Reviews of Property: Dordogne 6 bedroom Farmhouse with heated pool, between St Emilion and Bergerac.

As just a couple we were looking for space, privacy,quiet and a good standard of facilities. In October if the weather was good then that would be a bonus.
VOILA !!! All our boxes well and truly ticked from Le Peyrat along with a very warm welcome from Tracy and Brian who were most freindly and helpfull when needed but totaly unobtrusive. The weather was also kind to us as we were inthe pool most afternoons.
The facilities were all as described in the details provided with absolutly no disapointments.
Unfortunatly we cannot recommend places to visit nor places to eat as we were happy to stay put ( save for the nessassery supermarket visits) this in itself speaks volumes for the tranquility.
We would highly reccomend Le Peyrat and this area for anyone looking for the same requirements however the property is well designed to cater for full family fun.
This will not be our first and last visit more like the first of many.
Once again thank you Tracy and Brian and we wish you your well deserved continued success for the future.

I wouls highly reccommend this property and area to anyone looking for a quiet rural retreat for their holiday. The property is spacious and clean and has everything to cater for your needs for a holiday. Tracy and Brian are always available if you need any help or advice and nothing is too much trouble for them.
The setting has everything you need a garden and a clean and maintained swimming pool which we were in every day!!
A car is essential for your stay here as the shops and restaurants are a distance away.

We stayed at this beautiful farmhouse this summer and it made for a fantastic holiday. The house was fantastic and had absolutely everything that we needed.The level of decor was outstanding with lovely little touches everywhere.
The pool was fantastic and my daughter was out armbands after two days and considering she has had lessons for 1 year that was a minor miracle.
We loved the gardens they were beautiful and the children loved scamping about all day and playing cricket there was just so much space.
We loved Tracy ,Brian and Samuel they are the nicest people so helpful and welcoming and even arranged a trip to a vineyard which all of us enjoyed. There are even fruit trees in the gardens that you can pick your own fruit from daily.
The accomodation was very comfortable ,clean and of the highest standard and we couldnt find a fault with anything it really was that good!
I woyuld recommend this place to anyone we had one of our best holidays here total relaxation and felt refreshed after our week here. If you get to have a holiday here you wont regret it it really is such a lovely place so much to do for everyone or if like me sit beside the pool with a good book it is ideal too.
We would love return and have a glass of wine at the local bar and see the photos that they took of us after a great night there, we felt welcomed by the locals and felt a part of their community if only for one week.
We missed this place after we left but we will return!!!

We had a wonderful stay at Le Payrat. The photographs are a very accurate representation of the house and the gardens and all the facilities listed are provided and are in excellent condition.
Tracy and Brian were great and very helpful - particularly when family circumstances meant we had to arrive a couple of days later than planned. They have lots of information about the area and many local contacts and can arrange all sorts of things if you want them to - or leave you completely in peace if that is your choice.
The pool was a wonderful way to relax and gets the sun throughout the day - but that does make it harder to go out especially in the evening! Lac du Gurson is a great place to go as a very near alternative - but take care it can get very hot on an August afternoon!
We used the chef twice and had two excellent meals - he was very happy to come and discuss what we wanted and cook to order for our second meal. We would heartily recommend Le Peche Mignon as a place to eat - about 5 miles way in a small village. Their 5 course €25 menu and wine list was superb and service by the owners was excellent.
If you are going marketing get there early. St Foye's market on a Saturday is very large and the produce - fruit, vegetables and fish - is excellent.
We had an excellent time and would heartily recommend to anyone.

We spent a brilliant week at Le Payrat. The house, pool and garden were just as good, if not better than the photos on the website show. The owners were extremely helpful, offering advice and information when we needed it, and discreetly making sure that the pool and gardens were kept it tiptop condition during our stay. The accommodation was very comfortable, and clean, nice beds, well equiped kitchen etc., all done to a very high standard. We took the recommendation from another reviewer and booked the Chef for the evening we arrived. We chose a buffet menu, & it was nice not to have to cook, or worry about preparing a meal when we arrived. The area of St Martin de Gurcon is very pretty and it was nice to be able to take a stroll into the village to buy bread or have a drink in the local bar & the local supermarket was only 5-10 mins drive away in Montpon. The property is ideally placed for sight seeing, Bergerac and St Emillion (our favourites) are within easy travelling distance of the property by car. We had such a relaxing holiday, we didn't want to leave at the end of our weeks stay!

Coming from New Zealand and meeting relatives living in England, we wanted a place that could comfortably fit 4 children (including a baby) and 7 adults for three weeks- which Le Peyrat definitely did.

We also wanted a place that we could do as little or as much as each person wanted. There was plenty of room outside with the children’s playground, room to kick a ball, play boules etc and offcourse the pool area. There are generous living areas and indoor and outdoor eating areas. There was plenty of places where we could all be together or find a quiet spot if you wanted.

There are plenty of attractions we would recommend only short drives away, like the markets- one every day in neighbouring villages, St Emilion, Sarlat, Brantome, Bourdeilles, the cute towns and prehistoric caves on the Dordogne, Domme etc

Our last requirement was being able to walk to the local village for a cup of coffee. We became very fond of the little village of St Martin de Gurson. It is only a five minute walk up the road, safe for pushchairs and there is a donkey or two to pat on the way.
There is a boulangerie, general store and pub in the village. We had many a coffee/drink and ice cream at the friendly pub. We also dined at the pub a few times which was very reasonable.

We had some nice walks to and from the lac. We didn't swim in the lac, but see that people do. We were interested to see the remains of the castle, the priory, the druid site and the roman road.

Tracy has a basketful of brochures and information. Tracy and Brian were very welcoming, inviting us to the local village boules competition and to the town swimming pool with slide with their son Samuel- who is gorgeous! They weren’t obtrusive but available if we had any queries.
We could have easily stayed longer.

Thanks T and B for an absolutely perfect week at your gorgeous farmhouse. The house and gardens were beautiful and it was handing having you nearby to help with emergency translation.

The property is perfect for visiting the area or indeed just sitting and relaxing.

The kids particularly loved the pool and after swimming every day my five year old daughter now wants to be a mermaid when she grows up!

We adults just loved the chilling time that you property allowed us to take out of our family catch up tour of the UK.

Our week long stay in the property was one of the highlights of our 5 week trip and I hope that one day we can come back.

Le Peyrat has a great accomodation, and it's a very clean and comfortable house. The owner privided us all the information we needed about the places to go to in the area and was very helpfull to our questions. Big, beautiful garden and fantastic pool-area. We certailnly would recommend the house to families with children, who would like to spend their holidays in this beautiful region of France.
