Doumailhac is a small hamlet in the village of La Chapelle Montbrandeix 

Interesting Chateaux and a range of cultural activities are nearby with the larger centres of Limoges, Perigueux and Angouleme all within an hour’s drive.

There is an excellent choice of local restaurants to suit every budget – Chez Jules, just a walk away and La Cloche at Abjat-sur-Bandiat, a short drive away and the renown “Hostellerie St Jacques”, for a gourmet’s feast, at St Saud Lacoussière, to mention a few. The nearby towns of Rochechouart and Nontron also host excellent restaurants and are enjoyable venues for a long lunch.

The weekly market in Piégut-Pluviers is well worth a morning visit, with options for a spot of coffee and people watching.

At the bottom of the large garden is the “Circuit du Loup Garou”, a walking, cycling, riding route. Fishing and horse riding are also available locally. http://www.tourisme-hautevienne.com/activites-de-plein-air/activites-terrestres/sentiers-de-randonnee/circuit-du-loup-garou-1165

We are also only 7km from Cussac with its large supermarket/ chemist and boulangerie.
