Photos and Description of this Coux et Bigaroque holiday cottage 2-bedroom cottage for 4; 1-bedroom cottage for 2; luxury bathrooms & kitchens

Furnished with antiques and large, comfortable beds, these traditional Perigordian farm buildings have been converted to high standard self-catering cottages that retain many original features. Located at the end of a lane on the edge of a small hamlet and looking out over a wooded valley, the detached cottages are set in peaceful surroundings without being isolated. And, with efficient heating, both are perfect for a relaxing or romantic countryside holiday all year round. Five minutes by car to a beach on the river Dordogne, le Cluzel offers easy access to many chateaux, vineyards, gardens and prehistoric cave dwellings. The Périgord is renowned for wonderful foods such as truffles, walnuts, duck, strawberries, foie gras... A stroll through the markets in the local towns and villages will tempt you with the abundance of fresh fruit and produce. And if you're planning to attend a wedding or other event at the nearby Chateau de Cazenac, le Cluzel is the perfect place to stay.

Details for le Chai 1 Bedroom, Sleeps 2, 1 Bathroom

Built over three hundred years ago for making wine at le Cluzel, le Chai is now a cosy cottage that's perfect for couples - or indeed for single holiday makers. Set in its own grounds and with separate vehicular entrance and parking space as well as its own gateway to the gardens surrounding la Grange and the main house, le Chai enjoys seclusion without being isolated. On the main floor there's a living room with dining and sitting areas, furnished with a mix of antique and new furniture, plus a beautifully fitted kitchen area beside double doors to the large, sunny terrace outside. Heating is by electric wall radiators and in the winter there'll be a woodburning stove with the capacity to keep the whole cottage snug. Upstairs, with a new large double bed and antique furniture, the bedroom leads to the luxuriously fitted en-suite shower room. Le Cluzel has two hectares of grounds that our guests are welcome to explore and enjoy.

Le Cluzel is convenient for lots of the major tourist attractions in the Perigord, including pretty towns like Montpazier, Domme and Sarlat. Visit the chateaux of Beynac, Castelnaud, les Milandes (the home of the entertainer, Josephine Baker) and Hautefort. Admire the elegant gardens of le Manoir d'Eyrignac, wander along above the Dordogne in the gardens of Marqueyssac, or explore the many caves that abound in this area: Proumeyssac, Font de Gaume and, of course, the famous Lascaux II. There's a beach at Coux et Bigaroque, where you can swim in safety on hot days - there's a lifeguard on duty in the summer and often even an old-fashioned icecream van selling ices and cool drinks! You can go shopping, visit the cinema (often you'll find films in the original English-speaking version), eat out in the interesting old towns of Bergerac and Perigueux, or relax and take the train to Bordeaux. We're also very conveniently located for the Chateau de Cazenac.

Additional information about rental rates

  • We prefer rental in euros but can take sterling if necessary. Advance reservations are confirmed on receipt of a security deposit of 200€, with the full rental payable six weeks before the start date of the holiday. We can accept payment by cheque and bank transfer. Late bookings (less than six weeks ahead of the holiday start date) are confirmed once we've received the whole of the rental due plus the 200€ security deposit.
  • We'll return your security deposit as soon as we have checked over the property on your departure and found that all is well.
  • Over the winter season this year, we plan to add a woodburner in the living room and a laundry room downstairs. It's also possible that we'll add a second bedroom with en-suite bathroom, in which case we shall adjust our rental rates for spring/summer 2010 to reflect those improvements.

Stunning ....

Steve and Kerry Kent, England
Review Submitted: October 3, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
French cuisine, French wine, an idyllic location and absolutely stunning accommodation, you really couldn't ask for anything more!! The only downside to our visit was having to leave ......

The hosts, Philip and Margaret, are exceptionally welcoming and accommodating. They even managed to arrange for the sun to shine continuously during our stay.

The cottage was impeccably clean and fully equipped with high quality goods whilst still maintaining its rustic charm. For those who like to cook, the kitchen has a full compliment of good cooking utensils, so eating in is no trouble at all (yes, we did try and test these). Also, although we didn't have an opportunity to use it, you cannot help but be impressed by the barbeque.

The location is truly remarkable, although a car is a must to fully explore and appreciate le Coux et Bigaroque and surrounding villages. Next year - we might even try some kayaking on the Dordogne river.......
