The accommodation is ideally placed for visiting the nearby attractions of Aubeterre and Riberac.
Our cottages are family friendly and include baby equipment such as cots, stair gates and high chairs, along with wooden train sets, toys, books and DVD’s to keep your little toddlers, babies and children occupied.
La Porcherie is a lovely holiday cottage that can accommodate up to 4-5 people.

You enter La Porcherie through a conservatory, laid out as your dining area; this is a great place to enjoy the warmth of the Dordogne sunshine. This leads into an open plan lounge and kitchen with wood burning stove (available between October and May - wood charged locally at cost) ideal for out of season breaks.
