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.
Guestbook comments from the owner
From Dublin
Left on 01/15/2013 for a stay in October 2012
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.

Perfect winter break
The perfect location to unwind after a hectic Christmas. The house is wonderful with excellent facilities, spotlessly clean and beautifully presented.
The area is peaceful and rural, within touching distance of some lovely old wine estates (visit St Emilion if you can). There are some nice trails for hikes and bike rides around the house if you fancy some exercise and the bikes are good quality. Overall I highly recommend this location, the perfect place to relax.
High End Luxury French Retreat
Our young family has returned to this marvellous villa several times now and it continues to exceed expectations on every occasion through all four seasons. It is an exceptionally well kept and equipped property in an exquisite rustic setting but still very accessible to larger towns in the area. The owners have spared no expense in furnishing to a high standard and it is impossible not to enter into a state of complete relaxation whilst staying here.The extensive garden and pool offers a perfect playground for younger children and the only reason to ever venture very far is to replenish wine and food stocks.
So relaxing!
This house is easily the best I have ever stayed in - a real wow factor when you walk in the front door. We stayed with another family also with 2 kids under 10 - weather was amazing. All the furnishings, decor, supplies and utensils are top notch and it is so vast. My kids had a brilliant time - the devices were actually forgotten about (OK not every day) - there is so much room to play, bikes to ride and the woods to explore. I can't recommend Barat enough. Make sure to have lunch in the Pressoir just up the road.
Wonderful
We are a diverse family which includes over 50's, 20's,30's, young children and a dog! We found Barat perfect for all our needs.
Beautiful house, fabulous location, great weather and all amenities at the house for a very comfortable stay.
Andrea and David who look after the house are delightful, very friendly, nothing is too much trouble and fonts of local knowledge.
We would definetly reccommend Barat and hope to return.
