Tucked within the heart of the Dordogne countryside, Colombat Cottage offers a warm, traditional escape on a private estate. This beautifully restored stone cottage forms the west wing of a charming farmhouse, where rustic charm meets quiet comfort. Framed by rose-filled gardens and woodlands stretching over 40 hectares, it invites guests to embrace the peaceful rhythm of rural life just half an hour from Bergerac.
Step inside and discover a pretty farmhouse kitchen and dining area that blends comfort and character, leading into a cosy living room with a wood-burning stove, UK TV, and Wi-Fi. French doors open onto your rose-clad terrace, where shady al-fresco meals and slow afternoons unfold against the backdrop of birdsong and rustling leaves. The bedroom, serene and versatile, offers a super-king bed that can be configured as two singles, complete with a generous and modern ensuite featuring both bath and walk-in shower.
Outside, a 10-metre private pool awaits, exclusively for your use, surrounded by sun loungers on the poolside terrace. Beyond the farmhouse’s garden (shared with the resident owners), the estate reveals a world of gentle adventure: woodland trails, a fishing lake teeming with carp and black bass, and curious surprises like a hidden WWII relic and freshwater spring. Whether playing boules in the late afternoon light or picking vegetables from the garden, there’s always a quiet corner to discover.
The cottage’s location balances seclusion with convenience. A short drive brings you to a village with a café, bakery, grocery store and butcher, while the lively town of Mussidan is just 8km away, offering shops, restaurants and a relaxed village atmosphere. For cultural days out, Bergerac is within easy reach, home to historic sites, open-air markets and renowned wine tasting experiences. Venture further to Périgueux for more bustling markets, fine dining and fascinating history.
Colombat Cottage is ideal for couples or two friends seeking the charm of country living. Whether you’re looking to unwind beside the pool, fish in peaceful surroundings or explore the pleasures of the Dordogne, this delightful cottage is a place to simply breathe and be.
- This lovely one-bedroom cottage is in the west-wing of the owner’s farmhouse – they live on site. Guests have exclusive use of the swimming pool and enjoy access (shared with the owners) to the mature gardens and vast grounds (with fishing lake).
