Vacation Rental Description
Mike and Sylvia Johnson would like to welcome you to Hen House cottage where you will always be able to relax and unwind in peace and tranquility whilst having free access to our grounds and swimming pool. We have a 9m x 6m swimming pool which guests share with ourselves and the guests in our other, four person cottage, (see Corn Corner - property number 16065). 
 
Guests are welcome to wander in our 1.3 hectares provided they respect the privacy of ourselves and any other guests. There is a small pond where, in springtime, you might catch sight of nesting moorhens, if you’re quiet. 
 
Hen House cottage is situated about 20 miles south of the Dordogne river and Bergerac, in quiet countryside about one and a half miles from Villeréal. 
 
Villeréal has all amenities including boulangerie, patisserie, charcuteries and two supermarkets supplying all everyday needs, as well as an excellent Saturday morning market throughout the year and a Wednesday market during summer. There are even three estate agents if you are property hunting. 
 
In Villeréal and the surrounding area you will be able to sample local food and wines in a varied selection of restaurants, discover Lot et Garonne's beautiful countryside and interesting chateaux or stroll through a market a day. This all within a few kilometres of our pretty spot of heaven. 
 
Hen House is in the grounds of our house, but detached from it. It is a single storey cottage with modern style furnishings and tiled floors throughout. 
 
The safety fencing seen in the photograph of the pool conforms to the current legal requirements. 
 
Your PETS are welcome to a holiday as well, but PLEASE CONSULT BEFORE booking.

    We've been meaning to come to the Hen House for many years now and have not been disappointed.
    As others have said, it's superbly equipped. The garden gives ample shade for reading and the pool was our particular delight.
    The sunflowers were in all their glory while we were here and inspired Nick to break out the watercolours to paint some personal souvenirs.
    Thanks for the welcoming wine and flowers, and thank you most of all for sharing this lovely part of France with us.
