INSIDE

Our farmhouse is a classic honey-toned Dordogne stone building, renovated with care and attention to ensure a beautifully decorated interior with a contemporary French feel.

The huge open plan sitting room and dining space, with a high exposed beamed ceiling, has two comfy sofas positioned in front of the fabulous ancient fireplace with a wood burner.

Family evenings, or taking a break from the French sunshine, are easy with the children helping themselves from the dresser full of toys and books or snuggling up to play a game .

French windows look out over a terrace and the huge back garden leading onto the beautiful pigeonnier with fruit trees , garden , fields and woodlands.

The large dining table has plenty of space for all the family to enjoy meals together.

Whether it’s preparing a simple breakfast or rustling up a French feast, cooking in the bright and airy kitchen is a pleasure - and there's plenty of room for the whole family to get involved, it's equipped with all the usual mod cons including an oven/hob, fridge freezer, ice maker , cold water dispenser, dishwasher and microwave.

A kitchen table with stools is perfect for snack time.

And there's no need to take all your laundry home with you as there is also a washing machine, neatly tucked away in a cupboard under the stairs.

Also on the ground floor is a delightful double bedroom, with a king-size bed, designed to ensure a good night's rest or relaxing afternoon nap.

This bedroom is perfect for anyone who might like some space and privacy, or may find negotiating the stairs difficult.

A modern bathroom with toilet, bath and separate walk in shower is accessed directly from this bedroom and the kitchen.

Upstairs, with child safety gates at the top and bottom, are two bedrooms on the first floor . The landing and bedrooms have sloping ceilings and beautiful exposed beams.

The stylish master bedroom, with feature oak beamed, has a king-size bed, separate dressing room and en suite shower room. There is a cot in this room too.

A twin room, with an en suite shower room, is a lovely children's bedroom and also has a cot.

OUTSIDE

The private rear terrace is the perfect place to enjoy adult time in the evening when the children are in bed and it's position takes full advantage of the wonderful evening sunshine.

The private front terrace overlooks the tree-shaded courtyard, furnished with a table, chairs and barbecue, where there is a swings and slide set for smaller children.

At the far end of the courtyard is the fully-enclosed 12m x 6m salt-water, heated swimming pool, with Roman steps for easy access, enclosed by fencing and a self-locking gate.

Poolside shade is provided by a covered veranda and there are plenty of sun loungers for relaxing.

Beside the pool is a large, netted trampoline and, a little further up a gentle slope towards the woods, sits a second very large timber play set for older children.

Designed by British company Treetops, the play houses, swing, slide, climbing wall and climbing net are sure to be a magnet for older children and provide hours of creative play.

There is a good view of the play equipment from the pool area, allowing grown-ups to enjoy some quiet time while the little ones play to their hearts' content.

The farm also has plenty of friendly animals to see and stroke, from goats to cows, guinea-pigs, chickens and runner ducks . Collecting the free range eggs is a highlight for adults and children alike .

Super gite in beautiful surroundings - idyllic family holiday!

The gite at Rigal is beautifully appointed with everything you could need for a family holiday. The garden and surrounding area is great fun for little (and big!) people with a pool, climbing frame, trampoline and other outdoor toys. Feeding the animals each day with Jacqui and Chris was an absolute highlight for us all. Jacqui & Chris are so welcoming and thoughtful, we really enjoyed seeing them and chatting about living in France! We only left the gite on a couple of days but there are numerous places to visit locally and some amazing views to be had.

Wonderful Spring break at Rigal

We booked Rigal for a week and ended up staying for a month! This is a beautiful property, a comfortable home, and a lovely corner of France. But the real charm of Rigal is in its very warm vibe, thanks to hosts Chris and Jacky, and to the myriad animals on the property that add an unexpected dimension to a stay there. We hope to be back soon.

Un petit coin de paradis paisible

Isolée au milieu d'une campagne verdoyante et valonnée, cette maison ancienne, parfaitement restaurée, vaste et adaptée à tous types de voyageurs (enfants en bas âges, ados, familles, groupes d'amis...) a répondu à toutes nos attentes et même au delà. En plus de la compagnie des animaux (il s'agit d'une petite ferme), nous avons pu pleinement profiter des parcours de randonnées très nombreux et très bien balisés dans les communes avoisinantes. Les propriétaires, qui vivent dans la ferme, ont été très discrets tout en répondant efficacement à nos requètes. Expérience à renouveler, lorsque les beaux jours seront là, pour profiter aussi de la pisicine en plein air.
