Guestbook
J&D Basel, Switzerland. Date Submitted: May 18, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2007 My husband and I had a lovely time at this holiday home. They are set up ideally with lots of privacy. The pictures on the website are exactly what you get...lovely furnished rooms, tranquilty, superb views. Chris and Kate are there to help so you truly enjoy for a short time their beautiful location. The location is great for rest at the end of a busy day because there is lots to see very close by. The location would appeal to any age and I would love to go to visit again.
Mike & Vanessa Kent, England. Date Submitted: June 17, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008 It was our first visit to the Dordogne and I was pleasantly surprised by the beauty of the area, the local old Town of Sarlat and the good quality roads with hardly any traffic on them. As for the Gites, I would whole-heartedly recommend them to anyone as they were clean, comfortable and well restored. Situated in a beautiful, hilly & secluded part of the countryside that guarantees peace and breath-taking views. My wife and I along with our 2 young kids had a great time. Our hosts were exceptional and we are seriously considering returning there next year.
Lynda and friends Cumbria. Date Submitted: May 14, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008 If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle then these gites are the perfect location. Chris and his wife are very knowledgeable on the area and can help with planning your sightseeing. The views are stunning and to sit on the terrace with a glass of wine and enjoy the tranquility is just wonderful. There are lots of lovely walks and the only sounds you will hear are birdsong and the occasional tractor going past. A 15 minute drive takes you into the beautiful town of Sarlat and there are dozens of chateaux and castles in the surrounding area. The gites are clean and well furnished and a lovely place to come back to after a day sightseeing.
Ross & Diane Australia. Date Submitted: July 03, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008 We chose wisely for our very first stay in a Gite. Modern amenities and plenty of room to relax in, this was the perfect place to reinvigorate a pair of weary travellers. Close to Sarlat and surrounded by magnificent scenery of southern France La Ferme de La Tour offers a quaint exterior with many modern interior features. The large swimming pool offers a guarantee to cool off after a busy day of sightseeing. The birdsong is wonderful and only the distant noises of a busy farmer make it a wonderful rural France experience. Chris and Kate made us very welcome and took the time to explain the accommodation features and all the area has to offer. It felt like we were visiting friends, with plenty of time to be on our own. Resident owners give the confidence that if a problem arises then a solution is close at hand. Thoroughly enjoyable! Highly Recommended!
Hilary and John Wales. Date Submitted: July 03, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008 La Grange was delightfully situated in beautiful countryside, ideal for walking but close enough to Sarlat and many more of the best locations in the Dordgone. The cottage itself had been superbly restored, retaining a lot of the old features and was well furnished and clean. It had lovely views from the terrace over the pool and beyond to the surrounding countryside, perfect for a relaxing evening with the barbecue and a bottle of wine. It offered everything for the best of holidays and the resident owners couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. We loved it, would highly recommend and hopefully will be back.
