The house
The property is a former paper mill originally built in 1688 which has been renovated into a home for the owners and 2 gites, Le Grand Cornet and Le Petit Raisin which are virtually identical. The gites share their own private driveway and car park (approx 10m x 8m). The gite has been renovated to provide modern facilities while at the same time retaining as much of the character as possible. All the rooms are newly furnished, spacious and comfortable. **New for 2023: Air-Conditioning has now been installed - there are 2 separately controlled units: 1 downstairs and 1 upstairs.** There is an upstairs with 3 bedrooms, sleeping 6 (2 doubles, 1 twin) and family bathroom. All the bedrooms have wall-mounted electric heaters and the bathroom has a heated towel rail. Downstairs is open plan with kitchen, dining area and a living area with a TV/DVD (English Freesat and French TNT) and a cosy wood-burning stove . There is a downstairs toilet and the gite has its own private patio (approx 6m x 5m) with dining table for 6. Guests are welcome to explore out 5 acres of grounds, including garden, woodland, orchard and streams. You can also feed the chickens and enjoy some free range eggs. Relax and enjoy the peace and quiet on our pool terrace, complete with 8x4m inground heated pool and sunloungers. We also have a basketball and badminton net.

Walking distance to the village of Saint Séverin which has a local SPAR supermarket, bar, bakery, pharmacy, bank with cash machine, Post Office and a newsagents. Just outside the village is an 18-hole crazy golf course and an outdoor recreation centre at Moulin de Poltrot with canoeing and tree-top zipwires. The hillside village of Aubeterre-sur-Dronne 'one of the most beautiful villages in France' is a 15 minute drive away. It is well worth a visit for its famous monolithic church and a beautiful tree-lined square with cafes and restaurants and its river beach. A short 15 minute drive from the property is a 9 hole FFG golf course, set in peaceful countryside with its own bar/restaurant and tennis courts. The market towns of Riberac, Verteillac and Chalais are all within a 30 minutes drive. Brantome the 'Venice of Perigord' is a 50 minutes drive away and makes for an interesting day out. There is a Benedictine Abbey, excellent restaurants and bars and with a beautiful river running right through it. Nearby are the underground caves at Villars. The capital town of Angouleme is a 45 minutes drive away and has a wide range of shops and museums to visit. Just outside is Nautilus an indoor leisure centre with swimming pools and slides. Bergerac is an hour drive away, and the old town has narrow cobbled streets and half-timbered houses. You can take an hour long boat trip on an old 'gabarres' (flat bottomed boat). The Bordeaux, Bergerac and Cognac vineyards are all within a 90 minutes drive. Many vineyards offer tastings and the opportunity to buy first rate wines at the cellar door. In Cognac, Martell, Hennessy (includes a boat ride on the Charente river) and Remy Martin (includes a train ride tour around the estate) offer tours of their cellars/estates. Also well worth visiting is the pretty hilltop town of Saint-Emilion and Montbazillac.

Klaas from Varsseveld,
Heerlijk compleet ingericht vakantiehuis op een mooie rustige locatie met ruimte en veel natuur. Compleet met zwembad en hele vriendelijke en gastvrije eigenaren. De uitgebreide informatiemap met veel tips over de omgeving, bezienswaardigheden en restaurants was zeer prettig en wij hebben hier veel gebruik van gemaakt.

Superfijn vakantiehuis met alle voorzieningen die je wenst. Met ons gezin genoten van tuin en omgeving. Erg gastvrije eigenaren die alles voor je (willen) doen. Zeker een aanrader!
Hendrik from Elspeet,
Wij hebben 2 weken met enorm veel plezier vakantie gevierd in deze vakantiewoning. Een prachtig verbouwde woning waarbij de oude originele onderdelen van het pand gecombineerd worden met gewenste luxe van deze tijd. Daarnaast een heerlijke locatie met veel ruimte en natuur rond het huis. Onze kinderen hebben dagelijks met plezier de kippen bezocht en gevoerd. Daarnaast is de service, de gastvrijheid en de vriendelijkheid van de eigenaren uniek! Ook de uitgebreide gids met tips voor mooie activiteiten en restaurants in de buurt is super. Uiteindelijk zorgt de diversiteit van de regio met prachtige stadjes/dorpen, kastelen, grotten, meren en rivierstrandjes voor een prachtige invulling van de vakantieweken!
