Welcome to L'Hirondelle Chambres d'Hôtes

Tim & Louise welcome you to L'Hirondelle (meaning 'The Swallow'), a charming 19th century farmhouse, offering delightful bed & breakfast accommodation.

Choose from the splendour of our four poster double room, or the airy elegance of our twin room. Both rooms are tastefully decorated and benefit from luxury en-suite facilities. Tea and coffee making facilities available in each room. Our four poster room can easily transform into a family room with the addition of a comfortable double sofabed. L'Hirondelle also benefits from full central heating and a wood burning stove in the lounge for the cooler months.

Fresh croissants & bread await you at breakfast along with a selection of fruit, yoghurts and preserves. Served with a choice of fruit juice, coffee or English tea if preferred. Breakfast is usually taken on the sunny terrace in the summer months. A four course evening meal is also available by arrangement on selected evenings and is taken 'en famille' (with the hosts and other guests). All meals are homecooked using fresh local or homegrown produce wherever possible.

Located in the heart of 'Le Parc Naturel Régional Périgord-Limousin', we are ideally situated to explore the varied and beautiful attractions of the Haute-Vienne, Dordogne and Charente departments. We are only 2 kms from the pretty market town of St Mathieu, which provides full amenities including a petrol station, banks and a supermarket.

Discover the magnificent Châteaux on the Richard the Lionheart route. There are 16 in total from the magical castle at Montbrun, to the majestic hilltop chateau at Rochechouart.

Limoges, the porcelain capital of France, is only 45 minutes away.

The beautiful cities of Périgueux and Angoulême are also under an hour away. A special mention must go to Brantôme, 40 minutes south, known as the Venice of the Périgord. Surrounded on all sides by water with a magnificent centrepiece abbey overlooking the weir on the river Dronne.

Unlock the sights, sounds and tastes of the local markets with the largest weekly regional market at Piégut, only 15 minutes away by car.

For the more energetic we can guide you to the many activities available in the area such as horse riding, fishing, cycling, kart racing, swimming, golf and sailing. For walkers you are in the midst of a great many 'Randonnées' (marked walks). Two of these pass within 400 metres of L'Hirondelle, not for the faint hearted is the black walk, marked out over 45 kms.

The village of St Mathieu is also home to a picturesque leisure lake, which provides a sandy beach with supervised swimming, fishing, sailing and pedalo hire. A restaurant / bar are also open here throughout the day in summer.

However you may simply wish to unwind in your private garden. The perfect place to enjoy a cool drink on a hot summer's day.

Wildlife - the best place to start is in your own garden, where Buzzards and Red kites can often be seen circling overhead. Watch out too for the ever-busy birds, such as Blue Tits, Wrens, Black Redstarts, Great Tits, Goldfinches and of course Swallows. You may also catch a glimpse of less common birds, for example Hoopoes and Hen Harriers. Deer are also occasionally spotted at the margin of the woods.

The surrounding countryside is also a fantastic haven for all kinds of flora and fauna whether you are walking, cycling or driving.
