Great place!
We had a wonderful week. The place was so beautiful and peaceful. There are many great day trips and it is just nice to hang out as well. Our hosts were very responsive before our arrival and provided much useful information after we arrived.

We had a thoroughly enjoyable week here. David and Katy were perfect hosts, a mine of information about local things to do. We thoroughly recommend the hot air balloon ride, and well as bike hire.

Twelve heavenly days in the Perigord region!
What a lovely stay at Les Fleurs with the best hosts ever- Katie and David. From booking to arrival - communication was timely and helpful. On our arrival to Les fleurs, David was waiting with Prosecco and nibbles! He gave us a lovely tour of the house and property that made us feel welcome and comfortable! David and Katie have the gift of being available for questions/ suggestions- and then totally out of sight. They are masters of hospitality! Les fleurs itself is a charming 3 bedroom, 2 bath farmhouse with a well stocked kitchen , that came with basics for getting started! The Woodstove was great as it was still a bit chilly in the evenings/ mornings. The local village about 15 minute walk away had a great butcher shop - purchased veal , lamb and chicken, and two small grocery stores that were well stocked! We cooked in most evenings and had lunch out whiling touring the area. My favorite part of the stay - sitting on the porch, listening to the sheep, and other wildlife. What a delightful place to relax and unwind!!

A privileged place in the Periogrd
Bourgale with its guest houses proved to be the splendid treasure described in the VRBO listing. What a privilege to spend a week in such a magical setting close to all the castles, chateaus, formal gardens, medieval hamlets, and extraordinary cave paintings for which the Perigord is justly famous. And yet to also feel you're off the tourist track and being treated like a family friend. Katie and David Dean helped us in countless ways and even made sure we headliner makinggs when we had to drive all the way from Paris because our train was cancelled during the rail strike. The town of Villefranche-du-Perigord itself proved to be charming like so many other historic villages and hamlets but it was the personal attention rendered by our hosts that made the stay so exceptional. Our guest quarters, Les Fleurs were well appointed and with two bedrooms and two baths, perfect for two retired couples traveling together. We enjoyed feeding the chickens each morning and checking on the flock of sheep across the road. Pure Heaven! We are immensely grateful to the Deans because they run their operation with their hearts. We hope to return as many other guests have in the past.

A great family holiday
We spent a week at Les Fleurs in late September as a three generational family for which it was ideal. From a 60+ yr old to 14 mth old. The facilities were excellent and saved our son and daughter in law from having to bring equipment on the plane. David and Katie provided all that was needed including stairgate protection for the verandah at the front of Les Fleurs. The location was beautiful being surrounded by the estate parkland and with the woods at the back- all part of Bourgale. We visited vineyards in both Cahors and Bergerac appellations, as well as the nearby Bastide villages. Sarlat (an hour away) had a great market on Wednesday, with an even bigger one on Saturdays. Nearest Carrefours was 40 mins for a big shop but all day to day items could be bought in Villefranche which is less than a Km downhill. Excellent village butcher as well as two patisserie and general store which had a good selection of local wines and craft beers. In this part of the Dordogne you are unlikely to run out of places to visit. The swimming pool was much enjoyed by our grand daughter who loved feeding the chickens and geese (several times a day). David and Katie were brilliant - offering help and advice when necessary but also being unobtrusive so we were almost unaware of them being there. They were very kind, helpful and interested and we really enjoyed meeting them. The real test is, given the number of other possible locations, would we book again? Within two week of returning I had booked Les Fleurs for a week and Le Noyer for two weeks for early June 2018.

Gorgeous property in the French countryside.
This peaceful property had everything we needed and was close to many lovely French towns and villages. The owners were there for tips and advice on what to do in the region. The pool, property and grounds were excellent.

Amazing
The location is breathtaking, the welcome so warm it even melted away 6hrs drive with a screaming baby, the accommodation was top notch everything you could need and of a lovely finish, with its own undeniable style. The hosts and their family are naturals all warm welcoming helpful and fun, with great local tips and loads of ideas for things to do and places to go. An ideal Base if you want to go out and explore, but equally so if you fancy just getting away from it all, eating some amazing food and watching the sunset while sipping a great local wine. We'll definitely be going back.

Excellent stay
We stayed for a week in late May. Dave and Katie are excellent hosts. They live on the property and are available to make suggestions and respond to questions. Les Fleurs met our needs (2 grandparents, 2 parents and 2 children). Shady front porch, outside dining and swimming pool nice amenities. It's a wonderful place for children - lots of room to run around and chickens to feed. Villefranche du Perigord has all of one's needs: two fine boulangeries, grocery markets, liquor stores with good wine and locally made artisan beers! It's an historic town with none of the tourism that overwhelms Monpazier. It is a great area for bikers: lots of side roads with very little traffic. And the famous Dordogne sites are only 30 minutes away. Jon Halverson

Fantastic location and outlook, very relaxing but lots to do nearby if wanted. Eggs are eggcellent !
A great Gite in a lovely location, near enough to the village to walk but far enough away to be tranquil. Entertaining Geese and chickens who produce eggcellent eggs Thanks David and Katie for your hospitality

Beautiful house in serene surroundings.
We stayed in the larger of the two gites and were delighted. Spotless, well equipped and comfortable. We were travelling with two teenagers and a 9 year old and the entire group were very satisfied. Katie and Dave were informative, helpful and entertaining from the first email, until we left.Together with their children, they are the perfect hosts, absolutely 5 🌟.
