It is ideally suited to couples and families with up to two very young children (under 5s only) L’Abricotier (The Apricot Tree) is a beautifully renovated former farm cottage with a delightfully quirky interior. It is close to, but entirely independent from, our home which is situated across the courtyard. Accessed via a 200 m private lane, the cottage is surrounded by farmland and stunning views. It is quiet, peaceful and romantic but, despite its idyllic location, it is only 5 minutes’ drive from the small town of Montmoreau-St-Cybard which has many amenities and an excellent supermarket. At the front of the cottage is a small gravelled courtyard surrounded by a rustic fence for privacy. The rear of the cottage has a small, private garden area which overlooks our extensive organic vegetable garden with views over the valley beyond. The cottage is set within the grounds of our home and guests have the use of the above ground swimming pool, between 09.00h and 24.00h. The pool is reserved for cleaning, and our own personal use, up to 09.00h each day. Inside, the ground floor is open-plan and includes a roomy relaxing space with glazed doors onto the garden, a dining area and a spacious, well-equipped kitchen in which there is a large range cooker, fridge and microwave. Upstairs there is one, enormous bedroom with a small “sleeping nook” for children which contains a single bed and a cot which can be converted to a toddler bed by removing one side. There is also the possibility to replace the cot with a larger single bed if required. PLEASE NOTE (1) : There is an en suite bathroom equipped with a walk-in shower, toilet and wash basin. There is no bath. PLEASE NOTE (2) : a large beam, with 1.2 m clearance from the floor, runs across the entire room. Please check the photos, to see if this would cause any problems, before booking. Please also refer to the floor plan to ensure the sleeping arrangements are suitable for your family. The cottage does not have air conditioning but we do provide floor standing fans. Although the cottage is ideally suited to couples seeking a peaceful, romantic break, the bedroom can easily accommodate a young child and/or baby in a co, or two young children, when used as a family room. We provide a high chair, toddlers’ booster seat, potty, child’s toilet seat and baby bath as well as a selection of children's toys. On arrival, guests will find everything they need to prepare a simple evening meal and supplies for their first breakfast. We will be on hand to welcome you on arrival and help with any queries but will keep a discrete distance during your stay. Do note, however that we live, and work, on site. The property is very close to the Charente/Dordogne border with Aubeterre (voted one of the “prettiest villages in France”) only 15 minutes’ drive away. There, you will find a vibrant village square, bordered by shops and restaurants and all only a short walk away from a lovely river beach on The Dronne, where canoes can be hired or one can swim in the calm waters. The small town of Riberac is about 20 minutes away and has a very popular weekly market on Fridays. Angouleme – the “Cartoon Capital of the World” is 30 minutes away and Perigueux about an hour. The surrounding area is very beautiful and will appeal most to those wanting a quiet, relaxing break, deep in the countryside. Finally, we share our home with our Border Collie, Floss. She is entirely free range and, although she is not allowed within the cottage garden or courtyard, she is likely to greet you very enthusiastically whenever she sees you so please bear this in mind when considering your stay.
nous avons passé une superbe semaine. Stéphanie était toujours disponible, le logement fidèle a la description. Nous avions notre petite fille avec nous et tout était prévu pour qu'elle passe aussi des vacances inoubliables. je ne peux que recommander le logement.
Une maison de poupée dans un écrin de verdure ! Notre séjour chez Stéphanie & Dave a été extraordinaire. Le logement est une ancienne grange réaménagée en cottage tout de bois et de pierre vêtu, très joliment décoré et super cosy. La literie est d'excellente qualité. Le cottage fait partie du corps de ferme réaménagé par les hôtes, mais possède son propre jardin et un accès privé à une superbe piscine donnant sur les collines. Une petite pool house adjacente permet de se prélasser à l'ombre les jours de grosse chaleur. Enorme plus : la maison est super kids friendly : lit bébé, table de change, chaise haute, mais surtout plein de jeux pour les petits (trampoline, jeux montessori, bac à sable etc). Enfin et surtout : Stéphanie et Dave sont des hôtes hors pair. Nous avons été accueillis comme des amis avec une bouteille de vin, des fruits et légumes du potager, des coloriages pour les enfants... Et eu de belles conversations avec Stéphanie. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir !
This was our second stay at Stephanie's beautiful place, and we enjoyed our time there as much as we did the first time! The area is rural, very peaceful and surrounded by nature, we spent most of our time in and by the pool, and cooking and playing games on rainy days. Thank you very much for having us again!
Le gîte de Stephanie est formidable pour se reposer et se ressourcer, au milieu de la nature le grand calme et la beauté du paysage . Nous avons dormi comme jamais !! La piscine est parfaite aucun vis à vis offrant une vue magnifique sur la campagne Nos hôtes ont été d’une grande discrétion. Stéphanie nous a fait profiter des légumes et herbes de son jardin et plein d’autres attentions charmantes dans la maison et le frigo !! C’est un endroit so charming 🌻😉 Nous avons aussi profité de nuits étoilées incroyables Une vraie belle pause en dehors du temps
What a gem of a place! The cottage and the surroundings are absolutely beautiful. Steph and Dave have made this place so homely and we had the most wonderful 9 days with our 6 month old son. Lovely little touches like food left to make a dinner and first breakfast, a bottle of wine in the fridge, Steph leaving us some fresh figs from their garden. Just an amazing place to stay. We spent the days in the pool and around the pool house, and it was so relaxing. Steph and Dave are always available if you need them but are so discreet otherwise. You wouldn't even know they were there! We will definitely be back
A car is essential to get around and the roads are very good. It is also ideal for cycling. Public Transport is minimal, there is a train station at Montmoreau, but the service is infrequent. There is a larger station at Angouleme (30 mins) from where you can travel to Bordeaux or even Paris on the TGV
