About this property

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.

A beautiful place

Beautiful property, ideal for a peaceful idyllic stay. The property feels remote but is actually within really easy distance of the pleasant village of St Pardoux la Riviere which has a couple of restaurants and a well stocked supermarket. Lots to see and do in the surrounding areas and we could easily have spent longer in this part of Perigord.

An outstanding property- simply oozes character!

We spent two weeks in this exceptional property and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. The gite exudes exceptional character and has a rustic feel which combines with all modern living requirements. It has been designed and renovated with great attention to detail and incorporates a lot of what can only be described as "great thoughts!" The location is also ideal for anyone who is looking for an extremely relaxing and quiet break well away from the normal "tourist" bustle as it sits on an elevated site in beautiful countryside with commanding views across open countryside. It has the added attraction of allowing exposure to lots of wildlife which can either be encountered by walking on any of the adjacent country walks through natural woodland or simply observing the small wild deer which emerge from the adjacent woodland. It is also very close to the lovely town of Saint Pardoux La Riviere and trips to the village of Saint Jean de Cole and the town of Brantome are highly recommended. We would have absolutely no hesitation at all in recommending this property to anyone who is looking for rustic charm,simply wants to "listen to the silence!" and experience French rural life.

Un endroit où se ressourcer dans un décor magnifique

C'est un lieu de séjour inoubliable grâce à l'attention des hôtes, au sens de la décoration tant intérieure qu'à l'extérieur dans le jardin, la terrasse et tout l'environnement. C'est l'idéal pour être tranquille, au milieu de la nature avec un équipement largement supérieur à la moyenne dans le logement. Nous avons passé 4 jours des plus agréables !

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.

Little paradise....

We felt very happy as if we were in our own little Paradise. Every day we had sunny weather; we could choose on wich terrace we would like to sit and enjoy the beautiful and peacefull surrounding. We had everything we needed in the cottage and we ate on one of the terraces every day, had a barbecue with a glass of wine, and mostly rested, read, and enjoyed! Adrian makes beautiful baskets from their own cultivated willow branches. We bought a garden basket as a souvenir and as a reminder of this wonderful holiday!

Home from home

As soon as we arrived we knew that we had made a great choice. I remarked to Ruth that the photographs did not do it justice, beautiful and peaceful. The hosts were attentive but certainly not invasive. This was the holiday that we really needed and we have fond memories already. I would recommend this to all of our friends, will we be back, you bet. Thank you Ruth and Adrian, best wishes, Alex and Hayley.

Haven

A lovely little cottage, set in attractive garden and separated from the owners' house by a courtyard. Plenty of space inside and out. Nearest town of St Pardoux is quiet but has everything you need, and lots of interesting places in the area easily reached by car.

About the host

Hosted by RUTH CHARLTON

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.
