Outside
The large enclosed gardens are a safe haven for young children to play in. Honeysuckle, clematis, wisteria, grape vines, figs, lemons and kiwi fruits adorn every corner, and the covered terrace with its summer kitchen and stone-built barbecue enables you to dine together and watch the sun set over the horizon, whatever the weather. The pool table is to be found in the wine press outbuilding, attached to the west terrace and the table tennis table is normally positioned on the breakfast east terrace. There are woods and walks straight from the farmhouse, and even the ultimate fresh eggs for breakfast, from the free-range resident chicken population. La Crabouille makes for an ideal setting to relax and unwind.
The gorgeous 10m x 5m mosaic-lined floodlit swimming pool is south-facing and has integral steps for easy access. The pool is separately fenced and lockable for the safety of young children. Sun loungers, garden tables available around the pool.
AlthoughLa Crabouille is quiet and secluded, it is close to all the expected Dordogne attractions. There are medieval villages to explore, bustling, colourful markets and vineyards to visit where you can taste the local wines. (Such as Montbazilac, Percharment, St Emillion).
You could wander around the historic market towns of Bergerac, Sarlat and Périgueux, and enjoy lunch at restaurants, serving the famous gastronomic delights that this area is renowned for. Travel back in time visiting châteaux, historic fortified towns, caves and grottos, or simply relax and enjoy the French way of life!
If you are feeling adventurous, La Crabouille is also just 2 hour’s drive from the beautiful stretches of pale sandy beaches on the west coast, and 2 hours from fondues, skiing and snowboarding in the Massif Centrale mountains.
Nearby there is horse riding, golf, fishing, canoeing as well as swimming lakes with beaches and waterslides. At the farmhouse there is a table tennis and pool table, boules, badminton, swings and plenty of board games to keep the whole family happy.
