Bed and breakfast between Bergerac and Bordeaux near vineyards

This beautifully renovated spacious bed and breakfast near Saint Emilion (20 mins), Bordeaux (just an hour to the City Centre) and Bergerac (40 mins) is on the edge of the beautiful historic village of Montcaret in the Dordogne region of France.

Set on the main Bergerac-Bordeaux road, this is a great location for heading out to explore the numerous vineyards of the area and of course go wine tasting. Your British hosts can arrange vineyard visits and tastings for you - just ask.

For an active holiday there's loads to do in the area including cycling, walking and canoeing. Bikes can be hired or you could bring your own and store it in the secure shed.

But if you just want some serious chill-out time to yourself then park yourself on a sun-lounger next to the swimming pool or in the gardens which look towards fields, vineyards and the chateau, take a book from the shelf in the library and relax.

The guests' lounge with its cosy woodburner is also a lovely space in which to unwind after a busy day exploring the Dordogne countryside and the vineyards of the Bordeaux area. Complimentary tea and coffee making facilities are available.

To set you up for the day, tuck into a delicious continental breakfast which is served between 07h30 and 09h30 in the Orangery. Enjoy freshly baked bread, croissants, pain au chocolat, cereal, ham, boiled eggs, cheese and yoghurt as well as seasonal fresh fruit from the garden. If you'd like a picnic for your onwards journey or day out, just ask - the cost would be €15 for two people including a bottle of wine or juice

There is free WiFi here and plenty of space for car parking behind the house. For your evening meal, head to the village which is a 10 minute walk or 30 sec drive where an English run restaurant serves good French food. Otherwise, there is a Spanish restaurant a 10 min drive away and an Italian restaurant less than a 5 min drive away.
