Montignac holiday cottage

Just returned from an all too short week at Les Rosiers.

The house is beautiful, imaculate and well equiped. The pool is fantastic, particularly in the hot August weather, the perfect place to cool off!! It is number one on the childrens' list of favourite parts of the holiday.

Steve and Judie are very welcoming and really do make you feel that nothing is too much trouble, even trying to find an alternative stop-over hotel for us on the journey home. They have an incredible knowledge of the area and attractions and their recommendations for activities and restaurants were impeccable.

All in all, I would not hesitate in recommending Les Rosiers and Montignac to anyone. I can't wait to return.

We just got back from a 3-week vacation in France with my kids and my parents. We spent two weeks at Les Rosiers.

Les Rosiers is a nicely renovated, 3-bedroom farmhouse in Les Bories about 4 km from Montignac. The house was built in 1940 and owners Steve and Judie have put a lot of work into fixing it up. The kitchen and 3-1/2 bathrooms all look brand new. Almost everything you could need is provided (fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, linens, towels, clothes washer, iron etc).

Chris and Kate help Steve and Judie with listing the property. Steve and Judie live at Les Rosiers in rooms with a separate entrance. Les Bories is a small hamlet close to the Vezere river and Valojoulx is the nearest village, but you'll need to go to Montignac for markets, bakeries, restaurants and banks. The small village of Saint Leon sur Vezere (6 km away) is also very cute. We rented a canoe in Saint Leon and spent hours floating down the Vezere (the rental companies drive you back).

The area is very peaceful and scenic, but it's a bit of a drive on narrow roads to get to much of the Dordogne (about 30 km to Sarlat, 40 km to Beynac et Cazenac for instance). There's also no doubt that you're living in the countryside - there might be more cows than people in Les Bories and the local birds make sure you wake up early every morning!

Overall, we loved Les Rosiers and we don't hesitate to recommend it.

We have just returned from a most wonderful stay in Les Rosiers, the house was all we could have wished for, so well equipped and well maintained, nothing was too much trouble for Judie and Steve who made us feel welcome.The customer service was second to none. The pool was wonderful as it sheltered us from the heat of the sun but was still kept warm by the solar heating.There was a folder full off activities and ideas for things to do, the area is a treasure trove of museums,markets, caves and castles. We used Steve as a guide and that proved to be the icing on the cake. We would recommend this property to our friends. The only thing we didn't like was having to come home. Thank you Judie and Steve we wish you continued success and hope to see you again soon.
