About this property
Four-star tranquil retreat - perfect for a driving holiday in the Perigord Vert
Our four-star gîte offers outstanding quality accommodation, along with specialist facilities for people taking a driving holiday in France.
Perfect for driving/motorbike enthusiasts, with a unique offer not found elsewhere, we provide safe private parking with CCTV for two cars, under cover parking for motorbikes, cleaning equipment, tools, an interactive tourist map with tried and tested directions to all of the main local tourist spots, and ready made printed local driving routes.
Situated off the Route Nationale (N21) between Limoges and Perigueux along a no-through road, guests benefit from a quiet rural setting while being easily accessible. There is limited passing traffic and the only noise you generally hear is the birds. A private decking and garden area offers space for outside relaxation and dining, with a dining table/chairs and sun loungers, enabling guests to make the most of the superb views across the valley. A perfect spot to relax, unwind and enjoy the peace and tranquillity.
Our local village, La Coquille, has a bakers, butcher, supermarket, pharmacy and other shops as well as a couple of restaurants, and is just a 15 minute stroll away. It is on the main trainline between Limoges and Perigueux which can take guests to Bordeaux in around two and a half hours. The town of Thiviers is a short drive away and has a superb weekly market as well as lots of community activities. There is plenty of history in the area such as the nearby town of Châlus with its links to Richard the Lionheart, and the sobering Oradour-sur-Glane World War II memorial which we would highly recommend to all visitors. In addition to the superb drives available around our local roads, there are swimming lakes, caves, historic buildings and châteaux to keep guests busy.

About the host
Hosted by Stephen Barlow
We are driving/classic car enthusiasts who wanted to bring a bit of driving heaven to likeminded people. We wanted to create a place that provides all of the things we look for in a driving holiday - and we're a tough crowd to please!
Why they chose this property
In planning our own holidays we have spent hours and hours scouring the internet to try and find accommodation where our cars would be safe, we could look after them, fix them if necessary, and generally enjoy driving. In our part of Perigord Vert we have the roads (mostly empty out of the summer season and of generally good quality), the scenery (with hills and valleys, trees and green space), lovely places to visit (Brantome, Grotte de Villar, Oradour-sur-Glane) and car-related events an easy drive away (Angouleme, Limoges, Circuit de Faveyrol, Circuit Val de Vienne).
What makes this property unique
The driving roads around our area are excellent - great twists, turns, elevation changes, cambers (along with rather large drops on occasion). Once you've driven them once you'll keep going back for more. Our driving friends always return with a grin from ear to ear!
