Country Cottage Rental in Perigord Vert, Dordogne with Pool Reviews

Rural Paradise!

5 of 5

We were really happy with this little cottage, it was a perfect size for two people and even accomodated an extra visiting adult for a few nights in relative comfort.

It really is a place in the sunflowers, they grow in the fields all around the property and give such a beautiful and relaxing view from the swimming pool. The weather had been cool before we visited so the pool was cool but it warmed up whilst we were there and we swam every day and ate our meals outside. The pool is a good size and clean and well maintained.

The cottage is full of character, with rough walls but it is stylish, fully modernised and very comfortable. The bed was huge and the darkness total which is always a recipe for a god night's sleep! Unlike many holiday properties the plumbing worked faultlessly and the shower was powerful and hot. The little kitchen was great, we cooked most evenings and it had all the utensils and pans we needed. There is no dishwasher or washing machine but we really didn't notice their absence. Everything was clean and well maintained.

English television was also a good feature although we didn't watch much - there is a DVD player and some films to watch if all the relaxing becomes too much.

The village is about half an hour's walk away and is utterly charming - a little market on Mondays, two bars and a restaurant (the bars also do food). We found the restaurant a bit quirky as it was run by a New Zealander and the menu was a bit international but the bars were traditionally French and very good value.

A well stocked supermarket is a further 10 minute walk from the centre of the village.

We saw deer in the fields around the cottage, there was plenty of birdlife and the insects were not intrusive!

We really enjoyed our time at the cottage and would recommend it to anyone seeking an 'away from it all' holiday. We can;t wait to return!
