Relax at La Petite Maison gite in the Dordogne, France

This 200-year-old riverside cottage is nestled in the midst of sunflower fields and rolling hills.

Recently refurbished, modern appliances and new furnishings complement the many original features the building offers and create a comfortable space for up to 6 adults.

Appearances can be deceptive. Although the cottage looks small from the outside, inside it offers three bedrooms (two doubles and one twin), a large bathroom, comfortable lounge and a spacious dining kitchen.

There is a first floor veranda which provides a great view of the large garden and the fields beyond, and a small patio area – both are perfect for that pre-dinner aperitif and alfresco eating. Guests also have use of our riverside garden.

The cottage was renovated in 2017: a new kitchen and bathroom installed and most of the furniture, including the beds, was replaced.

Whether you want to keep things simple or cook up a five-course meal, the kitchen is well stocked with everything you need, including a cooker with a hob, grill and oven, fridge/freezer, kettle and toaster.
