The gite

Le Séchoir is named after its past use as a drying oven for prunes, which are still widely produced in the region; it also served as the farm bakery and oven. Standing near to the main farmhouse, Le Séchoir is a detached cottage which has two terraces and a private garden.

The south facing upper terrace (5.4m x 2.5m) opens onto the garden and has a table and chairs and a barbecue. Stairs lead down to larger terrace which enjoys views down the valley.

The living room

Although it appears small from the outside, on the inside it is anything but small. The Living and dining room is over 8 meters long and has French windows with views to the south and west. There is a flat screen TV and UK free-view television channels, a CD Player and Ipod docking station. There is wifi internet access and the whole of the house benefits from oil-fired central heating.

The kitchen

The Kitchen, which is directly off the dining area, is equipped to a very high standard, with a built-in electric oven and gas hob, dishwasher, fridge-freezer, microwave, toaster etc... The kitchen does have a low ceiling at one end, but there is reasonable headroom in the main food preparation areas.

The bedroom & bathroom

The bedroom is directly off the living room. It has a King size bed which can be converted to two singles on request (thank you to inform us 48h before your arrival); there is also a wardrobe, chest of drawers, dressing table and chair.

The Bathroom has a full sized bath plus a large walk in shower, in addition to the sink, bidet and toilet there is a large heated towel-rail/radiator, and a washing machine.

On a total surface of 75m², Le Sechoir, cosy and very well equipped, is the ideal place for excellent and restfull holidays for two.

The gite

This gite is built in a section of our old Perigourdine barn. It takes its name from the cattle stalls that were in use during the years that La Barrat was a working farm. Some of the old wooden stalls have now been incorporated into the walls and décor of La Crèche. The accommodation is fully self-contained with its own entrance, private terrace and garden area.

The Terrace is large, and equipped with sun loungers, parasol, dining table and chairs and a barbecue. Built round three sides of the gite there will always be some sun to be enjoyed - as long as it is shining!

There are views down the valley, where if you are lucky you may catch glimpses of local wildlife including the deer that graze on our land.

The living room

Le Crèche is a modern, well equipped, gite that retains the character of its origins. It has the warmth of traditional French materials combined with the convenience of modern equipment. There are doors onto the terrace from the kitchen and the living room.

The living area is large (11m x 4.5m). At one end is a spacious kitchen with modern fitted units, cooker, fridge, microwave, dishwasher and washing machine. The seating area has a 3 seater sofa bed, an armchair plus shelf and storage furniture. There is a UK TV/DVD inc. BBC and ITV and a CD player. As with all the La Barrat gites there is wifi access for those of you who can't bear to be without their e-mail.

For winter lets, and for those who rent off season there is electric central heating and the living room has a log-burning stove for those cold winter evenings.
