About the Owner/Advertiser, Mrs Shona Wisedale

I left a stressful job as a maths teacher at an academy in Gloucestershire to pursue our dream of a new life in a new country. When we fell in love with La Baronnie we knew the cottage would be perfect for a gite. Our home, the Manoir is now available for rent from 2019. We hope you love being here as much as we do!<br/>We live on site, keep a low profile but are available if required. Equally, if you wish to be private on your holiday, that's fine too, we won't be offended!

Year property purchased 2013
Why this location? The Dordogne area is just gorgeous with a wealth of history, places to visit and a wonderful climate. We viewed over 30 properties before choosing La Baronnie. Our sunny, south-facing location amongst wooded hills with rocky outcrops is idyllic, with spectacular chateau forts and honey-coloured medieval towns and villages nearby, who could want for more? We love the house and its views, its warm-coloured stone, traditional french windows, shutters and pigeonnier tower, its quirky layout and character, numerous patios, woodland, pool with a view and traditional French cattle-stalls in the gîte.
Unique benefits of property On the south-facing slope of the Dordogne valley, our property benefits from its sunny position, providing a real rural feel yet just minutes from the major tourist sites of the Perigord Noir including the medieval town of Sarlat and the castles of Beynac and Castelnaud and the Chateau des Milandes. Our pretty nearby town of St Cyprien has a vibrant and busy market every Sunday along with a Carrefour supermarket for all of your essential provisions. Our swimming pool area offers wonderful views of the Dordogne valley whilst being private and not overlooked. The Dordogne river, with canoe rental, river beaches and hot-air balloon rides is just minutes away. The nearby Vézère river offers several prehistoric sites around the small town of Les Eyzies. Several excellent restaurants are nearby.

The Owner Recommends

Sunday morning market


Sunday morning market

The Sunday market in St Cyprien is always worth a visit at any time of the year. Local producers of food and drink can be found as well as local crafts and plants. Sit on one of the many pavement cafés and watch the world go by, shop for an early coffee or glass of chilled rosé. Perfect on a sunny summers morning!

Le Bistrot d'Epicure

Our nearest restaurant and arguably one of the best in the area. Fine dining in lovely surroundings, with an outside terrace for the summer and indoor restaurant featuring fantastic works of art by local artists. The chef is the owner and his wife front of house and both so welcoming and friendly. However as it gets busy, booking is recommended.

Chateau des Milandes

The former home of the singer and activist Josephine Baker is only 7 km away. It is a beautiful chateau and is how she had it in the 1920s. Her story is fascinating if sad. There are beautiful gardens, a superb restaurant and the falconry display is worth a look.

Chateau de Beynac

Perched high on the hill above Beynac this impressive fortress was once home to Richard the Lionheart. Wonderful views over the Dordogne valley towards St Cyprien.

Castelnaud

Another fortress built high on the hill only 10 km away.Home to the museum of the middle ages it features trebouchets and crossbows. It was the former home of Simon de Montford, Earl of Leicester.

Sarlat la Caneda

The local town is world renowned for its history and beautiful buildings in the old town. Sample foie gras and duck and walnuts served as a cake, or a tasty wine.

Canoeing

Lots of places to pick up a canoe from less then 2km from us and canoe, or kayak, down the river Dordogne past all the wonderful chateaux. Hire times can be from as little as 2 hours to all day. Often a highlight of the holiday.

10 / 10 Stoner 9 September, 2019

We stayed at La Baronnie Manoir for 2 weeks with our three young children. It was absoloutlty perfect. The property itself was beautiful, extremely spacious and comfortable and kept to such a high standard throughout, all immucatly presented. The views from the house are magnificent especially from the veranda, although the master bedroom and one other bedroom have the benefit of the beautiful views as well. The Kitchen is fantastic with everything you would possibly need and more included. There is also a big BBQ, that you have sole use of which we found really useful. Our girls loved the pool, which was always a perfect temperature for them to enjoy and often had it all to themselves.

The position of La Baronnie Manoir is perfect for exploring all the main tourist attractions, which are no more than max 20 mins away. You also have the river nearly at your door step for canoeing. There are lovely restaurants, cafes and fantastic day and night markets all again very close, so there is always plenty to see and do. The Owners have fantastic knowledge of the area and would be very happy to recommend different places.

The Owners were extremely friendly and welcoming, and were so lovely to our children. They offered us advice on different places to visit bearing in mind the ages of our children and what they would enjoy probably more.

We will certainly be recommending La Baronnie Manoir to our friends and family and hopefully we will be returning again soon.

Owner response

Thank you Stephanie for you comprehensive and lovely review of our manoir. We throroughly enjoyed having you all to stay and look forward to your next visit!

10 / 10 Jones Family 29 July, 2019

The beautiful Manoir, where do I begin? We had a fabulous holiday, the home was fully equipped with everything we needed (and more), beautifully decorated and the views were stunning overlooking the Dordogne valley. Good wifi coverage, even by the pool
We loved the Sunday market in St Cyprien, much larger than we expected with loads of local produce. Exploring the area by canoe is a must, whilst taking regular dips in the Dordogne river to cool down. So many chateaus to visit , and we especially enjoyed ‘Le Jardin de Marqueyssac’ the lovely candlelit gardens are magical on a Thursday evening.
We were also made so welcome by the lovely owners , very friendly, approachable and informative. Thank you, we would love to return one day. Diolch yn fawr x

Owner response
