Built in 1881, it has now been developed by the owners and become a superb cottage, a haven of peace and tranquillity, with perfectly appointed rooms, open plan but with definite designated areas, beautifully furnished, well equipped and with fantastic views over the countryside beyond. This property is ideal for lovers of art, photography, sketching and drawing. The owner is a talented artist herself and, although she does not give lessons, she will be able to tell you where to find the very best views and wonderful scenery far away from the main tourist attractions and which you may not be able to find yourselves. The owners live in their own house across the courtyard at the back of the barn but you would be quite private, particularly with your own separate entrance to the barn. However, they would be able to give you lots of information about this lovely region which you may not be able to find on your own. They are there if you need them, not if you don’t. They do have three delightful, small, well behaved dogs which you may see from time to time but would not intrude. A short drive to the village of Payrac 4.7kms away where you will find a boulangerie for your morning croissants, grocers for general shopping, Post Office (mornings only). The larger medieval market towns of Souillac and Gourdon are within 15 mins drive where there are supermarkets, bars, boutiques, chocolatieres, pavement cafes to watch the world go by, and lively farmers markets. The property is situated in 2 acres of mature garden full of flowers and shrubs and, although in the countryside, all the attractions of this wonderful region of France are within easy driving distance. This is an area full of glorious views, wild flowers, birds and wild life in abundance. Visit the underground caves with prehistoric paintings, fairytale chateaux, amazing architecture, lakes, the beautiful River Dordogne and the prettiest medieval villages abound in the region, many of them with lively, bustly market days full of the taste of the region and bonhommie.
