Luxury 4 Bed Manor House in the Dordogne - Large Gardens in the heart of wine country
The Manor House at Barat offers uncompromising French rural luxury coupled with contemporary convenience in a country setting. With 35 acres of private woodland as a backdrop, outdoor dining and lazing by the pool is the natural focus at Barat. Barat is ideally located to visit the famous vineyards of St Emilion, the historic towns of Périgueux, Bergerac and Castillion la Bataille, the city of Bordeaux and the prehistoric caves of Lascaux. Also close by is a lakeside beach resort.
The renovated Manor House at Barat dates from 1803. The pigeonnaire affords the property a particular charm. The property at 250 sq/m is spacious yet cosy. Downstairs the impressive entrance hall leads to a large dining room on one side and a restful, comfortable and spacious lounge on the other. The farmhouse style kitchen is the centre of the house with a large island which is the social epicentre. Downstairs, the property also offers a playroom off the kitchen, a utility room and a bathroom with shower.
Upstairs there are 4 double bedrooms, 2 of which are ensuite and one family bathroom.
The house offers many recreational spaces to enjoy time together with family/friends or time alone with a book or one's thoughts admiring the view (living room with fireplace, dining room with lounge area, pool side, terrace, barn with table tennis). Barat is a wonderful place to leave the cares and stress of daily living behind and immerse yourself in the beautiful French countryside.
This partner has demonstrated and is committed to fast response times, the best rates, and a great guest experience.
Guestbook comments from the owner

Our young family has stayed in Barat on several occasions through all seasons and each visit reveals added attractions. This is high end accommodation at its finest with attention to detail evident in every aspect. The comfort and spaciousness of the house are second to none and the pool is the best villa pool we have enjoyed anywhere on the continent. The house is always spotless on arrival and the location is ideal for excursions near and far. On our most recent visit, we delighted in exploring the many waymarked walking and cycling trails which are well sign-posted from the nearby villages, taking us into deep into the heart of the beautiful french countryside.
We plan on returning again very soon.

Barat is perfect for a big family "get together" or also for a big group of friends. The house is very spacious with lots of different rooms and is perfect for kids too. Spacious fully fitted but country house kitchen which is a pleasure to cook in. Choice of either formal dining or more relaxed dining as part of the kitchen, or even better outside (there is a great built-in bbq). Great poolside area with loads of space for games with the kids. There is table tennis, boule, football,mountain biking - all sorts!
It's also nice if the weather isn't warm as it's cosy and there are two lovely wood burners to keep you warm.
Overall great stay and we'll be back - thank you!

The home is well equipped with everything a family requires. It is spacious and has been renovated to the highest standard. It is child friendly with a lovely pool and spacious grounds to explore. Local villages that are a short drive away provide an authentic French experience. Local amenties are sufficient for all your needs, including a vibrant market and fine dining experiences to suit all budgets.The service was excellent and this property offers fantastic value for money. We will be back.

Great place for groups
I stayed here with a group of friends for a long weekend of drinking local wine and eating lovely food. The villa is very well equipped and beautifully furnished and well kept. It could easily host a large group or extended family.
Fabulous stay
The property is wonderful and excellently equipped to cater for large groups of people. The property is furnished to a high spec to allow for a comfortable stay and the views are wonderful. The house is very clean and well maintained. The pool is lovely to either relax or exercise. There are some great walks in the area and some lovely restaurants in the surrounding towns. A great get away and excellent value for money.

Everything that we expected and more, what an amazing place. It's got everything - patio overlooking the pool, so always felt safe re kids, superbly equipped kitched, hot plate and BBQ, so much room for everybody, SKY TV, brilliant property managers (Andrea and David) on call whenever you need them. Kids loved it, we loved it. Nothing negative to report. Can'r recommend enough.
