Le Cottage is one of the gites comprising la Fermette des Hiboux.
In July and August priority is given to the rental of the whole unit. In low and mid season, you can let out Le Cottage or la Grange (ref 230) or La Petite Maison gite with full exclusivity of the pool and garden (means we don't let out the second gite to anybody else)
Situated in the small hamlet of Le Pech, this traditional holiday cottage is in a very tranquil, relaxing location with hot air balloons regularly drifting overhead and the sight of the River Dordogne meandering below. However, we are not stuck in the middle of nowhere, there is a footpath leading down to the beautiful village of Beynac, just a five minute walk away - perfect for lunch, dinner or even a trip out for some baguettes or ice cream.
We are within 15 minutes of 5 beautiful chateaux - Beynac, Castelnaud, Marqueyssac, Milandes and Fayrac - as well as countless beautiful market towns, such as Sarlat and Domme. The area is also renowned for its spectacular caves, including Lascaux, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. For the more active, the area is great for cycling, walking, canoeing, horse riding, hot air ballooning and tennis.
