6/10 Okay

Ruth G., Strasbourg, France

Lovely gite but the welcome could have been better
The gite is very comfortable and well-furnished, the only downside is poor noise insulation between top floors and bottom floors. But our welcome on arrival from Paul was very disappointing - five of us arrived instead of the planned four but rather than wait to hear the reason and short duration of the additional person Paul threw the rulebook at us and turned a minor blip into a source of tension - particularly unwelcome after a long drive. Over the week Anita made up for this as she is most welcoming and helpful.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Cool cottage
Great gite had everything you need for a quiet stay and only 5 minutes drive to Hautefort, the heat was excessive that week but had no problems in sleeping the bedrooms being on the ground floor, definitely go back if we have summers with temperatures up to 40 degrees.

Very clean, well equipped cottage
We chose this cottage because it had two double bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. My friend and I are both widows and like our own space. There was a bit of confusion when we arrived as one of the bedrooms had two single beds, but this was rectified the following day. The cottage is ideal for two couples or a small family. The bedrooms are downstairs as are the toilets which was a little “inconvenient “. The cottage is well equipped and is close to Hautefort with it’s impressive castle. The etang de coucou and the restaurant was worth a visit. We had very good weather for the week,with just a little rain on the Friday afternoon. We didn’t see much of Paul and Anita as we wanted a relaxing week ,and didn’t want too many outings, but when we did see them , we found them friendly. The only problem we had during the week was the internet which was not working very well. All in all we would recommend this cottage both for a restful holiday or as a base from which to explore the area.

Lovely and extremely well presented gite,warm welcome from Paul & Anita on arrival.Great setting and very peaceful with lots of activities around the area. Paul & Anita were very helpful in recommending local markets and events, but were not intrusive in any way. The gite was well equipped with everything you would need making it an excellent holiday and would love to return.

Wonderful Mirabelle!
We spent a fortnight in this delightful, superbly equipped, spotlessly clean gite in beautiful grounds. The weather was very warm and we ate all our meals on the decking patio which had the luxury of some overhead shading. Everything we needed for our comfort was provided (including a teapot!!) Although Mirabelle adjoins the owners property we always had privacy but Anita and Paul were delightful hosts and were available if ever we needed to approach them. Some wonderful places to visit and at the end of a day it was a joy to return to this peaceful, idyllic 'home'.We feel we have made two friends and we would happily return and recommend this property to anyone!

Beyone expectations
Paul and Anita are the most welcoming hosts and friendliest of people; you can spend ages chatting and they went out there way to help and give advice of the area. The house has been renovated to a very high spec. The beds are really comfy and the amenities easy to use. We spent most of our time relaxing on the deck watching the sun go down sampling the local red wine. You will have a great stay here! and I look forward to retuning soon.

Excellent self contained gite
The property was amazing, as were the owners and were very helpful in advising of where to visit and what to see in the area (Sarlat is a must!). The gite is well equipped and maintained to a very high standard and the terrace is great for evening dining. Paul and Anita were very welcoming hosts, as was Treacle the dog! The area itself is very quiet and within easy driving distance of many nice towns and villages. We would definitely stay again.

A lovely place to stay
This is an immaculately modernised but characterful gite, with great facilities. It is in a beautiful and peaceful countryside setting, yet only minutes from a good boulangerie, and from enjoyable restaurants in nearbye Hautefort. There is a wide range of things to see and do in the area, and the excellent English hosts, Paul and Anita, have years of experience to be able to advise their guests. Very enjoyable!

Perfect vakantiehuis voor 4 personen, 5-sterren verblijf voor 3-sterren prijs, prachtig gerenoveerd
Dit huisje heeft het allemaal, een geweldig terras (groot, schaduwrijk, intiem en genoeg plek voor zonaanbidders), een goed uitgeruste grote keuken, sfeervolle eet- en woonkamer waar onze kinderen hele legosteden bouwden (bedankt Paul & Anita voor het lenen van LEGO en blokken!) en koele slaapvertrekken met eigen badkamers, groot, schoon en mooi opgeknapt met natuursteen in de stijl van de regio. De sfeer van het huis is zo leuk en uitnodigend dat je je meteen thuis voelt. Tegelijk ben je van alle comfort voorzien en is het zo schoon en met aandacht opgeknapt dat je je verwend voelt als in een duur hotel. Paul en Anita zijn heel aardig en discreet en tegelijk heel benaderbaar voor allerhande tips of gewoon een praatje. De omgeving is mooi, gevarieerd, genoeg te beleven op cultureel gebied (leuke stadjes, kastelen, grotten, marktjes en festiviteiten) en op sportief gebied. De regio is bevolkt door een interessante mix van locale Fransen, Engelsen, Schotten, Amerikanen en Nederlanders. We hadden geluk met het mooie weer en maakten vele plannen die we vervolgens niet uitvoerden omdat de kinderen genoeg hadden aan hun zwembadje op het terras en wij aan een ligstoel met boek.... Bedankt Paul & Anita, we komen zeker terug!

A really enjoyable week
The weather was sometimes warm, sometimes a little hotter and we really enjoyed the week, some of it spent in the garden and some of it visiting the nearby attractions. We particularly enjoyed Perigueux, Bourdeilles, Brantome, Hautefort, Excideuil, Segur le Chateau, Terrasson and Saint Robert. There are lots of lovely villages and chateaux to see. The holiday cottage, to one side of the main house, was spotlessly clean and well equipped and gave plenty of privacy in the garden area. Thank you Anita and Paul for being so welcoming, for the surprise walnuts and also for letting us stay in your lovely cottage.
