Dezie Manor Cottage and Gardens near Sarlat la Caneda

Without a doubt the best house we have stayed in.. ever! We booked it on a bit of a whim but it was such an incredibly relaxing and resourceful break. The house is so peaceful and has everything you need to relax but also entertain a full family (ours range from 4 to 50!) Grant has made this house so comfortable and easy to live in but it also retains such charm. Small details make a difference and the pool and outside area are superb. The owner living next door makes SUCH a difference. He was on hand for anything we needed (although we only had questions about recommendations). He also brought a pony up for my daughter.. twice! Area also amazing, canoeing, horse riding and restaurant recommendations were spot on. Chateau de Baynac also worth a trip. We will definitely be back!

We really enjoyed the House, Surrounding and the wonderful warm Pool, the quiet and the scent of the southwest of france. We are a Family of three and a couple and there was so much Place for all of us with enough of private sphere. We had much Fun with pingpong and the historic Kicker. Thank you for all, Grant. We had have wonderful hollidays.

We spent two fantastic weeks at Dezie Manor Cottage at the beginning of June. The accommodation was beautifully furnished, full of character and spotlessly clean throughout. A fully equipped kitchen catered for almost every eventuality, allowing us to comfortably cook for a party of 5 and have the option of dining indoors or outside on the pool terrace. The barbecue was a welcome addition on the warmer evenings. Being set deep in the countryside allowed us to enjoy the tranquility of the location and its varied wildlife, especially around dusk. A well stocked supermarket and boulangerie were conveniently located within a 8-10 drive from the house. The information provided by Grant in advance of our arrival proved extremely useful and he remained discreetly on-hand throughout our stay to address any queries or issues that arose. Would throughly recommend.

The property was exactly as advertised. It was well equipped and met our needs perfectly. For a relaxing get away from it all holiday the location and grounds were perfect.

Really lovely villa with lots on offer to entertain the whole family. The pool was great, the games room fantastic with the added benefit of gym kit if you felt so inclined. Grant was very good at getting back to us on any minor issues or requests pretty much immediately! The one thing we could have done without were the flies, unfortunately this part of the world does come with the little blighters, no fault of the property at all but they were a little annoying at times. Would love to go back if we get the chance, pictures don’t really do the property justice, it is huge inside! And all very well appointed. Thank you Grant for making our stay comfortable & enjoyable.

Wonderful and quiet place to relax, enjoy and plan excursions. Grant was super helpful and friendly, provided good tips what to do around. Paddocks sourrounding part of the garden allowed to watch the horses. Overall we had a great week!

We had a wonderful week in this lovely gîte. We loved everything about it - plenty of space inside & out, fabulous pool, great outside dining area & even a games room! It’s an ideal location for a relaxing family/group holiday. Many thanks to Grant for thé use of his beautiful gîte & for his prompt email responses to any questions we had. I’m sure we’ll be back!

We loved our stay here. Grant couldn’t have been more helpful. The property is beautiful and had everything we needed. We loved the space and the wildlife and the local towns. Want to go back!

This accommodation exceeded all our expectations. It was a true tranquil paradise, which could be used to get away from it all or a luxury base to explore the surroundings. Our dogs were welcome too with lots of forest walks on hand and a brilliant location for local amenities. Grant and Kiki were fantastic hosts and nothing was too much for them to do, to make our stay even better. We have already booked to return again twice next year. Would highly recommend this accommodation for all ages.

A great property that feels private and away from it all, and quite rural. It was an hour or so's drive from lots of the things we fancied doing (boat trips / most impressive caves etc) , so with two young children we ended up doing two days out and the other days we stayed around the pool, no bad thing! Spacious. Lovely warm pool for the hot weather we had (c. 32° in Aug). Gorgeous shower rooms, otherwise quite a rustic property, a few small replacements and updates in the kitchen, bedrooms and living room could bring the facilities up to 5 star quality like the bathrooms. Overall a great stay with a great owner.
