The Cottage - Nr Sarlat, rural cottage with stunning pool & view
Cottage with 2 Bedrooms, Sleeps 5, Garden, Swimming Pool
The cottage at La Ferme de la Tour is sunny and spacious with stunning views from every room and is immaculately presented. Set in 2 1/2 acres of park like gardens, the farm is an ensemble of beautiful old buildings dating back to the 16th century. La Ferme de La Tour , surrounded by magnificent countryside, a network of pretty footpaths and a neighbouring historical chateau, has been lovingly restored along with this spacious holiday cottage and large chlorine free pool.
The breathtaking valley views and surrounding grounds of woodlands and meadows will overwhelm you with a feeling of peace and tranquillity disturbed only by the abundance of wildlife and the occasional distant tractor. The pool, which is bathed in sunshine from dawn to dusk, is perfectly sited to maximise the views, enabling you to relax and admire the ever changing colours of the Dordogne valley. We welcome families and couples alike but sorry no pets. Friendly but un-intrusive owners live on site.
The cottage sleeps two to five people in comfort. The accommodation has been arranged so that whether you are sitting on the terrace, on the sofa in the lounge, at the dinning table or even in bed, you can take full advantage of the wonderful views.
The living area with a terracotta pammented floor, wood burner and exposed oak timbers has sumptuous sofas and chairs with throws and cushions which add to the cosy feel of the room. There are double French doors, through which the sun streams in, with valley views, and lead out on to your own south facing terrace with patio furniture and barbecue all under the mottled shade of an Indian Bean tree. The views from the terrace, across the garden and valley beyond, make this the perfect spot to relax and reflect on your day whilst enjoying the sunset.
The kitchen-diner with seating for six is luxuriously equipped and has exposed timbers and views over the neighbouring chateau and valley. The kitchen includes a dishwasher, washing machine, cooker, hob, extractor fan, fridge, freezer, nicrowave, toaster, etc etc. From the kitchen area wooden stairs lead to first floor landing with polished chestnut floors and gives acces to the two bedrooms and shower room.
Bedroom one has a double bed, polished chestnut floors, exposed stonework to the chimney brest and a picture window with magnificent valley views across mile upon mile of the Dordogne countryside.
Bedroom two has two single beds, with the option of a further single bed if required, polished chestnut floors and lovely views of the neighbouring historical chateau and the valley beyond..

Guestbook
"The stone cottage is well equipped and clean with everything one would need for a weeks stay. The beds are comfortable and the nightingales sang us to sleep at night. The shower is great! The overall feeling of the cottage is one of contentment.
Chris and Kate were very helpful with local restaurants and points of interest in the area, without being intrusive. An ideal location for seeing the sights and a welcome place to come "home to".
" - Roseanne and Bob, Sharon, Connecticut, USA
"The cottage is a delight. Set high up with long views over the Dordogne Valley. We used the cottage as a base for local exploring for which it is very well located. We're not in the first flush of youth but we enjoyed swimming in the lovely deep pool (where you don't stub your toe on the bottom doing the breast stroke). Our co-guests children were having a uninhibited free-range time and we enjoyed watching them and envying their energy. Full marks to Chris and Kate for their quiet attention to " - Bris, Dorset
"Wonderful hosts and lovely accommodations - super clean, comfortable, and spacious - await you at La Ferme de la Tour. The location is ideal for visiting many historic sights with incredible views.
We highly recommend this great getaway and hope to one day visit again ourselves!
" - Pete and Elisabeth, Skaneateles, New York, USA
"We had a fantastic stay here. The owners (Chris and Kate) were very welcoming and so accommodating of our 2 year old. They went out of their way to bring her extra toys, made sure we had everything we needed (baby bath etc) - and couldn't have done more to ensure our stay was more perfect. Nothing was a bother to them.
We had some minor problems with the satellite TV which they were on to and fixed straight away. I cannot recommend the Cottage enough.
The villa itself was lovely with all the" - The Coopers, Buckinghamshire
"Excellent facilities, had a great holiday with very hospitable hosts. Booked immediately again to go back this year. Beautiful location, lots to see and do in the area. Would recommend to anyone.
" - Jan and Steve, Rochester, Kent, UK
"What a fantastic location! We spent an idyllic two weeks here last summer. The accommodation was very comfortable and spacious and our hosts were always on hand to help if we needed them. We found a way into Sarlat which only took about 15 mins and avoided all the traffic - fantastic - we visited nearly every day! I would recommend a get away from it all break here and will definitely visit again. " - Jane Gray, Bradford, England
