This secluded holiday cottage is part of a magnificent manor-house, Peycibeau, which is situated in the heart of the Dordogne, only 8km from the famous medieval town of Sarlat. It is surrounded by an estate of 42 acres with private parkland and shaded woodlands, offering a holiday in perfect seclusion and tranquility. The setting is truly breath-taking!The owners, Julia and Glenn Tomkins, who moved here from England five years ago, maintain the house and grounds to the highest standard. This is reflected in the rental accommodation, which is contained within a separate wing of the ground floor of the house, and which has been recently decorated and very comfortably furnished. There is a large sitting room, with a newly fitted kitchen, including dishwasher, fridge, oven, hob & hood, microwave, and all the necessary kitchenware. Also in this room are a large dining table and chairs, a dresser, sofa bed, and a radio and television (for viewing DVDs which are available). There are two comfortably furnished bedrooms, one with a large double bed, the other with twin beds. Four persons, therefore, can be accommodated perfectly, and a fifth person could sleep on the large comforatble sofa bed in the sitting room. A cot is also available, and a washing machine, iron etc. There is also Wi-Fi internet connectivity available. There is a large bathroom, with a bath and a separate shower, basin & WC. All bedding and towels are provided and there is central heating in all rooms. The guest wing of the house has completely private access, with an entrance through French windows at the front, and also a door to the rear garden, where there is a secluded terrace, with barbeque, and a path leading to the heated swimming pool, which is daily maintained. (Although members of the resident family use the pool, private bathing times can be agreed on arrival.) Entrance to the property is through electric gates, and there is ample parking close to the house. Although the property is secluded, and this is undoubtedly its main attraction, only 2 kilometers away (a few minutes by car or bicycle and 15 minutes on foot, via the cycle path) is the picturesque village of Carsac, with the best Boulangerie for miles around, and many other amenities, including a butchers, general store, chemist and post office, restaurants and a bar/tabac. The Dordogne river is a few minutes further down the road, where there are quiet banks to bathe, fish or canoe, and only 8 kilometers away is the wonderful, historic town of Sarlat.
