restored holiday homes surrounded by 2 hectares of grounds with a large fenced pool (12m x 6m with roman steps and large terrace) shared between both, making this an ideal location for families with children. The pool can be lit at night - perfect for a midnight swim!   

To the rear of the pool in the large gardens, you will find swings and a slide for younger children, table tennis and a 16 foot trampoline (to be used at your own risk!). Garden Jenga is also available.

The pool has a fantastic large covered terrace which can be lit on an evening.  Under the terrace you will find a number of relaxing chairs and a fridge and electricity point. 

      

Enjoy the covered terrace on an evening - or perhaps take a balloon ride from our field...

       

This beautifully restored farmhouse is extremely spacious.  The traditional farmhouse kitchen with large stove, oven with five hobs, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, kettle, dishwasher and fridge/freezer is fully equipped to cater for large parties and leads out conveniently onto a long tiled dining terrace with wooden furniture, large BBQ and superb views across the countryside.

There are additional tables for guests to use - which, when both properties are let together allows for all guests to eat together in the farmhouse kitchen or on the terrace outside.

 

The lounge leads off from the kitchen; this room is spacious and comfortable, with beamed ceilings, an enormous antique fireplace and marble floor. There are leather sofas, occasional furniture and a writing desk.  There is also a television with UK satellite TV, DVD player and a video.  CD / Tape / Radio. Overlooking the lounge is a beautiful wooden galleried landing. ADSL Broadband internet access.

         

To the rear of the living room there is a further corridor and a door leading out onto the terrace at the front of the farmhouse.  Through here is a large double bedroom, shower-room / toilet and a laundry room with washing machine.
