About this property
This warm, friendly, and extremely comfortable village Manor House in South West France is an ideal base from which to explore the Dordogne, Cele and Lot river valleys and the beautiful villages and countryside in-between!
Ideally suited for both families and friends, and designed with the enjoyment of the kids in mind, between the stone walls you’ll find entertainment aplenty - from the billiards room to books, toys and games. Outside, the large lawned garden offers space for the little ones to roam, and the swimming pool offers a cool respite for the whole family. With a large gas grill located on the sunny, south facing terrace, family dinner time can easily move outside into the fresh country air.
Adults with a culinary interest will take pleasure in the gorgeous custom kitchen with high-end appliances and rich butcher block counter-tops, adjoining the wine cellar and beautiful vaulted dining room, the collective heart of the home. This substantial family villa offers multiple venues where you can enjoy that perfect glass of Cahors wine - two dining areas, a quiet east facing deck with view of the village church, a large sunny, south facing terrace overlooking the pool, or one of three casual yet extremely comfortable sitting rooms.

What a wonderful and truly beautiful house that has been just perfect for our multi-generational family. Whilst the weather could have been better at the start of our stay, we still found plenty to do, with visits to Rocamadour, the Gouffre de Padirac (amazing) and a peaceful and relaxing paddle down the Cele river one afternoon (again - amazing!). Lots of bbq’s and games in the evenings! My husband and I ate out on our last evening at the Château Restaurant in Rocamadour - very romantic and lovely to see the city all lit up at night. It’s been a wonderful week and enjoyed by all. And thank you so much, Nicola, for all your help and tips - it’s been a real pleasure meeting you.

Maison Bourg is one of the best places we've ever stayed. Our family had the pleasure of visiting Le Bourg and stayed in this amazing home for a week at the start of August. The photos do not do the house justice and certainly don't show the scale of the property. It is vast and extremely well decorated. Everything about this house is absolutely sensational and I would recommend it to anyone thinking of visiting France. Nick (the owner) and Nicola (the property manager) were both fantastic and couldn't have done more to help. The location is brilliant and Nick's recommendations for 'things to do' and 'places to visit' were well received and saved us a load of time and hassle. I can't speak highly enough of Maison Bourg, it's owner and property manager. 10/10
