Surroundings : The house overlooks the beautiful Vézère Valley, and sits at the end of a private drive which winds gently up from the river. The little village of Thonac with its well stocked shop, restaurants and bar, is less than a mile away. The charming market town of Montignac and the famous Lascaux caves are just a ten minute drive to the north, and the pre-historic troglodyte fortress of La Roque Saint-Christophe a ten minute drive to the South. You will be spoilt for choice for places to visit and things to do!

The many and varied activities on the doorstep include canoeing, horse-riding, walking, cycling and paragliding. There are also many attractions such as an aquarium, a treetop adventure park and a heritage theme park. To name them all would need a book - the list is endless....! Those looking to experience the gastronomic delights of the region will find a nearby market on every day of the week offering the very best that local producers have to offer. There are many opportunities to discover the secrets of production and sample the fine foods and wine that this area is famous for - confit de canard, foie gras, gateau noix, regional cheeses and Bergerac wines to name but a few. There is an abundance of local restaurants to suit every taste and budget, ranging from riverside cafés to haute cuisine. PLEASE NOTE : The pool is available for use from May to September, and will be heated throughout this period.

By Alison & Jan on 08-Sep-2024To find a place like this is rare but David & Lori have managed to create this fabulous holiday home for their guests. Absolutely nothing has been forgotten even down to the electric orange squeezer! They are on hand if you need any local information but never intrude on your privacy. We truly hope to return soon.

Wonderful
By Christine G on 12-Aug-2024Gorgeous property in beautiful location. Everything you would ever need is available in the cottage. It keeps cool during extreme heat. The pool is large, clean and overlooks a chateau and countryside. The owners are very helpful and friendly. A very rural area, a car is definitely needed for exploration and shopping. Peaceful and relaxed stay, fully recommend.
What a fantastic holiday
By Sue and Dave R on 03-Aug-2024What a fantastic holiday we have all had here in your wonderful house. The attention to detail is brilliant and we can all honestly say there is nothing we would change. The pool is amazing and all the grounds are so peaceful. There is so much to do nearby, including the water park, canoeing, caves, the escape chateau and the assault course on the lake was great hit, as was karting. There is so much to cater for every age, but just relaxing at the house has been perfect. Thank you for being such kind and wonderful hosts. We couldn't have asked for anything more.
Two weeks packed full
By Iain and Laura W on 20-Jul-2024Two weeks packed full of trips to Chateaux and amazing markets, paddling down rivers, treks through woodland, gorging on top food in St Leon. Every day was a new experience, ending with the obligatory afternoon by the fantastic pool. A holiday to exceed all expectations. Dave and Lori are kindest and most welcoming hosts. Can't fault what they do. Thanks a mill
We had the best week staying at Le Chause Haut
By Danni G on 07-Oct-2023We had the best week staying at Le Chause Haut. Many afternoons spent in the pool and on the terraces. We visited Parc du Thot which was lovely and shady. great animals from around the area (pre-historic) and we especially loved the goats! Parc aux Dinosaures was also a big hit and nice and cool on a hot day - great fun for kids! We canoe'd from Thonac to St Leon which was a prefect distance for a five-year old. Thanks for a great stay
