Description
Manoir Colombe is on the border of two exceptional regions - near enough to the Dordogne for foie gras and great wines, whilst benefiting from the warmer and drier climate of the Lot.
Just a five-minute stroll across the Roman style bridge takes you to the village bakery, grocery store, bar/tabac/restaurant and post office. The desirable villages of Eymet and Duras are a short drive away.
This 17th-century manor house is steeped in history and even boasts one of the finest Pigeonniers in France, which is a National Monument. The house full of rustic charm and beauty with terracotta floors, exposed wooden beams and thick, stone walls which keep the house cool.
Its two hectares of grounds offer a pretty and romantic walled garden lined with lavender, a lawned courtyard and pergolas of wisteria and ivy. In the rest of the grounds there are many secluded areas to simply sit and enjoy your surroundings. There is also a large private swimming pool, table tennis and boules pitch for the more active guests. The outside dining table is perfect for late afternoon lunches and dinners under the stars whilst devouring all the delicious local delicacies purchased from the local markets.
Manoir Colombe is a charming and idyllic base for a holiday or celebration and is ideally located with absolute tranquillity and privacy yet close to amenities, with a village within walking distance and the surrounding area full of wineries, historic chateaux, caves and famous towns including Bergerac, Bordeaux and Toulouse. /n Security deposit /n £1000 for holiday rentals/£2000 for weddings (to be paid by bank transfer when paying the balance) /n Arrival time /n 4.00 p.m. /n Departure time /n 10.00 a.m. /n Energy costs included? /n Yes /n Linen & towels included? /n Bed linen, bath & pool towels included. /n Pets welcome? /n On request only /n Changeover day /n Flexible /n End of stay cleaning included? /n Yes.
