Vacation Rental Description
We specialise in providing luxury 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.
Rentals start from as little as 450€ (£325) per week and we are open throughout the year.
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 facilities are to be found at Thiviers, Périgueux and Limoges.
Maison de la Famille is a typically styled 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 gîtes (Stable Cottage, Barn Cottage and Coachman's Cottage) have all 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 swimming pool is extremely popular with all our guests and is often the focal point of the whole holiday.
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.

The Dordogne is a beautiful and historic part of France to holiday in. Richard the Lionheart fought his last battle hust a few miles away from Maison de la Famille, there are numerous rivers (and hence, river-based activities) around and of course, there is an abundance of wine to sample, buy and drink.
Children are especially welcome here, with adventure parks and zoos nearby. but we also provide a charming holiday location for couples who want a quieter holiday.
