ESCAPE TO RURAL FRANCE
WELCOME TO
GITE LE BOST
Delightful two bedroom holiday let, renovated in 2020, in a rural hamlet in the north-west of the Dordogne close to Eygurande-et-Gardedeuil. Fantastic base for cycling & walking or just getting away in the countryside of south west France. Well thought through property and facilities, with exclusive use of a 12m in-ground heated pool and other leisure amenities. 15 mins from the towns of Montpon-Ménestérol and La Roche Chalais, and just over an hour to Bordeaux and Bergerac airports.
A holiday in the Périgord Blanc is an experience not to be missed.
Situated in the heart of “la Foret de La Double” Gite le Bost is the perfect place for you to experience a wonderful family holiday in this rural but charming area.
Secluded but not far from amenities the gite works brilliantly both for
families with children and adults alike.
The gite has a large, contemporary, open plan, living, dining and fully equipped kitchen area. There are two bedrooms – one double, one twin - plus a spacious, fully tiled, shower room.
Outside you will find a terrace with table and seating for four where you can BBQ and relax in the evening after a refreshing swim in the heated 12m x 5m pool.
The garden with heated swimming pool, boule piste, table tennis, football, short tennis and garden chess/draughts is the perfect spot for parents to relax by the pool while the children run off steam.
The large indoor leisure area guarantees that, no matter what the weather does, there are always plenty of activities to keep everyone amused.
Accessing the nearby network of cycling and walking routes in the forest is always enjoyable as is the fun of a canoe ride along the river L’Isle.
The region is rich with history, architecture, gastronomy, wine and of course the local markets.
Visiting some of the small towns and villages with their wonderful buildings and fabulous restaurants serving local produce and wines of the region is a real pleasure.

SOME DETAILS ABOUT THE GITE
The gite offers two bedrooms and a bathroom (with walk-in shower, sink, WC) downstairs, and a large open plan kitchen and living room upstairs. The property and its terrace are south west facing.
The kitchen is well equipped with crockery, glasses, pots and pans and kitchen utensils. There is a microwave, kettle, fridge (with freezer compartment), toaster, dishwasher, oven and hob, and a table with seating for four. There is outdoor seating and table for eating, along with a sun parasol and BBQ. The owners are happy to assist if they can with any extra items that may be required to ensure your enjoyment is maximised!
The living room area has a large two-person sofa, two chairs, coffee table, bookshelves (with a selection of books, which you are welcome to swap with your own) and large television. The TV offers all freeview channels, both Continental and UK, as well as a DVD player (DVD selection available), or via the HDMI connector should you wish to connect your own device (subject to you having the right connectors). Boardgames are also available.
The master bedroom has a large double bed, bedside drawer units and adequate hanging and shelf space. The second bedroom has two single beds, bed side tables and some hanging/drawer space. Linen and towels are provided. A hair dryer is also available.
The gite has electric heaters in all rooms, and fans are provided for summer. A washing machine is situated in the bathroom.
A welcome pack awaits your arrival and includes items such as bread, butter, milk, pasta, tomato sauce, tea & coffee, cereal – and some local wine. By separate arrangement, the owners are happy to host a home-cooked meal on the day of your arrival, or during your stay.
Adjacent to the gite is a secure shed that is suitable for storing bikes overnight. Parking is directly in-front of the property on the drive (to which guests have exclusive use of).
Swimming pool – the gite is alongside the owner's 12m in-ground, heated, salt chlorinated swimming pool (which is covered by a safety cover) to which they offer guests of the gite exclusive use (11am-7pm, or subject to prior arrangement), along with the adjacent sun terrace, boules piste and table tennis table.
For those travelling with children there is an array of both indoor and outdoor activities to keep them amused whatever the weather. There is a large indoor leisure area in the renovated barn adjoining the gite with double doors overlooking the pool and a large grassed area for ball games including football goals.
Please note that mobile phone reception at the property is patchy. The gite benefits from Wi-Fi, but the connection can also be intermittent and typically runs at c.1-1.5 Mbps. Usually fine for email, web-browsing & Facetime/Zoom/Voip calling, but not that reliable for rapid downloading/streaming.
The property is adjacent to a local, country road, which is not heavily used. This is typically very quiet, with the odd activity of a car or farm vehicle.
We would be pleased to answer any questions in advance of your booking, or to consider any special arrangements you may need.

We live onsite in our house situated behind the gite and are available as needed for issues, questions… or a glass of wine! We recognise this is your holiday and give you as much space and privacy as you’d like.
