Hi, I'm David, a former Fusilier ( in both 1st & 2nd Battalions). In December 2020 my wife Katie and I moved to Saint Aubin de Cadalech; a small hamlet nearby the bastide market town of Eymet in the Dordogne region of South West France.
In April 2021 we got the keys to our beautiful home, La Raziniere, and decided to open our doors to Armed Forces Veterans & those still in service to enjoy short breaks here. The house was originally built in 1709 and has been lovingly brought back to life whilst maintaining some gorgeous original features - with the recent addition of a swimming pool. Around the pool you're welcome to make use of the BBQ and dining area - we have a fridge and freezer there for your personal use also. Further down the garden you'll find a Petanque pitch and also a badminton set that you can enjoy.
Whilst you do not have use of our personal kitchen we provide you (outside of the bedrooms) a fridge, freezer, BBQ, crockery, cutlery etc so that you can dine "in" in comfort.
Photo's on "the bedroom" page; but in summary the room is an accessible double room with access to private family shower-room (walk in shower) in the next door room.
The room has an additional fridge/freezer along with those outside for your use.
Tea & coffee making facilities are provided in your rooms along with a starter pack of teabags, coffee, milk and sugar.
Hairdryers are provided.
