Les Chouettes Holiday Cottage with Private Pool, Located Outside Tremolat in Dordogne Reviews

Beautiful Property
The French cottages, Les Chouettes in Tremolat is wonderful. We rented both the barn and cottage for 10 days with our extended family. Both houses are very well equipped with everything that one could need. The beds and furniture are very comfortable. Their towels are large and luxurious. There is so much to see in the Dordogne Valley from medieval cities, chateaus, and outdoor markets. We really liked the market at Issigeac. The Bistro in Tremolat is highly recommended too.

Bliss
From the start, our host was very accommodating. She had given us loads of tips of what to do, where to eat and go in and around Tremolat.

Our expectations were blown away by the tastefully designed cottage and barn. The lush amenities left us wanting for nothing and wishing that we could stay forever. We enjoyed the fully equipped kitchen most evenings and even had a barbecue on the porch under the gazebo.

Best Air BnB stay we have ever ever had!!
We honestly couldn't have done our trip with our Karen and Alan, they are the best hosts we have ever had! The house was gorgeous, in the most beautiful setting. The house was just perfect for us, everything we needed and more, all very clean and in amazing condition. Karen and Alan made us feel very at home and they were so welcoming. We came and stayed for a friends wedding and they couldn't have been more helpful in terms of the logistics for the wedding, travel etc. We all definitely want to come back and stay again! Definitely best Air BnB experience we have all ever had!

Beautiful cottage
We enjoyed a lovely stay in this beautiful cottage during some really hot weather! The downstairs bedrooms stayed lovely and cool and the air con helped upstairs. The pool was excellent and a choice of outside seating areas meant we were always able to find a shady spot and the best breeze. The kitchen was very well equipped and the lounge lovely and comfortable. Thank you Karen for letting us stay in your lovely house and your great communication and thoughtfulness while we were there.

A lovely cottage, but beware the summer months
Overall, the property itself is beautiful. Very tastefully furnished, spacious bathrooms, pretty outdoor landscaping, nice pool area, etc. See the pictures.

The reason I couldn't give this property a higher rating is because the upstairs bedrooms are not truly air conditioned as described in HomeAway in the way that most people would describe it (the owner pointed to the heat wave underway when we arrived, but the conditions on the second floor never really improved to the point that we could sleep there). There was one fairly small portable unit in the larger bedroom, which was reading 30 degrees Celsius when we arrived. The other bedroom was even hotter. So the first night four of us slept in the two downstairs BR's, which were tolerable with fans, but which also meant my daughter had to share a BR with her 15 yr old son. As the weather cooled a bit later in the week, it was more comfortable. But at no point did the upstairs BR's become comfortable enough to sleep in,despite the owner bringing a second unit at the end of the first week. As a result, my son and his family could not stay with us at the cottage when they arrived on 7/5 and he had to rent a hotel room nearby. And my daughter and grandson had to share a BR for the entire stay. So I paid for a four BR place that only had two usable BR's and my son incurred the cost of three nights in a hotel.

If you plan to use the pool, be aware that you are in the country, so small black flies will be around the whole time. We didn't spend more than 30-45 mins in the pool as a result.

Also be aware in advance of opening the house early in the morning to let in the cooler air and then shutting up around mid-morning. We learned this from Simon, the caretaker, the day after we arrived. It's a must if you want the downstairs to be comfortable.

Finally, the owners were very responsive to our concerns about the AC, but their efforts were to naught.

A superb relaxing venue
A family holiday saw us rent the cottage and barn for ten nights .Accommodation was excellent ,super pool and very well equipped for families.

Les Chouttes was spacious and comfortable and exceeded our expectation s.The village of Trémolat was charming and restraints , particularly the Vieux Logis were very good.

Convenient for canoeing the Dordogne at Limeuil , visiting Le Buguevwuite close and seeing Sarlat at night .

Our communication with the owner and as excellent as she always responded very quickly.

I would be happy to recommend Les Chouettes to any family and would return in the future .Finally it was excellent value for money .

Thank you Karen

Magnificent cottages
Karen's 2 cottages are very comfortable and spacious.
They are very well equipped.
The swimming pool is large.
There is a volleyball court, bicycles available and a ping-pong table.
Karen takes great care of her guests.
In addition, the gîtes are in a very quiet hamlet of Trémolat.
We had a great time.
