Sunshine bathes this staggeringly beautiful land.
A crunchy
drive sweeps into the entrancing courtyard of the Manor de Rigal. You will
find a cluster of ancient honey-toned stone farm buildings and, secluded at
the far end, your delightful 18th century, lovingly restored,
farmhouse. The interior has a contemporary French feel, the 3 elegant
bedrooms are dressed in crisp luxurious linen, each is en-suite ( one room
is downstairs with a bath en-suite) filled with soft towels. The fully
equipped kitchen awaits your gastronomic creations, but worry not, for those
less inclined there are numerous restaurants, bistros and auberges just
waiting to delight your taste-buds.
The huge
sitting/dining room, with imposing ancient fireplace overlooks the suntrap
patio with its barbeque and plethora of chairs to sit and relax or chat or
read or sip wine or …..
French
windows to the rear, with views of silky, waving grass, it’s a place for
children to romp in over 100 acres of picture-book organic pasture and
woodland without fear of damaging anything. The garden and grounds have
lu will stumble upon the medieval designed vegetable
garden complete with sundial, not that time is an issue here. However, you
may want to soak up the scene at one of the colourful nearby markets, visit
a fairytale chateau or for the more energetic cycle or canoe down the
Dordogne valley, there are beautiful shady woodland walks from the doorstep
and Misty our gorgeous border collie will willingly accompany you if you so
desire, she always seems to spot the deer.
The gite
is suitable for families, couples or a small group of friends just wanting a
break, there are many cheap flights to Bergerac ( 20 minutes away) and out
of season we can fit in with your travel plans. The gite is totally central
heated, using coppiced wood from the estate and there is a romantic
woodburner in the living room.
No
wonder our guests keep coming back!

THE GITE
The Gite at Le Rigal is the former farm manager's stone cottage and is
located within the spacious and private courtyard of the farm. The cottage
has been restored keeping a wealth of period French charm but incorporating
all the facilities required for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday.
The Gite can comfortably sleep 6 to 8 people and has 3 en-suite bedrooms and
a sofabed downstairs (with separate access to a bathroom). There is a fully
fitted kitchen with dishwasher, microwave and washing machine, a spacious
lounge with wood-burning stove and satellite television and DVD player.
There is a dining area and outside you will find a walled courtyard to the
front and to the rear a terrace and grassed area for Bar-B-Q's (provided)
and watching the sunset.
All bedding, towels and linen are provided for use in the gite - however
please bring towels for use at the pool or other leisure activities.
There is private parking close to the gite with garaging available if
required.
We kindly request that all guests respect our non-smoking policy within the
gite, around the swimming pool and children's play area.
ECO-TOURISM
Le Rigal estate is run organically; no chemicals
are used on the pastures and re-cycling is a way of life. You will
find recycling bins close to the gite where paper, card, plastic
containers, boxes, bags, bottles, tins, cans and so on can be
collected and recycled.
A composting system is in place and most kitchen waste (apart from
meat) can be composted.The compost produced is then spread onto our
organic vegetable plot.
The woodburning stove in the gite is an environmentally friendly form
of heating (if required!) using wood coppiced and collected from the
estate.
The brand new pool conforms to all the latest safety and filtration
standards.
The pool is a salt water pool thus avoiding chemicals that damage the
skin and environment.
The toilets drain into an environmentally friendly ‘Fosse septique’
and only ecologically approved cleaning materials are used throughout.
The Gite comes supplied with environmentally approved washing-up
liquid / dishwasher tablets. Non-biological washing powder should be
used and may be purchased from us if required.
The outside lights are solar powered.
