5 Room Bed and Breakfast in Dordogne, Near Sarlat, Périgord Noir Reviews

Upon arrival we were given a warm welcome by Stéphanie as we took in the beauty of our surroundings. The stone house is so beautiful from the outside but even more so on the inside. Fabrice and Stéphanie have created a stylish house filled with mid-century furniture, many books and even a record player; no sign of a tv anywhere! In the communal areas we were able to relax with free tea and coffee or reasonably-priced alcoholic drinks.

Our stone bedroom was very pretty and we also loved the tiles on the floors and bathroom walls. The bath and sink are reclaimed and all the toiletries are eco-friendly. A comfortable bed and Nespresso machine completed the bedroom experience. As the weather was poor during our stay we didn’t use the pool but I wish we had been able to sit around it or take a dip.

Breakfast was delicious and provided a chance to speak to other guests, as did the excellent table d’hôtes dinner we had one night. As we were there for four nights, we met several other couples who were all so friendly. I think people who come to this family-run hotel are sociable types.

Another impressive thing about les Hauts de Saint Vincent is its green credentials. It holds a Green Key certificate for eco-tourism and sustainability; indeed, while we were there an inspector came to look at the home-made and locally-sourced produce among other criteria. Stéphanie and Fabrice take this very seriously.

As you can tell, we loved staying there and enjoyed our hosts’ beautiful house and warm company too.
