delightful holiday cottage in France

There are many interesting walks along country lanes in the steep-sided wooded valleys around the cottage. The spring in the valley below the house runs (eventually) into the Dordogne river.

In early summer, in particular, wild flowers of many varieties abound. A number of wild orchids - Bee Orchids, Fly Orchids and Spider Orchids amongst them - which are now rare in Britain - grow freely here. Nearly sixty different wild birds have been sighted. If you're very quiet, you might even see a red squirrel, a marten or a genet.

The cottage is fully furnished and equipped for your self-catering holiday, to accommodate a maximum of six people. While the cottage is not fully wheelchair accessible, the accommodation is all on one level, so it is suitable for those who have problems with stairs. See the floorplan for more information. The accommodation comprises:-

• Living/dining room with large open fireplace fiited with wood burning stove (wood provided), television (UK channels), CD / cassette player / radio, easy chairs and dining table leading onto:
  
• Fitted kitchen area with sink, cupboards, gas cooker, dishwasher, toaster, electric kettle, microwave combination oven and large refrigerator with freezer compartment
  
• One bedroom with double bed
  
• Two bedrooms with twin beds
  
• Sun terrace with extensive views, equipped with garden furniture, table and barbecue
  
• Shower room with shower and basin
  
• WC / Utility with hand basin, washing machine and laundry sink
  

The cottage is fully equipped for self-catering, with the exception of bed linen, towels and tea-towels, which you are asked to provide. If you are flying, it may sometimes be possible to provide linen, towels etc. - please ask. There is an additional charge of £15 for this. Duvets and pillows are provided for the beds. A cot (without bedding) and a high chair are also available - please ask at the time of booking your holiday.

Clean, well-behaved pets welcome at no extra charge (whether dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs etc!) - there is plenty of open space around the cottage. We can provide details of a local vet who will provide certification for re-entry into the UK or other EU countries at the end of your holiday, under the Pet Passport scheme.

The Dordogne / Lot region is wonderful for holidays: great scenery, chateaux, food, wine and so on. We're sure you'll have a great holiday.
