Accessibility
La Petite Mirabelle is all on ground floor level, so would perhaps be suitable for anyone with mobility problems.

Here you can take leisurely country walks, hire boats or fish. Golf, tennis, horse-riding, canoeing, 10-pin bowling, go-karting and mountain-biking are all within easy reach.

The capital of the Dordogne, which is still referred to by the locals by its original name of Périgord, is Perigueux.

Guest comments
Great hospitality-made us feel so welcome. Lovely surroundings & the children really enjoyed the pool. Riberac great for canoeing & the market. Aubeterre interesting, the Monolithic Church was inspiring (even to our 14yr old son!). The Chocolate Factory is worth a visit. Brantome is full of character & very interesting to visit, with lots of unique shops situated under the rocks. Thank you, Anna and Ali for being such fantastic hosts.
