Dordogne Holidaymakers Appreciation

“Looking out across the field towards the woods, from this house in the sunny Dordogne region, you feel as though you’re in the middle of nowhere – perfect tranquillity, with nothing but the sounds of wildlife around you. That said, the medieval town St Yrieix is just down the road – about 10 minutes by car – where you can… More
Sarah Young, Guest

“This farmhouse is just stunning! Incredible high standard, felt very opulent, with several quirky features including an indoor balcony & Narnia wardrobe entrance to the living area! The settings are beautifully quiet & secluded with so much room for the children to run around in. The property… More

Greg Hancock, Luxury Villa Guest

“This Dordogne cottage is amazing. A typical french country farmhouse and barn have been transformed into a perfect rental that’s perfect for a group of friends and children. All the bedrooms are very comfortable with luxurious bathrooms. The main bedroom even has a fireman’s pole for a swift exit downstairs! We were particularly impressed with the open plan self catering large cooking/lounge/eating space that was made for big gatherings. It’s huge! Outside this villa in beautiful south west France, there is a massive patio partially covered to give some shade on the really hot summer days. Beyond that there… More

“This is one of the self catering Dordogne gites that is just stunning! The setting is beautifully quiet & secluded with so much space for the kids and families to run around in. The house itself was almost as big as my local village – I could fit my house in the large and newly renovated Banquet Hall! And with spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. This was just the tonic we needed before Christmas, the views are stunning in all directions, like a deep exhale of peace! We will definitely be back for a week or 2 weeks! Its hard to find something to fault with this. The weather climate and temperature in south west France could have been better but I don’t hold the hosts responsible for that! It was December!”

Sarah Young, Guest

“One of the best gites to rent in Dordogne! Locally you can get everything you need (the fortnightly Friday towns market place is well worth a trip for picking up delicious food to take back and enjoy on the buildings patio, with a nice glass of local wine and a book!). We stayed there as a group of ladies celebrating a friend’s 50th birthday, and it was a perfect base for chilling out, visiting lovely local restaurants and laughing loudly without disturbing the neighbours!
The perfect secluded countryside relaxing holiday spot to focus on finishing off the outstanding admin before Christmas… and then sit back, unwind and look up at the stars with a nice glass of red, maybe a St Emilion trip. Awesome house and lovely garden, comfy bedrooms and bathrooms, and facilities one could need for a farmhouse in the Dordogne region!”

Dani Harrison,
Guest

“We searched ages for self catering houses with swimming pool, or a holiday cottage and Dordogne cottages for our get-away. We found this. This luxury villa (“gite luxe Dordogne”!) in the French countryside – the location, settings, scenery and region, big bedrooms – bedrooms sleeps 8 or more – a stunning house in the Dordogne region. We loved the children’s play area, the swimming pool, wonderful views and good restaurants nearby. We instantly felt welcome and relaxed on our visit.”
WHERE IS THIS STUNNING DORDOGNE HOUSE?
In layman’s terms, we are about three-quarters of the way down France and about one quarter of the way in from the west / left coast.

This Dordogne accommodation, newly renovated, situated in the Aquitaine region (Dordogne is the department but you will hear people pronounce it as “the Dordoyne area” or dordoin, dordoine, dordoigne), is north or NW from Languedoc Roussillon, from Périgueux, Bergerac, cote d’azur, Lot et Garonne, with temperate climate with some of the most beautiful villages, castles and grounds.

Les Eyzies-de-Tayac-Sireuil near the Grotte de Font-de-Gaume, and Sarlat la canéda and Le Bugue (Le Bugue is worth a visit) is situated to the south of our holiday homes.
