Imagine endless walks though oak shaded forests, serenaded by the gentle sounds of burbling water and clear spring fed streams. Pause to rest for a while in a pine scented clearing lulled by the sweet sound of birdsong and the hum of busy bees.

Too idyllic to be true?

How about a gentle bicycle ride down past the Chateau, alongside the lake and up to the village boulangerie. Returning with oven warm croissants to dunk in fresh brewed coffee whilst watching irridescent kingfishers flash over mirror still water.

Too strenuous?

A short car ride perhaps, on quiet roads winding through the green rolling countryside to visit a 12th century abbey. To wander through the beautiful gardens and down the narrow streets, admiring the ancient architecture, the delightful art galleries, or stopping at the fresh produce stalls before picking one of the terrace restaurants overlooking the trout filled river of the Dronne.

Still too energetic?

Then try taking a seat under the shade of an oak tree and chancing your skill with the wily golden carp that grow contendedly fat and numerous in the seven acre lake that has been their ancestral home for 700 years.

It's hard to choose between them, isn't it? Well, no need, because we offer it all and more. Brenda and Neil can give you a taste of the Perigord Vert at our 13th century mill, whether it be in the en suite bedrooms in the mill barn or on our luxury narrowboat on the lake.
