Beautiful farmhouse, private 12x6m pool
About
La Roche nestles in the beautiful countryside of the southern Dordogne, between Bergerac and the exquisite medieval bastide of Eymet. The 1-acre garden contains a 12x6m private pool with diving depth. A further 9 acres belongs to the house, and there are open fields beyond. The white stone farmhouse dates from about 1860 and has been sympathetically and tastefully restored to a luxury level, whilst retaining exposed beams and stonework and other traditional features. Downstairs: Entrance hall with view to upper level; Kitchen with hand-crafted limed oak units, hob, oven, microwave, fridge/freezer & dishwasher; Lounge; 3rd Bedroom; Utility area, with toilet, washing machine & tumble dryer; Bathroom with basin, corner bath & shower. Upstairs: Gallery overlooking hall; two Bedrooms with a/c and en suite bathrooms, second Lounge also with a/c. Garden: Superb views over rolling countryside; Tables & chairs to front & rear of house; BBQ; table tennis; children’s swing & slide. Security: As ours is a very rural location, we have security cameras around the outside of the house in case of a problem such as a break-in. We follow the Vrbo policy on this, and have made sure that the camera at the rear of the house doesn't cover any part of the pool area. Travel - Flying: Ryanair and British Airways serve Bergerac (just 10 miles away) from various airports around the UK. Both airlines also fly to other airports in south-west France. There are several car hire companies at Bergerac airport. Travel - Driving: The journey can be done in a day from Calais, Boulogne or other ports, or you might have a more leisurely start to your holiday with an overnight stop, perhaps on the Loire - we can give you details of places we've stayed in, if you wish. We'll include full driving instructions with our booking confirmation letter. Climate: The area has a temperate climate, and usually enjoys relatively mild winters with long spring and autumn seasons. The summers here can be very hot - ideal for sun lovers.
