Beautifully Restored Character 18th Century Dordogne Cottage with Private Pool - Hill Top House Reviews

Pierre Lapin is a beautifully restored cottage with a definite wow factor. The cottage was beautifully clean on arrival and is well maintained throughout. The welcome pack was much appreciated. The cottage is situated in a very quiet location, this suited us and many happy hours were spent quietly by the pool enjoying the sunshine. We had our daily walk to get bread, something we love to be able to do in France. The garden of this cottage is amazing we loved all the fruit trees, the plums were delicious! Ian and Heather were very easy to deal with and we always had quick responses to emails. We were fortunate enough to meet with both the lady who looks after the property in France and the gentleman who tends to the pool and garden, both were very friendly and although my French is far from good we communicated well.

We visited Sarlat on the train leaving from Le Buisson, we had lunch in one of the many restaurants and a walk through this interesting and historic town.

The supermarket at St Cyprien was perfectly adequate with plenty of choice, we had some delicious steak from the butchery counter. We also went into Le Bugue, worth a visit; the supermarket was much busier and there was more choice certainly in the cheese and pate departments.

For us this was the perfect holiday, the cottage was very comfortable, the immediate surroundings quiet and peaceful but if you wanted more action you don’t have to travel far.

We have re-booked for 2017, I guess that really says it all!
