Les Charmes de Carlucet Cottage - 5 Star Country Home with Large Private Jacuzzi / Spa in Perigord Noir, Dordogne Reviews

A most charming holiday location
The charms of Les Charmes de Carlucet are many and varied and all contribute to a most wonderful holiday. We rented both the Beau Reve villa and the Cottage for a family of 12 spanning three generations from 5 years to 85 years and everyone had a great time. The houses are very comfortable, beautifully furnished and fully equipped with a huge attention to detail that just makes life so easy. You can cook dinner for 12 or pack picnics (the level of thoughtfulness includes cool boxes), have delicious BBQs on a terrace overlooking a picture perfect hamlet , sip cool drinks (ice machine provided) while lounging around the pool, or play badminton or football in the large park areas to work up an appetite (or attempt to tire out children). While the location itself is a most tranquil spot, there is great Irish gastro pub – the Black Duck - a 5 minute walk away (we can testify that the Guinness is poured perfectly), the village of Salignac is a 5 minute drive and has a supermarket, bakery, butchers and a pizzeria and the beautiful town of Sarlat is 12 kms away. Excursion options include umpteen chateaux, picturesque towns, UNESCO pilgrimage sites, kayaking, cycling, adventure parks, gardens and woodland walks – i.e. something for everyone. Finally, the owners, Kerry and Thomas provide a considerable amount of the charm, very warm, welcoming and generous – always on hand for a chat, tailored advice and recommendations but never intrusive. They’ve created a beautiful place with a lovely ambiance and we certainly hope to be back.
