Pet friendly 3 bedroom house.

Situated on its own private grounds, this renovated barn is the perfect place for your vacation in the country. It has a bright and spacious open plan interior. Bedrooms 1 and 2 share a bathroom and, bedroom 3 on the ground floor has an en suite bathroom. Entering the barn through the French windows into the hall on the ground floor you notice the original oak beams above and the banisters edging the dining room, landing and living room on the upper floor. On the right is the door to the ensuite bedroom which, together with the hall, has a view of the garden to the south. Ahead of you, the stairs rise to the upper floor reaching the landing which leads right to the kitchen & dining room and left to the living room, bedrooms and bathroom. French windows from the dining room lead to a patio and the upper garden.
The large garden and oak wood are fully fenced. Some areas are mown whilst others are left to grow in summer to encourage wild life. There is a small fenced off pond and some hedgehog refuges dotted around. I do not use pesticides.
Close to St Aulaye, the tiny hamlet of La Ganetie is on a hill above the Dronne valley with countryside views across the valley. The river Dronne and local lakes are great for fishing. In summer both Aubeterre and St Aulaye create riverside beaches with restaurants and river swimming. You may hire canoes and paddle down the rivers having great fun when you hit the unexpected shutes! There are sign posted walks along the river and through the forests all around. After a busy day exploring the vin yards, historical sites, Art galleries and beautiful countryside of the Perigord vert.

The garden is very pretty in Spring with cherry, apple and plum blossom and the song of the nightingales, In summer and autumn the cherries, apples, plums and figs are ripe to eat.
'Katy's barn' is divided into two apartments in the same building. I and my dogs live permanently in another part of the barn so that when you come to stay we will share the garden. As the garden is so big and includes different areas and levels, you will have space to relax and play.
Local Area: Close by, the historic Market town of St Aulaye has amenities such as a bank, restaurants, Art galleries and shops including a good sized Carrefour Contact supermarket which stays open till 7pm. (except Sunday when it closes at 1pm) In the summer enjoy the beach and the swimming in the River Dronne where there is a playground and café/restaurant which frequently hosts live music and entertainment. You may stroll from the barn to Chenaud where you can see the Chateau and Mill beside the river and there are plenty of woodland and riverside walks close by. Riberac, Chalais and Aubeterre are all within twenty minutes drive and provide further opportunities for exploration, marketing and shopping.
Activities:
This is a good base for day trips to interesting places in the region including west to the coast or inland to Lascaux, and the many historic towns and cities of the Dordogne.
Walking and cycling - there are many way-marked trails in the area. The little winding lanes and white roads provide good routes along the river and through the forests and hills.
Horse riding. (It is best to book this before you arrive as the stables get very busy in the summer)
Cycling: There are a number of bike hire companies which will deliver the bikes to your door step.
Bird watching. A variety of birds of prey live and breed in the area. Buzzards are the most common but I frequently see Black kites, hen harriers, kestrels and merlins.
Wild animals such as deer and wild boar are common in the forests. The garden has a number of refuges for hedgehogs and other small animals such as the green speckled lizard.
There are lakes and rivers for fishing, canoeing or swimming.
Visit historical sites including Roman villas, Romanesque churches, pre-historic cave paintings and carvings, the Museum of Pre-history.

Katy’s Barn is like a home from home. I wouldn’t be surprised if there were numerous repeat bookings. It is very pretty with lots of beams. The is so much light and a fantastic feeling of space. There’s a lovely garden; fenced in for dogs. The area is really lovely. Katy is right nearby and very friendly and helpful. She very kindly did a bit of supermarket shopping for me before our arrival. I consider myself to be a fussy customer but I would certainly stay again and recommend to anyone.

