Book a Lanouaille Cottage

"The property wasn't quite ready for us, so we moved to the owners other property for the rest of our stay which was fab. Yvan always goes out of his way to make sure our stay is the best."

"We stayed here in France, the property was lovely; it was clean and quiet allowing us to relax. Thanks for a great stay!"

"Absolutely gorgeous property.Lovely welcome gift and such a nice welcome for our family.The hosts are around if you ever need them, but we didn't as everything was perfect.The house, the pool and the garden were lovely and well kept.We will definitely look to return.Lots to do in the area as well."

"Great location for people who are interested in history. There are lots of sites to visit within 40-50 minutes drive. The weather was mixed but we still managed to swim in the pool every day even though it was unheated. Good range of walks as well. "

"This is a good place to stay if you value some peace and quiet. It is secluded in woodland, and there is very little traffic on the nearby road. The grounds are extensive but for the most part overgrown and inaccessible to all but the intrepid. The pool area layout is excellent and probably the best thing about the property, we spent lots of time down there. The pool itself is very well-maintained and a pleasure to swim in, day or night.The house has character and has been furnished in a quirky way with some interesting antique-style objects, which might not be to everyone's taste. There are hundreds of books but almost all are in French. Rooms are large and the furnishings comfortable. The kitchen is well-equipped but we were surprised not to find a more modern corkscrew, it being France.The nearby town of Montignac was a pleasant surprise, the old parts being very attractive. There is a good range of restaurants, encouraging us to eat out every night.All in all, we enjoyed our stay here. "

"We had a fabulous 2 week stay at La Maison du Bonheur. We couldn't fault the beautiful property and surroundings. The pool was perfect for the hot weather we experienced. Cathy and her family were great, generous hosts. Getting a tour of their bee hives was a particular highlight! Overall, would highly recommend"

"We had a nice holiday after the first couple of days sorting out missing items, some grimey kitchen stuff & dirty outdoor furniture (spiders nests under outdoor table). Lovely pool (hole in one corner of liner covered by duct tape) & garden with lots of trees providing shady areas. Beware screws sticking up in decking, loose tiles & rickety gate. Garden needed work as lots of dead plants. Double room in cottage very dirty & full of spiders & webs. Requested them to clean that room after the first night, which they did. Missing parasols (provided after request) No fans in bedrooms (provided after request). Kitchen stocked well of most items needed but only 3 dinner knives (more provided after request). BBQ was disgusting, we bought grills to cook on. Shutters & windows of bedrooms could be opened but sound of ripping spider webs put one off doing this. In between windows and shutters has not been cleaned for years! Only 1 shower cubicle in attic. 1 hand shower (no screen or curtain) in bath on 1st floor. 1 shower over bath with screen in small cottage. Overall a lot of maintenance & thorough cleaning required. It's in the country so insects expected but what we found was unacceptable! As we were leaving the owners told us we had to clean or pay them 150 to do this. No mention of this in details or on arrival. Owners got very unpleasant when we disagreed. Description of house is misleading. Not waterfront, no a/c except 2 x portable units in attic. Overall a shame really."
