Tranquil and recharging

Lisette and Craig were excellent hosts, quickly dealing with a couple of light bulbs that had gone, and provding a great mix of being very welcoming and accommodating but not intrusive. Lovely property, where we could all just totally relax and switch off. Beautiful scenery and location, and a car is definitely required, but well located to access some wonderful places in the Western Dordogne. Thank you for a great stay

Beautiful Gite in a fabulously beautiful location - perfect for families and cyclists!

Our family spent the week here in early April and we were blessed with sunny and dry weather. If you want splendid isolation and family friendly accommodation then this is perfect. You WILL need a car or transport to get to the nearest towns but that’s the attraction. Lizette was a charming host and very friendly. She was exceptionally friendly and helped us settle in. The area is EXCEPTIONAL if you enjoy walking/trekking or cycling. I am a passionate road cyclist and managed to cover over 500kms in the week - in the most beautiful countryside and cycling through historic villages. The roads are virtually empty! Our only negative point is in relation to the WiFi/Internet connection - you simply cannot get connected in the main house and have to exit the property and sit near to the owners front door. So, if it’s raining or cold and you want to be connected to the world then good luck! If it’s sunny and dry then you can sit outside and it’s not a problem. The facilities available for the family are great - there are bikes available, trampoline, swimming pool (amazing position), zip line in the summer, table football, etc. So overall a really lovely time. Get out and explore.

Les Oisons

We had another wonderfully relaxing holiday staying in Les Oisons. The house is spacious and comfortable and has everything you need including a good size swimming pool which is kept very clean. It is set in a beautiful area surrounded by countryside with walks from the door. Cafe/shop two minute drive away. Only twenty minutes to Riberac and thirty to Brantom which both have wonderful markets. Thanks to Lizette for looking after us and booking the vets for us again! I'm sure we will be back.

Fantastic family holiday in a beautiful property

We stayed here for a fortnight back in July / August and we truly couldn't fault the place. Lizette and Craig (not forgetting Jacko) were great hosts, always on hand to offer help and advice on everything from a weekend doctor for a poorly toddler to great places to eat and markets to visit. They were also on hand as needed to contact local businesses to make bookings or find out information. The property itself is superb, well laid out, clean and spacious. The facilities available on the site really were brilliant, so much to keep the children (and adults) entertained, the pool was warm and clean and there were plenty of loungers for those lazy days chilling out in the glorious sunshine. The immediate surroundings made for some great exploring opportunities, good hills to run and cycle and the stars at night are a real treat and a must see. It's a good walk (or very short car ride) to the nearest shop which is the only downside but there were plenty of bikes available to use to collect the croissants and fresh bread in the morning :-) There are lots of leaflets and information available in the house and Lizette has lots of recommendations. We'd certainly suggest a visit to Lisle, Brantome, Grand Etang de la Jamaye and Saint Aulaye (a beautifully decorated village, with riverside beach and high rope activities). We were a group of 9, ranging in age from toddlers to grandparents and there was something for us all. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend a stay here and may well be back to experience the 2 bed house next time. Thanks again guys for a lovely holiday - the Walker, Smith, Graham clans xx

Rural peace

We had a really lovely stay at Lizette's gite. The children loved the outside space, the pool ( heated in October so they swam every day!), the horses, dogs and cat! Our gite was perfect for our family of 7, and local shops could be reached by car in about 10 minutes. It was a good location for exploring the Dordogne, Limousin and Charente. The only negative was the poor Wifi connection which we could only get in one of the bedrooms, but it was quite temperamental. Other than this no complaints and I would recommend a visit if you need a relaxing and peaceful break.

The perfect get away

We had a lovely time staying in Les Oisons. Lizette and Craig were the perfect hosts. Les Oisons is beautiful set in a tranquil location with enough going on to do if you wish. The house itself is beautiful. Lizette and Craig have a wealth of knowledge of the area so can inform you or give you tips on things to do. We stayed here with our 3 children and some friends and their 2 children. We had a great time. The children loved the swimming pool, horses and of course Daisy the dog!! A trip to the night market in Vertillac is a must, you can soak up the atmosphere in the town centre whilst enjoying the local delights. A short drive too to lake Jami( sorry I cannot remember the spelling!!) for some kayaking and some beautiful walks. We will definitely return soon.

