About the home

The house is the Maison de Maitre (Master’s House) of the hamlet of Pompougnac, which is in the commune of Boissiere d’Ans. It is 2 km from the picturesque riverside village of Cubjac, and 16 km from Perigueux, the capital of the Dordogne region. The beaches, etangs and pine forests of the Atlantic coast are about 2 hours away.

The house is within a short walk of the River Auvezere and the waterfall at its junction with the Blame stream. There are many opportunities for walks in the forests and valleys of the vicinity. River swimming is possible from the beach at Cubjac, where canoes can also be hired. Cubjac has a weekly market (Friday mornings), general shop, boulangerie, boucherie, post office, pharmacy, pizzeria, creperie, hairdresser, and two bars (one with restarant). There is also a nice bar by the river in Le Change village nearby.

Boissiere d’Ans is one of the ‘Hanse’ villages whose water mills and foundries produced the canons for Napoleon’s armies.

Perigueux is an attractive mediaeval town with a wide variety of shops, restaurants, banks, etc. There is an extensive produce market on Saturday and Wednesday mornings. The Byzantine style cathedral is impressive, as are the various Roman remains and museum.

The many famous castles, chateaux, gardens and troglodyte sites of the Vezere and Dordogne valleys are within easy driving distance. There are also many impressive illuminated cave systems to visit, the nearest one being Tourtoirac (8 km) which first opened to the public in the summer of 2010.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
The three bedrooms have a double bed, two singles and a pair of bunk beds. There is also a travel cot.
There is an informal table for 8 in the kitchen and a formal table for 6 in the drawing room. In addition to the drawing room and kitchen, there is a scullery / store and a boiler / drying room with toilet and washbasin on the ground floor. The kitchen has a huge traditional stone fireplace and a beamed ceiling. The kitchen is well equipped and all the 'white goods' are new. The cooker is electric and there are two fridge/ freezers. There are French windows to the rear garden in both the kitchen and the drawing room. The bathroom has both bath and shower, plus bidet. The whole feeling of the house is very much of space and light, with comfortable furniture and tasteful decoration.

Further details outdoors:
The garden is very private with hedges surrounding the orchard at the front, and lovel rural views at the back. The best feature is the huge lime tree which gives shade to the back garden.....and supports the swinging garden seat. There is also a lot of garden furniture available and a stone BBQ. There is no swimming pool (hurrah), but it is lovely to have a dip at the waterfall at Boissiere d'Ans or from the little sandy beach in Cubjac.

Further details

Whole weeks, Saturday to Saturday are preferred.

The nearest airports are Bergerac (50 mins) and Limoges (55 mins). Flybe and Ryanair fly to both, and hire cars are available at both.
However, we usually drive via the Newhaven-Dieppe or Portsmouth-Caen ferries. Pompougnac is 400 miles from the Dieppe ferry port, a drive which takes us about 7.5 hours and only costs € 12 in autoroute tolls.

“Well equipped house in a great location, great value for money” We stayed in La Maison de Maitre for a week and had a wonderful time. We were 4 adults and 2 children and the house was suitable comfortably for all of us. The house is very big with a great bathroom and two large sleeping rooms for adults and a room children with bunk bed. The location is great for a trip in the Dorgdon region, located less than 1 hour drive from all the main attractions. The house is private with it's own parking lot and a private yard, although the house is not new and fency it supplies very good value for money, and we highly recommend it. The owner is extremely nice and hospitable.
