The Maison du Pain is estimated to be at least 150-years old and after a comprehensive refurbishment now consists of five bedrooms and three modern bathrooms. The well-appointed kitchen and dining area complement a large outside BBQ and dining terrace that is partially covered from sun and rain. It is here that the original bread oven is located - a weekly firing of which once provided the bread quotidian for the farm’s family and workers.
The modern kitchen with large breakfast bar / island provides a wonderful area for those who like to cook and incorporates a large double-oven range cooker with five ring ceramic hob. An integrated dishwasher makes for an easier life, as does the modern charcoal BBQ located on the adjacent private terrace that should encourage everyone to get involved in meal preparation!
The bedroom facilities range from a large en-suite with its own quiet ground level terrace, through a spacious timber-framed room with private balcony to a cosy loft room with exposed beams, so there is ample space for up to ten or more adults and children. The property also enjoys central heating for the comfort of low-season clients.
The three modern bathrooms provide either bath facilities (for a romantic soak) or invigorating power showers to follow your day’s activities, and should you be unlucky with the odd day of rain there is a flat screen TV together with a good selection of DVD’s. Wireless internet is available throughout the site. That said, for the puritans amongst you there are also lots of books and games to be enjoyed and there is a piano in the lounge area ready for a singalong if you have a musician within your party.
During your stay you will also enjoy exclusive use of the 12m x 6m heated pool, with roman steps at one end to facilitate easy assess. Pool depth varies from 1m to 1.5m and it is fully enclosed by a norm-compliant security fence with child-proof gated access for peace of mind. An automated pool cover was installed in 2022 to further enhance safety and maintain comfortable pool temperatures. There is a pantiled abri (shelter) within this large area that is fitted out with a summer kitchen (with hot & cold running water) to allow for the preparation and cooking of meals using a top-of-the-range Weber gas BBQ with side burner. The large modern fridge can be used for food storage and the chilling of those refreshing drinks, whilst the kitchen is fully equipped with cooking utensils and unbreakable serving ware. This leisure area also sports a table tennis table and other games facilities and there are plenty of chairs and loungers for sun-worshipers alongside shady nooks for the more sensitive of skin. The hot shower, toilet and beautiful aspect may well result in most of your time being spent in this well-appointed area....
A couple of bikes are also available, subject to a polite request to the owners.
The nearby village of Rouffignac-Saint-Cernin-de-Reilhac has an interesting history and via a short drive (or pleasant walk) can provide everything from your daily baguette to your weekly shop. Facilities include a popular boulangerie specialising in exquisite pastries, an excellent butcher and a small Proxi supermarket, together with a larger Carrefour supermarche complete with petrol station and car wash. Two popular hotels offer complete menus alongside three or four additional bar-restaurants all within walking distance. Several others provide a pleasant distraction at a very short remove and a busy Sunday market is held throughout the year. At the height of season this lively market is unmissable, providing a wide range of fresh food, local delicacies and interesting vendeurs, and in July and August this same market square hosts a Wednesday nuit marche where stallholders sell local speciality dishes and wine that can be consumed on the tables provided, whilst enjoying some free entertainment. To finish the season our annual fete is a spectacular affair, culminating in a ‘grand feu d’artifice’ (firework display), although for more simple pleasures Rouffignac provides some pleasant walks, a beautiful old church and some great viewing points as you wander around.
And to top it all, just five minutes away is our famous grotte (‘cave of a hundred mammoths’) that is part of one of the most extensive underground systems in the region. A subterranean train takes you over 2kms into these caves which are listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage site due to the many prehistoric paintings to be found there.
Further afield:
The nearby towns of Le Bugue, Montignac and regional capital Perigueux offer comprehensive shopping and tourist attractions, whilst world-famous Bergerac and the beautiful medieval town of Sarlat are accessible within an enjoyable hour’s drive. Whilst offering many spectacular attractions, the wonderful Dordogne valley can be easily matched by the prehistoric Vezere river valley that holds claim to 30,000 years of continuous human habitation (the longest anywhere in the world). The two rivers converge at nearby Limeuil - yet another lovely place to visit - and given the volume of visitors to the region even the local French (sometimes renowned for their laid-back attitude to commerce) have found many opportunities to respond with fine restaurants, markets, theme parks and activity pursuits. So whether your interests lie in natural or cultivated gardens, shopping, golf, river pursuits, ancient sites, churches, food (and drink) or even hot air ballooning, you are coming to the right place.
