Description for B&B:
Sue and Dave Scales extend a warm welcome to their beautifully restored maison-de-maitre. Situated in a charming stone hamlet, the house overlooks a serene green valley, yet is conveniently located just a few minutes away from the vibrant village of St Jean-de-Côle, known for its bustling restaurants.For those seeking more historical attractions, the medieval town of Brantôme is also nearby and is considered one of the top destinations in the Dordogne.
With the Limoges airport less than an hour's drive away, connecting to various UK destinations, and Bergerac and Bordeaux airports within reach, accessing our location is a breeze. Car rental services are readily available from all these airports.
Our accommodation boasts a light and spacious interior, adorned with a mix of French and English antiques to create a charming country-house ambiance. Each of our two large bedrooms can comfortably accommodate up to four guests and features a private shower room and WC.
