Luxury 18th Century Dordogne Cottage with Private Pool

Hill Top House is a beautiful French stone farmhouse boasting its own private pool and gardens. It is located at the heart of the Perigord Noir, ideal for exploring all the sites that the Dordogne has to offer.
The property is situated in a secluded tranquil location in grounds of a little over one acre on the small hill top above the village of Coux et Bigaroque-Mouzens. The village is a pleasant 15 minute walk via a small country lane where you will find a boulangerie, cave and a cooperative providing produce from local suppliers.

The spacious open plan kitchen and dining room has oak parquet flooring and oak beams throughout. There is a large fireplace fitted with an efficient wood burning stove to add a cosy touch with a small bergere style couch and fireside chair. There is also an Essex Steinway piano which may be used with care.

The lounge and hallway continue with the oak parquet and oak beams. The lounge is light and spacious, has two large comfortable sofas, a flat screen TV (new 2016), and period furnishings.

Upstairs, there are three spacious bedrooms; the master bedroom with a king-size bed having an en-suite shower room with toilet and washbasin, and a separate dressing room. The other two bedrooms share a large family bathroom with a large shower and separate bath. Bed linens are of fine Egyptian cotton and the bathrooms are supplied with luxury towels.
There is free wi-fi access throughout the property.

The property is heated by an ecological ground source heat pump that supplies hot water to the underfloor heating for the ground floor and to the radiators upstairs in the bedrooms and bathrooms.

Outside there are a number of dining and seating options; there is a sheltered patio next to the house with a small round dining table and chairs and a garden bench; a larger dining table and chairs is situated under a pergola set next to the garage protected by a south facing wall where there is also a second garden bench; and next to the swimming pool there is a terraced area where the sun loungers and other garden chairs can be placed as well as positions for sun shades.

The rectangular swimming pool (10m x 5m) has roman style half round walk in steps and is flat bottomed making it ideal for children and adults alike. There is a further step mid length of the pool taking the depth from 1.3 to 1.5 metres.

The mature garden is generally flat and is ideal for children to run around and play. There is a large trampoline available as well as a badminton net and equipment and a ping pong table is set up under the hanger next to the garage.
During your stay at this cottage, you'll be close to Golf de la Forge. Free WiFi in public areas, a water park and laundry facilities are available. The cottage offers free WiFi and a private pool.

Perfect stay, clean comfortable house and great location

Hill Top House was perfect - when we pulled up to the property we were delighted and that continued as we explored. Fully and beautifully furnished, we wanted for nothing. Pool, garden, house all exceptional, comfortable beds and Ian and Heather communicated brilliantly throughout. We loved our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. Thank you!

Stunning villa in great location

Had a wonderful week. Very well equipped villa, both inside and in the garden - plenty to keep the children happy. Pool was wonderful especially with the very hot weather. Beautiful location, very peaceful but close to lots of river beaches where we enjoyed swimming and kayaking. Thank you.

Stunning Gite! Rustic with modern touches!!

We loved our stay at Hill Top house! It was so private! We stayed there for a week at the beginning of July 2019. The weather was perfect around 30 Degrees Celsius every day! We spent most of the daytime soaking up the sun around the amazing pool, in the sun loungers. We ate outside every evening flitting between the sitting areas provide. We flew into Bergerac and hired a car. The journey to the house was approximately 45 minutes. We stopped off at a large InterMarche to get supplies, however there is 2 medium sized Carrefours within a 10 minute drive from the house. We visited Sarlet, Beynec and Bergerac on the cooler days, I would highly recommend Kayaking around Beynec as you get amazing views of the Chateau. We will be back!

A real home for an extended stay.

We rented the main house for three and a half months. The location was ideal being close to all the major tourist attractions and places of interest we know well. It was within walking distance of shops which is useful and there were walks for our dogs from the doorstep. The house was very attractive, spacious and well equipped with the excellent heating system worthy of particular note given the season of the year with temperatures dropping well below freezing. We considered ourselves very lucky to have found such a great rental for our long stay in the area.

Beautiful setting. Well equiped. First class accomodation.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 14 day stay in Hilltop house. We stayed with our Two adult children and their partners and could not fault the facilities. Unfortunately we were broken into during our stay and had electronic equipment stolen but we didn't allow this to affect our enjoyment. It is a remote property making it all the more inviting and if you take the time to ensure you don't leave yourselves open to break a in I would thoroughly recommend this property.

Lovely, tranquil and comfortable place to stay.

The photos do full justice to the property which is in a lovely peaceful location. The property was very well equipped and locals were on hand if there were any difficulties or queries. Even on days when whether was not so good, it was very comfortable just relaxing in the cottage. The kitchen is great and much larger than in most cottages and there is a TV with BBC channels. The cottage is also very near some of the best and most picturesque villages in the Dordogne so there really is plenty to do if you want to do things, but when the weather is good, it was great just to sit by the pool. It really is a beautiful area and there are great restaurants around. We did not have any bad meals. The owner was very responsive with his replies to emails and we would highly recommend the property to anyone.

Peut mieux faire

Nous avons été charmés par l environnement calme et isolé de cette maison. Pas de bruit, pas de voisin et une belle vue sur la campagne. La maison est très jolie, la balançoire et le trampoline sont des atouts pour les enfants. En revanche nous n avons pas eu de chance car la machine a laver était cassée et l eau de la piscine était toute verte et trouble à notre arrivée. Les problèmes ont été résolus le mercredi (arrivée le samedi) donc bof bof... Piscine non chauffée alors que le contraire était indiqué sur l annonce. Le ménage etait lui aussi approximatif (poussière, toiles d araignée, mouches mortes sur le rebord des fenêtrés, frigidaire sale, bouilloire tellement calcaire qu’ inutilisable ...) 2 des 4 parasols étaient cassés, les chaises longues étaient presque toutes déchirées et la seule utilisable en bois n avait pas de matelas donc gros manque de confort autour de la piscine pour le prix. Quel dommage !!! En résumé gros potentiel mais manque d entretien et de professionnalisme !

Excellent séjour

Nous avons trouvé dans cette propriété ce que nous étions venus chercher: confort et calme. La maison est très bien aménagée et le jardin immense. La piscine est parfaite pour nager et ses abords idéaux pour bronzer et se reposer. Beaucoup de charme se dégage de ce lieu.
