Things to do and Local Attractions
 
If you ever need a change of scenery  after relaxing on your patio (eating and drinking can be so wearing) or after taking a cooling dip in the pool; or placing a deck chair under the willow by the lake, you may feel the need to explore!

We have cycle hire for the energetic and there are miles and miles of beautiful tracks known as chemins. As we are in the heart of farming country you may meet the occasional tractor, or perhaps a couple of deer. You may decide to cycle to the village for lunch. There are plenty of options.

If you like horse riding there are stables locally, or maybe you would just like to make friends with some of our own horses.
 
Day tickets may be available if you are booked with a non fishing party (for experienced anglers please)
 
We are pleased to help and advise when planning, please contact us HERE for additional information on the surrounding area.

Jumilhac Le Grande - A stunning chateau with breathtaking views, Why not enjoy a drink in the square next to the fountain? Don’t forget your camera!

Villars - Grotte de Villars, prehistoric caves, full of stalagmites, stalactites and cave paintings. Definitely not to be missed. Café and shop on site - 
www.grotte-villars.com

Nontron - Pretty town, famed for making all sorts of knives. Quaint and picturesque.

Brantome - Super riverside restaurants, as the guide books put it. “Charmingly draped along both banks of the river Dronne” Brantome Abbey was founded in 769, and rebuilt in the 16th century, Riverboat tours are an excellent idea and the brave can hire a canoe!
 
Drive along the riverbank to Boourdeilles (about 15 mins) and be stunned by the cliffs and caves. Perhaps take a look round the chateau, whatever your choice, you won’t be disappointed in what this beautiful area has to offer.
