“A fantastic place to stay in every way” Gite very well equipped and comfortable. The welcome pack was excellent as we arrived at night and it had everything we needed for the next morning. Gite was in a quiet setting but only a short drive to restaurants, supermarkets etc. Owners very friendly and helpful.

“Beautiful accommodation in a perfect location” Very pleasanty surprised at the style and quality of the accommodation and the quiet country location that was central to many of the desirable locations in the Dordogne area. Keith and Lindsay were the perfect hosts available with help and advice when needed but not intruding when not required. Very nice and very French welcome pack of food/drink was left for us on arrival and we were offered use of a barbecue, free boules and badminton. Keith gave us the option of fishing on his private lake with equipment available for hire. The gite was very well equipped with Sky Tv, dvd, cd player and board games. The kitchen with full gas cooker kettle toaster microwave fridge freezer and all necessary utensils. The bathroom with very good shower and all towels. The bedrooms with comfortable beds plenty of storage and quality bed linen....and all immaculately clean. Thanks Keith and Lindsay if you're unlucky you may well get us back again!

“A Little Bit of England with French Charm” Lovely place to stay. About 1 hour from Bergerac. Very rural area. Accomodation has been recently refurbished to a high standard and is completely seperate to the owners home. Overall accomodation was first rate with seperate Sky & DVD. English owners were on site and were very friendly and helpful although we were able to enjoy privacy when we wanted. A true taste of rural France. fresh bread and croissants from the nearby village. Swimming in rivers, lakes and pools, warm evenings with fantastic views of the stars. Local fetes in the villages almost every night and loads of bon amie. A lovely way to relax, unwind and enjoy the French pace of life for a change. The beaches at Bordeux and water parks are about an hour and a half away so can be reached relatively easily. Lots of historical places to visit if you want .
