The property description is accurate for location, layout and amenities. It has only recently been renovated and so is clean & well maintained. Excellent "customer service" from the owners. The area is full of lovely affordable restaurants, bars & cafes. There are many locations from which canoes can be hired for use on the Dordogne & Vereze rivers. There are simply too many historic towns & villages to mention but we would strongly recommend Sarlat & Monpazier (and all the Bastide towns). If you love markets then visit Sarlat on market day. Many of the locals claim not to speak English, but if you have a stab at speaking French they quickly reveal how fluent in English they actually are - it puts us to shame!! The atmosphere is pleasant & relaxed and it is a pleasure to see how respectful everyone is to each other - it puts our present culture into sharp perspective.
The property is a lovely cottage in a secluded village. The back garden a haven of peace & tranquility. The kitchen is fully equipped. The shower room spacious. The double bed comfortable - the duvet could keep out the coldest night. The property is well located with many historic attractions only a stones throw away. We have visited the Dordogne region in both Spring & Summer 2008 and on both occassions it has been a delightful experience.
Colin & Anne were perfect hosts - there when we needed them, supportive & informative when we had questions for them. Our "classifaction" would be - Highly Recommended - for the property, the area, the people, the food and the overall experience. Anne & Nigel
