    De jaarwisseling hebben we samen met onze hond doorgebracht in Maison du Pont. Het huis is compleet ingericht, en gezellig. De bedden zijn comfortabel. Met de open haard en de verwarming bleef ook op koude dagen het huis goed op temperatuur. Marjon toonde zich een bijzonder attente, betrokken en zorgzame gastvrouw, zodat we ons extra welkom voelden in hun paradijsje. Vanuit het huis is al direct een mooie wandeling te maken bij de oude ijzergieterij. Ook de wandeling bij Notre Dame de Partoux over de bergkam kunnen we aanbevelen.

  • 9 stars

    Heel fijn huis met eigenlijk alles al aanwezig. Wij zijn er met 2 honden en 2 kinderen geweest. De tuin is heerlijk groot en heeft allemaal leuke plekjes om te ontdekken. De honden genoten er zichtbaar van. De kinderen konden lekker spelen in het zwembad en op de speeltoestellen.

    Mooi wandelgebied in de direct omgeving (bijvoorbeeld vanuit Saint Mesmin), IJzergieterij fabriek op wandelafstand. Verder moet je voor boodschappen en toeristische plekken wat verder rijden 10 tot 30 minuten. De grot van Tourtoirac is een absolute aanrader.

    Contact met de eigenaar was zeer prettig en volledig. Het ontbrak ons aan niks.

  • 10 stars

    Voor de 2de keer op rij geweest. Wat n heerlijk compleet huis. Aan alles is gedacht! Genoeg handdoeken/beddengoed, buiten meubilair, een fijne airco en zwembad (je).
    De tuin is groot, omheind en genoeg schaduwplekken om even uit de zon te gaan. Een waar paradijs voor rustzoekers en hondenliefhebbers.
    Het contact met de huiseigenaren is erfdienstbaarheid. Ook de sleutelbeheerders staan je bij bij calamiteiten.
    Zeer rustige omgeving en van de camperplaats (in de buurt) totaal geen last. Genoeg supermarkten in de buurt.
    Voor wandelingen, kijk op de app van Komoot.

    Comment from Gerrit & Marjan Ophuis

    dankjewel Ronald en Annette en wat fijn dat jullie volgend jaar weer bij ons te gast zijn.
    Erg leuk die collage van foto's.
    ps De echte camperplaats is ruim 1 km van ons huis, wat jullie bedoelen is de parkeerplaats bij de IJzergieterij 600m verderop waar je s nachts niet mag blijven staan, gebeurt heel incidenteel.

Restaurants, food & wine

Every week there is a local market in every nearby village where you can buy delicious local produce.
To eat out, go out on a terrace or eat an ice cream, you don't have to go far from home. You can do so in Savignac Ledrier at Bar Restaurant des Forges,
where the friendly owners prepare the most delicious fresh and home-made dishes for you, accompanied by fine wines. Good and affordable.
In Payzac (5 km) is a cosy bar with a terrace where they also serve delicious coffee with the pastries from the bakehouse next door.
Every Friday there is happy hour. There are many good Restaurants, pizzerias and eateries nearby. You will receive a list of addresses when booking.
Culinary is of course also very good in your own home and garden:
-Breakfast with croissants, pain, baquette, brie and a café au lait on one of the terraces, in the sun or if it is very hot in the shade
light the bbq and cook your own hamburgers, steaks, sausages or self-caught fish, add a salad, baguettes and fruit and enjoy
-If the weather is bad, just use the large electric grill or sit by the fireplace with a glass of wine and a snack
