From the owner

Your peaceful holiday cottage, Le Peuplier at Cousserat, which has been lovingly renovated, awaits you. Sitting in a calm, tranquil part of the Bordeaux vine growing area, yet only a ten minute drive from the Dordogne River and twenty five minutes from the picturesque UNESCO site village of Saint Émilion, this old, stone built gite offers you a perfect space to relax and wind down. The 200 year old cottage mixes the charm of original oak beams and a stunning stone fireplace, housing a log burner for cooler spring and autumn evenings, with contemporary living. The cottage has one large bedroom with a king sized bed and a day bed that can be used as a single bed or an extra, restful space with comfortable cushions, to read your holiday novel. The fully tiled bathroom has a large, walk-in shower and heated towel rail. Downstairs, the open plan living accommodation offers you a modern, well equipped kitchen together with a relaxing seating area, satellite TV and dining table.

The space

Beautifully situated in our large gardens, surrounded by vineyards and woods, Le Peuplier can be found in the tiny hamlet of Cousserat. You will have sole use of the entire cottage and use of the shared pool that overlooks the vines and surrounding woodlands. Around the pool you will be able to chill out on comfortable sun loungers with soft mattresses either in the sun or the shade of a parasol.

Outside your gite you will find a comfortable wooden decked area for outside dining and drinking, including, of course, a BBQ for summer evening outdoor cooking. As well as a dining space, you can sit and relax on comfortable cushioned armchairs and settees which you can easily move around to be either in the sun or one of the several shaded areas around the gite gardens.

Comfortable bedding, crisp, cotton linen and Egyptian cotton towels are provided for you, together with pool towels. The kitchen is very well equipped and contains a dishwasher, washing machine, gas hob, electric fan oven and microwave. You will have wifi internet access and we also provide a brochure which details the many places, local attractions, vineyards and restaurants you can visit during your stay.

Our nearest village is Soussac, which is less than a mile away; you can find the local ‘depot de pain’ here and a café. Pellegrue is five minutes away by car and this is where you will find the nearest supermarket. Bordeaux is one hour away and Bergerac 45 minutes. In addition, we are about twenty minutes away from Sainte Foy La Grande which hosts the biggest regional market. Duras, with its ancient hilltop chateau is nearby as is Gensac which has two restaurants and a boulangerie. Saint Émilion is twenty minutes from Cousserat.The historic bastide town of Sauveterre-de-Guyenne is a 15 minute drive away. Finally, we are a 13 minute drive from the wedding venues Chateau Soulac and Chateau Rigaud.

Other things to note.

Bookings during July and August are for 7 nights with a minimum 3 night booking at all other times.

For the comfort and safety of our guests the cottage and our gardens are a strictly no smoking zone except in the designated area provided.
