Quiet and relaxing

A typically French rural location to enjoy a relaxing stay. Ideally placed for the Dordogne and the exceptional Bordeaux and St Emillion wine regions. Bibi was really helpful with local recommendations. The property was perfect for us and our dog. Swimming pool and the outdoor seating was very enjoyable.

Perfect place to unwind

Bibi is a fantastic host. The Gite was spotless and set in a tranquil setting. The kitchen is well equipped with a Nespresso machine and microwave. The patio is private and overlooks the two fish ponds. The Gite also comes with its own bbq too. The pool is regularly cleaned and was the perfect temperature. The Gite is 5 mins drive from the local village, 15 to a great hypermarket and around 35 mins to Bergerac. Perfect location if you want to explore the region and its many vineyards.

The perfect getaway

We had an absolutely amazing time here for the week. The area is calm and beautiful but also provides so much to do within an easy reach. Bibi is a gem of a host; her recommendations for markets and the wine tour she arranged for us were ideal and significantly improved our stay. So did the dogs!

Delightful Stay

The property was beautiful & rustic. It accommodated us well, with everything we needed for our long stay & the bed (which is most important) was super comfortable. The surrounding green land was stunning, with wrap around views of the area, including some very old ruins. We were about a 15 minute drive from the local supermarket & town, which was close enough, yet far enough, as we were looking for peace & quiet. Bibi was incredibly accommodating & helpful when we needed her, but was never intrusive. The cherry on top were her wonderfully, lovable dogs who came to visit every day & got along well with our cockerpoo. We miss them very much already. Thank you for sharing your gorgeous corner of the world with us. We would definitely return!

Lovely week in a gorgeous corner of France

A perfect week in the Dordogne, Bibi's gite was immaculately clean, with every amenity we needed. The pool was wonderful, especially as it was 30C+ while we were there. Really quiet location, we could just relax when we wanted to, but there are some lovely towns within 30-40 minutes if you want to explore. We would definitely stay again.

Lovely Quiet Gite

Bibi is a wonderful host - very helpful when needed, but in no way intrusive. The two gites are private, with one facing the lovely clean warm pool and the other, which we had, facing out over a lovely view of the countryside. From the terrace we watched the birds come and go - a heron, turtle dove, house martins, black redstarts and kestrels. The gite is very well equipped and comfortable and within easy reach of restaurants and supermarkets - Intermarche in Montpon and LeClerc in Castillon. Daily visits from Bibi's 3 very friendly dogs; however, the French couple in the other gite had a large German Shepherd which appeared threatening, although they told us she was all bark! Very much recommended for a relaxing break in a lovely rural area, thank you Bibi.

Serenity and Peace in the Countryside

The gite is located in the beautiful countryside just under 2 miles from the nearest village with a couple of shops and restaurants. The lac du garçon was nearby with some water sports activity for when you are feeling more energetic. There was everything we needed in the gite including a fan for the hot nights, coffee machine and airer for drying off your swimming stuff. The pool was refreshing and with only one other couple staying at the property was always a quiet and relaxing place. Bibi the host was friendly and welcoming, always on hand for any questions and even arranged a trip to a local Vineyard for us. She also provided us with details of a local firm to hire bikes from although the surrounding area was quite hilly. Her dogs were amazingly friendly and quietly roamed around the large grounds. Nature was prevalent in abundance in the area. Buzzards soaring high above, swallows swooping to drink from the pool and deer cautiously feasting on the grass. All in all this was an exceptional holiday in a great location in an amazing gite but you definitely need your own transport if you want to get out and about.

An amazing place to stay!!

We spent 2 weeks in this idyllic oasis of calm and beauty🙂 The reviews and photos could not have prepare us for just how beautiful and amazing this place is! Bibi was the perfect host and made sure we had everything we needed and more. The Gite was cool and spacious with lovely touches. We spent days relaxing around the stunning pool terrace and found it a perfect location to relax and unwind. The gite is in a perfect location for getting to St Emillion, Bergerac, St Foy Le Grand and for enjoying the delights and activities in both the Dordogne River just to the south and the Isle just to the North., with canoe hire and boat trips available. Thank you Bibi for sharing your little piece of paradise with us😃

Perfect quiet retreat

We stayed for a week to relax and recharge after our wedding and got exactly what we hoped for. The gite is in a beautiful location, everything was incredibly clean and tidy, including the pool and Bibi was a perfect host leaving us to it but on hand if we needed her. The pond with it’s great frog symphony every night was a bonus too!

