We would love to welcome you to the beautiful "Guyenne" area of the Lot-et-Garonne countryside and to our 350 year old farmhouse which now boasts three cottages of varying styles and sizes. Le Herison is maximum occupancy of two (one double bed) and has a mezzanine floor, vaulted ceilings and has been furnished and decorated in a contemporary "loft style" including stylish lighting, impressive Hi-Fi and beech furniture. Our cottages are larger than average and very fully equipped - each with its own private garden and bar-b-que, dishwasher, washing machine, TV/video with English channels, Hi-Fi, electric heating and double glazing for the chillier winter months (except Au Matou with log burning fireplace). Nearly all the furniture is new for this season. The TWO swimming pools are both 11m x 5m with roman steps, pool houses, solar showers etc. All bed linen and towels except beach towels are provided. We are 10/15 minutes from two lakes with all sporting facilities (quad bikes/horse riding/flumes/beaches etc.) an hour from the coast and St.Emilion and five minutes from beautiful bars, restaurants, bastide fortified villages, chateau, caves etc. (children VERY welcome in all restaurants.) The farmhouse is set in seven acres of peaceful countryside with walks from your front door and as hosts we will be inconspicuous (our house is 150 metres away) or we can organise wine tasting trips etc. we will leave it to you. In the Winter months we are happy to organise cooking/wine tasting and house hunting weekends and will happily put you in touch with local Estate Agents. For a relaxing stay in some of the most beautiful french countryside then please do not hesitate to contact us. |

Le Herison is newly converted from the front barn and is immediately obvious because of the huge french doors through which you enter. The open plan lounge/dining/kitchen area is open to the original beams some nine metres above you and the old stone walls are in evidence highlighted by specialist lighting. The floors are all newly tiled and the windows and doors are double glazed hardwood. The lounge has a TV/VHS and a Denon/Mission sound system. The kitchen is equipped with gas cooker, large fridge/freezer, washing machine, dishwasher and microwave. The mezzanine bedroom looks down onto the lounge area, there is a shower room with W/C, shower and basin off the bedroom. The furniture is all contemporary beech/aluminium and brand new. Electric heating is fitted for the chillier winter months. The pretty garden is furnished for outdoor living and includes barbecue. |

Within easy reach of the cottages are the 12th -14th century Bastide towns of Duras with vineyards and chateau, Eymet, Miramont de Guyenne and slightly further afield the acknowledged Monpazier. If history is your thing then this area is rich in human history from Cro-Magnon man in the Dordogne Valley to huge castles used during the hundred years war. Lascaux 2 offers a chance to see some of the best early cave paintings whilst Beynac et Cazenac, Sarlat, Domme and Castelnaud have huge medieval connections and are very picturesque. The Lot et Garonne, Dordogne and Gironde are famous for their gastronomy and local dishes include oysters, duck, foie gras and the infamous truffle. Local wines are well renowned from summery rosés to thick, fruity reds and the unusual sweet Monbazillac - a good Sauterne rival. |
