Our family party of 6 adults enjoyed a great week staying in this converted mill in July. The hosts, Damian, and Brendon, live in the next-door house and were very helpful in offering advice about the property and the local area.
The mill and grounds are spacious, with plenty of choice of places to sit and relax or eat, depending on whether you are looking for shade or sun, and incredibly well-equipped. The double bedroom on the ground floor has its own kitchenette, which was great for morning tea in bed, undisturbed by the rest of the household. We all enjoyed the pool of course! There was plenty of room to store our own bikes under cover and the hosts provided a few of their own (with helmets) for guests to use for short journeys.
We appreciated the proximity of Saint-Alvere with its Tuesday market, boulangeries and grocery, and enjoyed drinks at the bar and restaurant. The village can be reached in a few minutes walk across fields, if you are happy to take a big step across a stream, or via the road if not. There is a well-kept tennis court en route, which can be booked at the village tabac. Further afield, the Dordogne River and its attractions are within easy reach by car.
We hope to return one day!
