The 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 cottage is one 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! 

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. 

The pretty cottage is let out with Guillegorce Farmhouse.  The cottage has its own dining terrace with BBQ and hardwood dining furniture, with a large lime tree providing shade.  This is a beautiful spot for enjoying an evening drink and relaxing with views of the countryside.  

The downstairs of the cottage is open-plan.  To one corner is a basic kitchen area with a gas hob and fridge with freezer compartment, microwave and small electric oven.  The sitting area is spacious and comfortable with an old-fashioned stove and a super fireplace.  The dining area provides seating for up to 6 people.  There is a TV for the playing of DVD's (there is no external aerial). A modern shower-room / toilet leading from this room.  Broadband internet access available.

There is an out-house with washing machine.

The gardens include the use of a 16 foot trampoline (at your own risk!), table tennis and a slide and swings for smaller children. Garden jenga is also available.
