Happy days in La Carriere
Review Submitted: September 7, 2009
Date of Stay: July 2009
We are a mixed family group aged from eight years to eighty, and we spent two truly wonderful weeks in La Carriere in early July. First impressions are so important, and David's warm welcome on the day of our arrival set the mood for the duration of our stay. The property is extremely comfortable, very well equipped, and maintained to a very high standard, it definately lives up to the description on the web site, if anything its even nicer.
There is lots of green space, a beautiful pool, and three gorgeous donkeys who will polish off all your stale bread. The boys loved the tabletennis, badminton and we all played boules at night.
La Carriere is well situated for touring both the Lot and Dordogne regions, there is so much to see and do. Rocamadour, Sarlat, Canoeing on the river, and lots of fantastic chateaux are all within a 40min drive.
There is no shortage of really good restaurants nearby, we particularly liked la Chastrusse,recommended to us by David which was about ten minutes away by car. For your daily bread Payrac, about 5 minutes away had a lovely bakery, and a small shop. Souillac about 15 min drive has several large supermarkets.
To get to La Carriere, there is a choice of three airports, and a good road network.
This is a great place to spend your holidays, we really loved it, and were sorry to leave. David is a great host and we wish him every success.
