Photos and Description of this Tourtoirac holiday farmhouse Self-catering in 200-yr-old Farmhouse, sleeps 12 or Superb barn, sleeps 8.

Les Taloches is paradise for children of all ages with 19 acres of wood and meadow to explore, yet within walking distance of the pretty riverside village of Tourtoirac. In an unspoilt area of the Dordogne, it is close to the fairytale château of Hautefort. Gracing two sides of a large, lime-tree shaded courtyard are the oak-beamed farmhouse - La Châtaigne - and a huge stone barn - La Grange - now transformed into a superb house. Both are self-contained for privacy - each has its own large private pool, secluded garden and separate drive. Also on site, for the energetic, there is an adventure play area, badminton, table tennis, a games room and bikes, but the lovely location is ideally rural for those who just want to relax in the sunshine.

Details for La Châtaigne 5 Bedrooms, Sleeps 12, 4 Bathrooms, 2 Separate Toilets

A picturesque old house with beams, exposed stonework and open fires. It is a large house with plenty of comfortable living space for large parties and all the mod cons for a comfortable holiday. The enormous kitchen has additional dining space and opens on to a big south-facing terrace overlooking the private pool and lovely countryside. The terrace has lighting for the night, a barbecue and a vine covered shady area. It is a perfect location for a relaxing sun downer. The terrace can be made secure for small children and of course the pool has secure safety fencing. Three of the five bedrooms are ensuite and some are heavily beamed - mind your head! We welcome children and provide equipment for babies and toddlers and plenty of games and activities for older children

Superb!!

Chief Bridesmaid Kent, England.
Review Submitted: August 20, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Visted in August 2009. I bought ten hens and a bride-to-be to La Chataigne for some girly giggles and relaxation! Well, it was perfect! A beautiful house with all the facilities we needed. There was room enough for us all to gather in the open plan kitchen, we could all sit round the fabulous dining table to eat in doors and many a night we ate alfesco on the patio! The pool was a winner and the pool toys provided added extra fun. With only a short walk into the village and all the grounds to walk around we had plenty to occupy us. It was a week we will all treasure!
Owner's Response: Thank you for the excellent review 'Chief Bridesmaid'. We were particularly pleased you were able to use our Summer Kitchen for your actual party - which looked truly splendid with your extra decorations. We hope to see you and the bride again in the future - with your families! - as Les Taloches is so perfect for children.

escape to the country

bonviveur08 london
Review Submitted: April 15, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2008
We had a week here with family and friends and throughly enjoyed ourselves. The pace of life slowed down beautifully - lots of time for cooking in the big open-plan kitchen, long lunches in the shade on the terrace overlooking the pool, a stroll before supper in the woods on the hill, and barbecues by night before stargazing and restful sleep. The building is full of French charm and character, clean, well-decorated and with all mod cons. Bedrooms have comfy beds, with great spaces downstairs for socialising. There's a hefty swimming pool too. The whole thing is on a rolling hillside, screened off from a small road by trees - you really feel like you're well away from any hustle and bustle - yet it's just a short walk to the local village for bread and beers. Jo and John were excellent hosts - helpful, welcoming and with fantastic local knowledge. Get them to point you in the direction of the foie gras restaurant!
Owner's Response: So glad you enjoyed your stay. Lots of our guests are keen cooks so we have made sure that the kitchen is very well-equipped. Barbecues on the wll-lit terrace are a great favourite.

Highly Recommended!!

Jenny B. Martock,Somerset,UK
Review Submitted: April 14, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2008
We were a party of six (older) ladies, and we enjoyed a most excellent stay in the Barn at Les Taloches in June 2008. You cannot fault any aspect; we were all most appreciative of the lovely furnishings - most particularly that wonderful baronial table! The weather wasn't good, so evenings we had imagined around the pool were instead happy sprawlings before roaring log fires with books from the library upstairs. We made good use of the games room- huge fun- as well as exploring this lovely area. Very highly recommended.

What more is there to say! I agree with all three of the previous reviews. I have sadly only been once in '08 but would love to return. We went in the height of the summer so it was lovely to just relax by the pool but we did manage several local must see sights on Jo's recommendations. We were part of a large group of people all of different ages (two small children) & activity levels but everyone was catered for. Superb. You find it exactly as advertised here.

Ideal self catering holiday destination

Kathryn C Leeds, UK
Review Submitted: March 31, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2008
Having enjoyed two summer holidays at les taloches I would not hesitate in recommending it as a holiday destinations for large groups either with or without children. The accomodation and facilities are excellent combining traditonal French country charm with modern amenities. Both properties are well maintained and the owners Jo and John are excellent hosts, striking a good balance between being available and giving their guests space and privacy to enjoy their holiday.
