Gîte by the river in the Dordogne - La Gloriette

The cottages of the Bigoussies mill can accommodate up to 10 people in 3 completely independent structures.

The "gazebo" is a very spacious cottage which can accommodate up to 3 people (1 bedroom and a convertible sofa) it also has a private terrace under a gazebo. Direct access to the river.

The 3 lodgings have been recently renovated in contemporary comfort and will seduce you with their exceptional location by the river. You have direct access for swimming, fishing or canoe trips. Located 5 minutes from Ribérac, they will be the starting point for many visits to the region. This 18th century mill belonged to the 12th century Romanesque abbey of Saint-Saud-Lacoussière above Brantôme. Presumably built on old foundations, we find it on the 18th century Cassini cards; its architecture is from the XIXth century.

It became an eel fishery at the end of the 19th century, then the refuge of a historian writer, before opening up to you on the Dronne. The water quality is exceptional, it is a dream place for fishing or walks.

Lovely river-side location

Another visit to this wonderful place situated next to the River Drone. Good comms with the host and a lovely traditional Gite with all the necessary things you need!! We brought our bikes and the area is perfect if you love this activity. Also very good if you like a dip in the river. Well recommended.

Logement atypique et plein de charme.

Un logement rempli de charme,au bord de l'eau,pourvu d'un superbe jardin arboré,et entouré de sites superbes...Que demander de plus? Les hôtes ne sont en aucun cas responsables de la qualité de la connexion internet,mais sachez qu'elle est parfois...capricieuse.

Très belle escapade dans une région que nous ne connaissions pas.

Le gîte est superbe ! Pas de chichis, juste beau et sobrement décoré, avec goût Nathalie nous a réservé un bel accueil et avait prévu un petit déjeuner délicieux, notamment les confitures maison. Un très beau jardin, et un jardinier très sympathique et généreux : nous sommes repartis avec des plants. A recommander

Bel endroit

Qu'ajouter aux louanges unanimement décernées ? Merci aux propriétaires de leur chaleureux accueil. Le gite est impeccable et confortable, l'environnement, en bord de rivière (c'est un moulin) calme, serein et les jardins joliment fleuris. Nous avons passé un séjour d'autant plus agréable que cette région du Périgord offre de belles découvertes (Périgueux et sa cathédrale, l'abbaye de Brantôme, l'église troglodyte d'Aubeterre et nombres de châteaux). Bel endroit.

L'accueil a été très chaleureux: Merci pour la bouteille de Bergerac. Le gîte est conforme à la description et adapté pour un couple. Malgré la présence de trois gîtes, chacun a son intimité. Lieu très reposant au bord de la Dronne, où les canoës mis à disposition permettent de profiter de la beauté du site. La baignade est d'ailleurs possible. Très beaux jardins.

Remarkable and unique holiday

Friendly and welcoming hosts at this incredible and unique mill. The area is quite, private, and beautiful. The rooms are clean, stylish and comfortable, and the outdoor area is a special place to relax, including swimming and canoeing in the river! What a wonderful place to stay.
