Gîtes in a mill on the Dronne river - La Maillerie

Very spacious apartment (55M2) completely renovated. Integrated kitchen open to the living room, a bedroom with a view of the river, bathroom with shower and bathtub and separate WC. Possibility of a portable bed for one person in the living room. Magnificent terrace overlooking the river.
The staircase leading to the gîte is quite narrow and steep and may not be suitable for some people who have difficulty getting around (don't hesitate to ask for more information).

Great place to stay
A lovely property right on the river, enjoyed a spot of fishing and a nice dip in the river. The only downside was that the steps leading to the property were extremely hazardous when wet.

Beautiful location- made more special by Natasha as a host
We booked for an overnight stay with evening meal , en route to Dordogne for 2 weeks! The photos definitely don’t do this place justice. The mere fact that it’s off the beaten track makes it peaceful and unique. We were welcomed with a glass of wine, and sat in the dining area, admiring the chickens! If that doesn’t relax you, nothing will! We met other 2 couples staying there and shared a meal together that evening ( Bianca and Leo) Language may have been a barrier as we don’t speak any Dutch, but it was almost 23:00 before we realised, we had been chatting for 4 hours! If the rest of our holidays turn out to be this good, we were in for a treat! Natasha went out of her way to cater for 2 vegetarians, who don’t eat eggs either! So to make a vegan barbecue is no mean feat😀

An idyllic stay!
We LOVED our stay here! The apartment was even better than photographs and had everything we needed. We visited several places but also loved just sitting on the terrace with the view of the river, bird song and the sound of the water and walking through the glorious garden. Nathalie and Thierry were wonderful hosts and provided a few thoughtful items. The only word of caution would be that anyone with poor mobility would not manage the steps which are steep and narrow. We didn’t have a problem even though we are a mature couple but it would be something to bear in mind and it is mentioned on the property details. All in all we would highly recommend a stay here ffor peace, rest and tranquility.

Serene Gite on the river
This is a fabulous place to to stay, I can’t rate it highly enough, beautiful gardens, on the river and you are able to swim and canoe. Close enough to town but far enough a way. The hosts are very accommodating and unobtrusive. Great place for touring the Dordongne.

Complete calm in a beautiful setting
The Moulin des Bigoussies is a lovely setting and the gîte was perfect for us - clean, freshly decorated, light and airy and feels very spacious; two balconies to enjoy the evening light or just hang out and watch birds while drinking wine. The gardens, too, are a delight along the riverside. Le Moulin is very close to amenities in Riberac and many things to see in the area. Nathalie was a lovely host who answered all questions and made us feel very welcome. We were sad to leave such a beautiful place.

Fantastic location & excellent gite!
This great gite is set on a beautiful river, with the terrace looking directly onto the river. The location & view is stunning! The gite was very clean, extremely well set up, with very modern & stylish furniture. The hosts were very welcoming & helpful, and live nearby. We went canoeing on the river, and sat in the peaceful gardens. It was a wonderful stay! Thank you very much.

What a find! If we would be traveling and happen upon the setting of this gite we would consider ourselves very lucky...and to stay we were in heaven. Our gite was overlooking the river with our balcony above the fast flowing stream making a soothing sound for both sitting on the outdoor furniture to listening to the river during your sleep. One cannot wish for more. Natalie was very helpful in answering any questions we had and provided food for breakfast the first morning. My wife and I wouild usually come back from our outings early just to enjoy the setting and have a leisurely dinner. The kitchen is well stocked and the town of Riberac (3 km away) provides all your needs for food. If you are looking for a memorable gite do not hesitate to book Natalie's beautiful apartments!

Amazing place run by a great couple!
Beautiful mill house, incredible views, sun rises/sets, stunning grounds. All very natural. Particularly enjoyed taking the canoe up the Drone with sightings of kingfishers, herons, large birds of prey, and various varieties of fish, both small and large.

Great accommodation in a great enviroment!
Well looked after apartment, very clean and modern inside, well equipped, very friendly hosts (do speak English) and a great starting point to explore the Dordogne. Also recommended for cyclists! Nearby Riberac (2miles) offers everything from restaurants to weekly market. Would always go back to have holidays there again!

It was like a little piece of paradise
I can't rate this property highly enough. The perfect place to relax and escape from "life" for a week. Beautiful cottage and breathtaking views and scenery. The hosts were perfect, lovely friendly people. Not intrusive but were there if needed. Nathalie even left us breakfast items for our first evening, her home made jam was delicious. The weather was very hot so we made use of the canoes and swam in the river. I am sad to have left but will return again I hope.

Perfect
Absolutely fantastic holiday and so glad we booked to stay for a week. Location as stunning as the pictures on the website. In fact even better than we imagined. Views to die for from our terrace; sitting watching the river and wildlife. Great for a quiet get away from it all, but places to visit and things to do in this area of the Dordogne. Nathalie and Thierry were great hosts - never intruding but there when we needed them. Highlight was a great evening in their company and a chance to meet their friends and sample French hospitality at its very best. Would we come back? Of Course! Des vacances absolument géniales et nous sommes tellement contents d'avoir réservé pour toute une semaine. Le cadre est aussi étonnant que sur les images du site. En fait, même mieux que nous l'imaginions. Des vues imprenables à partir de notre terrasse, assis en regardant la rivière et la faune. C'est un endroit Idéal pour une escapade tranquille, mais avec des sites à visiter et des activités à faire dans cette région de la Dordogne. Nathalie et Thierry étaient des hôtes géniaux - toujours discrets mais présents quand nous en avions besoin. Le point culminant a été une excellente soirée dans leur compagnie et une opportunité de rencontrer leurs amis et en découvrant l'hospitalité française de son meilleur côté.Et est-ce nous reviendrons? Mais bien sûr!

A beautiful, tranquil property with fantastic views and access. Simply wonderful.
La Maillerie is a wonderful gîte in a converted mill on the river Dronne just a short distance from Riberac. The owners Nathalie and Thierry made us feel incredibly welcome and we were met on arrival for a quick tour of the property. The property itself is beautifully decorated whilst maintaining the look and feel of the mill, not to mention a river view from the terrace!! A modern bathroom and kitchen/living area compliment the history of the building. There is also private access to the river for swimming and canoeing, which we made the most of! This area of the Dordogne is simply beautiful with very many interesting places to visit, Brantôme and Bourdeilles just two to mention. It is peaceful and rural - just what we wanted. We absolutely loved our time there, made all the more special by staying in this property - we could not have chosen a better place and were very sad to leave. We can highly recommend a stay in la Maillerie.
