Le Peuplier at Cousserat is situated in a tiny hamlet and nestled amongst beautiful Bordeaux vineyards and woodland areas. It is a quiet, tranquil spot and ideal for relaxing, allowing you the time to rest up and enjoy your holiday. You can sit or lie comfortably on one of the sunloungers next to the swimming pool either basking in the warmth of the sun or shaded by a parasol. The gite is one mile from the local, small village of Soussac which is has a café bar that does a great menu du jour and meals to order in the evenings. Pellegrue is less than five minutes away in the car and has a couple of restaurant bars, a supermarket and a boulangerie.

Reviews
Willemijn from Paris,
We had a great week in le peuplier. Mike and Penny were lovely hosts, who have great tips to explore the area, are very kind and always available to help. The gite is equipped with everything you need for a relaxing holiday, as is the garden; a small terrace with barbecue, lounge seats and a hammock, and pool with daybeds that has great parasols (they were a lifesaver during the heatwave we had while visiting).
Comment from Penny Cortvriend
Thanks so much for your glowing review of Le Peuplier Willemijn! We loved having you and your beautiful family to stay - you did so well to survive the heatwave :). We hope to see you back here one day - you would always be welcome.
Best wishes, Penny & MikeKaj&Caroline from Herzele,
We had a wonderful stay in Cousserat with Penny and Mike. They are very pleasant people where no question is too much. They are very child-friendly because everything is provided (baby chair / baby bed / stair gate). We could already find a lot of information in the information brochure that they prepared themselves (shops / places of interest / restaurants / ...) This allowed us to quickly find our way around the area. The gite is equipped with every comfort and is surrounded by beautiful vineyards. The region is a good base for visiting many things (1 week was too short). Ideally located swimming pool (full day sun) and fenced off for small children. Nothing but words of praise and a must for young and old!

Restaurants, food & wine
There are local villages and towns that are anything between 2-30 minutes away that boast a great range of restaurants, one or two of which are Michelin starred. We provide details of all in our gite brochure which we will send to you when you book and we can help you with reservations if necessary.
The wine and food in this region is amazing! We know some of the local wine farmers and we can organise wine tastings and vineyard tours for you or you can simply explore yourselves by driving around the surrounding area and pulling in at any of the many vineyards to have a taste of the Bordeaux, Entre deux Mers or Bergerac wines.
The French markets are superb and as stated earlier there is one to pick from each day, some small and some large with one of the most famous being at Sainte-Foy-la-Grande just 20 minutes away - look out for the art work here too in the spring and summer months.
Activities
There are a wide range of things to see and do near this beautiful holiday home. For example, we can arrange wine tastings for you or you can explore some of the wonderful places that are both near and a little bit further away such as: The Dune du Pilat on the Atlantic Coast, Bordeaux and Saint Émilion, The gite is only 20 minutes away from the Saint Émilion and Château des Vigiers golf courses. In addition, there is a cycle hire company in Sainte-Foy-La-Grande that delivers bikes to your gite door for a very cost effective price. You can go fishing at nearby lakes and rivers or enjoy a range of water sports including canoeing on the River Dordogne which is only 10 minutes away from the gite. If cycling or walking are your thing, we have some great local routes with maps provided for your enjoyment. Finally, of course, there are all the wonderful French markets to visit and there is one taking place in a different town every day of the week not far away from Le Peuplier.
