The "gazebo" is a very spacious cottage which can accommodate up to 3 people (1 bedroom and a convertible sofa) it also has a private terrace under a gazebo. Direct access to the river. The 3 lodgings have been recently renovated in contemporary comfort and will seduce you with their exceptional location by the river. You have direct access for swimming, fishing or canoe trips. Located 5 minutes from Ribérac, they will be the starting point for many visits to the region. This 18th century mill belonged to the 12th century Romanesque abbey of Saint-Saud-Lacoussière above Brantôme. Presumably built on old foundations, we find it on the 18th century Cassini cards; its architecture is from the XIXth century. It became an eel fishery at the end of the 19th century, then the refuge of a historian writer, before opening up to you on the Dronne. The water quality is exceptional, it is a dream place for fishing or walks. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - DVD player - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas - Note from host: Uniquement à l'extérieur ### Services and conveniences - Change of bedsheets (on request) - Change of towels on request - Housekeeping (on request) ### Location highlights - In a rural location - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Kayak - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Swimming 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 (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - At least 10% of profits reinvested in community and sustainability - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - At least 80% of food locally-sourced - Bed sheets changed on request - Composting - Comprehensive recycling policy - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - Garden - Housekeeping (on request) - Local culture and ecosystem education - Locally-owned and organised tours and activities - Towels (changed on request) - Unit size: 560 square feet - Water-efficient showers - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/46000000/45860000/45859200/45859199/87a5b092.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Gîte in a mill on the Dronne in the Dordogne.
