Vacation Rental Description
Maison de la Famille comprises three attractive and comfortable gîtes, situated in a private location within the village of Saint-Priest-les-Fougeres. We are in the picturesque Perigord Vert, within the beautiful, ever popular Dordogne.
Coachman's Cottage is ideal for a couple or a family with a small child - a cot is available on request.
We hope you'll be entranced by the thought of a delightful holiday in this region and we'll do our utmost to ensure your holiday is a happy and memorable experience in this most picturesque region of France.
We specialise in providing self-catering holidays in our three gîtes. We pride ourselves on the high standard of our cottages and are continually upgrading them to provide our clients with the highest quality of accommodation in our class. We also offer chambre d'hote bed and breakfast accommodation by special arrangement.
Maison de la Famille is in the centre of an attractive French village, situated within the Perigord-Limousin Natural Regional Park and is a beautiful old property consisting of the main house, three self-contained gîtes (each with their own patio areas), a large walled garden with a swimming pool and a barn used as a games area.
Saint-Priest-les-Fougères nestles in the foothills of the Massif Central in the north of the Dordogne, just off the N21 at la Coquille between Périgueux and Limoges.
Here one can enjoy a peaceful and relaxed holiday and also take in many of the areas' attractions. There are numerous Chateaux, an abundance of prehistoric caves, lakes, markets etc. Also, for those wishing to take a slightly longer trip - Futuroscope at Poitiers, La Rochelle on the west coast, and the Distilleries at Cognac are all well worth visiting. The village itself contains a Boulangerie, Post office and a bar. Restaurants, bars, supermarkets, shops and so on are just 3 kilometres away at la Coquille. Larger shopping areas are to be found at Thiviers, Périgueux and Limoges.
Maison de la Famille is a typically styled character Perigordian residence of a well-to-do country family. The exact age is unclear but it is certainly over two hundred years old. Originally owned by the wealthy Breton family, members of whom still live in the region, it is easy to envisage it as it was, when coaches, stabling and a host of servants were all housed and working in the grounds.
The accommodation has been sympathetically renovated and modernised, with especial care being taken to maintain the character and charm of the buildings, ensuring our guests enjoy a high degree of comfort in these most pleasant of surroundings.
Our games area houses a high-quality all-weather table tennis table, a small table football game and a combination pool, snooker, billiards, skittles, table hockey, chess, backgammon, shuffle board and table football system. We also have a quality croquet set and numerous children's toys that are freely available to our guests.
