Isolated tranquil woodland setting.

La Pierre Plantee is a bungalow style property nestled in woodland in the sleepy hamlet of Bazalgue. The house offers a tranquil private location with easy access to the local villages of Souillac and Martel only 7km distance. The house has accommodation for 8 persons with 4 bedrooms 2 bathrooms, and a large veranda, terrace, and natural garden for relaxing. You can enjoy the special ambiance or take a peaceful stroll into the woods along one of the many walking paths.

Interior
The house has a large new kitchen equipped with all kitchen facilities and opens through double doors directly onto the veranda. The open plan lounge/dining room has french TV, DVD/CD player, a selection of DVDs, free wi-fi, a large table and seating for 8, games & board games, and opens directly onto the garden. There are 2 double and 2 twin bedrooms, all with views of the woods, fitted wardrobes, and portable fans, and all have mosquito blinds for the windows. There are 2 shower rooms and an extra toilet.

Exterior
A large natural garden is surrounded by trees giving much privacy, and is perfect for observing birds and local wildlife. A covered veranda leads onto a large elevated terrace, which has child safety fencing and steps into the garden with a child safety gate (if requested), and table and seating for 8 and has shading and lighting and a gaz plancha. In the garden there is an above ground swimming pool size 6m x 4m with terrace and a picnic table to seat 8 persons. There are also sun lounges, hammocks, giant jenga, boules, swing ball, ping pong, and badminton can also be erected. The utility room houses the fridge freezer and washing machine. Out the front of the house is ample private parking for 4 cars and turning area, and exterior lighting on sensors.

Local area
We are on the border of 3 departments so there are numerous attractions to visit ranging from grottoes, chateaus, markets, and gardens, there are also many activities to take part in like canoeing, horse riding or walking and cycling of which there are some routes direct from the house. There is a local airport at Brive that has links direct to Stansted and Paris. We are only 10 mins from the A20 autoroute, giving the main link north or south.

Neighborhood
We are based in a rural farming community, there are various outlets to buy our local produce of walnut oils and fresh duck selections. We have a new local restaurant in Baladou only 2.5km called Madam were you can enjoy an evening meal made with local products or relax with a cool drink. The Dordogne river is only 15 mins away and has many beaches and so does Lac du Causse near Brive.

Additional.
No dogs or cats are allowed as the property does not have any fences, and we are on a walking route. Entry is via a key safe from 16.00. We aim to make our vacation house as safe and enjoyable as possible for our clients and their family and friends. There is no charge for cleaning, so please leave the property in the condition you found it, cleaning products and equipment are provided.

A wonderful, peaceful countryside cottage
We loved our stay at La Pierre Plantee. It was just what we’d hoped for - Quiet, relaxing and well equipped. Geraldine was an excellent host. Always helpful and knowledgeable. Despite the unusually hot weather, the garden offers plenty of shade and the pool is perfect for a cool off. The house is well located, and only a short drive from a variety of sights and activities. We’d recommend a swim and or kayak in the Dordogne river and a trip to Sarlat. To be honest, most of the time we were just happy to relax in the garden and watch the red squirrels - a real treat.

Nous avons passé une semaine au sein de la propriété, nous avons profité de la proximité de la rivière (20 min de la maison) des site touristique ( goufre de Padirac, rocamadour...). La maison proposait tout le confort nécessaire: piscine, terrasse ombragée, chambres spacieuses, deux salles de bains. L'emplacement était également très calme et isolé. Nous recommandons chaudement cette demeure et avons passé un très agréable séjour. Merci à la propriétaire pour toute ces attentions.

gezellige, praktische vakantiewoning voor acht personen in een mooie groene omgeving
Tof huis voor acht pers. met alle faciliteiten in een mooie groene omgeving en inplanting. De ontvangst door de gastvrouw en -heer was heel vriendelijk en waren klaar om "probleempjes" onmiddellijk op te lossen. Het was een leuk verblijf en een goede vakantie. Een aanrader.

Environnement reposant
Nous avons passé un bon séjour , la propriétaire est très sympathique, nous avons bien apprécié les confitures maison et le pain à notre arrivée. La propriété est très calme , le jardin est très agréable , ombragé et il y a des jeux prévu pour les enfants . Nous , adultes , avons pu profiter pour jouer au babington . Nous avons pu profiter de la terrasse pour tout les repas de la semaine . La propriété est très bien situé , même si il faut prendre la voiture pour aller faire les courses , cela ne nous a pas dérangé , les commerces se situent à 8 km environ . Il y a tant à visiter aux alentours que nous n'avons pas eu le temps de tout voir . Nous serions susceptible de revenir une autre fois .
