La Perode - Beautiful Holiday Farmhouse with Private heated Pool, Perigord Noir, Dordogne Reviews

Nous avons loué la maison avec plusieurs amis. La maison est superbe et très bien équipé, Alec et Annie sont adorables, disponibles et discrets. Nous avons passé une merveilleuse semaine, et nous reviendrons avec plaisir. Vous pouvez y aller sans hésitation.

Superbe séjour en famille avec enfants en bas âge. La piscine et le pool house sont top, et la maison est bien situé dans un petit village sympathique. Annie et Alec, les propriétaires, nous ont très bien acceuilli, bref que du bonheur lors de ce séjour d’une semaine.

Don’t want to leave !! What a fantastic time we’ve had here at La Perode! I think we’ve exhausted the word “heaven”. This part of the Dordogne has so much to see and do but considering the circumstances we have been on cloud nine just to enjoy the gite and pool area. So well equipped!!! Alec and Annie are beyond thoughtful. You made our boy’s 10th birthday one to remember. Eternally grateful. Alexis, Rob, Stanley & Penelope x
We as a family have had a most releaxing and enjoyable stay at La Perode. Our grandchildren have thoroughy enjoyed the pool and their swimming has come on in leaps and bounds. We love the Dordogne as there is so much to explore but we needed to relax, which we’ve cetainly managed to do. Thank you Alec and Annie for your wonderful welcome and sharing your beautiful home with us. We will return in a couple of years. Mandy & Cliff

The accommodation and facilities were first class, there was nothing I could fault! The gite was equipped with everything you could possibly need and more. Highlight must be the superb swimming pool with outside kitchen area, we literally spent the whole week enjoying having this fabulous area all to ourselves. We have already booked to return in 2022 and would not hesitate to highly recommend to others. Alec et Annie were lovely hosts who made us feel very welcome. Rouffignac is a pretty little town with all the amenities you need. We ate at the nearby campsite restaurant a couple of times which was very pleasant. Everything you need is within walking distance, although we didn’t venture out very often as the gite and pool were too nice to leave!

C’est avec regret que nous reprenons la route du retour. Notre séjour dans votre magnifique maison nous a tous enchantés. Tout était parfait: votre accueil, l’équipement des différentes pieces, la literie, la piscine sécurisée, la cuising extérieure, les jeux pour tous, la documentation à jour, votre discrétion tout en étant présents. De plus, la region est très belle et elle offre de nombreuses opportunités. Des vacances à recommander.

Un grand merci pour votre accueil à La Pérode. Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans votre magnifique maison si bien restaurée. L’espace piscine est superbe. Tout y est pour passer d’excellentes journées avec les enfants quand le temps s’y prete! La cuisine parfaitement équipée et surtout un barbecue de compétition qui permet de faire d’exquisite côtes de boeuf! La région est superbe. Nous connaissons le sud du Périgord Noir, cette semaine nous a permis de découvrir cette magnifique partie de la Dordogne reconnue pour ses multiples grottes. La grotte de Rouffignac est à visiter, un heure de visite en train électrique qui a beaucoup plu aux enfants (6 et 9 ans). Nous avons aussi visité le gouffre de Poumeyssac qui est spectaculaire, les enfants ont pu découvrir le canoë sur la Vézère qui se prête parfaitement aux débutants. Nous avons aussi pu faire de la marche autour de Fanlac, un superbe village - comme Saint Léon sur Vezere. Il reste encore beaucoup de sites à découvrir tant la région est riche, une bonne excuse pour revenir bientôt c’est certain! Encore merci à Alec et Annie, d’avoir rendu notre séjour inoubliable!

Thank you for making us feel so welcome during our stay at La Perode. We’ve loved the pool, especially on the hot, hot days, and enjoyed pottering about around the lanes picking plums and blackberries. Thank you for being so kind with Florence and Hannah, humouring their endless chatter and 20 questions! Both you and this holiday will stay in their memories. Days out we’ve particularly enjoyed: Rouffignac caves, Maison Forte de Reignac, Chateau de Commarque and a beautiful canoe trip from Thonac to St Leon sur Vezere. We’ve also enjoyed our morning excursions to collect still-warm bread and croissants from the (local) campsite. Good luck with the Grand Wall of La Perode!

If the weather had been cooler we would have done more walks in the Balades et Randonnées folder. We did walks from Fanlac & Plazac and both villages have pleasant, friendly restaurants to recover. In Rouffignac the Sunday market and the ‘Gormande Nocturne’ were good fun. The boucherie and epicerie supply good meat and groceries – the butcher is very jolly in his red apron and beret! We couldn’t have asked for more from Annie, Alec and La Perode – a wonderful setting for a family holiday. Thank you.

Our return to La Perode didn’t dissapoint! Some highlights were:
Canoeing down the river from St Leon sur Vezere; Quercyland for water slides and fun; Gourmande evening every Wednesday (arrive about 6.30pm to get a table & bring your own cutlery and glasses); Look out for local brocantes for some interesting finds…
Alec and Annie, we have had a wondeful stay, again, and hope to return in the future.

We’ve had a great two weeks. Beautiful area to explore, enjoyed the local caves
and Perigueux, a lovely city. Alec & Annie were great hosts. The pool area is
amazing and spent most of our time up there relaxing.

A great two weeks at La Perode. It was so hot (hitting 46DegC on one day) that we spent most of the time at the pool. However, a couple of places which are good to visit:
Montignac – a pretty town with lots of restaurants & a lovely ice cream shop.
Le Bos – a campsite near Le Bugue which has a big lake with ‘Total Wipe Out’ style inflatables. Also swimming pools and slides. Good for kids but lake & slides open at 1.00 and 2.00pm respectively. About €10pp + little kids are free.
Alec & Annie were great hosts and nothing was too much trouble. Many thanks for looking after us!