Peaceful relaxation

Les Guichards is the perfect family retreat in the South West of France. Set in the breathtaking and tranquil countryside of the Dordogne area, Les Guichards offers the opportunity to avail of lazy days by the pool or active days exploring the local area on bike or foot. We indulged in some of this but also managed to explore the fascinating local towns of Brantome, Perigueux and Bergerac - all within an easy hours drive. Our hosts, Lizette and Craig were very welcoming and offered lots of good information about the local area. Their relaxed approach was in keeping with the environment and contributed hugely to what was a thoroughly enjoyable holiday. We would definitely recommend Les Guichards and look forward to making a return in the near future.

A Great Find in the Dordogne

We stayed with French Farmhouse holidays in the Les Oisons as part of a short break. The accommodation was very clean and tidy with a rustic french feel. It is set within an idyllic location and within easy reach of some of the Dordogne's prettiest towns, such as Brantome and Saint Emilion. Lizette & Craig, who own the property, are extremely welcoming and very hospitable. They also have a great knowledge of the local areas, should you need it. We have already decided to book a much longer stay next year as it was so relaxing and enjoyable, we were sorry to leave after such a short time. We would wholeheartedly recommend staying here, you will not be disappointed.

A wonderful week

It was a pleasure to meet the new owners Lisette and Gary who could not have been more welcoming and helpful. We also enjoyed the company of their dogs and cats and the arrival of the horses ! We have stayed at Les Oisons on several occasions in the past and have always enjoyed our stay. Les Oisons is now in need of some interior updating and refurbishment hence the 3 star rating. But we certainly hope to be back again before too long in our favourite area of France.

Excellent Holiday

Lizette & Craig are the prefect hosts, very friendly and willing to do anything to make the holiday more prefect, including giving up their own living space for 2 weeks to accommodate our families. The location is prefect, whether you want to just relax by the pool and enjoy the beautiful and peaceful countryside or whether you want to travel to places nearby like Brantone or Riberac there is something for everyone within a few miles. The accommodation is excellent, with everthing you will need during your holiday, and if something is needed, then it is easy just to ask the owners. This is the second time we have stayed at Le Guichard and it won't be the last, which is a first for us as we tend to want something new each year, but have found somewhere special that ensures you want to keep going back. The travel is around 6 and half hours should you decide to drive from the ferry as we did this year, excellent roads and easy driving, whilst being able to see a lot more of France. I would recommend this as a holiday for everyone, prefect weather, location, food & wine!, very relaxing. A Big thank you to our hosts and we will see you soon!

bonsoir, la maison n'est pas faite pour 3 couples retraités comme nous. Il n'y a pas de toilettes en haut et les 2 salles de bain se trouvent en bas avec les toilettes dedans. sur l'annonce ce n'était pas précisé..

About the host

Hosted by Lizette Coney

Host profile image
Lizette and her husband Craig bought Le Guichard in June 2013, after having owned a successful holiday rental property in Devon, they were looking to continue in the holiday lettings business, but in a warmer climate. They now live here permanently with their 3 horses and 2 terriers. We fell in love with the peacefulness and tranquility of it's surroundings and the beautiful countryside. We were also looking for a property that would not only provide our guests with a high standard of accommodation, but could also offer plenty of local activities and Le Guichard has it all.

Why they chose this property

On first visiting this area of France we immediately fell in love with it. It's location makes it very accessible from the UK & many parts of Europe. The area is a wonderful mix of rolling hills, winding rivers & extensive countryside views. It is a great spot to explore the many varied historic & cultural sites including a range of caves, chateaux, vineyards & pretty villages. Our property is in the countryside which provides a haven of tranquility ideal for relaxation & yet is close to many towns such as Brantome and Riberac with it's shops, cafes, bars & restaurants including the famous Friday market. The area offers a mix of outdoor pursuits and quiet lazy days wondering through historic picture postcard villages. This is a great holiday destination for either families or couples.

What makes this property unique

In this area of the Dordogne there is an abundance of outdoor pursuits and plenty of tracks leading straight from the property, for cycling, walking and horse riding or fishing in the local rivers. Nearby golf courses and many local markets and festivals. Or take a canoe trip down the river or meander around the colourful markets or the pretty villages. There is also the nearby leisure lake at La Jameye with a man made beach.
Our holiday homes are detached properties sitting in their own private gardens and of course there is the pool, with all pool furniture provided for our guests comfort and enjoyment. There is also our own Zip Wire ride ( see photos ) built in our own woods for the kids to enjoy.
