About this property

Lovely Maison Bourgeoise With Heated Pool In Heart Of Dordogne Village

Les Vignes is a rambling 18th century Maison Bourgeoise in Abjat-sur-Bandiat, a village in the heart of the wonderful Limousin-Perigord National Park. The paradox of the Perigord-Vert is its sublime anonymity that is largely undiscovered, even by the French.

This lovely spacious, 6 bed-roomed property is ideal for family holidays, or an adults' only retreat. With a sunny terrace and pool area, and being located in the heart of the village, it is peaceful and relaxing whilst offering a peek into Dordogne village life.

This is one of the village original buildings and has typical french character whilst having been modernised to ensure that your stay is comfortable. There are 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. There is an additional annex bedroom suitable for a young child who needs to sleep close to parents.

The house is fully equipped, with the aim of reducing the amount of luggage that you need to bring with you - for example children mugs, plates and cups are provided, there is a cot available and high chair for toddlers.
You can fill every day, but of course you are not compelled to go anywhere once you have enjoyed croissant and coffee on the terrace. Simply stay at home, perhaps by the pool, a cool glass of wine on hand and the BBQ ready for use! With 6 rooms, sleeping 13 or more people, Les Vignes is ideal for families, family ‘get-togethers’ or sharing with friends. The rooms are tastefully decorated and all have a dedicated bath or shower room. Rental includes the cost of utilities, towels and bedding.

As well as the many activities in the area, we provide a heated pool, a garden area with child's swing and slide, football nets and (of course) the football to play with. There are a variety of indoor games, DVDs and Wii for those who prefer to stay out of the sun and to keep children occupied - though the swimming pool (heated May to October) should be enough of an attraction!

The house is very well equipped and homely. Local markets are some of the best, and there's a variety of activities in the area, for those who don't just want to lounge by the pool. The village is in the heart of The Perigord National Park, which gives access to gorgeous woodland walks and bike rides (bike hire available locally), great for wildlife and nature, all starting from the centre, not to mention the great lake swimming just outside of the village, with supervised 'beaches', canoe and pedalo hire and many snack bars.

The village has a tea shop, boulangerie, a bar and a creperie, along with other amenities. It has a very friendly community.


A recent review: The little touches like the wine in the fridge, the red wine and coffee and tea starter pack were very much appreciated. We found the house worked very well for our three families and even on a rainy day we didn't feel like we were under each other's feet. We frequented the Boulanger , the pub and the cafe/restaurant and had a warm welcome at all three. The Saturday music night at the pub was great fun and families were made very welcome. Julie who owns the restaurant was delighted to see us whether we had a quick drink or enjoyed the excellent evening menu. Abjat it self is very pretty and very french which was exactly what we wanted. The surprise of the holiday was that the boats at the local lake were free to use and the facilities such as the play park, snack bars, life guards and very pretty picnic areas were unexpectedly good.
The towns and villages nearby were very attractive with plenty to do and Nontron was the best supermarket town which was a short drive away.

Wonderful!
We have rented homes in France for many years but have never before stayed in such a large, generously equipped, characterful home. The young children were occupied throughout the week ,if not in the heated pool then with all the games, goal posts and balls and of course the dvds. A fabulous venue for all .Thank you Phil for the very generous welcome pack too. We loved your very comfortable welcoming home

August stay
House is amazing- everything you need. We cooked for 12 easily and ate on the terrace. The boulangerie was visited every morning for croissants and bread. Pub was incredibly friendly. Esther and Nick really helpful if you need anything

This house is fantastic, all in our family loved it. Big spacious rooms, everything was here.
Fantastic house, would definitely return. Big spacious rooms, everything was there that you needed even supplied fans. All our family enjoyed this lovely house. Outdoor space and was nice, pool was lovely and clean. Lovely village morning strolls to the bakery plus there is a crepe restaurant. Was greeted by English hosts which was a right bonus. Area was great, two good swimming lakes not far away, supermarkets not to far away. Would definitely recommend this lovely house. Get booking a holiday here.

Fabulous Family Break
We booked Les Vignes several months in advance for sharing with several family members as we were all attending a family party in a neighbouring village. On arrival we were pleasantly surprised at how lovely the property was, the pictures were good but did not do the property justice, with it's lovely setting in the village of Abjat. We were met by Dave on behalf of the owners who gave us a tour of the property and highlighted how everything worked. This was especially important as we are part of a large family with varying needs, all of which had been accommodated by the owners when requested in previous months. The kitchen was large and well equipped, the rooms all well furnished, and we were left with ample towels and bed-linen. Outside we benefited from a well maintained and equipped garden, as well as a perfect sized pool for our need. The pool as required by law is equipped with an alarm, and when the battery on this went faulty was speedily changed on call to Dave. The village of Abjat is well positioned to visit many places in the Dordogne and had a restaurant, a bar, a creperie and a boulangerie. The boulangerie had a small stock of grocery supplies but we were not able to purchase general supplies like milk so did need to go to the supermarket several kilometres away. This was not a problem for us as the house was equipped with a spacious fridge freezer and larder. The fridge freezer had an ice and cold water tap, perfect for G&T on the terrace. We were primarily in the Dordogne for a family party but found several places nearby to visit, including the stunning village of Brantome, the village of Nontrom, several markets and several swimming lakes; one of which had a weekly band in the summer as well as an evening food market for drinks and dinner. Overall, we would highly recommend Les Vignes a great place for a large family gathering.

House in super sleepy village with all important boulangerie. Pub in village a stones throw and lovely food served. Great time for all , highly recommended.
