Four-star tranquil retreat - perfect for a driving holiday in the Perigord Vert

Our four-star gîte offers outstanding quality accommodation, along with specialist facilities for people taking a driving holiday in France.

Perfect for driving/motorbike enthusiasts, with a unique offer not found elsewhere, we provide safe private parking with CCTV for two cars, under cover parking for motorbikes, cleaning equipment, tools, an interactive tourist map with tried and tested directions to all of the main local tourist spots, and ready made printed local driving routes.

Situated off the Route Nationale (N21) between Limoges and Perigueux along a no-through road, guests benefit from a quiet rural setting while being easily accessible. There is limited passing traffic and the only noise you generally hear is the birds. A private decking and garden area offers space for outside relaxation and dining, with a dining table/chairs and sun loungers, enabling guests to make the most of the superb views across the valley. A perfect spot to relax, unwind and enjoy the peace and tranquillity.

Our local village, La Coquille, has a bakers, butcher, supermarket, pharmacy and other shops as well as a couple of restaurants, and is just a 15 minute stroll away. It is on the main trainline between Limoges and Perigueux which can take guests to Bordeaux in around two and a half hours. The town of Thiviers is a short drive away and has a superb weekly market as well as lots of community activities. There is plenty of history in the area such as the nearby town of Châlus with its links to Richard the Lionheart, and the sobering Oradour-sur-Glane World War II memorial which we would highly recommend to all visitors. In addition to the superb drives available around our local roads, there are swimming lakes, caves, historic buildings and châteaux to keep guests busy.

Idyllique

Logement dans un endroit idyllique, calme et ressourçant. Une vue imprenable sur la nature. Un accueil exceptionnel de la part des hôtes. Nous avons été impressionnés par l’agencement de la maison jusqu’au plus petit détail qui contribue à un séjour relaxant. Un vrai bonheur. Merci à Stéphanie et Stephen de leur accueil si chaleureux.

A hidden Gem

Booked very late due to change of holiday plans, booking was easy with excellent feedback & helpful information from the owners. All equipment was absolutely spotless and it really was a pleasure to stay there and meet Stephen & Stephanie. This was our very first Site holiday and it has set some very high standards. WE do feel that we really did strike lucky with this Gem of a property and very friendly & helpful owners. WE will definitely return.

Route de Bonhur pour un séjour plein de Bonheur !

Gite très confortable, très bien équipé, très propre et au calme total. Stephen et Stéphanie sont de plus adorables et pensent avant tout au bien être de leurs hotes, notamment un pack de bienvenue lors de l'arrivée qui prévoit le diner et le premier petit déjeuner ! Séjour très agréable avec nos amis, nous recommandons vivement !

Excellent séjour !

Les hôtes sont charmants et attentionnés mais discrets. Gîte impeccable et très bien équipé. Nous avons passé un excellent séjour au calme et en toute sérénité. Le seul petit bémol : Pièces du RDC un peu sombre mais fraîches quand il faut chaud ! La passion des belles voitures nous a réunis et nous reviendrons avec plaisir.
