About the home

The house is in fact three restored 19th century farmers cottages, now joined to give one huge family living space. The interiors are simple but stylish. A traditional stone walled living room, a huge fireplace with wood burning stove, lots of beams and beautiful wooden furniture. We chose tiles that are cool in summer with underfloor heating in winter. Mod cons such as satellite and internet access give you all the comforts of home, without forgetting you are in a farmhouse in France. Within the living room you have a pool/Table Tennis, music station, and TV area close to the large wood burning stove making this a real family space. The pool and grounds are private and are only used by guests.

Le Verdier, where the gite is situated, is a little Hamlet on the Border of the Charante and Dordogne. We are close to local Wine producing Towns and Cities including Bordeaux, Cognac and St-Emilion. Being only minutes away from river beaches and French markets you can see why we came to live here.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
A high quality Family kitchen, a separate dining room, with open fire and antique furniture makes it perfect for entertaining and, of course, being her means you count the days in the summer when you cannot dine outside! Tranquil bedrooms are decorated in French country colours and have good size beds, with comfortable matress's and pillows and ample storage space. The bathrooms are quirky and the master en suite has a huge shower and roll top bath. Towels including Pool towels are provided for every guest.

Further details outdoors:
The pool is all important where families are concerned. It is where the children want to spend most of the day, especially when young ones have there own paddling pool. Whilst splashing and learning to swim you will find it hard to get them out. A huge stone BBQ has the pool on one side and a summer lounge on the other. Comfortable teak table, chairs and loungers, can be used in both sunny and shaded areas of the terrace which is surrounded by lavender.

For the children there is an enclosed area with climbing frame and huge sand pit with buckets, spades, diggers and more....and if they still have enough energy at the end of the day, the garden, which seems to disappear into the countryside, is big enough for a game of football and, there are plenty of places for hide and seek.

If it gets too hot there are indoor toys, games, dvds, and books. There are also plenty of local places to visit and things to do for all ages.
