About this property

Luxury self-catering accommodation with private pool (2 Bedrooms, sleeps 5)

This gite has a private, heated pool, not far from Le Bugue and Bergerac in a peaceful rural location in the Dordogne, close to the heart of the Dordogne's numerous tourist attractions.

The private heated pool and hot tub have a beautiful view over the valley and village of St Laurent des Batons, surrounded by decking and with shower and sun loungers.

Be one of the first to stay in our 200 year old barn converted into a well equipped, comfortable self-catering gite, with 2 bathrooms, one en-suite, sleeping up to 5 people.

PLEASE NOTE We live discreetly on site in the adjoining farmhouse. Being on site means we can provide you with help finding or booking restaurants, canoeing, markets or anything else you may need. Alternatively, we will just ensure the pool and gardens are maintained to a high standard and leave you to your own devices!

The main area is an open plan living space with a well-equipped kitchen area.

There is a private entrance with separate parking, newly established garden and a private, heated 8x5m pool with a beautiful view.

We are situated to the north of Perigord Noir, the heart of the Dordogne, minutes away from both the Dordogne and Vezere valleys. A peaceful rural location situated just 10 km south of Vergt, 10 km north of Sainte Alvère and 24km north of Le Bugue with their numerous tourist attractions, weekly markets and a selection of supermarkets.

Inside

We have provided everything we would hope to find in a brand new fully equipped fitted kitchen - full size cooker, microwave, fridge and freezer, dishwasher, food processor, cooks knives, serving dishes, kettle, teapot, coffee maker and all cooking utensils. There is also a washing machine, iron and ironing board.

New 49" flat screen HD TV, satellite TV (with all English free to air channels), and a DVD player. We have an up to 20MB broadband connection with WiFi and a good 3G mobile signal. We've included a Bluetooth speaker to play your music from your laptop, phone or music player. There is also a large selection of books, puzzles and games.

To minimise the amount of luggage you need to bring (especially for those flying) all bed linen and towels are provided and included in the price, including pool towels. For 2 week bookings, a fresh set of linen and towels will be provided for the second week. A travel cot is available, but we do not supply linen for it.

There is a mobile air conditioning unit and a portable fan in the upstairs bedroom and a ceiling fan is provided in the downstairs bedroom.

Smoking: in the interest of safety and the comfort of subsequent guests, we kindly request that you refrain from smoking inside the gite.

A fire extinguisher and fire blanket are provided in the kitchen and smoke alarms are fitted.

2 Bedrooms - sleeping up to 5 adults.

1 x king size bed - with en-suite shower room.

2x single beds, with an additional day bed (this room can be made into a double bed if required).

Family bathroom with bath and shower over the bath. Perfect for adults and children.

Hairdryers are located in both rooms.

The upstairs bedroom has a high ceiling with exposed beams and is accessed by stairs.

Blinds are included in both rooms - ideal for putting the kids to bed.

Outside

The heated, private pool for sole use by our guests, is 8x5m and 1.4m deep with steps providing easy access and is in full sunshine for most of the day with views over the valley and the village of St Laurent des Batons. It conforms with all French pool security regulations and, for added security and peace of mind, the pool is surrounded by decking and set in a fully fenced pool area. We also have a four-person hot tub next to the pool.

Our pool is a traditional chlorinated pool, checked and maintained daily, to ensure bather comfort. The hot tub is also checked daily.

There are sun loungers and umbrellas in this area to ensure that you get all the sun or shade you desire.

Solar heated shower.

All pool maintenance is undertaken by Dean. You're on holiday – there’s nothing for you to do (unless you really want to).

There is parking for two cars next to the barn.

The gite has a terrace with a charcoal barbecue, wooden table, umbrella and chairs. There is a private seating area overlooking the valley as well.

There are stunning views over the surrounding countryside from the gite, terrace and pool. The newly established garden around the barn is for sole use by gite guests, with some trees offering shade.

Some garden maintenance (yes grass cutting and watering) will be necessary during your stay - but we’ll endeavour to do this whilst you are out and about.

We are surrounded by open fields and woods - excellent for an evening stroll.

Great place
Comfortable place to stay. Quiet and very peaceful in the country. The pool and hot tub were clean and great in the heat. The house is clean and tidy with everything you need. Exceptional hot weather but the owners provided fans and a ac unit upstairs. For us the bed downstairs is a bit flimsy and the mattress was so thin it really could do with being replaced immediately! There are no bug screens on the rental and we got eaten alive by mosquitoes even when having sprays on. The owners say there is not a problem, but they have screens on their own house. The property is on septic and when having a shower you can smell the drains sadly. Be aware that you have to dispose of all your rubbish off site circa 4km away which is not great when you have to travel onwards. In the instructions booklet there is no mention about a stray cat. The owner came over and rather bruskly dressed us down as it walked in on its own. Personally some could have taken the abrasive attitude in a different manner. Would we stay here again, on reflection no.

Amazing stay …. The accommodation was exactly as described and had everything we needed and more. The location is beautiful and the pool and decking is kept immaculately. The hot tub is a really nice extra to enjoy the tranquility and amazing views. Really helpful and friendly hosts which added to the relaxing atmosphere. Absolutely no issues with anything and would recommend this property without hesitation.

Hidden gem in beautiful countryside
Amazing gite only half an hour away from Bergerac airport. We had a brilliant week with the gite being a real home from home . The owners bent over backwards to give us local information , make restaurant bookings and even sorted us a birthday cake. It’s very rural so a car hire is definitely needed but don’t let that put you off. The roads are easy to navigate and lots to see and do within 30 minutes to an hour of the property. The pool and hot tub were a brilliant way to relax on an afternoon. After sight seeing in the morning. We went canoeing , visited a prehistoric cave , visited local towns and markets and even played crazy golf. Will definitely be recommending to friends and family and would like to go back in the future. Thank you Deb and Dean for a fab week.

Half-term splash
We enjoyed our stay at Saint-Laurent-des-Batons very much. Debra and Dean are lovely hosts and left us with lots of information about the villa and its surroundings. The villa is well equipped and has a cosy feel to it. Swimming pool was at perfect temperature and very well maintained at all times. We would be very happy to stay there again and recommend it in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Debra Fetzer

Host profile image
We moved to the Dordogne after two decades living in London, with a view to a quieter and better life in a place we love.

Why they chose this property

This is a great location, with fantastic views over the beautiful valley and is on a quiet side road. The great climate, the local sites and facilities, not to mention the wine and local produce were all reasons for us to make the move. Having spent many years visiting the area, the 200 year-old farmhouse and the barn were just right for us and feels like home now - we hope you feel the same!

What makes this property unique

A quiet rural area on a road with little traffic, this is a tranquil place to enjoy the Dordogne and still be within a short distance of many of the natural and man-made attractions of the area. A private pool and very comfortable gite make this an ideal place for that family getaway or a chance for the two of you to get away from it all and relax.
