BONJOUR & WELCOME

to the most beautiful region of France!


Hello, we're Wayne & David and welcome to our home, The Old Presbytery, a lovingly restored 18th century stone Presbytère with stunning views over orchards and vineyards towards the Dordogne River and the bastide town of Sainte-Foy-la-Grande. 


We are committed to helping our guests travel sustainably, whether by generating our own solar energy or by partnering with other like-minded producers and B Corp suppliers.


We're only 1 hour drive from Bordeaux and 30 minutes from Bergerac and ideally located to explore the Bordeaux wine region, Saint-Émilion UNESCO world heritage site, Chemin de Compostelle route and the many beautiful castles and medieval towns in Gironde and Dordogne.


We are dog friendly and children over 18 years are welcome.



PEACE & TRANQUILLITY

At the Old Presbytery we can offer you space, privacy and the peace and tranquillity of the french countryside, as well as luxurious touches to elevate your experience.

As soon as you walk through our doors you’ll discover a friendly and relaxed environment where you can unhook from the world. We consciously bring what’s outside our doors, inside; drawing on the story of our local area to inspire every aspect of your experience, like the stone work of our building that was loving restored by a local artisan craftsman.


Or simply relax by the pool or under our 300 yr old Lebanese cedar trees and enjoy the view!

The entire Old Presbytery is also available to rent exclusively for events with catering provided by chef David. Please contact us directly to find out more.

RESPECTING THE PLANET

We believe the world will be a better place if we all tread lightly on the planet.


To help us achieve this we aim to be fully sustainable with solar energy during the summer season.

We source all our food and drink locally where possible, and in season. What’s not eaten we compost.


We avoid single use plastic bottles and straws. We give each guest a free reusable water bottle and provide free filtered tap water.


We use eco friendly bathroom products from B Corp suppliers.


We are dog friendly and Sherlock & Mrs Hudson, our resident Airedale Terriers, will happily play with you and your four legged friend for hours.


We proudly support LGBTQ+ travel.

HEALTH & WELL-BEING

Your health & well-being is important to us, so we offer a range of activities for you to enjoy while you're staying with us.

Our 10 x 5 metre pool is heated and salt treated. It is also equipped with a counter current swimming machine for those who love doing laps.

We have electric bikes and maps of the local area for you to explore. We are also on the Chemin de Compostelle route if you fancy a longer trek.

​Or a spot of pool in our games room?

Our gym and yoga studio is located in a converted pigsty and is equipped with an infrared sauna that is both relaxing and restorative.  Feel free to join us for yoga.
