The Experience
Bring everybody. As well as a large sitting room you’ll also find a games room with pool table, a separate dining room, a TV room with a huge screen and a kitchen with another dining area. All the rooms on the ground floor have French windows leading out to a lovely terrace for outdoor meals overlooking the lake and pool. Swathes of lawn are perfect for games or sunbathing and eleven acres of woodland are yours to explore. If you’re a larger party (up to 18) you can also take The Grange, about 200m away with its own drive, two bedrooms and bathrooms and a private garden – perfect for those who want to be in the throng, then peacefully out of it.
View-filled bedrooms are traditional, bathrooms are plentiful and squeaky-clean. The kitchen is splendid and you’ll find two good bottles of wine from the owners’ cellar waiting, along with bread, cheese, pâté, and honey from the housekeeper’s bees.
Thiviers is a ten-minute walk for a weekly market, a train station and plenty of restaurants and cafés.

An excellent holiday; the house is wonderful and Thiviers on the doorstep had everything to offer. Richard couldn’t have been better on comms and his recommendations were 100% on point. We were 7 adults and 7 children and we had a fab time. The pool was perfect and the children loved exploring. Evening drinks on the terrace were great. Getting out and about was easy and we explored / ate out in Perigaux and Brantome (with some fun canoeing at the latter). A strong recommendation for David the chef - an excellent raconteur with the ability to knock out some absolutely top drawer food). 10/10.

Location
The neighbourhood
Walks start from the door and the landscape is wooded and undulating with far-reaching views on all sides. There is a restaurant 1.5kms away which does a hearty traditional French lunch, otherwise there are plenty of places to eat in Thiviers. In the winter months you can visit the famous foie-gras and truffle markets. Périgueux is 35 minutes in the car, Limoges and Brive each just over an hour.
Local points of interest from Richard & Poppy Skinner
- Welcome to the beautiful Château de la Guerinche, a much-loved château dating back to the 18th Century. The main Chateau can sleep 14 with the Grange an extra 4 - please let us know if interested
- The local town has 4 great supermarkets. A mixture of lovely restaurants. We have a butcher, 3 great bakeries and the most wonderful Saturday market which is a must-visit. We have a great cook living nearby for those interested
- Chateau de la Guerinchie was built in the early 17th Century for the Comtes de Tessyiere military family. Designed to be the archetypal manor house, the family helped design and create their perfect Maison. It stayed within the family for over 300 years
- The Chateau is around 2.5 hours to the large town of Bordeaux by car, 55 minutes to Limoges, 30 minutes to Perigueux and an hour to Bergerac. Both Limgoes, Bordeaux & Bergerac have airports with UK and French links
- Thiviers train station has links to trains to all major towns and even Paris
- While many period features are still in place, important updates mean amazing super fast wifi, modern bathrooms, renovated kitchen, cinema room (90inch TV), a slate based pool table. outdoor kitchen, woodburners etc

Introducing
Richard & Poppy Skinner
Richard (a strategy consultant) and Poppy (a fashion and travel writer) met in London but are now settled in Singapore. They bought the house so that their extended families (Richard's in England and Poppy's in Rome) could get together for long family holidays. They spend theirs here too and hope you enjoy the house and surroundings as much as they do.
Such an amazing place. Beautiful castle, with lovely rooms and antiques. So much to do in the area and great food! The owners were so kind and helped make this such a special family holiday. Thank you. We will be back!
