About this property

Hazelnut Cottage in the Grounds of 16th Cent. Historic Manor,12mx6m Heated Pool

Hazelnut cottage is fully equipped with quality appliances, decorated to high specification and comfortable. It is complemented with a park of two acres and a heated pool of 12mX6m with pool house and summer kitchen.

Hazelnut Cottage although entirely independent is annexed to a completely renovated Maison de Maitre dating back to 1678 oozing architectural features, charm and comfort. The ancient original door of the Manor has been preserved complete with the lock and the key the size of which does not fail to amaze the visitors every time. Many vineyards are waiting to be explored. Most of them offer wine tasting and an expert tour of their vineyards. The UNESCO protected St Emilion with its charming cobbled streets and exceptional wines is just 20 minutes away. The River Dordogne is just 0.4 km from the house and there are many pleasant spots to walk and cycle along the riverbanks. Canoeing, fishing and riding are popular activities alongside sports such as tennis and an excellent golf club is only 20 minutes away. Our local market (Sainte Foy La Grande) has been voted the people's favourite market in France and is a must see.

The magnificent TGV takes you from Paris to Bordeaux in 2h30min. Bergerac airport 35 minutes away, Bordeaux airport just over 1 hour away – both have cheap flights to and from the Uk, Ireland and the Netherlands, as well as other destinations

Perfect peace!
House is so well equipped and comfortable in a beautiful setting that we just loved being there. Add wonderful helpful, obliging but unobtrusive hosts, plus proximity to all our needs, there was nothing not to love!

Heerlijk verblijf!
We hebben een heerlijke week gehad in Hazelnut Cottage. Caspian en Lulu zijn heel behulpzaam en vriendelijk. Het huisje is heel mooi en schoon en we hebben genoten van het zwembad. Er is genoeg te doen in de omgeving.

Sejour au calme
Nous avons séjourné à 3 adultes + 1 enfant. C’était des vacances idéales pour être au calme ! Il est impératif d’avoir une voiture pour pouvoir profiter pleinement du séjour. Caspian et Lulu sont des hôtes très gentils, disponibles et très discrets. Le logement se situe dans leur domaine, qui est très bien entretenu.

A beautiful ‘Get Away From It All’ place to stay.
We spent ten days at Hazlenut Cottage, and appreciated the peace and quiet, the fantastic pool and the spacious accommodation. A car is an absolute must staying here, to get to the local supermarket, nearby villages and towns and the various vineyards and restaurants in the area. We had really hot weather during our stay, and felt the only enhancement to the cottage would be air conditioning in the living area and the bedrooms, as it was impossible to keep the fans on in the bedrooms at night, (too noisy) and opening doors and windows let in mosquitos, who were happy to munch away on any exposed skin! Caspian was a fantastic host, on hand to help if needed, but respecting our privacy. Would highly recommend staying here if you are looking for an ideal peaceful retreat.

About the host

Hosted by Caspian Flynn

Host profile image
Caspian was brought up in Germany, Lulu was brought up in Cyprus and Jeffery (our chocolate labrador) is a Welsh boy and we all found a most beautiful home in the South of France. Caspian is a Chartered Engineer by background and has worked for corporations in Germany and England. Lulu is a qualified biology teacher and as a second career she also worked for a large pharmaceutical company in England for many years. We have many friends here locally and also internationally and enjoy their company whenever we can.

Why they chose this property

The fact that we already had many local friends around Bordeaux was an important factor for us to choose the vineyards of Bordeaux as our home. This combined with romantic vineyards, pretty villages, enjoyable towns, easy airport connections and the friendly locals made the task of choosing a home in this region simple for us.

What makes this property unique

The completely renovated Maison de Maitre (Manor House) dating back to the 16th century and giving one a sense of history, the beautifully lit pool area at night and the well laid out park make La Gorce a memorable experience. Its architecture oozes the charm one would expect of such an historic property. Surround by vineyards but only 2 minutes drive from all amenities. Easy access to Bergerac, Bordeaux and St Emilion.
