Ewen McHardy
The Hibou Heureux (Happy Owl) is a luxury villa with swimming pool situated in the heart of the Dordogne. It has a large grass area and numerous flower beds and bushes. The house is Perigourdine style with modern amenities. It is secure with a remote control gate providing both privacy and tranquility. It is surrounded with medieval stone walls recently refurbished to provide a pleasing visual feature. The kitchen is well equipped and there is a sandstone barbecue and picnic tale at the rear of the house for al fresco meals in the shade of a cherry tree. Beside the pool a patio has a teak table and chairs with parasol to provide shade while enjoying a cooling drink with nibbles. In the house we provide free WiFi and there is a printer available for you to use in the mezzanine area.
I'm Ewen, the owner and your host while you stay at the Happy Owl, I meet and greet and attend to your needs with advice about the local area, places to visit, market days, canoeing, cycling, golf, restaurants and general information about points of interest. I speak French, English and Scottish. I respond quickly to inquiries and do my best to ensure you will have a memorable holiday!
Bezenac is in the heart of the Dordogne valley and close by many points of interest, the medieval market own of Sarlat is very popular with many tourists. There are numerous other old world towns and villages each with its unique character. Domme especially is a must visit with its narrow streets and small shops and restaurants. St Cyprien is a five minute drive from the house and there can be had all your shopping needs there are bars, restaurants, supermarkets, shops, banks.......
