Ideal holiday cottage in The Dordogne on edge of pretty hamlet. Private pool.

Good location for what we wanted to do. We had problems on two different days with two different electrical issues, both where seen to by the manager either same day or next day, who was very friendly and polite. Very rustic inside. The bedrooms got extremely warm even with fans running. Linen was very clean, although the house does have a musty smell.

We had a truly wonderful holiday. The house was just perfect for our family of four (two adults & two kids aged 11 & 9). The house was very clean and welcoming upon our arrival and it had all we needed - its own private pool was a real treat! We ate in the garden using the BBQ most nights. The village is super peaceful and yet only a few minutes drive away from a local bread shop for our morning croissants. Larger food stores only about 15 mins away in the car. Lots of activities very close by: we canoed in Cénac, hired bikes in Castlenaud-la-Chappelle, and a real favourite was going to a local public swimming lake on the edge of Gourdon, where the kids loved Aqua-Monkey and paddle boarding. Our favourite restaurant was La Terrasse about 10 mins drive up the hill from the house looking out over the local vineyard. There is also a fantastic viewing tower there looking down across the valley! At a time of so much uncertainty in the world, we couldn’t have chosen a better retreat for our holiday - would definitely recommend!

Great location in small commune on the banks of river Ceou. Short drive or 40 minute walk to bakery, bar, restaurant and vineyard - we bought a case of lovely rose. Close to the breath-taking medieval villages of Domme, Sarlat, Castelnaud and Gourdon, with good restaurants and markets. Cenac close by for canoeing and the Ceou valley is great for bike riding. The house is located on a minor road and is very peaceful. It is well equipped and I was relieved to find a huge SMEG fridge/ freezer and kids relieved to find great wifi, English TV and a good selection of DVDs. Helpful house managers close by. Our teenagers loved lounging in the south facing pool and then having a BBQ early evening - in fact on some days this was all we did as weather so hot! We were lucky enough to be there for the summer festival in the village square which finished at midnight with amazing fireworks. I could have stayed another week .

My husband and I booked this property and took our two grandsons (aged 11 and 9 years). We all had a really lovely time. The cottage is very well equipped and was spotlessly clean. Being on the edge of a village it was extremely quiet and very peaceful. Amenities are a short drive away with Gourdon about 15 minute drive where there are excellent restaurants and supermarkets for supplies. Weather was beautiful so days were spent relaxing in the garden or in the pool, which was a definite hit with the boys. There are lovely walks around the village with cycle tracks for the more energetic. Booking was made extremely easy with the owner whom I found helpful and informative. All in all, this was a wonderful cottage and we had a wonderful holiday.. Would definitely recommend it to anybody. Sandie (Portsmouth UK)
