La Ferme du Fournil - Self-catering in Dordogne
Bois Beni, 24170 Siorac en Périgord, Dordogne
Aquitaine,
France
Up a country lane, with acres of woodland, gardens and stunning valley views, is a delicious tobacco farmhouse and a colourful cottage. The British owners have restored both with artistic flair, adding modern day comforts yet retaining the old spirit. The split-level main house has a magnificent veranda for breakfast and an aperitif arbour. Inside, find a big, friendly kitchen/sitting room at its heart: new white units and old Welsh dressers, rugs on granite floors, squashy red sofas, a chandelier in the rafters, an open fire stacked with logs. There are four bedrooms with polished mahogany beds, charming patchwork quilts, old beams and two bathrooms (one at the bottom of a stair); soft toys and books in the mezzanine room keep children happy and there are fans for warm nights. The cottage has its own garden shaded by wild plum trees. Inside, it’s tiny yet vibrant with brocante finds, heaps of art and all you need for a cosy stay: sitting room, quirky kitchen, fresh shower room and open stairs to the mezzanine bedroom; mind your head! History and beauty are close: Les Eysies, Monpazier, Sarlat, Domme. Return to barbecues, an abundance of wild flowers and a pristine pool.

Local points of interest from Stephen Taylor:
Points d'intérêt locaux proposés par
Stephen Taylor:
- Wonderful Bastide architecture in towns and villages nearby, including Baynac, Limeuil (reputed to be one of the most beautiful villages in France), Sarlat – spectacular buildings.
- Wonderfully colourful and vibrant local markets, details included in the house. Our favourites are Le Bugue, St Cyprien, La Bouisson and Sarlat.
- Dordogne river close by for canoeing trips - for the energetic, long distance trips can be organised but a bus ride upstream enables you to meander back downstream, stopping for a picnic on the way and admiring the stunning castles and villages on the way.
- Golf, Cycling, Tennis, Balloon Trips, Horse Riding, Fishing and other activities can be found nearby with details at the house, which you can organise yourself or through our local agent.
- There is usually a Brocante or Vide Grenier (empty loft) market somewhere in the region either during the week or most weekends and these are fantastic places for curios, bargains and something a little French to take home as a souvenir.
- Why not just treat yourself to a quiet day relaxing in the grounds, swimming in the pool or sitting by the pond watching the abundance of wildlife; if you're lucky you'll catch a glimpse of the deer as they wander through the large field beyond the pond.
