Fleuret House

Built in 1640, Fleuret House is a characterful red-sandstone manor in a one-hectare estate in the hamlet of Fleuret, near Curemonte. Exposed stone, beams and a traditional fireplace provide a welcoming setting for a family holiday in the upper Dordogne Valley. The published maximum occupancy is ten guests unless agreed in advance with Gillian.

Six bedrooms and four bathrooms

The ground-floor double bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and is accessed through the garden. On the first floor are a double bedroom with an en-suite shower room, a large living room with a traditional fireplace fitted with a wood-burning stove and a kitchen/dining room opening onto a terrace that seats twelve.

Upstairs are a further double bedroom with an en-suite shower room and air conditioning, a triple room with air conditioning, a twin room and a single room, with a family bathroom. Baby equipment is available on request.
