We have just returned from La Petite Maison after a wonderful break. The weather was very warm for late September but the Gite was cool and the verandah offered both shade and sun to suit all tastes. We were looking for a relaxing time, a typical french experience,in an attractive location, but with easy access to the various attractions the area had to offer.This property fullfilled all of our requirements and more. David was warm and friendly, but never intrusive, his wife Linda was away but he dealt with all of our enquiries, and offered advice when asked. Ther was a welcome pack of food and wine which was more than generous . The house itself was very pretty and had every thing which you could possibly need.The bed was comfortable and we slept very well, the absolute silence and the total darkness of the night is so rare these days that it was a real novelty. We found something interesting to do each day but it was a struggle to drag ourselves away from the wonderful terrace. I would recommend this property to any of my friends, the only thing I would say is take David and Linda's phone number with you we forgot and spent 2 hours trying to find it on the first day. David came to our rescue when a local shop owner called him for us, we would never have found it without proper directions, don't rely on sat nav .Thank you for a wonderful break. |

We have just arrived home from a 2 week trip to France, the first of which were spent at this beautifully restored gite. We arrived one Saturday night around midnight after a 3 hr drive from Toulouse airport. We were met in the village of St Pompon by David and Linda Gudgeon, who are a charming and very helpful British couple and they guided us home, where they had stocked us up with a bottle of red wine, some fresh French bread, cheese, eggs, butter and tomatoes. We had everything we needed there – our own little place, a patio with loungers where we spent many evenings and a neighbouring German shepherd by the name of Vasco, who liked to come and greet us. We had a peaceful few days there- very soon getting into the swing of rural France – up late in the morning and often only eating dinner after 9 or 10 at night. The quaint village of St Pompon was an easy walk, and we took the time to explore many of the villages nearby. We visited the castles of Castelnaud, de Marqueyssac and Beynac – and learnt much about the battles between the British and the French way back then. We took a short cruise on the River Dorgonne, enjoying the multi-flowered villages along the way, and a tram ride in the hilltop town of Domme and lunches overlooking flowing rivers. The Jardins of Chateau de Marqueyssac were exquisite and we learnt much about the growing of and caring for boxwood trees, and were treated to a demonstration by a carpenter who was making delicate utensils out of this boxwood. Chateau des Milandes offered an insight into the life of Josephine Baker – an original Paris Follies star. The gite was a perfect spot to relax and learn more about the area, and is definitely worth a repeat visit. Dave and Sue |

La Petite Maison de la Grange was all we had hoped it would be when we booked it - in fact, in many ways, it exceeded our expectations. David and Linda were excellent hosts, hitting the perfect balance between helpful friendliness and respect for our privacy. They really care about their guests' comfort. The gite is warm and welcoming, with very comfortable furnishings, modern and well equipped kitchen and bathroom, and was immaculately prepared for us as incoming guests. After our long drive, we really appreciated finding a welcome pack of fresh bread, butter, eggs, cheese, tea and coffee and even a very pleasant bottle of the local red. The kitchen was a pleasure to cook in and the shaded terrace with its delightful view over the garden and valley provided the ideal place to eat, drink and relax. It is a pleasant walk down into the village, which has all the basic amenities and some very beautiful old buildings. Easy drives through beautiful countryside will take you to many places of interest - and you will find information about them in the gite. The site has been developed by David and Linda themselves with great sensitivity, so that the original features of the interesting old buildings are retained and enhanced. They have created a peaceful and welcoming place to stay and we would certainly love to return. |