Away from it all

We were lucky with the weather but it is a most relaxing spot regardless of the weather. Our cottage was the one with the walled terrace with a wonderful view of the sky. And 25 yards away the small ponds with the fish and frogs and a very friendly toad were a delight. And then of course our hosts, and not forgetting their very friendly dogs with the expectant eyes and the cat. It was a most relaxing stay and Bibi and family have a very attractive home. It was the ideal place for wine drinkers, betwixt and between Bordeaux and Bergerac. Who needs TV when you have the stars. Many, many thanks.

Peace and Serenity

Beaulieu supassed all of our expectations and more. Our plan was to have a relaxing ten day break surrounded by nature and to explore the surrounding area with its markets and villages. When Bibi showed us our gite we knew that we had made a great choice the gite had been decorated to a very high standard and was spotlessly clean. We felt at home from day one and this was due to the relaxing atmosphere here and the fact that Bibi and Fin were on hand as much or as little as you wished. We spent our days by the spotlessly clean pool and the nights in the privacy of our own patio eating, drinking and star gazing. By the end of our ten days we were totally relaxed and felt sad to leave. We will definitely go back to Beaulieu and soak up some more of this wonderful part of the world. Thank you Bibi and Fin.

A wonderfully relaxing, if slightly remote location, the night sky is something to behold

Bibi & Finn are the perfect hosts. There when you need them, always willing to assist with any requirements, but also respecting your privacy. The location is wonderful, the gites are well equipped and very comfortable for couples and the swimming pool was a life saver in the 30`+ daily heat. There is plenty to do and see close by and it is easy to get to the coast. Good local restaurants, vineyards aplenty and a multitude of wildlife. We enjoyed it so much, that we booked to go back next year before we left.

Wonderfully relaxing holiday. Property was great and host charming and helpful.

Well equipped, attractive property set in beautiful, well tended grounds with great pool. Lots of wildlife including birds, butterflies, fish, frogs. 2 kilometres to local village for bread and basic groceries but roads very quiet. St Emilion and Bergerac within reach for day trips and several nice restaurants within 30 mins drive. A perfect place for a relaxing, ‘get away from it all’ break. We would definitely return.

Beautiful gite in a fabulous setting

We had a wonderful 2 weeks here at Pond Cottage. The setting is so peaceful you cannot help but relax. The pool is great, lovely size, so clean & plenty of space to relax with lounge chairs, umbrellas & space to have lunch. Bibi is a lovely host & there to help with whatever you need. The gite has been furnished to a high standard & with much thought. We took our dog Dillon & he was made to feel very welcome & made pals with Ziggi & Seven! We walked every morning to the local lake with plenty of space & places to eat & picnic. Lovely holiday & just what we needed here at Pond Cottage.

Beaulieu "a beautiful place" - it certainly is !

The drive to Beaulieu gites from Bordeaux airport took about an hour and a half travelling through beautiful vineyards past imposing chateaux finally arriving at the long chalk drive to the gites. The setting is simply stunning, the pictures are realistic, but cannot capture the true beauty, tranquillity and peace of the location. We had an absolutely wonderful time, sitting by the ponds in the evening sipping the lovely local wines watching the sun go down. The gites are lovely, well equipped with pretty much everything you could want. The owners Bibi and Finn are excellent hosts as are Ziggy & Seven for all the dog lovers missing their four legged friends ! The location is great for exploring the local area and within easy striking distance of Bergerac and Bordeaux - the latter in particular a beautiful city. All in all a fabulous place with Bibi & Finn on hand for friendly advice and guidance but very much in the background. So if you need to unwind, kick back and have a thoroughly great time exploring or chilling in the pool look no further !