A beautiful barn in a quiet and secluded location but with nearby town
We spent a very happy three weeks at the barn. The accommodation was lovely, plenty big enough for the whole family and very comfortable. The garden was a delight, really safe for our two dogs who loved the space. The location is perfect for exploring; the two local towns of Chalais and Riberac are both lovely and have fantastic markets. You are also near enough to Angoulême, St Émilion and Bergerac for visits. The local restaurant is not to be missed. The local village has a great supermarket too. All in all it was just perfect and Katy was the most thoughtful, kind host. Thank you so much for a wonderful holiday.

A great place to stay
The property was spacious and well equipped. The photos didn't do it justice. The Barn was in a quiet location but with plenty to do and explore within a short drive away.

Fantastic barn conversion, great facilities, huge garden
We (6 adults in total) stayed here for 2 weeks in August 2017, the barn in an amazing conversion retaining all of the original beams and character - there so much space you'll never feel crowded and the garden must be almost an acre in size - just brilliant

The barn was gorgeous better than the photos had suggested.
We stayed for three weeks with our dog Olive who loved the big garden which is fully fenced. The local beach by the river was brilliant and going in the last three weeks of September meant we had this to ourselves. The surrounding area was so peaceful and pretty. We visited a lot of the local larger villages and markets and eat out at lunchtime at chalais and aubereterre sur dronne which was a gorgeous local village with a lovely square of restaurants. We would like to thank Mark and Jenny who looked in on us once a week to make sure everything was ok and to bring fresh bedding and towels. We have to say that this is the best area of France and will be coming back again next year.

Very peaceful barn location
The property is a converted barn with the social accommodation all on the second floor. Divided into two halves it would work extremely well for a social group. Lots of space. The garden was large and was adored by our dog! The property is a short 20 min walk to the centre of St Aulaye (or a 5minute drive), where there is a supermarket for all your basic needs. The river nearby has a beach and is a wonderful place to relax. Overall the place was very peaceful and ideal for a relaxing holiday.

Serenity in rural France
We really enjoyed our 5 week stay in La Genetie Barn. Despite the weather being unseasonably cool it did not stop us enjoying the locality and indeed the house itself. The Barn presented a fantastic stage for our extended holiday in France. A constant flow of friends and relatives from the UK ensured some lively evenings. The atmosphere was extremely relaxed and the support provided by Mark and Jenny was marvellous. We missed our canine companions who unfortunately could not make the trip from Australia but they would have loved the garden and the many walks in the surrounding lanes and forests. The markets, especially Ribourac on a Friday morning, were an absolute experience to be enjoyed. And finally we recommend Bergourac for a day trip, as the most attractive town locally while not being a tourist trap (at least in May). In summary, we had a wonderful vacation which will be hard to replicate anywhere else.

Séjour très agréable
Le gîte est très propre, bien équipé et spacieux. Il est idéalement situé sur la propriété puisqu'il bénéficie d'une terrasse privative et d'un accès au jardin. La mitoyenneté avec la propriétaire ne cause aucune nuisance quelconque. Katy est une hôte agréable, attentionnée et aux petits soins. Si vous avez besoin de quelque chose, elle fera tout son possible pour améliorer votre séjour et le rendre encore plus agréable. Par forte chaleur, il fait bon vivre dans le gîte qui conserve la fraîcheur. Par ailleurs, il y a de nombreuses activités à proximité : pêche en rivière, randonnées, activités nautiques et tourisme (région riche historiquement). Nous avons même voyagé avec notre chien qui a sympathisé avec ceux de Katy et nos oiseaux. Un vrai bonheur au vert et au calme d'une région magnifique. Je vous recommande vivement cette location, sans hésiter !

Wij hebben van ons oponthoud zeer genoten! Zeer vriendelijk onthaal. Onze 4 jachthonden vonden de omheinde tuin "het einde" en hebben de hele dag gespeurd. Een grote keuken waarin het nodige aanwezig was. Zeer rustig gelegen en toch niet té afgelegen. We hebben er ons thuis gevoeld. Zeker aan te bevelen ook voor een langere periode.
