Lovely property in great location to suit our holiday

Suitably equipped house in rural (quiet) location served as a perfect base to visit the Les Plus Beaux Villages and more (Bergerac, Sarlat, Saint Emilion and Bordeaux). Lots of running trails around and plenty of things to do (canoeing, cycling, local markets, brocantes, night markets…) within short drives. Pool to be enjoyed on days in. Friendly and informative host.

Base for touring

Les Noisettes is a lovely property with all the facilities one could wish for. We used it as a base to tour the surrounding villages etc,and it was perfect for that, and we knew we had a comfortable cottage to return to. I would definitely visit again.

Lovely relaxing and fun break

The property is perfect for a relaxing family break. The pool offers a good escape if it gets hot and is large enough to play and enjoy. The drive is a perfect place to play Boule. The situation is good for activities, local markets and vinyard visits. The only drawback we had was having to travel for bread in the morning though we turned that into a positive by visiting differvnt towns and villages.

Very nice property - but with a flaw!

Overall the house is nice with plenty of space and it is well equipped. When we arrived it was all very clean and everything we needed was to hand.The owners are very friendly and helpful. Its a really nice area and great to explore the Dordogne/Perigord area. The only gripe we had was that the proximity of the other rental property to the back of the house (which is the kitchen and main bedroom) meant that if, as we did, you have anything like noisy neighbours then it can be pretty difficult to get to sleep or even to relax in the bedroom or kitchen and you may want to keep the windows closed - not a good idea in 30c+ temperatures! Next door's patio area is literally right outside the kitchen window. Overall a nice place but a shame about the layout of the two properties.

Great house, pool and location

A lovely relaxing stay, away from it all but plenty that you can do in the area if you want to. Helpful owners and neighbours. Really well equipped house and great pool. Couldn't have asked for better

Relaxation in beautiful French countryside

We have just returned after a fantastic stay at Les Noisettes. The photos do not do this beautiful house and pool justice. The house is really well equipped, a real home for home. Everything you need is there. The owners, John and Jill are lovely and were happy to help with anything we needed. Cannot recommend high enough, we will be returning!

Great for those that want to get away from it all

A delightful property, tucked away but not cut-off. Deceptively large with a great layout for families where eberyone can find a quiet corner. Plenty to do indoors with TVs, books and games and a well equipped kitchen. A large and safe garden with a great pool, plenty of chairs and grass and a BBQ. Ideal for those that want to stay at home, or use it as a base to explore.

Fantastic get-away

We so loved this property when we arrived. A delightful authentic rural farmhouse with lovely beams etc. We loved the kitchen with its great bread oven. Absolutely stunning area, and the location itself was perfect for us. plenty of places to sit and relax, eat etc whether you prefer sun or shade. Bed very comfortable- had a few late starts! :-). Make sure you visit some of the towns such as Monpezier, Eymet, Bergerac itself. Also, to canoe the Dordogne is a must. We had a fantastic Anniversary holiday and would love to go back.

Heerlijke zomervakantie

We hebben een heerlijke vakantie gehad in het huis van John en Jill. Ze waren erg gastvrij. De omgeving is lekker rustig en we hebben dan ook genoten met ons gezin. Bij aankomst ligt er een informatiepakket klaar met leuke plekken om te bezoeken. Heel handig. Het huis is schoon, van alle gemakken voorzien en weg ruim. Een aanrader!

Host profile image
Having purchased Les Noisettes as a holiday home we enjoyed many happy weeks here. As a consequence of this our beautiful house,the French countryside and the way of life rapidly lured us in and in 2010 we relocated to the area. We now live and work locally and our children have grown up here.

Why they chose this property

We couldn't bear to part with our original piece of paradise, so we now open our home to others, hoping that they enjoy it and the region as much as we did and still do.The house is warm and welcoming and the area offers many a diversion for all ages.
