Clos Marcamps

Choose between 5 guest rooms in restored buildings near to the elegant Dordogne stone house. Four of the rooms are in one building but still feel very private, with comfortable sofas and chairs and TVs for rainy days. The Campagne suite has its own terrace with a hot tub, three of the rooms are up in the eaves. All are colour themed, have well-dressed beds, en suite bathrooms and organic soaps.

You breakfast well, in the dining room of the main house when it’s chilly or on the terrace overlooking the pretty garden with mature trees – very large for a village setting. Eggs will be from the owners’ hens, breads and pastries from the local bakery, butter from Bordeaux, charcuterie and cheeses from the Pyrenees and Basque Country, fresh fruit and the best coffee.

Order a picnic lunch and set off to explore the gorgeous countryside on foot or by bike, taste wine at a plethora of vineyards or simply sit outside a café for people-watching.
