DETAILS and PICTURES
The farmhouse cottage Les Chênes (The Oaks) can accommodate from 2 to 8 people : it has 3 bedrooms, each with en-suite bathroom. Situated in the countryside near Eymet in the south of the department of the Dordogne, in a hamlet of just 3 houses called Lauzanac.
The farmhouse cottage Les Chênes is open all year round for short breaks, by the week or even for a month or more out of season.
In the past, this cottage was a wine storehouse. We have restored and converted it in the authentic style of the region and added a private, secure pool. Its name comes from the oaks just beyond the garden. This cottage is an ideal place for holidays with family or friends, maybe if you are in the area for business purposes, far from noise and pollution.

The garden
The double level enclosed garden is about 1200m². On the first level, leading to the front door, is a covered terrace with table and chairs, conveniently close to the barbecue. Up a few steps is the second level, a large green space with a swing for children. To the right of this second garden area is the swimming pool (8m x 4m), both private and securely fenced. Under the pool-house, as well as a shower room with toilet and basin, is a ping-pong table and some sun loungers for lazing by the pool.

Ground floor
Don’t be taken in by the seemingly small front of the house – actually, it is a bit of a tardis, much bigger than it looks! The farmhouse cottage Les Chênes is a comfortable and modern house with an authentic old style incorporating the old roof beams and leaving some of the stone walls showing and enhancing the character of the building. The main room has kept all the height of the wine storehouse and offers a large space with a huge fireplace. A fine wrought-iron staircase made by the owner, Thierry, leads up to the bedrooms.
The front door opens onto a large and handsome open plan room. The huge dining table is big enough for 10 and the sitting area is in front of the fireplace with its wood-burning stove – you can open the doors to enjoy the flames. The kitchen is really well equipped with:

- microwave
- hob
- oven
