From the owner

Set in a small hamlet 3 km from the village of Varaignes, with its shops and restaurants, Chez Marot is a very comfortable light and atmospheric one bedroom holiday home with a small garden, 2 terraces, stunning views and ample free parking with garage space for cycles and motorcycles.

There is a fully fitted kitchen/diner, a living room with a wood burning stove and TV with UK (Sky), French and German (TNT) channels. Free wifi is available throughout. The spacious en-suite bedroom leads on to a private rear terrace with table & chairs, BBQ and sunloungers.

There is also a small utility room with additional W.C and washing machine.

Discover Brantome with its stunning abbey and an 11th century bell tower, canoeing and Friday market, only 40 minutes away. The lake and beach at St Estephe is 20 minutes away and the nearest city, Angouleme, can be reached in just 45 minutes.

This all makes for a relaxing break in the peace and quiet of the Dordogne countryside, with its quiet lanes ideal for walking and cycling.
