Nestled on the gentle border of the Dordogne and Lot-et-Garonne, The Prune House is a traditional French stone cottage surrounded by 40 acres of organic farmland. This idyllic retreat offers the rare combination of complete privacy and attentive support: the English owners reside in a nearby farmhouse, close enough to assist if desired, yet far enough to ensure your stay remains entirely your own.
Just 6km from the charming bastide towns of Eymet and Miramont-de-Guyenne, and only 30km from Bergerac airport, The Prune House is perfectly placed for both tranquility and exploration. Designed for two guests (plus a baby), it is an intimate haven for couples seeking romance, rest, and authentic French country living.
