Description from owner
Description
Welcome to our lovingly restored holiday cottages, each with a private pool. At the end of a quiet lane, nestled on the side of a valley, there is no traffic, no noise and no distractions. Despite these tranquil surroundings, we are still close to all the main site seeing attractions at Sarlat, Les Eyzies, Perigueux, Beynac and Domme. Originally barns, both properties have been recently renovated and are well equipped to provide you with everything you will need for your stay. Newly decorated and furnished, they have a bright and light feel, while still retaining some of the original oak beams and woodwork. But in all honesty, the views are what make this property really special. Sitting on the terrace with a glass of wine on a summers evening, watching the spectacular sunsets over the valley and the chateau, will give you holiday memories to take away and cherish forever.
Further details indoors
One of two cottages, a really cute, recently renovated barn. It sleeps 2, so would suit a couple or a family with a young child. Situated on the side of the valley, the views from the terrace overlooking the valley and the chateau are truly beautiful.
The property includes one double bedroom, with a double bed. A fully equipped open plan kitchen and dining area, together with a TV (UK satellite and French TV). Both the living area and the bedroom open out onto a terrace overlooking the valley, where you can sit and enjoy alfresco dining. Originally a barn, renovated in 2012, so newly decorated and furnished, the cottage is fresh and bright, but still retains some of its rustic charm with original oak beams and woodwork.
Ideally situated, the cottage is close to all the main site seeing attractions at Sarlat, Les Eyzies, Perigueux, Beynac and Domme but its peaceful location also offers the perfect 'get away from it all' holiday.

“Very nice and cosy house in the Périgord”
We had a great time in Karen's place, relaxing in a beautiful region of France ! The house is big enough for a couple, completely autonomous and contains everything you will need ;-)

Response from the owner Hello. I am sorry to hear you did not enjoy your time with us. I am sure the weather didn't help, as it rained pretty much every day that you were here, which is very unusual for this part of the world in spring. I would like to clarify the points you raised in your review. Our kitchens are designed to enable guests to prepare simple meals during their stay. There are 4 shelves and a separate work top with a further 2 shelves. The kitchen is equipped with a 4 ring gas hob, a microwave, fridge, toaster and an electric kettle. There is a 3 pan Ikea set and a larger pan that previous guests had requested for boiling pasta etc. There are various plastic bowls to be used in the microwave. The larger bowls you mentioned are serving bowls, not designed to fit in a microwave. If you had let us know you were having difficulty using the washing machine, we would have been happy to explain it to you. Previous guests had never raised this as a problem, so we did not think an instruction booklet was necessary, I will be including that in the house book from now on. We feel that the clothes maiden you used to dry your clothes on during your stay is sufficient, it is large enough to hang a full load of washing on. A washing line would only block the fabulous view from both terraces. The bedroom has 2 large shelves for storing clothes and a large hanging rack with hangers. Clean linen is provided every week, as detailed in our house book, all linen except towels and fitted bottom sheet are ironed. The weather this year has been unusually wet, so my veggie patch is a lot slower to start than normal, unfortunately this is out of my control. As our hens have free reign of the garden for a lot of the year, they may lay their eggs outside of the coop. If you had let us know you couldn’t find any eggs, we would have been happy to fetch you some. The same applies to any kitchen equipment that you were not happy with. If a problem is pointed out to us we are more than happy to replace or repair anything straight away. But we can only do this if you communicate a problem to us during your stay. The inaccuracies aside, I do feel that your review is very unfair. Not once during your time with us did you ask for help with anything or let us know that you were not happy with any of the facilities. As you can see from our other reviews and the fact that so many of our guests chose to return to us year after year, we are always on hand to help and offer our guests advice and support when asked.

“Beautiful spot”
Lovely spot - good location for getting around and visiting the Dordogne. Hospitable hosts.The cottages were adorable - and although hosts were available to help out it also allowed for privacy.
