Regarding Bedbugs: Please note that the property is thoroughly inspected and cleaned after each guest has stayed, to guarantee that there is no bedbug infection at all. We expect our guests to be equally vigilant. This beautiful accommodation for two people sits just a few steps away from the very centre of historic Aubeterre-sur-Dronne. This is one of the most beautiful villages in France, with its amazing troglodyte Church of St Jean, the Romanesque Church of St Jacques with its stunning facade, and the panoramic vistas of the Dordogne countryside spreading out to the south. The property is called La Maison du Tourniquet, meaning 'The Turnstile House', because it used to be the toll house controlling entry to Aubeterre-sur-Dronne from the north. People would enter one door, pay their toll and exit through another to continue down the hill to the market place. The property provides: - One double bedroom, with luxury bed linen. - Fully equipped kitchen with oven, hob, extractor, microwave and fridge-freezer. - Dining and lounge area with flat smart TV, DVD player, radio/CD player. - Shower-room with a washing machine and a separate toilet. The whole property benefits from fibre broadband wi-fi. Outside, there is a pretty and secluded garden with its own private access, a table and chairs under a large parasol, as well as a bench in the shade. Free public parking is across the road with no reservation needed. It also has a charging station for electric vehicles.
Rob lives in the Charente and has recently taken over this property. He is passionate about providing high quality holiday accommodation - somewhere he would like to stay himself, with his wife.
