Charm and comfort in an authentic Périgord farm completely renovated

This charming gite has been fully renovated. You will be delighted by the landscape and charm of this place. Le Meynicot is an authentic traditional farm offering all the comforts. It is ideally located in the heart of Périgord. Inside, it has been completely renovated combining charm and comfort. The property consists of a main building with 3 bedrooms, a dining room, a lounge with fireplace, a desk, a modern kitchen, and a bathroom. There is also an annexe with a living room, a large bedroom, a bathroom, and a toilet. It is on the top of a calm and isolated hill. Tranquillity and rest are guaranteed. The property is located on a 3000-sq.m park with an unobstructed view of the grassland and the woods. There is a private heated pool, a shaded terrace,2 garden seating areas, a stone barbecue, a hammock, swings, a ping pong table, a badminton court, and a lit up boules court. There is an amusement park nearby. In the surrounding areas, there are many cultural tours available, such as the Lascaux Caves, the prehistoric museums, trips in gabarre boats on the Dordogne River, and canoeing. You can also visit the wine-producing properties and the markets with mushrooms, foie gras, and truffles. The holidaymakers that visit Le Meynicot come looking for the calm and quality of life it offers. Ideal for 2 families with children, the dependency offers certain privacy, and the gated pool, as well as the complete absence of cars, makes the place safe for children of all ages. Adolescents will not get bored with the heated pool, the Ping-Pong table, or the badminton court. Adults will definitely enjoy the boules court, lit up at night, or the siestas in the hammock under the shade of a large oak tree. There are many possibilities to hike in the forest, starting from the house. For those who love mountain biking, there are many waymarked paths, and those who love cycling will find many quiet, but hilly routes starting from Le Meynicot. We will be in charge of welcoming our holidaymakers to make them know our place and give them advice about cultural activities, leisure activities, and the gastronomy of our region. You will also recommend some local products such as foie gras and other specialities of Périgord, as well as many gourmet restaurants according to your expectations.

Charming house in lovely setting
The house is full of charm and character, a beautifully renovated farmhouse with lots of space and comfort. We really enjoyed the lovely pool and hot tub, and the boules court! It was a pleasure to cook in the kitchen and to enjoy meals both indoors and outside. Paul and Virginie were very helpful and kind, especially when we had to deal with some unexpected car trouble. We would be delighted to stay there again.

Beautiful setting. Swimming pool and hot tub were excellent, especially for children. Inside the house had a slightly "tired" look and feel but outside was spectacular and we were lucky to have good weather all week. Kitchen could be larger given the number accommodated in the property. Host was very helpful, especially when the dishwasher stopped working - he replaced it within 24 hours! Biggest problem was the flies but that may just be the time of year/weather conditions. Overall a great property for a family holiday.

Family holiday
The property was lovely and we all enjoyed our stay very much. The location was perfect, the pool was great and the hot tub a great additional luxury. We were a bit taken aback by the surprise €320 bill at the end for heating the pool, having bedding and a cleaning bill. It begs the question what the weekly rent was for?! These additional costs should be made much more transparent as this is not an insignificant surcharge.

Just perfect
We spent the majority of our holiday outside, it’s a great outdoor area. Well worth heating the pool. The boules court is a great activity for us adults too and we even started up a league. 4 very comfy double beds and we all slept well. The best thing about this home is it keeps it’s cool during the day and night so you don’t have to worry about a hot nights sleep. Paul was great at keeping us informed and guiding us through the booking process. We made use of the houses utilities, the washing machine and extras fridge came in very handy. The village a mere 3 minutes drive is one of the friendliest villages in France we have been too, 2 very good resturants who are more than accommodating. Fantastic area it was completely quiet during our stay. Only at night can you hear the wildlife as two ponds are close by so it’s great to watch, we saw wild pigs, deer, hares and bats. 10/10

Total relaxation!
We have just had a fantastic fortnight in this amazing property with our three young adult children. The location is stunning set in beautiful countryside. It is completely private. The house is set in large gardens with lots of mature trees so plenty of shady spaces. We all enjoyed the pool, badminton, table tennis and also playing boules on the shaded boules court. It was incredibly hot when we were there (38 degrees some days) but the main house remained really cool and was a great refuge from the heat. Whilst the house feels quite remote it is actually only 2k from the large village of Vergt where there are shops, cafes etc.. which you can walk to in 20minutes. The nearest large town is Perigueux which is beautiful and well worth a visit. Paul was really helpful and all of the arrangements and hand overs were completely smooth. Would definitely recommend to everyone and would also go back. Katie & Steve, Worthing, West Sussex, UK.

