1 bed Gite with pool in the Dordogne in the Perigord Vert 45 minutes from Limoges and Perigueux
1 bedroom, ideal for two. Les Cloches is a comfortably furnished gite, all on one level, set in a peaceful location with beautiful views over rolling countryside. It is totally independent of the main house, but also has the benefit of our being discreetly close by to help you with anything you need to know. We are in the Perigord/Limousin National Park (an area of natural beauty), between Limoges and Perigueux, within walking distance of the small town of La Coquille, which has all shops and amenities.
We live in the small hamlet of Sainte Marie, just 5 minutes drive or 20 minutes walk from La Coquille. The town has a bank, two supermarkets, a butcher, bakers and a patisserie, a post office, hairdressers, several bars and an excellent restaurant at Les Voyagers Hotel, a Take Away or Eat In Pizzeria and an interesting antique/bric a brac shop. Market day is every Thursday morning.
We have a vet in the hamlet who is completely used to the Pet Travel Scheme for pet owners. If you take a 3 minute stroll from Les Cloches, you will find yourself at the beautiful La Barde lake, which you can walk around and if you like fishing, purchase a holiday fishing permit from the local tabac and spend some very relaxing hours beside the lake. The area is rich in wildlife with many deer, birds and, if you are lucky, you may even see a wild boar. A little further afield you have the market town of Thiviers (15 minutes), the lovely old village of St Jean de Cole, Brantome which is known as the Venice of Perigord, Jumilhace le Grand with its impressive Chateau, St Yriex la Perche with shops selling very reasonably priced Limoges porcelain.
Les Cloches has an open plan living/dining room with TV/DVD, CD/Cassette player and plenty of DVDs, CDs and books for you to enjoy and a fully equipped kitchen, which includes a coffee maker, kettle and toaster, as well as an oven, microwave, fridge and washing machine. The gite also has WiFi high speed Internet connection and a hairdryer is provided.
There is a double bedroom and a shower room with toilet, handbasin and walk-in storage cupboard. There is also a private outdoor terrace kitchen/dining area looking towards lovely views, which is fully equipped and furnished for outside cooking, barbecuing and dining. A great place for breakfast.
The pool is large, accessed by Roman steps and around the pool, are sun loungers and loungers for floating on in the pool, perfect for relaxing, reading or cooling off. We have put outside tables and seats in several different parts of the garden. We enjoy gardening and are sure that you will gain a lot of pleasure from your surroundings.
Our members sometimes list their holiday rental properties on a number of different websites and so it is perfectly understandable that property listings occasionally become out of date. In order to prevent disappointment, please ensure that you verify any details with the owner themselves before booking your holiday.
