About this property

An old stone cottage full of rustic charm with pool and stunning views

Truffle is a lovely stone character cottage that sits as part of a small cluster of buildings on gentle slope next to its sister cottage Walnut, on the edge of the traditional working hamlet of Le Peyruzel. The outline of the 13th century Chateau Peyruzel is ever present as it looks down across the valley. It is in a truly tranquil spot where you can relax unwind and watch the evening sunsets and the rolling country scenery. You have a lovely private terrace and a garden area, where you can eat and relax. The 9 x 5m pool is heated from May through to October. It sits in the most perfect location. It has plenty of terrace space on two sides and the most incredible views. In most of the Spring and Summer season it benefits from the sun all day long with a little corner of shade if you need it. The sun sets behind Le Peyruzel and so you can enjoy lovey warm afternoon and late swims after a hard days sight-seeing. The pool is fitted with an electric security cover and is also fully enclosed with self closing gates for added safety. The cottage is very comfortable inside with lots of exposed stone and beams. The tiled floor ensures it stays cool in the Summer and a huge wood burner is fitted for guest staying in early Spring and late Autumn months. It is open plan with comfy sofas and armchairs a big dining table and satellite TV and DVD player. It has a spacious handmade kitchen. We hope we have thought of everything you will need to create a home away from home including free WiFi. Upstairs there is a lovely double bedroom with high ceilings and French doors that open out to let in the early morning sunlight. There are bed side table with lamps, hanging space, a big chest of drawers. The second bedroom has two full size single beds one of them is set up high and is reached by a big sturdy ladder. There is also hanging and drawer storage. There is also an additional full size single bed on the landing area with its own chest of drawers. The bathroom is fitted with a large walk in shower with loo and hand basin.
PLEASE NOTE
It is possible to book both our gites Walnut & Truffle together to enjoy as two families. this will give a total capacity of 9 (plus a baby if required) you will then have exclusivity of the pool.

Bezauberndes GÎte in herrlicher Umgebung
Wir sind begeistert! Das Gîte ist geschmackvoll und durchdacht eingerichtet. Die Infrastruktur und die Ausstattung sind in hervorragendem Zustand und es fehlt an nichts. Carolyn und Jerry sind die besten Gastgeber, die man sich vorstellen kann: herzlich, hilfsbereit und kompetent. Auch unser Hund war im Paradies!

A beautiful long weekend
We have spent 3 great days in Carolyn and Jerry's Cottage. The place is amazing, cosy, quiet, clean, relaxing and everything is looked after with the greatest care. I really wish we could stay for longer, but we certainly will come back!

Lovely short stay
Carolyn and Gerry are lovely, considerate hosts. They have excellent knowledge and will help you with anything you need to know. Gite and pool were perfect. Lovely area, surrounded by nature. Both gites are private from one another. Great boulangerie and decent supermarket, just down the road. Close to all major sites. Thankyou both, we really enjoyed it x.

Entspannung und Entschleunigung pur
Dieses kleine Anwesen ist ein Traum. Ausserhalb einer Ortschaft gelegen, fernab vom Strassenlärm, umgeben von Bäumen und Wiesen fühlt man sich in eine andere Welt versetzt. Der Swimmingpool erlaubt einem den Blick auf das 200 m entfernt liegende Schloss Peyruzel. Die Gastgeber sind zuvorkommend aber halten sich diskret im Hintergrund. Wir haben uns sehr gut erholt und kommen gerne wieder.

Très bonne expérience
Nous avons passé une excellente semaine. Truffle est un petit gîte charmant, décoré avec goût et bien équipé. Il donne sur une terrasse et un jardin arboré très agréable. Le site est vraiment beau et très bien situé pour visiter les principaux sites du Périgord noir. Les propriétaires sont discrets et disponibles. Leur chienne Inca est très gentille. Les chiens des voisins sont en revanche parfois un peu envahissants.

Terrific accommodations, even more terrific hosts
The gite was wonderful. Quiet country setting, private patio, access to pool, kitchen stocked with necessary items (including condiments), everything one might wish for. Best of all were our hosts, Carolyn and Jerry. Formerly of the U.K., they compensated greatly for our lack of French. We were able to ask questions and obtain advice. They provided a notebook of suggestions regarding restaurants, market days, sites of interest, et al. They even made a restaurant reservation for us and allowed us the use of their phone when ours went on the blink. We had a thoroughly enjoyable trip to France and our choice of accommodations played no small part in the experience. Highly, highly recommended.

Lovely Gite in a fabulous location
We loved our stay at Truffle. The gite is very well equipped & beautifully decorated. It also has a great laundry room which is useful when traveling with children. Our children loved their bedroom with the mezzanine bed and they especially loved the pool. We were able to swim at night under a sky full of stars as there is no light pollution in this area. The location is really central to lots of the Dordogne’s beautiful Châteaus & villages. The gite & pool have wonderful far reaching views of the surrounding area and we loved spotting the passing hot air balloons. Carolyn & Gerry were very friendly and welcoming and we loved our visits from their lovely dog Inca. We also arrived to find a welcome hamper with wine, cheese & other essential, this was a really nice touch.There is lots to do in the area and we would definitely love to return.

Lovely Early Summer Holiday
We had a very enjoyable and relaxing time in Truffle gite, excellent location within 20 minutes of so many attractions and being able to retreat to the peacefulness of the countryside and spectacular views. Very friendly and helpful hosts who were a pleasure to be with for our stay, including the friendly 'working' dog Inca. The gite itself is very well appointed and thought out, everything we could think of or needed was there, most importantly a tea pot ! The new heated pool has spectacular views over the countryside and very comfortable relaxing chairs. A good place to be, especially the evenings to enjoy the sunsets. If anybody wants a peaceful retreat, yet very close to many of the main Dordogne tourist attractions, then look no further, you will be very happy here.

About the host

Hosted by Carolyn Thompson

Host profile image
I moved to France to live permanently in 2016 with my husband Jerry and our Working Cocker Spaniel Inca. It's hard not to fall in love with this area. We had explored this region on holiday when our children were very young and again 20 years later when they were all grown up. Our attraction for the Perigord Noir had never diminished and so now we find ourselves living our own little dream and having a French adventure.
Le Peyruzel is a very special spot, it remains very unspoiled and operates as a working farming community, crops here are mainly Walnut groves, but also wheat, barley, hay, maize, and sunflowers too. Our properties sit nestled on the slopes of the hamlet and enjoy the most amazing views across the Ceou valley and beyond. The properties are about 200 years old and formed a cluster of ancient farm buildings, they have been lovingly restored from dereliction by the previous owners over a period of 20 years and have operated as gites for many years. A brand new pool built into the slope has been created by us in summer 2016 and this now benefits from being heated from May though to October has been a most welcome addition to the property

Why they chose this property

The thing that sold this property to us was the character of the buildings themselves, the quality of their renovation and the views. When you drive in you just feel peaceful, relaxed and at home.... it’s as simple as that!

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location….to be in such a perfect spot and yet so close to so many of the regions gems it what makes Le Peyruzel a special place.