FANTASTIC!!!! PERFECT!!!!
What a lovely house, traditional rustic property with huge hot tub and heated pool, huge garden and great facilities. The added bonus of having the annexe with two more double bedrooms, another shower, bathroom and toilet is great if you have a big family like we do. The house is spotlessly clean and Paul the owner is very helpful and easily contacted. Good location for Vineyards and exploring the Bordeaux region and beyond. We had a day trip to San Sebastian in Northern Spain and really enjoyed it. Sarlat is a must visit town, the market is incredible. Bergerac is a very nice town. This is a real gem in a great location and I fully recommend it. Can't wait to come back. Thank you!!

A fantastic holiday
If you're looking for a genuine, characterful French house in secluded, peaceful location with only the sounds of the countryside then 'Le Meynicot' is the ideal place. Yet within 5 minutes there is the village of Vergt with a Boulangerie, restaurant, bar etc.and 1 or 2 minutes more and you're at a well stocked Intermarche with everything you need (including a good selection of wines) for your everyday needs. We were met and shown around the house by Paul who we cannot praise too highly. He is very friendly and relaxed and speaks excellent English which made everything so much easier (especially as my French is pretty mediocre). The house had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxed 3 week stay and EVERYTHING WORKED. The 'photos do not really do the house and annexe justice and especially the pool which is much bigger and better than it looks in the 'photos. In 3 weeks there were only 2 days when it was too cold to swim as the pool cover was so efficient (also helped by the wonderful weather). The pool has a half circle section about 450mm. deep, ideal for toddlers and non swimmers as well as a deep end and was warm, lovely and clean in addition to being salt water. The whole place, including the large garden would be especially ideal for families with swings, petanque, table tennis etc. and plenty of room to kick a ball about. In 20 years of renting in France this is definitely one of the best, If not the best holiday home we have stayed in. Many thanks Paul.

Superb villa with ideal pool
We have just finished our two week holiday and it couldn't have been better. The villa was lovely with everything we wanted and the pool was just what we needed as we had superb weather. Paul the owner, couldn't have been nicer and luckily his English was so much better than our French lol. He gave us his mobile number in case we needed it, which we did when a short thunder storm knocked the electric out - we sent a text and Paul was at the villa almost immediately to fix it. He also sourced the most amazing local strawberries - if you stay you should ask him to do the same as they are delicious! I would definitely recommend this villa without any hesitation and we hope to be back next year x

Fantastic house with great facilties in a peaceful setting. We loved it!
The property has excellent facilties including a wonderful pool positioned to get the sun well into the evening. Loads of space and perfect for two families. It is close to local attractions and historical sites around the Perigord and Dordogne region but also includes swings, boules court and table tennis as well as a brick BBQ perfect for alfresco dining! The pool is clean and safe our 3 year old girl loved it! The owners are warm and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back!

A wonderful place for a family of all ages
We, two grandparents, were together with two of our daughters and their children, age 4 and 5. It was a perfect house for this: there is lots of room for the little ones to play (like a nice play-attic), it is safe (it is the last house on a quiet road) and private, and everyone loved the pool and the jacuzzi, which are both well maintained. We love to come back.

Un gîte d'exception
Un gîte formidable, un hôte aux petits soins. Malgré une météo maussade, nous avons pu profiter de la piscine agréablement chauffée, ainsi que du jacuzzi. Quelques petites péripéties liées d'une part à la météo et d'autre part au fonctionnement du jacuzzi, très rapidement résolues par notre hôte, qui se trouve être d'une réactivité exceptionnelle. Le seul petit bémol est le confort de la literie qui se trouve dans la dépendance. Le cadre est parfait pour une déconnexion totale.

Fantastic!
We had an amazing week in a fantastic location. We were here during the first week of May, so we took a gamble on the weather, but we were lucky! It was very sunny, and the temperatures were good, allowing us to spend a lot of time outdoors. The pool also needed to be woken up from its winter slumber, but by the end of the week, the water was pleasantly warm. The house is beautiful, spacious, and equipped with all the necessary amenities. It also stays cool inside, which meant that some evenings, we found it a bit chilly, and preferred to sit outside (although there is an option to heat the house, we didn't find it necessary). I can imagine that during the summer months, it would be lovely to be inside! The location is the biggest plus of this property. What a peaceful and private spot it is! Furthermore, there is plenty of sun and shade, catering to everyone's preferences. There are plenty of activities to do in the surrounding area. We visited a cave (a 20-minute drive away), went climbing in a park (a 5-minute drive away), went canoeing on the Dordogne River (a 25-minute drive away), and visited several beautiful villages. And last but not least, Paul is an excellent host who does everything he can to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.
