We spent a delightful week at this charming french property. The property was exactly as described on the website and clean and well equipped. Our hosts, Sarah and Nic, were welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable, without being in anyway intrusive. The outdoor kitchen, patio, barbecue and pool were the standout features of the property. The location was very peaceful and scenic and made an ideal base for exploring the Dordogne. The local village was delightful and contained the necessary shops, bar etc, with nearby towns available for all other needs.
Sarah and Nic are excellent hosts, friendly, informative and although there if needed, they did not invade our time at the Gite. The pool was well kept and the outdoor kitchen was a great added facility that we made good use of.
The gite is in extensive grounds with a river to explore at the bottom of the meadow. Although we were 4 adults there was a fence and gate ( that can be locked) for access to the pool should you have little ones with you. The Gite is in an excellent area to explore local village markets and historical sites. A short walk away a the local village with a bar and small grocers. We found everyone to be friendly and helpful with our limited French. The village restaurant is a must visit. Food and wine is reasonably priced and the quality is excellent. It’s open during the day as well as evening and we would suggest booking a table if eating in the evening.
Overall we had an excellent relaxing time with everything we needed for a holiday in this area.
Top tip: we found the Super U supermarket to have the best selection for a big shop for foods etc. this is about 8 kms away but worth the extra drive - and you get to see more of the area on the
Way.
Once again - Thank you Sarah and Nic for a brilliant holiday. 😎😁👍
2 weeks at the gite, very well appointed, lovely features within the property showing its age /history . Great outside space, well maintained and private. Pool immaculate. Definitely recommend this property- owners on site with helpful suggestions but no way obtrusive
We really enjoyed our stay at Gite Peyre St Front. Sarah and Nic were great hosts. Friendly, responsive and very helpful. The house and grounds were beautiful, as described and probably the best equipped French property I have ever stayed in. The village is beautiful and the area quiet and unspoilt
A wonderful base to explore base to explore the Dordogne
The property was perfect for our family holiday. There was plenty to see and do within a short drive and the pool and outdoor space provided the ideal place to relax and enjoy the beautiful weather. Sarah and Nick are fantastic hosts and gave us lots of useful recommendations during our stay. They are on hand if needed but the house still feels very private. The house is very well equipped and 5 minutes walk from a lovely village. The restaurant is a must visit.
We had a fabulous stay at Sarah & Nic's house. We stayed during one of the heatwaves hitting France so it was too hot to do many of the things we had planned but the fabulous pool and its setting, where we spent most of our time, meant that we didn't lose out. The outdoor kitchen was fab with a sink, hob, fridge, dishwasher, kettle etc and is very well equipped and thankfully in the shade so there really is no need to use the kitchen inside. Sarah and Nic were excellent hosts being on hand with help, tips or advice if needed but always respecting your privacy. The generous welcome pack was a lovely surprise - these used to be common place years ago but seem to have fallen away and we really appreciated that. We were there during Bastille week & Sarah left info for us about the local festivities. Sadly most were cancelled due to the heat but it meant we had more time to relax by the pool. The location is a great base with lots of things to do nearby or within a short drive. It was too hot for us to make the most of them but we did enjoy a short trip to Perigueux and had lunch at the beautiful Chateau Hautefort which we would recommend. The local restaurant, shop and bar are also a 10 minute stroll away. We did struggle to sleep at night due to the high temperatures but there were fans in the house. The house also has Sky TV but we never used it as spent all our time between the fabulous pool and outdoor kitchen! Thanks again to Sarah and Nic for a fabulous stay!
Sarah and Nick were so welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The gite is charming and it feels like a home away from home. Its well stocked and full of little thoughtful touches. the outdoor space is incredible we spent most of our time in the garden playing in the pool and sitting by the river. The outdoor kitchen is a god send and makes it easy to live outside. We miss our morning walks for the bread and coffee at the sports spa. Theres a lot to visit nearby we’d recommend a night in Perigeaux and a visit to Jean St de Cole. Thiviers is the nearest town great food at Le Goch. A perfect family holiday.
The Gite had everything we needed and the outside kitchen was perfect. Inside was really cool considering the weather- temperatures were in the 40’s !! The pool was a godsend. Sarah and her husband were really friendly and helpful. Considering the weather we found the bedrooms really hot during the night and some air conditioning in these rooms would have made a real difference.
A lovely French house with a fantastic garden, terrace and pool. Friendly and helpful hosts. So much to do in the area and definitely worth a return visit.
We had a very enjoyable stay at Sarah & Nic’s, who were super attentive and helpful in facilitating our stay. The gite was lovely and cool despite the very warm weather, and the pool was perfect for a cooling dip. The village is only a short walk away, and now we’re home, we’re very much missing our morning stroll for coffee ans croissants! What a beautiful part of the world - we’ll be back!
Wonderful welcome from Sarah on arrival, absolutely fabulous gite, generous welcome pack, gorgeous internal decor, well equipped outside kitchen and pool area. Both Sarah and Nic were extremely friendly and generous hosts, with fantastic knowledge of the area and great suggestions of things to do in all weathers. We will definitely return and cannot recommend highly enough.
We had a lovely week here - 2 adults and 8 and 6 yr old girls. Excellent communication from Sarah. House, garden and outdoor pool were lovely, with a river flowing at the bottom of the garden. Village was just minutes walk away with plenty to see and do in the surrounding area (car essential). This was our third time to this area and we will be back again!
We had the perfect relaxing week. The property is exactly as described and Sarah and Nic were exceptionally friendly and helpful. We stayed with three children aged between 14 to 5 with the aim to relax from our busy work/school lives and maximise family time. The property was perfect - we prepared and ate every meal outside (having bought fresh bread in mornings from walking distance village) and the pool was perfect for playing and keeping cool. Despite temperatures reaching mid-30s all week, bedrooms were comfortable and cool, we all slept well.No negatives.Thank you Sarah and Nic.

