Due to the nature of the site and the design over three floors the site is not suitable for people with mobility issues. The staircases have open treads, are not equipped with safety gates and there are internal and external balconies, therefore, any children under the age of 4 must be closely supervised at all times.

Externally there are terraced areas all around the property providing sunny and shaded sitting and dining areas to suit the time of day and weather. There is a large balcony off the living room kitchen and a smaller balcony above off the main bedroom corridor. A large sail can provide additional shade at the rear when required. The 10 x 5m swimming pool sits privately in the rear garden with paved terrace for the sunbeds with soft washable cushions. The pool has roman steps down to a 0.7m to 1m shallow end with a 2m deep for the swimmers.

For those looking for an active break there are many routes for walking and off road cycling in the immediate vicinity and the area generally. There are also plenty of good quality, safe quiet roads for road cycling but the terrain is not flat. Wildlife is abundant so keep and eye out for red squirrels, pine martens, deer, foxes, badgers, wild boar and all the spectacular birds.

Nearby we have two golf courses. Firstly, the 18 hole Golf International de La Preze which is incredibly challenging and also has a driving range and 18 hole Pitch and Putt course, around 10 minutes drive away. The second is the 9 hole Golf de Genet which is around a 20 minute drive. Also locally in July and August it is possible to hire canoes for trips of varying lengths along the Tardoire or further afield in the beautiful small town of Brantome, which is worth a visit at any time of year. There are plenty of other activities, such as fishing and horse riding, to be found locally and there are many beautiful, villages, towns and chateaux in the region. The area offers many regional gastronomic delights, including Michelin star restaurants, and the local market each Wednesday in Piegut is worth visiting.

The rural situation means at night there is no light pollution. The sky at night is absolutely spectacular on a clear night with the Milky Way wrapping across the sky. A telescope is available for more detailed observations. Also keep an ear and eye open for the bats , owls, badgers, wild boar and the dormice (loir) with their large eyes.
