Large luxury Self-Catering Manoir with private pool

Le Manoir, known locally as “le petit chateau,” is in the small hamlet of Doumailhac, nestling just a kilometre from the village of La Chapelle Montbrandiex, in the centre of the Périgord-Vert Natural Park.

Outside, the rear terrace offers views across the garden and adjoining countryside, a lovely outdoor space on which to dine/barbecue or enjoy a glass watching the sunsets. In the evening enjoy stargazing, the lack of light pollution means the Milky Way is often visible. Beyond the large rear garden is the walled/fenced pool with sun loungers.

The large heated salt water swimming pool, which is open in June, July, August and September-depending on the weather, provides the perfect place to relax. In the heat of the summer float on the pool with a cool drink and listen to the birds singing. There are sun loungers available to accommodate all the guests.

In the barn there is a table tennis table, badmington and darts, as well as a selection of bikes for guests to use, explore the area, discover the wildlife and birds or try your hand at fishing.

The Manor House has 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, while the adjoining Gite has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The Manor provides space for everyone to spend time together, whilst the three bedrooms in the Gite mean that perhaps the older generation has space to escape, should they wish. 

The beautiful modern Kitchen has its original bread oven and flagstone floor. It is also well equipped with a large range cooker, two dishwashers, large fridge freezer, large larder, microwave, etc. The large dining table is perfect for breakfast get togethers. The rear terrace, just outside the kitchen, has a large dining table for al fresco dining.

The Sitting room has comfortable sofas and armchairs for everyone, there is a television, dvd player and a Bose bluetooth speaker. A great space to make plans, relax and read, play games or watch a movie.

We have nine beautiful bedrooms, some are en-suite, some have shared bathrooms. The beds are all comfortable divans, mainly kingsize or twin/zip and link, which provide maximum flexibility for your family. We have a cot, a toddler bed and two travel cots, should they be needed. 

The Salt water Pool is fenced and secure for families with young children. It is 5 x 10 metres and is heated to 27 degrees. There are sun loungers for all the guests, as well as a number of pool inflatables. Lay back and listen to the birdsong.

Doumailhac is just a kilometre from La Chapelle Montbrandeix, a small village whose centre contains the Mairie, the church and luckily, a very good restaurant-Chez Jules.

La Chapelle Montbrandeix is centrally located in the Perigord Vert Natural Parc and is a perfect location for those wishing to escape from a busy life. The area is one of woods, lakes and rolling meadows. The bird life is amazing, the wild life is available to even the casual observer and the fishing abundant.

Walking and cycling are popular local activities. Our barn contains a table tennis table, badmington, darts and a selection of bikes for guests to use.

There is a popular weekly morning market at Piégut-Pluviers, which is about a twenty minute drive.