Petit coin de paradis
We are so pleased to have found this delightful old French house which has been refurbished and very tastefully decorated/furnished to a high standard. Even better, its just a short walk to picturesque Corgnac which has restaurants, café-bars, and a few shops that reinforce the feeling of being part of rural village life.
There is so much to do, places to visit, sights to see – we wished we could stay for a month. After busy days out it was always good to return to the house to relax. Most evening , after a dip in the pool, we enjoyed cooking /eating on the covered terrace followed by a peaceful stroll down the garden to the river.
Sarah and Nic are the perfect hosts and we are grateful to them for telling us about all the best places to visit, eat etc. They have the perfect holiday home too !!

The Perfect Gite!
My family of six adults had a brilliant time and Sarah and Nic were so welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. The gite had the perfect accommodation for us and we loved the pool, garden and field which we used for playing French cricket. It was so lovely to have the outside kitchen and eat every meal in the fresh air. We loved the velorail, visits to the evening food market at Perigeaux, Brantomes, St. Jean de Coles, Jumilhac Le Grand and Hautefort. We won't forget being there when France won the football World Cup. It was great to hear the cheering villagers when France scored and the subsequent scooter horns!! Thank you Sarah and Nic.
We had a fantastic 12 nights at this gite in the village of Corgnac Sur L'isle.
Nick and Sarah are fantastic hosts that live on-site and are incredibly helpful. We traveled with 2 young children and struggled using our baby monitor with the thick walls of the gite. They provided a camera to help us keep an eye on the kids while we enjoyed the amazing garden in the evenings.
The village is small but incredibly friendly and picturesque. It's near the town of Thiviers and we'd thoroughly recommend their Saturday market.
If anything, the photos perhaps don't do the gite justice. We got to have exclusive use of the 4-acre garden, pool and amazing outdoor kitchen.
It's a lovely and relaxing part of France, and we'd definitely come again.
The house has a lovely rustic home from home feel.Maintained in a sympathetic old style French way.The house is easily big enough to accommodate 6 people with fully fitted out functional kitchen,large lounge with comfortable seating for maybe 10 guests.we found the beds too were very comfortable for all.
The outside space to the rear is a fantastic huge area with fully functional covered kitchen and proper BBQ kit/facility
There is a good table and seating area for outside meals with very large quality umbrella if required.
The separate pool and area again was fantastic.Good quality comfortable sun loungers with again quality umbrellas
The pool itself was a really good size,clean and refreshing.
The garden then extends a long way down to a small river but creates a massive space for family games.
Overall a very nice relaxing stay ,lovely accommodation,great rear outside area with pool that made it for us.
My only request would have been to have some garden game accessories to play with on the large lawned garden area,ie football,base ball bats,cricket set etc.
We would (4 adults) definitely recommend a stay
Geweldig ontvangst van Sarah. De ontvangkorf bij aankomst is een zeer leuke attentie. Een charmant en gezellig huis. De buitenkeuken en de pergola zijn zeker een meerwaarde. Mooie onderhouden tuin en een zeer proper zwembad.

Agréable séjour dans cette propriété où nous avons beaucoup apprécié la piscine et la cuisine extérieure. Seul bémol : il faut contourner la propriété pour accéder au jardin et à la piscine qui se situent à l’arrière (il n’y a pas d’accès direct)
