Photos and Description of this Lot holiday cottage
Situated in the picturesque hamlet of Carsac-Aillac, only 2kms from Carsac.
A pretty, modern but French-styled stone cottage, sleeping 6, tastefully furnished, well equipped and maintained to a high standard by the current owners.
On a hill, overlooking a few other delightful properties, but not at all overlooked itself, it offers comfort and privacy and is ideal for a typically French holiday.
The utterly fascinating, medieval town of Sarlat la Caneda, with its old squares and buildings, is not far away and offers a huge range of beautiful shops, pavement cafes, bars, restaurants, patisseries, boulangeries, chocolatiers and twice weekly market (each Wednesday and Saturday).
Carsac (2kms) is ideal for general shopping and access to the River Dordogne - try canoeing, a perfect way to see this superb river and the villages and chateaux along its banks.
Horse-riding, ballooning, beautiful chateaux, superb ornamental gardens, and prehistoric caves are all within easy driving distance.

The softener system also means that less soap is required in the washing machine.
