The Experience
This place is exactly what you need if you’re overtired, burnt out or stressed. The terrace has panoramic views, there’s a super pool for just floating about or resisting the pool current, a yoga studio, a shade shack for a quiet read, an upstairs communal sitting room with a big screen and comfy seating, even a piano to play if you’re inspired.
You will be fed well: breakfast in the dining room – or outdoor terrace – is a feast of fresh breads, yogurts, homemade granola and eggs along with homemade plum jam from the orchards around you; supper is offered four nights a week, with vegetables and tomatoes coming from the owners’ potager, and Sunday night is homemade pizza – worth staying in for. They have an excellent wine cave too.
You sleep in immaculate ground floor bedrooms with king size, well-dressed beds (all can be twins) and contemporary bathrooms with sustainable soaps and lotions. Walks and cycles are from the door – it’s peaceful here.

Location
The neighbourhood
In spring the organic plum orchards froth with blossom, in autumn you can pick the fallen fruit. You're just a few kilometres from the Dordogne river for restaurants and canoe hire, walks and cycles will be sublime and there are plenty of wineries and châteaux to visit. Sainte-Foy-la-Grande is 5km for shops, restaurants, the Saturday market and a train station linking Bordeaux and Bergerac.
Local points of interest from Wayne Horo
- Visit the Sainte-Foy-la-Grande Food Market every Saturday morning or the Night Market every Thursday evening throughout the summer.
- We work with several local vineyards who offer tours in english and tasting with some offering lunch and dinner that's served in idylic surroundings.
- Eat like a local from casual brasseries to michelin star restaurants with recommendations from Wayne and David.
- Walking and cycling maps of the area are available and we are located on the Compestala route. There are 4 electric bikes for our guests to use at no charge to explore the french countryside and bastide towns.
- Local activities include kayaking on the Dordogne river, world class Golf resort with three courses and 27 holes for the experienced golfer or beginner, Sothys Spa and pottery classes.
- Visit Saint Emilion, a UNESCO World heritage site and the most beautiful medieval town in our region.

Introducing
Wayne Horo
Such warm and friendly hosts, David and Wayne make staying here a joy. They both abandoned corporate careers when they fell in love with this house. They've restored it sensitively and are mindful of the planet, have installed solar panels, have a no waste policy and try to use local and sustainable products as much as possible. They offer sanctuary from the hectic pace of modern life.
The Old Presbytery is in a beautiful setting amidst organic plum orchards. The picturesque yoga studio, heated swimming pool and gardens, panoramic terrace and comfy salon with a cinema TV screen mean that lazing around eating the home cooked suppers, could be a wonderful and revitalising break. However there is plenty to explore locally too and the electric bikes are the perfect way to travel.
