The details

Le Mazet is a beautifully restored stone cottage tucked away on the same peaceful grounds as Le Mas, offering a wonderfully private retreat for one or two guests. Full of character and history, it’s the kind of place that immediately invites you to slow down, breathe deeply and settle into the gentle rhythm of Dordogne life. Awarded 4 stars by the French Ministry of Tourism, Le Mazet combines authentic rural charm with thoughtful modern comforts.

The cottage is arranged over two levels, making the most of light, views and natural coolness. On the upper ground floor, the double-height sitting room is a real highlight. Reached by stone steps from the garden, this bright, airy space has windows on all four sides, stone walls, a vaulted ceiling and exposed beams. A large fireplace with a wood burner creates a cosy atmosphere in cooler months, while radiators throughout make it a welcoming year-round escape. There’s a comfortable sofa, flat screen TV with English and French channels, Netflix, WiFi, books and games, making it easy to relax after a day exploring.

Sharing this level is the open kitchen and dining area, neatly designed and well equipped for relaxed self-catering. You’ll find everything you need for easy meals at home, from a dishwasher and oven to a Nespresso machine and dining table for unhurried breakfasts or candlelit dinners.

Downstairs, the bedroom and ensuite bathroom sit on the naturally cool lower ground floor, ideal for warm summer nights. The bedroom features a queen size bed dressed in crisp Egyptian cotton, a dressing table and plenty of storage, while the spacious bathroom has a walk-in shower and all the thoughtful extras you’d expect, including The White Company toiletries.

Outside, Le Mazet’s private south-facing garden is a true delight. With sun from morning through to evening, it’s perfect for lounging on sunbeds, enjoying alfresco meals at the table or firing up the Weber charcoal barbecue. A magnificent oak tree offers dappled shade, while the sunset bench is the perfect spot to end the day with a glass of wine, soaking up the far-reaching valley views.

Beyond the cottage, the southern Dordogne opens up with an extraordinary mix of landscapes, history and gastronomy. From medieval bastide towns and bustling markets to vineyards, rivers and ancient caves, this is a region that rewards curiosity. Whether you’re canoeing on the Dordogne river, wandering through stone villages, sampling local wines or simply enjoying long walks straight from the doorstep, Le Mazet offers an idyllic base for discovering one of France’s most captivating regions.
