    Last minute booking which didn't disappoint. Friendly and accomodating to our late check in, room was much bigger than expected and breakfast was lovely. Shop over the road and plenty of parking. We will be back!

Paul and Tanja
L'ancienne Gendarmerie is a charming old building in the centre of Saint-Laurent-Sur-Gorre. The building was a Gendarmerie before being converted to a hotel / restaurant in the 1980's. It has now been renovated as a Chambres D'hotes. We offer two exclusive bedrooms with bathrooms and a Family Junior suite with a bedroom and lounge / second bedroom with a private bathroom. You have access to a private terrace and woodland gardens of over a hectare leading to the river Gorre.
We are English but have decided to make our home and business in France. We love the village we have chosen as our home, as well as the surrounding countryside and towns. We hope to share all the area has to offer with our guests.
L'ancienne Gendarmerie is situated on the church square in the centre of the village. The local amenities include a restaurant, bar / tabac, baker, butcher and shops. The larger towns of Saint Junien and Limoges are 17km and 32km away respectively. The village of Rochechouart, with it's impressive chateau is 13km away. We are in the Parc naturel regional Perigord-Limousin with extensive walks and cycling, lakes, rivers and natural countryside. There is a swimming lake in Cognac-la-foret 9km away. Chalus, where Richard the Lionheart died is 17km away. The martyred village of Oradour-sur-Glane is 24 km away.
