A fairy tale you might think, but one brought to life by a British family that loves France and particularly this part of the Périgord-Limousin Natural Regional Park in northern Dordogne. This historical property has been renovated to retain many of it’s original features with its 13th century tower & chapel and thick granite walls, vast rooms and cavernous fireplaces, stunning terrace overlooking lakes, fields and forests and an abundance of nearby villages, towns and famed attractions. Come and relax in this character property with its plunge pool and gardens, play boules, practise your archery skills or just soak up the sun with tea and scones or wine. Take strolls amidst the lakes and woodlands or venture further afield to explore the route taken by Richard the Lion Heart. Eat and drink like a King (or Queen) with the cuisine and wine that this region is world renowned for. Visit abbeys and churches and other nearby chateaus. And when your day is done relax on the terrace as the clouds drift by and everyday stresses melt away. You, like us will fall under the spell of Chateau Gros Puy and leave feeling refreshed, replenished and reflecting on memories to cherish forever more. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Free breakfast available ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub - Hair dryer - Shower - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Limited housekeeping - Safe ### Location highlights - In a rural location ### Things to do - Billiards/pool table - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Property does not allow children ## Similar properties ![TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/95000000/94860000/94856400/94856315/3185cb26.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Air-conditioned house with private garden and parking Saint-Martial-de-Valette - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Free Wi-Fi [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-11&endDate=2026-03-12&selected=94856315&PinnedHotelID=94856315&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/114000000/113190000/113189000/113188931/dccc2f01.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Maison de Reves in Piéguts Pluviers w/ Pool Piégut-Pluviers - Pool - Hot tub - Washing machine - Dryer [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-11&endDate=2026-03-12&selected=113188931&PinnedHotelID=113188931&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![A heated pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/92000000/91560000/91556000/91555995/cc970abe.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Grange La Chouette - Five Bedroom Villa, Sleeps 10 Étouars - Pool - Kitchen - Washing machine - Pet-friendly [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-11&endDate=2026-03-12&selected=91555995&PinnedHotelID=91555995&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/92000000/91110000/91107000/91106988/d881ac4a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Former rustic bakery, four bedrooms, with pool in idyllic village La Chapelle-Montbrandeix - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washing machine 10 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-11&endDate=2026-03-12&selected=91106988&PinnedHotelID=91106988&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/48000000/47010000/47008800/47008773/970eca6d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Spacious, quiet house in the heart of the Périgord Vert region augignac - Kitchen - Washing machine - Outdoor space - Fireplace [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-11&endDate=2026-03-12&selected=47008773&PinnedHotelID=47008773&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Living area](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/95000000/94750000/94745000/94744941/89ff7a05.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Gite de Luxe de 160m2 Avec Piscine et Jardin Arboré Piégut-Pluviers - Washing machine [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-11&endDate=2026-03-12&selected=94744941&PinnedHotelID=94744941&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/55000000/54680000/54674500/54674430/f529fff1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Gîte rural La Fournière Augignac - Kitchen - Washing machine - Outdoor space - Barbecue grill [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-11&endDate=2026-03-12&selected=54674430&PinnedHotelID=54674430&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/114000000/113520000/113517600/113517578/f36ddb18.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Vacation home in the campaign.

They are both hunters. I know this is not everyone's cup of tea, but a lot of people from that generation in rural France do like hunting, fishing, fetching mushrooms. There are woodlands all around the karting circuit. My dad and his friend have built some platforms in the trees, and from mid-October to mid-November they go there every morning to shoot migrating birds. Those ones are some sort of wood pigeons going from Eastern Europe / Russia to North Africa. I did my own shooting that morning... with my camera! The sunrise was spectacular with some nice pink colours and mist in the valley.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248634540050801/5c3a512b-33b7-401e-aa75-0ccebc159f86.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Regional Natural Park Périgord Limousin 1 min walk \- 0.0 miles - Château de Montbrun 20 min drive \- 12.9 miles - Golf International de la Preze 36 min drive \- 20.7 miles - Brantôme Abbey 37 min drive \- 23.2 miles - Jumillac Castle 37 min drive \- 25.4 miles ### Getting around - La Coquille Station 27 min drive - Limoges (LIG-Limoges Intl.) 53 min drive ### Restaurants - Camping Chateau le Verdoyer 10 min drive - Le Moulin du Grand Etang 17 min drive - Hôtel De France 26 min drive - Auberge de Mérigaut - Le Bourdeix 17 min drive - SARL Pergau 17 min drive ## Frequently asked questions ### Does Historic Chateau in the french countryside of North Dordogne have a pool? ### Is Historic Chateau in the french countryside of North Dordogne pet-friendly? ### How much is parking at Historic Chateau in the french countryside of North Dordogne? ### What time is check-in at Historic Chateau in the french countryside of North Dordogne? ### What time is check-out at Historic Chateau in the french countryside of North Dordogne? ### Where is Historic Chateau in the french countryside of North Dordogne located? ## Have a question?
