Family Holiday July 2022

Beautiful house. Excellently equipped for family holiday. Everything was working and clean. Located in a very remote and quite area of the beautiful French countryside, a car is essential as closest supermarket is several km away, although there is a small village with a boulangerie within cycling distance. Our children fell in love with the pool. All in all an excellent gite with lovely owners in a superb location. Love every minute.

Fabulous Gite in gorgeous rural setting

Gorgeous rural setting Very comfortable decor in typical Perigordian style Kitchen area was well set out, the outdoor dining area was excellent and we particularly enjoyed the Plancha. One of the best equipped gites we have ever stayed in Property really well maintained Dominique and Veronique were extremely welcoming, helpful and friendly Although they were on site they were very unobtrusive and we thoroughly enjoyed our exchanges in both French and English. We all, especially our Grandchildren , loved and made the most of the pool facilities which were a real boon given the recent high temperature. The Gite is in a quiet rural location but is within easy reach of the tourist areas of the Dordogne and Vezere. We were there for 3 weeks and there was more than enough to keep us all engrossed. Dominique and Veronique were brilliant at recommending tourist sites to visit. Although very rural, there were shops within 10 mins by car, and there is a very large Supermarket and other shops within half an hour.

Beautiful Base

In a peaceful rural location, this property is a good base for the region, and a fine place to just sit in the sun (by the pool!) and relax. The property itself is charming, but with every facility for a stress-free holiday. The bathrooms are excellent, all the bedrooms a good size, and the kitchen has all the equipment that you could want. The owners were friendly but discrete - they were there if required but did not intrude. Outside, the pool is lovely, and there were seats and loungers provided. the only 'negative' about the location was that there are no shops or eateries within walking distance, so a car is essential, and several of the closest restaurants were closed for most of our stay (but it was late-September / early October, so 'out of season'). Overall, a very well planned holiday gite - would definitely stay again.

Lovely stay in a beautiful area of the Perigord

The property for our party of four adults provided everything we needed. Private well sized pool - that felt surprisingly warm. Plenty of off-road parking at the property - which is situated in a quiet rural area: but close to sites of interest that cannot be found elsewhere (e.g. prehistoric caves at Rouffignac). Shops and restaurants need to be reached via a short drive. All major sites of the famous Dordogne area are readily reachable, in less than an hour using quiet country roads through beautiful scenery. Dominique & Veronique were excellent hosts (living in the adjoining property) who were attentive and tended to all of our needs: without ever being intrusive in any way. We would be happy to return to this property at some stage in the future, when we next holiday in this area.

A delightful retreat nestled in the countryside.Extreamly peaceful setting designed for relaxation

We had a most enjoyable break in this well thought out property .Double sliding patio doors , dual aspect ,links kitchen indoor dining area directly out onto pool and delightful outdoor covered barbecued ,eating area. We were lucky enough to enjoy very warm weather during our September stay and this outside eating cooking area was perfect. Enhanced by extremely kind and helpful hosts who inhabit the adjacent farmhouse. A really enjoyable holiday stay and would recommend this venue during a warm summer.

Great, relaxing & secluded cottage with swimming pool

We stayed in late May / early June and - other than a few thunderstorms - had a very relaxing & enjoyable time. The owners (Veronique, who speaks a little English, & Dominique, who speaks good English) will meet you to check in as the cottage is on the land of their house It's worth letting them know your expected arrival time when you're en-route. The cottage is well equipped with a full kitchen including all the cookware you could reasonably need, including a Nespresso coffee maker. We loved the covered outdoor cooking & eating area - equipped with a plancha - as you could still eat outside in comfort whatever the weather. The lounge has one large curved sofa - which looks good, though you'd struggle to comfortably seat more than 3 adults - and two armchairs. It's a pleasant space to relax with a book and stays nice and cool - helpful when it's hot outside. One of the three bedrooms is downstairs and has a double bed and - separated by a curtain - twin single beds plus en-suite with a good size walk-in shower, so would suit a family. The other two bedrooms are upstairs, both with double beds & ensuites that have shower enclosures, so enough space & privacy if you have a group of 3 couples. The swimming pool is big enough to do some proper lengths in, which was great for us. It's not heated, so a bit cold when you first get in, but that's soon forgotten about as long as you keep moving! The location is quite remote, so do take a look at Google maps or similar first so you know exactly where you're going - we drove past it on the first go! This does mean it is very quiet despite being next to a road, as there is minimal traffic. The slight downside is that the garden/pool area is next to the road and, although there us a wall people on bike or high cars/vans can see over. The owners have some bamboo growing next to the wall which will improve the privacy over time. A 30-45 minutes drive gives you a large range of sights and activities from kayaking on the Dordogne or Vezere, to caves, chateaux and many, many farmers markets which are well worth checking out. Overall we had a really enjoyable holiday relaxing at the cottage and exploring the area. We would recommend this cottage & the friendly owners :-)

Wunderbarer Urlaub auf dem Land

Wir, 3 Generationen, verbrachten wunderbare, ruhige Tage in dem Ferienhaus in der Natur. Die Gastgeber sind sehr großzügig und hilfsbereit mit super Tipps für die nähere Umgebung, die reich an Sehenswürdigkeiten ist. Leider war das Wetter bescheiden, so dass die Kinder den Pool kaum nutzen konnten. Ein Auto ist erforderlich.
