Le Mazet

Le Mazet is a great bolt hole for one or two people, brimming full of charm and history. Its private garden offers stunning views across the valley, whilst the double-height sitting room is light and spacious. A perfect place to enjoy the tranquility of the nature all around, or go off exploring the Dordogne.

Le Mazet has been awarded 4-stars by the French Ministry of Tourism.

The Daily Telegraph has inspected the property and gave it 9/10, and The Times included Le Mas & Le Mazet in their 50 French Best Holidays in 2019.

The garden

Le Mazet has its own private garden with sun loungers, table and chairs for alfresco dining and a Weber charcoal barbecue. The garden has the benefit of sun from morning until evening due to its south-facing position, but the massive oak tree offers shade. The sunset bench is the perfect place to watch the sun go down, with a glass of wine. The views are spectacular. 

Le Mazet guests only have access to the pool when rented together with Le Mas, as the pool is located in Le Mas’ private garden.


Sitting room

Le Mazet sitting room is on the upper ground floor (36m²) which is reached from stone steps in the garden. It’s a sunny room, with windows on all four sides, stone walls, a vaulted ceiling and exposed beams. There is a large fireplace with wood burner (firewood provided) as well as radiators in all the rooms, making it a perfect cottage to stay in all year round. 

There is a comfortable sofa and flat screen TV with English and French channels and the Netflix app, DVD player and WiFi. There are also books and games, as well as information and guides to the local area.
