Surrounded by the rolling, verdant countryside of the Bouriane and with views to tree-lined hilltops, this charming detached stone barn offers spacious accommodation of a good standard. Skilfully renovated with original, exposed oak beams and furnished with care, the barn has its own independent lawned garden area with furnished terrace and barbecue, ideal for enjoying the sunshine and alfresco meals; a welcome retreat after visiting the sites in the area. Of particular interest nearby are the beautiful caves of the Grottes de Cougnac, offering stunning natural formations and prehistoric cave paintings. In the town of Gourdon mediaeval and renaissance buildings are worth visiting, while the Dordogne river offers more active pursuits. The discreet owners, a couple living across the courtyard, invite guests to make use of their extensive, well-maintained grounds for walks, etc.
