Excellent Dordogne Sechoir.
Review Submitted: September 16, 2009
Date of Stay: June 2009
We spent a wonderful fortnight in June 2009 in this beautifully restored barn conversion. Surrounded by picturesque and rolling countryside near the river Dordogne,
the location was ideal for visiting the many nearby attractions.A few kilometres from the house is the village of Grolejac with retsaurants,post office and shops and canoe hire on the river.About 40mins away is the beautiful city of Sarlat with supermarkets and one of the best Saturday markets in France. The surrounding area is packed with places of interest Domme,Beynac,Roque de Cageac, and the wonderful gardens of Marquesac and Eyerignac and (our favourite) the Cadiot gardens.
The house was very comfortable,clean, and well equipped with a nice balcony off the main bedroom for al fresco dining and
another area to the front of the house ,complete with barbeque ,for dinner under the stars. This would be an ideal
house for a couple or a family with two children.The nearby
river provides lots of opportunities for swimming,canoeing and fishing and there are lots of places for riverside picnics.
A guided tour of the river on a traditonal barque from Roque Cageac is not to be missed!
The owners of the property Mark and Melanie,who live in the adjacent farmhouse are very friendly,helpful and unobtrusive, but there if you need them.
Drawbacks: None really except for the lack of a freezer compartment in the fridge for those holiday essentials,Ice cream and ice cubes!
We would happily recommend this house and location for
a wonderful rental!
