About this property

Spacious Cottage With Lovely Views And Garden/woodland, Privately Situated

La Maison d'Amis is a traditional detached stone Perigourdin cottage located within Perigord /Limousin Regional Natural Park. This one bedroom property is spacious and airy with wonderful high ceilings and stone walls. Separated by a courtyard and large barn from the owners house it is very private and has it's own garden with views across the valley and meadow and backing onto a small wood where you are free to walk the footpaths which the owners keep clear. Great for bird watchers and nature lovers, we have seen black woodpeckers, tree creepers, nut hatches and hoopoes amongst many others .It is an ideal retreat for a peaceful break, perfect for couples or friends. The road to Chez Neymard and La Maison d'Amis is literally on the way to nowhere, we are at the end of a single track road, so peace and quiet is assured. The owners cultivate willows in their garden for their basket making workshop and have a studio/atelier which guests are welcome to visit and watch the basket making process.

Een heerlijke, rustige en speciale plek
We hebben een heerlijke en relaxte vakantieweek gehad in dit unieke perigord-huisje met prachtige natuur als omgeving. Ver weg van alle drukte, maar met voldoende voorzieningen dichtbij. Ruth en Adrian hebben ons geweldig ontvangen en waar nodig geholpen, rekening houdend met onze privacy. Kortom een prachtige speciale plek om met z'n tweeën te genieten met zorgzame "hosts" om op terug te vallen. Zeker waard om nog eens terug te komen.

About the host

Hosted by RUTH CHARLTON

Host profile image
Adrian and I ran our willow basket making business in England since 1985. We moved to France in 2013 to semi retire, still growing our willows and selling our baskets but hopefully working a bit less. (well that was the plan!!) Since moving here I have concentrated on our organic garden and the gite and Adrian is busy with baskets and courses. We live here full time now, our son attends the college in Nontron and if we have free time we like to head off in our camper to continue the pleasures of discovering La Belle France.

Why they chose this property

We always enjoyed living in the country in the UK and wanted a similar rural setting in France. Although we know Provence better than the Dordogne we prefer the landscape and the climate in this part of France so decided to concentrate our search in The Perigord Vert. When we first saw Chez Neymard and La Maison d'Amis we were smitten and since moving here we have discovered what makes this part of the Perigord so appealing. There is a gentleness and intimacy about the view of the valley from La Maison d'Amis and even on grey days the mists that hang in the valley slowly lift to reveal the church steeple of nearby Champs Romain to the north and the patchwork of fields and broadleaved woodlands to the east.

What makes this property unique

La Maison d'Amis is ideally suited for couples looking for a relaxing break in an unspoilt rural location.
Tastefully renovated and in it's fifth season it is perfect for walking, birdwatching, swimming, (St Saud Lake, 6.5 miles), kayaking on the Dronne, cycling or just taking it easy and enjoying the fresh air and tranquility.
People with a love of crafts will enjoy the basket studio and workshop and could combine a course with a break for a holiday with a difference.
