About this property

Les Vachers is a stone built farmhouse dating back to the 16C. The large veranda offers a covered dining area for those lazy barbecues. Both the terrace and pool are floodlit to extend those relaxing evenings outside. The house is spacious with a well equipped updated kitchen with a range style cooker. The two double bedrooms each have their own en suite bathrooms. One of the twin bedded rooms is on the ground floor with a shower room next to it. The farmhouse is in a peaceful location set in 10 hectares of land. The south facing pool overlooks the private fishing lake which is well stocked with large carp up to 20lbs. Use of the fishing lake is included in your stay at no extra charge. The 18 hole public golf course and leisure complex of Chateau les Vigiers is less than 10 minutes away. This holiday villa with it's private pool is ideal for those family get togethers or groups of friends chilling out.

Fishing: The large well stocked lake offers carp, rud, roach and perch.
Carp of up to 20lbs have been caught in the lake. They have been well fed and offer easy fishing for children and fun for all the family. A large hunk of bread on the end of a line is normally all you need.

General Information: The summer season in the Dordogne offers hundreds of different events from town to town. Bergerac alone has 10 different events ranging from fireworks on the 14 July to long weekends of wine and food festivals.
There are various night markets in July and August all within an easy drive.
The local restaurants range from 4 course set lunches with wine to the 4 star restaurant at Chateau les Vigiers.

location décevante et très chère
Oh surprise ! Fenêtres de la location voisine donnant sur notre terrasse et la piscine. Sdb décevantes avec aucun verrou, et une avec porte vitrée. Une chambre passante sans fenêtre, une autre sans placo au-dessus du bâti. Énormément de toiles de poussières aux poutres et la literie nécessiterait d'être changée. Par moment des odeurs de fosse septique. La totale quoi! Très décue!

Zénitude!
Très belle maison de caractère, située au cœur du Périgord pourpre, avec son étang, son golf et sa piscine...véritable havre de paix, repos assuré! Encore merci à Sandra & Alan pour leur accueil chaleureux, leur savoir vivre et leurs précieux conseils. A refaire très vite !

About the host

Hosted by Alan Dagnall

Host profile image
I have lived in France for more than 40 years and adore this very special area of South West France. I have drunk more bottles of wine than I care to remember and enjoy a bottle or two with a good meal. I have an extensive knowledge of the local area and am happy to recommend places to visit, restaurants to try and wine to sample.

Why they chose this property

Les Vachers literally means the cow complex. This farmhouse has been renovated by me to include all the comforts you would expect as well as retaining the character of the building. I make sure the kitchen is fully equipped with everything I would like to find in a kitchen so you can experiment with the local foods in the comfort of your own home. The private pool has steps leading down to the shallow end and a separate kiddies pool making it suitable for everyone.
The lake is overlooked by the pool so you an relax by the pool and still be within shouting distance if they catch the big one!

What makes this property unique

Whilst there are many villas with pools, not many come with their own private fishing lake. I can provide rods and landing nets so come and have a go.
