"This little house is in an idyllc setting, just 6 miles or so from the the Dordogne river, with rolling hills in every direction. We both loved the views and the peace and quiet.There were issues with the property: (i) the double bed had a single duvet cover - not ideal when my husband is 6ft 2" and 20 stone (ii) the kitchen area is situated in the chimney breast. The lintel over the chimney breast is only about 5ft 3" - fine for me, but hopeless for my husband. He banged his head innumerable times (iii) the sofa was a sofa bed. It did not work as a bed, as it appeared to be broken and it was not very comfortable as a sofa"

"We absolutely loved our stay at this property and would absolutely stay here again / recommend the property to friends. The property exceeded our expectations from the pictures of the interior which are quite old. The downstairs is spacious and comfortable and the kitchen was large and well stocked with lots of plates, glasses, cutlery, cups etc. There are lots of games available to play. We took a plug in cool box with us as other reviews had mentioned that the fridge is a bit small and this worked well. There is lots of freezer space though. We also took an electric fan for the top floor bedroom which was very warm but fine with the fan. The outside area was lovely and the covered pool really brilliant. We loved exploring the surrounding area and there was a lot to do within a half hour radius. The beautiful town of Salers and the walk to the top of Puy Mary, the lovely beaches at Le lac des Orgues, waterfall walks, a maize maze, farm shops to visit and the wonderful Jardin Deliarant which runs workshops for kids in the holidays.Alexis the host was really friendly and came back to any questions we had promptly. We would love to return to the property one day as it felt like home from home. The only thing we would change is maybe upgrade the metal framed bunk bed in he 3rd bedroom as this was quite uncomfortable for a longer stay,"

"Bon petit-déjeuner "

"Beautiful location. great pool."

"Love this place and the house but the beds are too firm. If the beds were softer then it would be a solid 10/10 the pool hasn’t been available when we have been in April and October. Hot tub is in property next door and needs to be booked in advance at an extra 95. Nearest shop is 20 mins drive. But fantastic house, area and amenities. Merci beaucoup Valerie eat Jackques"
