Close to the borders of the Lot, Dordogne and Cantal (Auvergne), this paradise of peace and tranquillity sits above the 12th Century Tours de Merle, on the Franco British frontier during the 100 years war, in an undiscovered land of hills, woods and secret valleys, a utopia for walkers (the property lies in the centre of a range of magnificent walks), cyclists, equestrian and water enthusiasts. Medieval Chateaux and Churches, some of the most beautiful villages in France, (Collonges la Rouge, Salers amongst others) cultural festivals, canoeing on the Dordogne, some of the best food in France are all within easy reach. The local village St Cirque de Loutre (bread and essentials) is 5 mins by car and the main town 10 mins (all essentials including restaurants). Or you can just chill out and lay by the 6M x 12M pool, forget the tourists, pollution and stresses of modern life and relax in complete privacy and peace except for the sound of the birds, and odd rutting stag

Other Activities: Rock Climbing, Canoeing

Fabulous view but there is a downside

1 out of 5
Review Submitted: 7 April 2013 Date of Stay: July 2012
Stayed for a week last summer. Very isolated place- 45-60 mins from a town/main road but beautiful spot overlooking Tours de Merle castles. Very peaceful and nice little pool. It is an old farmhouse so you expect the odd mouse and things to be a bit rickety but inside it is a bit tired. Several things didn;t work, the rooms hadn't been properly cleaned ( quantity of mouse droppings in the bedroom etc) and the games room was an old table tennis table covered in guano.

That was tolerable. however the owner is something else. The info you are sent on booking is 7 pages of things to not do and complaints about previous guests. We should have been warned. We spent the morning before we left making sure the house was cleaner than we found it as we were told an old lady was coming to clean and who found it hard to get round. Nevertheless, we were refused our deposit on the grounds that a water bottle had leaked in the fridge and ruined it. We didn't leave a bottle of water in the fridge and we pointed out that even if we had, it wouldn;t have ruined the (very old) fridge. The owner then said we had left the fridge door open when we left and that had ruined it. Again untrue and since his janitor was waiting to go in when we left, even had we left it open he would have closed it withing 5 minutes. Unfortunately there was no reasoning with him. We just came up against one (the first one for us) of the owners who supplements the rental by keeping deposits. Very disappointing and given his background, quite shocking.

So all in all- if you want isolation and peace and quiet, fab spot but beware of the owner.
