We had a great stay, the location was just right for us and only a short drive for all your needs. The gite was well presented Beth and Finlay were on hand if needed for help and advise. We intend to return later in the year

Heaven
After a very disappointing stay in another HomeAway property it was wonderful to arrive to a very warm welcome at Beth & Findlay's lovely little cottage. The welcome pack is a lovely touch, and the cottage is very well thought out and well equipped. You do need to drive everywhere as there are no shops or restaurants within walking distance, but as long as you're happy with that then this place is a dream. The pool is positioned wonderfully overlooking the fields, but at times was not overly inviting as it was cloudy and we did have to keep clearing leaves and dead flies. As far as we're concerned that's the only area where there is a little room for improvement, as everything else was just lovely.

Endroit calme pour repos, tres bon accueil des hotes avec des produits en guise d'accueil (vin, croissants, etc... ) hotes toujours a l'ecoute. Seul bemol la piscine est agreable mais en vis a vis direct avec les proprietaires donc pas d'intimité.

Charme et tranquillité
Nous avons passé 13 jours en famille absolument délicieux chez Elizabeth. Tout d’abord la maison est très bien située pour rayonner dans le Périgord et même en Charente toute proche. Ensuite, ce charmant cottage a un magnifique jardin et une piscine des plus agréable. Cette maison est décorée dans un style vintage qui lui donne tout son charme . Enfin (voir en premier lieu), Elizabeth est une femme adorable, très accueillante, absolument charmante, une excellente voisine très discrète et néanmoins tout à fait présente lorsqu’on a besoin d’elle. Thanks again dear Elizabeth for your welcome, your help, your kindness, it was really lovely to be in your house ! Merci beaucoup and see you soon I hope ! Take care, Cristina & Eric & Wystan & Teresa

En vacances comme à la maison 😎
En famille avec de jeunes enfants nous avons passé un séjour confortable et convivial dans ce joli petit gîte. Bien aménagé et très bien équipé, nous y avons simplement posé nos valises et nous y avons trouvé tout ce dont nous avions besoin pour se sentir comme à la maison .
L'extérieur avec la piscine a plu à toute la famille.
Quel agréable séjour....
Je voudrais aussi parler de l'accueil chaleureux de Beth, de la présence discrète mais toujours disponibles de Findlay et Beth pour répondre à nos besoins.
Thank you so much Beth and Findlay, we spent a very pleasant time in your gite...

Quality accommodation in a peaceful setting
Everything about this property was just as described. It had a comfortable cottagey feel about it, beautiful decoration, and the kitchen was very well equipped with no lack of crockery, cutlery or cooking utensils. The weather was mixed during our stay but having the pool on the hot days was a real bonus. Being able to receive British TV channels was also great. We spent a very peaceful week in the area and thoroughly enjoyed being out in the middle of the countryside. Elizabeth and Findlay were great hosts, very discreet but available whenever needed. I can definitely recommend this place.

Une parenthèse enchantée !
Ce fut un séjour formidable dans un petit cocon charmant, très calme et reposant. Le jardin est un havre de paix et tout à fait adapté aux chiens (l'endroit est bien clôturé) et de nombreuses balades sont possibles à proximité. La piscine est également très agréable.
Je rajouterai que Beth et son époux ont été d'une gentillesse et d'une sollicitude extrêmes ! Ce fut un plaisir de les avoir rencontrés !

Calme et détente
Nous avons séjourné une semaine dans le gîte d’Elizabeth. Accueil chaleureux et bienveillant - Maison bien équipée et au calme
Compter 15min de voiture pour vous rendre dans des aires de loisirs nautiques pour profiter des plages ruisseau - les enfants ont adorés !
Il manque juste une boulangerie dans le village de Festalemps pour être au top avec les croissants et le pain frais au petit déjeuner !
Nous recommandons !

Très bon séjour
Nous avons passé 3 semaines chez Elizabeth et sa famille qui ont été à la fois prévenants et discrets. Le gîte est très bien équipé, au calme, avec un petit jardin (et sa piscine !) bien agréables.
Bref, le genre d'endroit où on se sent comme chez soi et dont il vaudrait mieux ne pas trop faire la publicité si on souhaite pouvoir y retourner avant qu'il ne soit pris d'assaut ! :-)

Les vacances idéales
Tout était parfait!
L'accueil d'Elisabeth et de sa famille est un modèle du genre, chaleureux et simple, elle vous indiquera les merveilles à découvrir en Dordogne et les bonnes adresses pour se restaurer....une gentillesse à toute épreuve.
Le gite est confortable, décoré avec gout et d'une tranquillité qui ravira quiconque recherche des vacances sereines et reposantes....et le petit plus, la piscine pour se rafraichir des visites indispensables à faire dans ce Périgord riche en histoire.
Nous ne pouvons que recommander cette adresse pour toute ses qualités.
Thanks to Elisabeth & her family
