Le Manoir du Bout du Pont

Informations générales

Historic charm is epitomised by Le Manoir du Bout du Pont - from its Pigeonnier from the 16th century, the house itself from the 17th, the sun dial on its facade, the wisteria covered courtyard, the three acres of gardens and the huge 19th century barn of over 200 square metres.

When the daughter of owners, Roddy and Angela Sharp, announced her engagement, it seemed the most natural thing for her to be married at Le Manoir. This will happen in July 2016. So, the seed was sown and with encouragement of family and friends, the idea of transforming the property into a wedding venue began to grow.

So, follow Le Manoir’s progress over the next months on this page.

Le Manoir is situated on the edge of La Sauvetat du Dropt, with a boulangerie, convenience store, tabac, post office and the renowned restaurant, Ma Maison. The bustling bastide villages of Eymet and Miramont de Guyenne, are both five kilometres away and Duras with its famous chateau is 12 kilometres away. The nearest airports with regular international flights are Bergerac (30 minutes away) and Bordeaux (90 minutes).

The sundial indicates the core of the house was built in 1699, but its Pigeonnier dates from the 16th century (a National monument) and this suggests that there were earlier dwellings.

Le Manoir is also let out as a holiday home and sleeps 12 people in six ensuite double bedrooms. There is also a gite with two ensuite bedrooms accommodates a four people. Further accommodation for upto four more can be arranged. During the peak season and for weddings or events, it is only possible to rent the house and the gite together, thereby having exclusive use of the entire property.
