Des vacances formidables

Nous avons passés de merveilleuses vacances dans la maison d'Andrew et Bridget. La maison est très spacieuse et fonctionnelle. La pisicine est très grande et dispose d'un abris permettant une sécurité optimale.  L' environnement est calme et reposant.  Même si Andrew était absent, il nous a conseillé tout au long de notre séjour pour organiser nos visites. Bridget a été disponible à chaque instant pour nous et a fait preuve d'une grande bienveillance à l'égard de nos enfants. Tous étaient prévus pour eux : trampoline, table de ping-pong, jeux divers... Je recommande cette location sans aucune hésitation !!! Envoyé depuis mon appareil Galaxy

Lovely relaxing holiday

A very comfortable and well equipped gite, there was everything we needed and the pool was fabulous. The owners were friendly and very knowledgeable, Andrew popped across every day to check in with us and gave some really good suggestions of things we could do. If you aren’t comfortable speaking French he also offered to help with reservations. We had a lovely fortnight and came home refreshed and ready to face the world again!

Pour Profiter en famille

Hébergement agréable et bien équipé pour 3 familles (3 chambres avec SdeB + WC). L'hébergement est doté d'une très agréable piscine d'eau salée avec chaises longues en nombre. A noter cependant que les 2 chambres sous toiture avaient une température difficilement supportable (période de canicule). Une climatisation serait bienvenue. Quelques soucis électriques à revoir, bien que n'engageant pas la sécurité.

Gîte parfait. Hôtes bienveillants.

Agréable séjour passé avec des conseils de visites et de restaurants fournis par Andrew et Bridget. 3 chambres avec SdB et équipements complets. Même une multitude de jeux et jouets pour occuper les enfants quelque soit leur âge. Piscine à disposition appréciée au retour de chaudes balades. Commerces à proximité (petite épicerie à 2 mn en vélo, supermarchés à 15-20 mn en voiture). À recommander sans hésitation.

Fabulous Gite!

We had a fabulous week here- the gite is extremely comfortable and well equipped and was beautifully clean and the pool area was lovely too. Our hosts Andrew and Bridget were incredibly friendly and helpful with ideas of what to do in the region and couldn’t have done more for us during our stay. Location was really good for lots of different activities and situated in a beautiful part of France. Would highly recommend a stay here- we would love to come back! Great for a family or group of friends of all ages.

GREAT STAY!

Many thanks for such a great stay. The villa and its amenities were fantastic. Very clean and a home from home one of the best villas for facilities I have stayed at. Andrew was very accommodating and knowledgeable of the area. There was plenty of room in the villa and probably the best beds I have slept in whilst away. Also the bedroom downstairs has a wall and not a curtain which it said in the villas description which we were a little worried about but there was no need to be. The area was quiet and there was a restaurant in St Rabier but the village itself was very quiet. The neighbouring village of Hautefort was lovely and we visited the chateau there and had something to eat. All was lovely. We had a wonderful time and we left feeling completely relaxed and recharged.

Maison impeccable comportant tous les équipements de confort avec une très belle piscine. Notre hôte, Andrew, fait tout pour que ses locataires se sentent comme chez eux et ne manquent de rien. Il vous recommandera sur les joyaux du Périgord à visiter et à déguster. Un excellent séjour en famille.

Als je van rust en kalmte wil genieten op het platteland is dit een leuk adres. De gite op het grote domein van Andrew en Bridget Is ruim en heeft een mooi zwembad; de overkapping, die niet op de website staat, is niet zo leuk qua zicht, maar zorgt er wel voor dat het water lekker warm,is, ook Als het weer wat minder is. Andrew is een attente host die niet nalaat om dagelijks even te checken of alles ok is

Vacances parfaites en famille

Nous avons passé deux semaines merveilleuses! La maison est spacieuse et confortable, tout ou presque est fourni (draps, serviettes) et la cuisine est très bien équipée, ce qui est extrêment appréciable. Andrew est plein de charmantes attentions et de très bons conseils sur les endroits à visiter! Nous connaissions Lascaux mais avons découvert le gouffre de Padirac grâce à lui : une merveille. En résumé région superbe, adaptée pour toutes sortes d'activités, maison et hôtes accueillants = vacances parfaites!

A break from it all!

We had a lovely holiday. The house was clean, tidy, nicely furnished and well-equipped and is in a good location to get to a lot of interesting places. The owners, who are onsite, are very friendly and knowledgeable and were able to give a lot of advice on where to go and what to do. We wanted a relaxing break, so we didn't do very much. However, the highlight of the trip was attending the Fete de la Noix in Nailhac - a fantastic experience and one we would have missed without the local knowledge. The house was comfortable for four people (as we were) and six would have been fine. Any more than that would be a stretch and the curtained-off bedroom downstairs means that the accommodation needs careful thought. The pool was nicely maintained and at a pleasant temperature and there is a paved area around with chairs and loungers which we used quite a lot. There is a nice restaurant in St Rabier, but for most things we needed to get in the car, with supermarkets in Hautefort and Thenon and smaller shops a similar distance away.

Great vacation home!!!

We had a wonderful time in Dordogne. The Gite is well equipped, lots of space and very nice decoration. The location is great to visit all around the dordogne with a car. The pool and gardens all around the gite are breathtaking!!! Andrew is a very warm and helpful host. He took care of all of our needs and wishes before we even asked... our 3 children and us were really sad to leave. It was fantastic and we will recommend our friends to stay there and hope we will come back and stay there again!!! Thank you Andrew and Bridgitte it was wonderful!!!!!! Kovos family

5 SUR 5

Nous avons passé un très bon week end de l’ascension. Nous nous sommes retrouvés avec nos enfants, nous étions 6. Chacun avait sa chambre avec sa salle de bains et nous pouvions nous retrouver dans la grande pièce à vivre. Nous avons pu profiter de la piscine. Même notre chien a passé un agréable moment.... dommage qu'Andrew n'a pas de potion magique pour arrêter le temps dans son petit havre de paix....

Un gîte paradisiaque

Nous avons passé une inoubliable semaine en famille dans le gîte des Courtissous qui est très bien agencé et agréable à vivre. Chacune des deux chambres à l'étage sont accompagnées de leur propre salle de bain et toilettes. La literie est excellente. La salle de séjour est immense et la cuisine est très bien organisée. Il n'y a aucun manquement matériel et la piscine est excellente. L'endroit est calme et très reposant. Nous avons été 7 personnes à y séjourner, dont 4 enfants. L'un de nos enfants est en fauteuil roulant et nous n'avons eu aucun mal à se déplacer et à gérer nos habitudes. En effet, une petite chambre avec lit double, salle de bain et toilettes, sont en bas du gîte. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié l'accueil chaleureux et amical d'Andrew et de Bridget qui sont absolument disponibles pour toutes informations ou pour tous conseils. Nous recommandons vivement ce gîte. Merci beaucoup pour ces merveilleuses vacances!

What makes this property unique

We are locals, we live here and we know the region well and the best places to go at the right time. We know what to avoid. We will recommend unknown places for tourists and holiday-makers that are not locals and places that are not mentioned in books or guides, places that only inhabitants know.

We are extremely flexible. The only thing we cannot control is the weather which is not a problem. If it is raining, we offer you to take your car and to visit some picturesque sites such as the Lascaux Caves, the National Prehistory Museum, the Château de Beynac, the Château de Hautefort, etc.

Just ask us. We are from this area and we know almost everything that can be done in this region. If you want to try cooking classes or to play golf, etc. we can organise it for you.
