About this property
Totally Secluded Stone Cottage with Private Pool, 2 acres of Garden and Woodland
A secluded cottage in an idyllic setting, set at the end of a small track with no passing traffic in beautiful Dordogne countryside. The cottage was converted from a 300 year old stone farmhouse to provide modern accommodation while retaining all of its rustic charm. It is maintained to a high standard and has all modern comforts and facilities to make your holiday as relaxing as possible.
The exposed stone walls and low beamed ceilings give the cottage a real old world feel, and the thick walls keep the cottage cool inside and provide a respite against the summer heat.
Outside there is a sunny patio with a retractable sun canopy for shade, and then just a few steps to the 10m x 5m swimming pool. With a pool depth up to 2m, it's great for diving, exercising, playing or just relaxing. There are extensive gardens of grassy slopes and ancient woodland that you can explore along secret garden paths. Trees on the patio and near the pool provide shade for those hot summer afternoons.
The cottage is totally private, and birds and wildlife abound in the natural woodland.
We know that you want to keep in touch, even when you're relaxing by the pool, so we have provided wifi access not just in the house but in the garden too.
In 2014 we installed a modern en suite bathroom for the master bedroom and we completely refitted the bathroom. Showers are roomy and you get a wide powerful spray, so, no dodging around to catch the drops from an inadequate shower head! Downstairs there is a full size washing machine in the WC.
There are attractive paving and railings around the pool and a second patio area with barbecue make the pool and surroundings a real feature of the property. There are sun umbrellas and sun beds for relaxing by the pool and there is lighting in and around the pool so you can enjoy the long summer evenings.
To the front of the house, an open sided barn is used to shelter the car and as a wood store.
The cottage is on the edge of a small hamlet, and although there are neighbours on one side, they do not overlook the garden, which is on the opposite side of the house from neighbouring properties.
Towels and linen are provided, and for rentals of more than a week, clean towels and linen are provided weekly. The property is cleaned between rentals.

About the host
Hosted by Andrew Dunn

We bought Les Chauses as our holiday home in 2000. After spending many happy holidays there, we moved there permanently in 2006. After 4 years of soaking up the French lifestyle, and now with a new grandson, we decided to move back to the UK to be closer to family.
We love our French cottage because it is so peaceful and relaxing and we can enjoy the quiet and natural environment as we please in our private garden and woods.

Why they chose this property
We spent several years of house hunting before we found our perfect French holiday home. We knew when we first set foot in it that we had found our dream property. It had everything we wanted - full of character; large garden and natural woodland; a totally tranquil environment, with only the sounds of wildlife and the countryside; surrounded by beautiful countryside and picturesque towns and villages with superb restaurants.
To complete our dream holiday home, we just needed to build our 10mx5m swimming pool, and to update the house with modern amenities.

What makes this property unique
We think Les Chauses is a unique holiday home. Properties that offer such a combination of beautiful surroundings, tranquility and privacy are few and far between. The pool and garden are not overlooked and are solely for the use of guests.
The cottage is on the edge of a pretty hamlet, so it is not totally isolated and you will meet the neighbours around the hamlet, but it is at the end of a small track, so there will be no passing traffic to disturb you.
