Home description

Soulou is a detached period property perched peacefully overlooking the River Lot in a particularly attractive and unspoilt section of this spectacular valley.

The cottage is comfortably furnished and has a well equipped kitchen.

The 6 metre oval swimming pool is built into the rock in a very sheltered position and has a small decking area for sun bathing.

There are several terraces at differing levels to make full use of the sunny position. A barbecue and garden furniture are provided for al fresco meals.

The area around the property abounds with wildlife. Red kite nest just across the river and deer and even wild pigs have been seen in the vicinity of the cottage, also red squirrels. The grounds extend to about 25 acres behind the property and make fascinating exploration. There is a garage at road level, plus parking for a second car.

Many of our visitors return regularly here for the cosiness and position of this valley side retreat.
