About this property
Spacious Cottage With Lovely Views And Garden/woodland, Privately Situated
La Maison d'Amis is a traditional detached stone Perigourdin cottage located within Perigord /Limousin Regional Natural Park. This one bedroom property is spacious and airy with wonderful high ceilings and stone walls. A fully equipped kitchen, spacious lounge/diner and adjoining bedroom with french doors open to the garden for relaxing in the sun. Three different sitting areas with outside table and chairs. Blackout curtains in the bedroom are perfect for a good nights sleep. Separated by a courtyard and large barn from the owners house it is very private and has it's own garden with views across the valley and meadow and backing onto a small wood where you are free to walk the footpaths. The property is all on one level apart from a small step between the kitchen and main living space. Access to the property from the parking area is via a grassed path into a courtyard which has some cobblestone areas. It is slightly uneven but accessible with care for people with limited mobility . Great for bird watchers and nature lovers, we have seen black woodpeckers, tree creepers, nut hatches and hoopoes amongst many others . It is an ideal retreat for a peaceful break, perfect for couples or friends. The road to Chez Neymard and La Maison d'Amis is literally on the way to nowhere, we are at the end of a single track road, so peace and quiet is assured.

About the host
Hosted by RUTH CHARLTON
Adrian and I ran our willow basket making business in England since 1985. We moved to France in 2013 to semi retire, still growing our willows and selling our baskets but hopefully working a bit less. (well that was the plan!!) Since moving here I have concentrated on our organic garden and the gite. Adrian is still busy with basket orders and has taken up painting alongside this. He has a small display of his still lives, landscapes or abstract art available in the gite. We live here full time and continue to love our life in la belle France
Why they chose this property
We always enjoyed living in the country in the UK and wanted a similar rural setting in France. Although we know Provence better than the Dordogne we prefer the landscape and the climate in this part of France so decided to concentrate our search in The Perigord Vert. When we first saw Chez Neymard and La Maison d'Amis we were smitten and since moving here we have discovered what makes this part of the Perigord so appealing. There is a gentleness and intimacy about the view of the valley from La Maison d'Amis and even on grey days the mists that hang in the valley slowly lift to reveal the church steeple of nearby Champs Romain to the north and the patchwork of fields and broadleaved woodlands to the east.
What makes this property unique
La Maison d'Amis is ideally suited for couples looking for a relaxing break in an unspoilt rural location. Tastefully renovated, fully refreshed in 2025 and in it's eleventh season it is perfect for walking, birdwatching, swimming, (St Saud Lake, 6.5 miles), kayaking on the Dronne, cycling or just taking it easy and enjoying the fresh air and tranquility. People with a love of crafts will enjoy the basket studio and workshop and could combine this with a break for a holiday with a difference. We cultivate willows in our garden and have a basket atelier which guests are welcome to visit and watch the basket making process.
