About this property

Beautiful Woodland Retreat.

'Les Fougeres' is a beautifully converted barn with many natural timber features set in a peaceful rural location with many woodland walks and cycle trails on your doorstep.
The ground floor has an L shaped fully equipped open plan kitchen, dining area and lounge with wood burning stove. A good sized double bedroom with patio doors opening onto the side terrace and garden. A large seperate shower room. On the first floor is a twin bedroom with wash hand basin, and a light and airy mezzanine which provides a lovely second chilling out area with sofas and armchairs, books and games. Attached to the cottage is a large utility room which also has space to store your bicycles. The pretty fenced garden with gated private entrance is set within 5 hectares of the owners woodland and with many delightful walks nearby including the Foret Vignoble (2 min walk from the cottage) which has designated nature trails and cycle trails (48km & 28km) and a wealth of information on the local flora and fauna. There is an outside table tennis table and swing ball for guests to use and also bicycles that you are very welcome to use for your enjoyment at no extra cost. Albeit tranquil and relaxing you are very conveniently placed. The nearest restaurant is in the village of Beaupouyet (3mins drive) and the nearest town is Mussidan which caters for all your needs, and includes an open air swimming pool.The Perigord region is a beautiful unspoilt region rich in history and wildlife. Activities include boating, horse riding, golf at Bergerac (30mins) and Perigueux (40mins). Lac Jamaye Regional Park (35 mins ) Lac De Gurcon (30 mins) There is an excellent direct train service from Mussidan to Bordeaux and Perigueux. Bergerac is approx 30-35 mins by car and Perigueux 40-45 mins. We feel that the stairs and mezzanine might make this unsuitable for children under the age of five.

Lovely woodland cottage
We felt extremely welcomed by the hosts Fred and Lana. Our stay was very enjoyable, despite the weather. The location of the cottage was ideal for exploring the area. The hosts were not intrusive, but available if needed Highly recommended

A peaceful retreat in the Dordogne region.
A beautiful, comfortable and we'll appointed gite in a peaceful woodland area close to the attractions of the Perigord and Dordogne regions. Fred and Lana the owners are 'next door' if any help or advice is required, but are otherwise low profile neighbours. Supermarkets are within 10 minutes drive and further afield Cognac, Perigeaux, Brantome and Bergerac are all worth visiting. Also, have a freshwater swim, and a beer and buttie ! at the lake at La Jamaye about 10 miles away. We certainly enjoyed our time in Fred and Lana's gite and would happily recommend it to you !

Les Fougeres is a beautiful, excellently equipped woodland cottage.
The cottage, though feeling quite remote, is very well situated for visiting many local places of interest, with leisurely walks/cycle rides close at hand in the surrounding forest. A perfect retreat!
