About this property

*** 15 minutes drive from Bergerac Airport, which has regular UK flights by Ryanair, and just over an hour from well-connected Bordeaux Airport ****

Dating back to 1455, this beautiful oak-beamed house, fed entirely by fresh spring water, is located in the idyllic village of Laveyssiere in the wine-rich Perigord Pourpre region of the Dordogne. The setting feels a million miles from the hustle and bustle of city life yet the village restaurant is only 40 metres away and historic Bergerac is only a 10 minute drive away.

The house has been fully rewired in 2020 and has 4 spacious bedrooms (three with king size doubles, one with twin beds) and two newly fitted bathrooms. There is an additional double sofa bed on the first floor landing.

As well as the normal facilities we have the following:
WIFI
UK satellite TV
Wall-mounted flat screen 42 inch TV
Multi-region DVD player
Gaggia coffee maker
Full size outdoor table tennis table
Pub size Foosball (table football) table
10 foot diameter trampoline with enclosure/protective net

The above ground 8m x 4m pool (filled with spring water!) has steps that can be covered to prevent access by small children.

The patio is equipped with a large dining table and 8 chairs plus an extremely adjustable canopy which can be moved to provide shade throughout the day. Perfect for al fresco dining from morning until night (weather dependent!)

The permanent brick barbecue provides excellent shelter from the wind to make barbecuing easy.

The house has full central heating and so is ideal for year-round rental.

The front and rear gardens are screened by a laurel hedge and wall and are enclosed by a double metal gate for added security if you have small children.

The front garden looks out onto the village centre with its church and town hall.

Two mountain bikes are available (one man's, one woman's) and there are lots of options for cycling from easy to challenging.

We have lots of toys available for young children (eg toy kitchen, scooters, cars, puzzles etc).

Enjoy your stay!

Bilan mitigé

Énorme problème avec cette maison: la distribution d'eau. Manque de pression, un seul point d'eau peut fonctionner simultanément! Si un robinet coule, si une chasse d'eau se remplit, pas de douches ! Grosse contrainte quand on est 8 personnes ! Aucune chaines TV françaises, toutes les notices dans la maison sont écrites en anglais Piscine sale à l'arrivée : de la mousse au fond que nous avons enlevée nous-mêmes. 1 lit double effondré et posé sur parpaing Même avec toute la bonne volonté du propriétaire qui est très réactif mais qui gère son bien à 10000 kms de là (et n'est pas au courant de tout) nous avons moyennement apprécié cet environnement (voisinage désagréable qui vous interdit l'accès à des routes ou des chemins publics!). Sans ses problèmes d'eau, la maison est agréable et les enfants ont beaucoup apprécié tous les jouets mis à leur disposition. Malgré tout, nous considérons avoir su subi un fort préjudice avec ces problèmes d'eau quotidiens qui ont perturbé le déroulement de nos vacances.

Belle propriété au calme absolu

Un propriétaire aux soins pour ses clients, une équipe aimable et réactive sur place et surtout une maison bien entretenue, rénovée et meublée avec goût. Si vous voulez passer un séjour reposant en famille à profiter du beau temps, de la grande piscine hors-sol et du vignoble de Bergerac, vous avez trouvé le bon endroit! En plus, Matt et son épouse mettent à la disposition de vos enfants des jeux et jouets variés des leurs, ce qui est assez rare.

Lovely spacious house, lovely picturesque village

We were three generations staying at the house, plenty to do for everyone, could not keep my grandson out of the pool and the late suppers under the stars were a real treat Lots of interest in the area, the Grand Etang swimming lake, the lively Eymet market and Bergerac town centre were all a brilliant day out We would definitely consider returning

About the host

Hosted by Matthew Cooper

We are a family of 4, originally from the UK but more recently living in Singapore. Our 2 young children (currently aged 7 and 9) have boundless energy so we like to have lots of activities for them to do!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the village, with its pretty stream and church, before we even saw the house. But we love the house's history and oak beams, the enclosed gardens with a gate (great for keeping the kids in), and the swimming pool. The setting is an idyllic rural one but the house is very easy to reach (15 minutes drive from Bergerac Airport) and is close to many activities and amenities.

Nearby attractions include:
- cycle routes (on doorstep)
- forest walks (on doorstep)
- hypermarkets (10 mins drive)
- Bergerac town (10 mins drive)
- Bordeaux (60 mins drive)
- swimming lake with cafe/bar and kids activities (15 mins drive)
- treetop adventure, like Go Ape with zip wires etc (3 mins drive)
- wineries (many within a few minutes drive)
- canoeing (many options from 10 mins drive)
- go karting (10 mins drive)
- maze of maize (20 mins drive)
- medieval castle with kids activities (20 mins drive)
- local markets (many within a short drive)
- local night markets (many within a short drive)

What makes this property unique

- The house originally dates back to the mid-15th century.
- It has been fully rewired in 2020.
- All the house's water supplies (for drinking, bath etc) come from a freshwater spring which reputedly has medicinal properties.
- The house is right on the edge of the forest and yet there is a bar/restaurant just 40m away.
- The village has a 13th century church and a shrine to the Child Virgin (one of just a handful in the world), to which there is a pilgrimage on 8 September each year.
- The small and friendly village is perfect for children as there are big lawns to run around on by the town hall (as well as our own large enclosed garden).
- There are plenty of walks to do nearby, either through the forest or along small roads/tracks to other villages.
- There is a swimming lake with a restaurant and childen's play area (including a free zipwire) just 15 min drive away.
- There are numerous vineyards to visit (nearby Chateau Sainte Foy des Vignes has some good very reasonably priced wines). The famous Pecharmant area is 15 mins drive away.
- There are daily local produce markets in Bergerac and surrounding villages.
- The village is very quiet but is just 2km from the D709 which is a major highway which links Bergerac and the motorway heading to Bordeaux in one direction and Perigueux in the other.
- Bergerac, with its facilities and charming medieval centre, is only about 10 mins drive away.
- Bergerac airport, serviced by Ryanair and Flybe, is 15 mins drive away.
- Bordeaux airport, serviced by many major airlines, is just over an hour's drive away.
