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 acres of woodland, this secluded hand-crafted cabin has cosy accommodation for two or four. Stylishly equipped in a simple, rustic style, all your homely comforts are provided by a combination of alternative energies. You can even plug in your iPod to 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. Here, nature abounds. Sit quietly and you’ll see many interesting birds, butterflies, all manner of dragonflies, maybe wild deer, squirrels, pine martens, even wild boar! There are wild flowers of all kinds including wild strawberries, and the region is famed for its mushrooms. The cabin is kitted out with guide books 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. Take advantage of our hassle-free bike hire and explore the many local paths 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.
