Award-winning Holiday Farmhouse in Verteillac, Perigord Vert, Dordogne Reviews

The perfect family holiday

We stayed at La Cotte in the summer of 2009, with our three grown-up children and their families, including a toddler and a baby. The house was just beautiful - very welcoming and well-kept: it has a lovely courtyard effect where we had all our lunches and dinners, with several barbeque options available. The house felt very much like a home from home, with lots of the owners' games and handy things that they seemed quite happy for us to use, and after two weeks we could almost believe we lived there ourselves! The owners couldn't have been more helpful, buying a new paddling pool specailly as we had our grandchildern with us, and posting back to us something we left behind. The pool is a good size and beautiful temperature, and well protected with a fence aorund it and self-closing gate, so we didn't have to worry about that. There were bikes, pool toys and table tennis in the barn to keep us amused, so we spent a lot of time at the house. It is very pretty, has a huge kitchen, very comfortable living room and plenty of good bedrooms. And the mulberries were wonderful! We would recommend it to anyone, but especially to familes with children.
