Escapade pleine nature au bord de l’eau

Très joli gîte (n’1 sur 3 logements) espace et confort , pleine nature au bord de l’eau (la Drône), grand jardin à disposition pour là farniente, à disposition canoës au ponton au pied de la propriété. Hôtes très accueillants. Très bon séjour, dommage que la départementale soit si proche. Je recommande.

Une "petite gare" où l'on a envie de rater le train pour rester

Un cadre ravissant ! Le moulin, avec son magnifique jardin au bord de l'eau (sans moustiques !) est un havre de paix et de charme. Le gîte est tout aussi agréable, bien conçu et très bien équipé, et la pergola qui donne sur l'allée de verdure est un vrai bonheur pour les repas ou la sieste. On regrettera juste la douche, un peu petite, surtout que la salle de bain est grande. Bref, un séjour des plus plaisants. Merci aux propriétaires pour leur accueil très sympathique (notre bonjour aux poulettes et à monsieur Coq !)

Merci aux propriétaires pour leur accueil et le partage de ce bel endroit tourné sur la nature. Les pieds dans l'eau pour apprécier la ballade en canoë, le chant des oiseaux et des grenouilles, bref une parenthèse enchantée. A renouveler ! Claude et Patricia

A perfectly delightful retreat.

A beautiful old- world cottage in the most picturesque setting. The river is, as described, right on the doorstep and using the canoes provided you can take a leisurely paddle up river to the next village. If you are after tranquility and peace, this is the spot. Close enough to Ribérac but far enough out too! Alain and Nathalie made us feel very welcome. We would not hesitate to book this location again.

Fantastisch

Het huis is erg comfortabel en erg mooi gelegen vlak aan de rivier. Wij hebben er erg van genoten. In de omgeving is veel te zien voor cultuurliefhebbers. Eigenlijk was onze vakantie te kort 😉

A peaceful located gite in in a delightful garden by the river

The gite is situated in a delightful garden onlooking the water. the atmosphere is enchanting. One can swim there and there is free use of the owner's kayaks. The owners are very helpful and welcoming. We have enjoyed our stay very much. It's only basic drawback is procsimity to the road and the noise of traffic - for people sensitive to it. Points for improvement: The kitchen is a little under equipped and too small for a family, especially the fridge. (cutting nives not cutting, no grater...) On hot nights (and there are!!!!) a ventilator would be helpful

Logement conforme au descriptif, propre avec des équipements fonctionnels

Accueil agréable, et attentionné (confiture maison et café disponible à notre arrivée et mise à disposition de bois de chauffage). La propriétaire a été réactive pour remplacer le boitier de la TNT tombé en panne. Elle a su rester discrète bien qu'habitant sur le site. Nous avons passé un bon séjour. Jacqueline et Eric GREBERT

Nous conseillons ce gîte

Après un accueil très sympathique et convivial de la propriétaire, nous avons eu le plaisir de profiter de ce charmant gîte. Quel plaisir de bouquiner dans le jardin verdoyant et fleuri tout en contemplant la Dronne qui coule à nos pieds. Les poules caquettes autour de nous en toute liberté et c'est très agréable. D'ici, les excursions vers Brantôme, Bourdeilles, St jean de Côle, Aubeterre etc... sont aisées. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié cet endroit. Bonne adresse. N'hésitez pas à la découvrir.

Lovely house, peaceful and relaxing.

The property is part of a water mill on the banks of the Drone. 2 bed house is well equipped and comfortable with a private terrace. It is very peaceful, relaxing place. We used canoes provided by Nathalie and had great swimming days. Plenty to do in the area around including cycling. A great location. Nathalie and Thierry were very helpful and kind to us and didnt intrude at all.

Paradise........

The property was lovely with everything you need....but the environment was outstanding! We canoed for free right from our garden and swam in the beautiful river Dronne. The owner was so lovely finding and booking us a restaurant that would cater for vegetarians..........thank you Nathalie

Nice Place to be

Das hübsche und romantische Anwesen liegt an einer gut befahrenen Straße. Wir sind sehr freundlich empfangen worden, und während unseres Aufenthaltes leistete uns die Katze des Hauses gerne Gesellschaft. Die Einrichtung war wie beschrieben und zweckmäßig. Alles war funktionstüchtig und in gutem Zustand..

very recommendable house for a holiday

We enjoyed our stay at the mill by the river. The house was clean, spacious and well equipped. It was very nice to swim and take the canoe on the river. The surroundings of the house are quiet and beautiful, full of nature, flowers and animals. You have a lot space around the house that you can use, also a volleyball net and an ping pong table. It's a pity that there is some noice from the road that leads on a short distance. Also the attractions that make the Dordogne famous are further away. But all in all a very recommendable house for a holiday.
