Beautiful gite in the Dordogne

Phil and Gill Stirling, Scotland, UK
Review Submitted: August 1, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
The property was clean, charming and full of old character, as was the whole grouping of properties and estate. The layout around a courtyard was beautiful, and the gardens and flowers gave the feeling of an oasis! The swimming pool was large enough to swim properly in, clean, and well maintained. The pool bar (with TV) was a welcome, cool retreat with the option of shaded tables within full view of the pool to watch the kids playing safely.

The location provided surprisingly easy access to the Dordogne Valley (~10 minutes to Soirac, 30 minutes to Castenaud) and we would recommend Belves and particularly Monpazier for a visit and dining (both ~ 5 miles away).

The customer service was exceptional - Finbar and Helen were wonderful hosts throughout and nothing seemed too much trouble - always available, friendly and welcoming but never intrusive. They hosted a communal BBQ on the Sunday night which gave us a chance to meet other guests, we borrowed their bikes and they lent us maps of the local area. Their 3 children were a delight and great companions for our two sons aged 6 & 8 who even joined them for a bit of pony trekking on the last day of the holiday!


Thanks again to Finbar, Helen and family for a great holiday.

Owner's Response: We are always gratified to receive such warm reviews!

Our barbecues are a casual affair where everyone brings something and Finbarr does the barbecuing!
The bikes work hard through the summer as the children put them to good use and can safely circuit the site.

a little piece of paradise

Tania*** Milton Keynes
Review Submitted: February 20, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2007
What a fantastic holiday we had at L'Echapee Verte. The decription on the website was extremely accurate, very peaceful and pretty. Our son Max had a great time with the other children including Helen & Finbar's 3 children, in fact we didnt see a great deal of him (I even managed to read 4 books in a week)!!
Helen and Finbar did a great BBQ for all the guests on the Sunday evening which was a great idea as we all got talking to one another. The swimming pool and childrens facitilies were excellent.
The local town was very nice and had some very nice restaurants.
L'Echapee Verte was very well placed and within a short drive we were canoeing or visiting castles. I would highly recommend L'Echapee Verte and hope to go back again soon.
Best wishes

A great relaxing holiday

Lorraine, Sean and Theo Gloucestershire
Review Submitted: February 18, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2007
We had a great holiday at L' Echappe Verte. The location is perfect - peaceful but not isolated and within easy reach of the Dordogne's best attractions.
Our 6 year old loved the freedom to roam and cycle around the grounds, which are completely safe and child- friendly and the O'Brien kids made some very welcome play mates for him!
Finbarr and Helen couldn't have been better hosts - nothing is too much trouble and they throw a great BBQ!!
We would certainly recommend L'Echappe Verte as a great place to stay!

What a wonderful place, everything you could want from a bit of peace and quiet to medieval market towns to canoeing and Karting. Belves is a picture postcard french village. Finbarr and Helen provide a very open and warm welcome. Complete Bliss! (Claire & Stan Robinson, W Midlands)

... We have had 2 wonderful relaxing weeks, the pool is great and the barbecues are a great way to get to know everyone! The children had great fun playing with the O'Brien kids and all the others (Clare & Gilles Spagnolo and family (Macon, France)

Met all our expectations. Peaceful ++, Wildlife +++. It lives up to its name. Walter & Margaret Carey (Scotland)
