Dordogne self catering cabin sleeping 4

Description of Dordogne self catering cabin sleeping 4

Set on a granite promontory overlooking a huge lake and surrounded by rich, broadleaf forest, this secluded hand-crafted cabin has cosy accommodation for two to four people. Simply equipped in a rustic style, the cabin is completely off grid, we have a solar/battery system for lights, and you can also plug in your phone to charge on our 12-volt system.

You approach the cabin down a track with forests and lakes on either side and glimpses up to an ancient Chateau. Over the rise, the cabin and beautiful lake are laid out before you. Depending on the season, sit quietly and you may see many interesting birds, butterflies, all manner of dragonflies, maybe wild deer, squirrels, pine martens, even wild boar! There are wildflowers of all kinds including wild strawberries, and this region is famed for its wild mushrooms. The cabin is kitted out with guidebooks on all the above, as well as binoculars, walking sticks and a compass.

While here, we recommend a visit to one of the colourful local markets, where you can buy fabulous fresh produce. We have maps of all the local footpaths and bridleways or if that seems a bit energetic, spend a few hours relaxing on the raft listening to the fish jump and the frogs croak. There is fishing tackle, too. The cabin has an eclectic library as well as many art materials and board games for whiling away a rainy day.
