Country Cottage Rental in Perigord Vert, Dordogne with Pool Reviews

We have just enjoyed an enjoyable, relaxing week at this charming and characterful gite. We travelled as a couple, and although the gite is small, it had everything we needed to make the week perfect. We spent a lot of time in and around the pool during the day and made plenty of use of the bbq and outdoor seating on an evening. We do unfortunately rely on the internet on our holidays so was pleased to find the wifi signal to be fairly reliable despite the rural location. The gite is off a quiet country road and is completely private, however there are some other properties close by to avoid feeling totally isolated. The village of Tocane Saint Apre is only about 3km away, and has everything you might need including a boulangerie, boucherie and Intermarche supermarket. I would also recommend the bistro Rouge in the village for a delicious lunch at a reasonable price.

Thanks also to Karen for the loan of her bikes during our visit - it was a lovely way to collect our baguettes from the village, but also to explore the local area. This gite is perfect for any couple just needing 1 bedroom, but would still like to have the outdoor facilities of a larger property.

We had such a relaxed stay at this beautiful cottage. Set in the middle of lovely countryside, we had a very chilled week away. Karen provided everything we needed and was a superb host - leaving us wine and bread to welcome us at the cottage. The pool was lovely and the evenings watching the sun set were so good. We also travelled with a 5 month old and everything was great for the little one - including Karen providing us with blankets and a chair for him. Would go back in a heartbeat. A great place to unwind.

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful gite. It is set in the most tranquil spot surrounded by rolling fields and woodland, ideal for a peaceful get away with great views. The pool is fantastic and gets the sunshine all day and into the evening's.

The gite is well equipped and has such a comfy bed.You are close enough to the village, that is well served with a butcher, baker, supermarket, bar, restaurants etc. It is also ideally located to explore the whole of the Perigord region.

Can't wait to go back.

Our stay was lovely and more than we had hoped for. We would certainly

recommend this property to friends or relatives. We only left the property to go shopping in the village!

My partner and I had a great holiday. We loved the location overlooking fields of sunflowers and 5 minutes drive or 15 minutes cycle ride to the village with its weekly market and boulangerie etc. We spent most days cycling down peaceful country lanes and roads to villages and towns where we'd have lunch, and then on arriving back at the house, diving into the pool and later, dinner on the terrace under the stars. This really is a complete 'get away from everything' location. Internet excepted though, we valued the wifi to help map out cycle routes and read up on the various interesting places we visited. The bathroom has a great shower, the kitchen - living area is small but well equipped and compact and cosy. The bed is big and comfortable. The property was clean and well-kept, and the owner and local manager could not have been more helpful. We definitely would recommend the house.

A lovely, small, peaceful and comfortable holiday give. Very clean and pleasant with a beautiful swimming pool area. One of the most relaxed holidays we ever had.

My partner and I stayed here for a week at the end of July and couldn't have asked for a more peaceful and relaxing holiday. Although we'd both wanted to visit this part of France for some time it was our first trip to the Dordogne and we both hope very much that it won't be our last.

The gite was exactly as described on the website and more than lived up to our expectations. It was just the sort of rural retreat we were hoping for, clean, tidy and just perfect for the two of us. The location, surrounded by fields of wheat and spectacular sunflowers was idyllic, quiet and secluded without being too remote. We spent most of the time sat by the fabulous pool reading and drinking the odd glass of wine! And in the evening we lit the barbie and ate out under the stars!

When we did venture out, a visit to the beautiful town of Brantome was probably the highlight. That said, Sunday lunch in the courtyard of the auberge in nearby Montagrier was fabulous, as was dinner at the Le Moulin du Pont restaurant in Lisle, they even have their own trout farm. And whatever you do, stop off at Rouge, a great little bistro/hotel in the centre of Tocane St Apres. It's only five minutes away by car and the food was superb.

It's fair to say we thought it was one of the best holidays we'd ever had and frankly, we can't wait to go back!
