Located in the green hills above the pretty village of Daglan, this spacious and serene home consists of a delightful Perigordine farm cottage dating from the 1860s plus its original barn and an interconnecting entrance hall. The home is within 20 km of the medieval town of Sarlat and all the major sights of the Dordogne, including the Vallée des Cinq Chateaux. At the end of a busy day, you can return to relax on the estate, which comprises 45 acres of unspoiled, tranquil forest and pasture.
We know that we are privileged to live in such a wonderful place, and we love to share its peace and beauty. Come and see for yourselves, and we hope you’ll agree that Le Clos du Comte is truly wonderful!
The Accommodation:
Our home is ideally suited to a 3 generation holiday, 3 couples, or a couple with two or three older children who would like their own spaces.
On the left of the entrance hall, two steps lead up to the huge (10m x 4m) high-ceilinged barn which has been tastefully converted to create a spacious, light-filled living room with sitting and dining areas and a brand-new fully fitted kitchen. At the back, two pairs of French doors lead to a large west-facing terrace, equipped with a table, chairs and a barbecue grill.
On the right, one step down through an archway takes you into the original cottage, now renovated to provide two double bedrooms on the ground floor, each with an en suite bathroom (shower, basin and toilet). Upstairs, there is a very pretty bedroom with two single beds, and another large bathroom. If needed, an additional bed is available in a mezzanine area off the landing.
The home is full of the region's character, yet also provides all the modern conveniences you expect. Guest comfort is one of our most important priorities: mattresses are high-quality, sheets and towels are Egyptian cotton. Heating in the cooler months is provided by electric radiators, and there are heated towel rails in all three bathrooms.
The large (12m x 5m) pool (shared with our other gites) has plenty of chairs and loungers, in addition to a lovely built-in seat in one corner. It is heated to 26C in summer, and cleaned daily.
The estate is abundant with wildlife year-round. Almost the only sounds you’ll hear are birdsong, or the chirping of the crickets on a summer’s day. The only light you’ll see at night will come from the moon or the stars.

Local Attractions
The local region is known for its wealth of history, and Le Clos du Comte has its own history, too. During renovation work, we have found fossilised figs and a boar tusk. The land has clearly been worked for millennia – we’ve also dug up a variety of prehistoric stone tools. The farmhouse, which dates from before the French Revolution, was originally a convent with its own chapel. At some point, the property became a farm, producing wine; it stayed that way for centuries, and our reception is in the original “chai” (winery). During World War II, the wine became the subject of dispute between the occupiers and the Resistance, the then-owners fled, and the forests were taken over by the Maquis. Nowadays, the land peacefully produces walnuts and hay.
Activities are too numerous to mention. You can start by exploring in the privacy of the estate. There are a couple of walking paths, but there’s nothing to stop you from wandering across the fields or into the forests. Locally, Daglan is a very pretty village, with a general store, a butcher/traiteur/chef who produces his own takeaway dishes, a bakery, and a variety of artisanal shops and activities. The village is becoming quite the artistic colony, with the recent addition of a sculptor. The church is worth a visit, and there is a market on Sunday mornings.
Within 25 km, there are the chateaux of Castelnaud, with its military museum, Beynac, La Roque Gageac, Milandes (once home to the American-born dancer and singer Josephine Baker), and Marqueyssac , with its hanging gardens of topiary. The village of Domme has wonderful views over the river Dordogne. The medieval town of Sarlat-la-Caneda has been beautifully restored, and much of it is pedestrian only. A bit further afield, there are the caves at Lascaux, and the town of Rocamadour, which clings to the cliffs overhanging the Dordogne.
If you’re feeling energetic, you can swim in the warm pool, or in our local river, the Céou, play tennis in the village, canoe, go horse riding or fishing, or play golf on one of several local courses. Hot air ballooning is a popular local activity, and we frequently see balloons floating over on calm evenings. If you’re feeling lazy, you can read a book in the peace and shade of one of the walnut groves.
