The Gite’s Own Banquet Hall

Inside Gites Dordogne, this area is a stone barn converted into a double-height (no first floor) area, giving amazing space and height, and phenomenal acoustics. Playing (or making) music in here is beautiful.

The Balcony & Fireman’s Pole

An unusual and quirky feature within this Banquet Hall is the stunning solid-oak balcony leading out from the upstairs Master Bedroom. From the Master Bedroom you can enter onto the balcony to survey the Banquet Hall from above, and interact with your fellow family members and friends below!

From the balcony there is a fireman’s pole, allowing the fun-loving or courageous to slide gracefully down to the lounge below; Master Bedroom to lounge in 3 seconds.

NOTE: There are twin lockable doors to gain access to the balcony, so you can secure and close-off the balcony, away from anyone you don’t want access to it. Additionally, the fireman’s pole has a solid-oak hatch which will be closed and securely padlocked. You control if the fireman’s pole is used, and by whom. You will be given the keys to each of these in an envelope, which you can open if you choose to.

So you can see this beautiful area makes for a wonderful family friendly gite in France for you.

Winter Holidays in Dordogne

Although this gite is most popular for summer holidays, it is also a popular winter retreat for families, as well as family and friends holidays. The Banquet Hall is sumptuously insulated to make it snug and warm in winter, with both underfloor heating and a roasting log fire wood burner. There is also a warm air recycling system, that sucks warmed air that has risen to the ceiling and pipes it back down behind the walls, to gently blow it back out at floor level. With these 3 heat sources, together with the double-thickness insulation in the walls and ceilings, you will not be cold here in winter.

Log fire warming up the banquet hall. Note, pets only possible with specific permission. Small dogs only, and only in summer (winter mud). — Log fire warming up the Banquet Hall. Note, pets only possible with specific permission. Small dogs only, and only in summer (winter mud).
