The cottage was converted from a 300 year old stone farmhouse to provide modern accommodation while retaining all of its rustic charm. It is maintained to a high standard and has all modern comforts and facilities to make your holiday as relaxing as possible. The exposed stone walls and low beamed ceilings give the cottage a real old world feel, and the thick walls keep the cottage cool inside and provide a respite against the summer heat. Outside there is a sunny patio with a retractable sun canopy for shade, and then just a few steps to the 10m x 5m swimming pool. With a pool depth up to 2m, it's great for diving, exercising, playing or just relaxing. There are extensive gardens of grassy slopes and ancient woodland that you can explore along secret garden paths. Trees on the patio and near the pool provide shade for those hot summer afternoons. The cottage is totally private, and birds and wildlife abound in the natural woodland. We know that you want to keep in touch, even when you're relaxing by the pool, so we have provided wifi access not just in the house but in the garden too. In 2014 we installed a modern en suite bathroom for the master bedroom and we completely refitted the bathroom. Showers are roomy and you get a wide powerful spray, so, no dodging around to catch the drops from an inadequate shower head! Downstairs there is a full size washing machine in the WC. There are attractive paving and railings around the pool and a second patio area with barbecue make the pool and surroundings a real feature of the property. There are sun umbrellas and sun beds for relaxing by the pool and there is lighting in and around the pool so you can enjoy the long summer evenings. To the front of the house, an open sided barn is used to shelter the car and as a wood store. The cottage is on the edge of a small hamlet, and although there are neighbours on one side, they do not overlook the garden, which is on the opposite side of the house from neighbouring properties. Towels and linen are provided, and for rentals of more than a week, clean towels and linen are provided weekly. The property is cleaned between rentals. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Music library - Stereo - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Phone ### Location highlights - In a rural location ### Things to do - Bicycles - Golf - Kayak - Tennis ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Bicycles - Garden - Unit size: 1,572 square feet ## Similar properties ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34700000/34693200/34693108/154e3d99.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Périgord vert Gîte 6 pers. 25 mn from Périgueux.

The house is spacious inside and very well-equipped but the real delight is the huge and totally private garden surrounding the relatively large (10x5m) pool. Perfect for sun-worshiping, swimming or just relaxing. There are also many good walks and biking possibilities from the house through the nearby villages and facilities for canoeing on the Dronne river. ##### Richard H.

Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leila N. 23 Jun 2017 #### Wish we could have stayed longer! A beautiful and very relaxing stay at les Chauses. We stayed for a week but really we would have loved another week. The weather was scorching, in the 30's in May! The area is so quiet and peaceful, we were amazed by the amount of stars you can see at night. We took our bikes (although you can hire them here) it is a fantastic area to cycle around as the roads are so quiet and there are many restaurants within a close distance. We went to the Moulin du Pont in Lisle (took the long way round) the position on the river is beautiful and they even have their own trout on the menu. The house was very clean and the kitchen has everything you would need. I would certainly recommend the property and hope to be back again next year! ##### Leila N. Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### Simon B. 4 Jun 2017 #### Fantastic rural location Lovely quirky farmhouse very cosy and enjoyable stay for the week weather was wonderful and the pool was great to cool down in I would recommend the property to anyone wanting to get away from it all with Brantome just a few minutes away for all the restaurants you need for a lovely evening meal ##### Simon B. Stayed 7 nights in May 2017 Archival ### 8/10 Good #### Tom D. 5 Dec 2015 #### Lovely, peaceful and idyllic corner of the dordogn Lovely stay at Les Chauses. We had been before, but now the bathrooms have been re-done and there is really (!) good wifi, it makes such a difference. We had some lovely weather which helped! Andy was really informative in the leas up to the holiday and provided all the information we needed to make it stress-less! ##### Tom D. Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alison L. 17 Sept 2015 #### Peaceful retreat We had two weeks staying at Les Chauses with our two young children and Grandad and the weather was great. The area is very peaceful and quiet and we loved our time by the pool. We visited both Bourdeilles and Brantome for coffee, dinners and drinkies and sometimes just to wander around and absorb the atmosphere. Lunch at Le Mouline De L'Abbaye, Brantome was a particular high point. Highly recommend the kayaking on La Dronne with a picnic. All in all this holiday was the perfect combination of much needed relaxation, laziness and some great stuff to do and the property is ideal for that. ##### Alison L. Archival ### 8/10 Good #### Andrew H. 23 Aug 2015 #### Secluded Holiday Farmhouse My girlfriend, our three boys and I stayed for a week in August. We had a mixed week of half rain and half scorching sunshine. The house is located up some small lanes into a hamlet and is situated right at the end. The house is traditional country farmhouse style with beams (mind your head in the kitchen one which I hit several times, despite the warning!). The garden is a great size but with a slope down to the pool area and beyond One great positive which I did not realise is that the pool is heated. The previous year's holiday, a 20 degree pool can seem a little chilly, even on a hot day but this was 25-26 degrees so lovely in all climates. The house itself has all the things you would need although a little dark if you are inside sheltering from the rain. A few board games would have been nice but as a seasoned Dordorgne/Charente traveller, the weather is usually scorching sunshine! The master bedroom is very nice with loads of space and a great en-suite batthroom. The other two rooms area also good sizes and all have fans which you need if the weather is warm as it can get quite hot inside. Bourdeilles is just a 8-9 minute drive away (come out of the house down to the hamlet square and look for the sign) and there is a great boulangerie and a village shop which sells some great local boxes of wine and actually has a good selection of cheese/milk/meat etc if you don't want to drive all the way to Brantome (20 mins away). Brantome is definitely worth a visit and best way is to head on the road north of the river dronne and get on the dual carriageway to Peregeux before you get to Brantome. Follow this south for a mile or so and head into Brantome from the roundabout. This takes you past the local Carrefour supermarket and further up are lots of free car parks before you walk over the bridge into Brantome. Overall a great secluded farmhouse for a family or couple ##### Andrew H. Archival ### 10/10 Excellent 18 Oct 2014 #### An idylic haven Ours was a return visit to this beautiful place. The farmhouse is rustic, spacious and comfortable, well equipped and hidden away at the end of a tiny ancient hamlet. WiFi and the smart new bathroom and en-suite shower room were a bonus. The lovely large garden and woodland are private and peaceful. We enjoyed lingering lunches in the shade of the apple tree and evening barbecues beside the pool. Mostly you hear only the sounds of birds and insects. One bird has learned to imitate the sound of the pool alarm resetting itself. The night sky is amazing because of the lack of light pollution. We were fortunate with the weather, mainly warm and sunny, and swam most days even though the pool is getting cooler at this time of year. Cycling through the lovely countryside is a delight. The roads, lanes and tracks are so quiet. We can recommend cycling to La Tour Blanche for a good-value set lunch. Very good food lunchtimes and evenings at Le Moulin du Pont near Montagrier. Beautiful Brantome is a must to visit as is nearby Bourdeilles;a tiny town with a large chateau. Thank you to the owners and the kind couple who keep the house, garden and pool so well for a wonderful stay. Can't wait until the next time. Archival ### 10/10 Excellent 24 Sept 2014 #### A Wonderful Retreat A wonderful two weeks that went far too quickly. Weather was so fantastic, much hotter than expected!! Well done with the new bathrooms they are brilliant. Felt like a wonderful home from home, so good to come back again. The fans in the bedrooms are a great addition. The pool was wonderful and enjoyed every day. A big thank you to Ron and Sonia xx We were also lucky to enjoy the shooting stars!! Thank you Andrew and Adele for letting us stay in your beautiful home. James, Tracy, Scarlett, Ross, India, Watson & Elsie xxx Archival ### 10/10 Excellent 26 Jul 2014 #### Les Chauses The most peaceful of properties in lovely French countryside. Very spacious and well equipped. We had such a relaxing time that we really did not want to leave. Even when the weather is not so good, there is plenty of entertainment systems indoors with Sky and satellite tv, to keep in touch with the UK (if you want to!). When the sun shines, the garden is just the best way to while away you day around the pool, which was most welcome when you need to cool off. Beds are a mix of doubles and singles, both hard and soft comfort to suit everyone needs. ---
