Le Marronnier - Private heated pool plus 6 seater jacuzzi.

The Marronnier can comfortably sleep 12 people, the beautiful barn conversion which sleeps 8 people in 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms and our little Perigordian cottage that is just adjacent offers a further 2 bedrooms and a bathroom, sleeping 12 people in total.

Situated at the back of a tiny hamlet with its own private driveway and in its own grounds the Marronnier is in a peaceful setting. There's plenty of space/seating/sun loungers for everyone. Large outdoor covered terrace with plancha, BBQ, outdoor sink, fridge.

From the large picture window of the main house you can see the walled garden which is a little haven with its heated pool, gazabo and seating. The wafting lavender and raised wooden garden beds make this the perfect place to relax and unwind.
The large lawned garden leads to the grassy meadow where there is badminton, trampoline, swing set, boules and table tennis to keep the children happy, lots of space to play as well lots of tracks and trails straight from the property.

Le Marronnier is an ideal base for sight seeing with lots of tourist attractions nearby, restaurants, chateaux, famous caves, historic towns, quaint villages, truffle orchards/restaurants, local markets, canoeing, velorail, acro branch, horse riding, walking trails, gold panning, water skiing (lake) rock climbing (locally), geocaching ........
