STUNNING HOUSE, AMAZING POOL, NEAR LES EYZIES, DORDOGNE Reviews

Chestnut Cottage is an absolutely wonderful find, secluded but also conveniently close to lots of small villages and the picturesque Les Eyzies which boasts many restaurants. The house itself is an original stone building with thick stone walls which keep it cool even when it is very hot outside. The facilities are modern and convenient. The pool is absolutely fantastic, it is large and kept at a constant very pleasant temperature. The owners, whose house is next door, are delightful - extremely helpful but not intrusive. Highly recommended!

We were a family of 10, 6 adults and 4 children aged 2,3,6,9. We travelled in 3cars and there was plenty of parking on site. We needed to book the 5th bedroom, which is only accessible from outside the main house which was not a problem and it meant we were not woken early by grandchildren👍Main house very well appointed and clean, grounds lovely lots of space for kids to roam safely,pool was brilliant highlight of the holiday for them,Harris and Victoria excellent hosts, 2friendly dogs who always knew when food was around but never a problem, very good with the children. Recommed

What a great place to stay for a wind down. Harris and Victoria are great hosts, the cottage is lovely and the location really makes it a peaceful and tranquil place to relax and unwind and the amazing pool is the icing on the cake. Lots to do in the local vicinity from the markets to canoeing. We particularly enjoyed Sarlat (but get there early on market day!).

What a fabulous place to stay for a very relaxing holiday. Charming hosts Harris and Victoria and their two lovely dogs were there to greet us and show us the house and the pool. The house is very well equipped with comfortable furnishings and the heated pool is superb, the largest we have ever had. The location in its own valley surrounded by trees is so peaceful, yet only 10 minutes away are restaurants and supermarket. We were able to enjoy one of Victoria's dinners, which I can highly recommend. I can highly recommend the cottage and the area.

Chestnut Cottage is a delightful find in the heart of Dordogne. Completely remote and peaceful, but not too far from all that the area has to offer. The cottage keeps lovely and cool, due to being made of stone, the lounge is really comfy with lovely large sofas. The kitchen is really well equipped, if you love to cook, you will be in your element. Outside, there is a terrace, dining table & chairs with an electric canopy for when it gets too hot. The swimming pool is huge, lots of loungers and chairs, not to mention darts, table football & table tennis. Huge grounds too wander in too!

Much like your favourite beach, or restaurant, where you are reluctant to tell too many people lest it get 'found out' and mobbed, booked up, the talk of the sun loungers; I am vexed at sharing too much. Chestnut Cottage is a gem. Well appointed, tranquil, surrounded by nature with a pool to dream of in winter months. And Harris and Victoria are terrific. I'll stop there, it really is that good.

Our 3 generation family visit was extremely enjoyable. The large swimming pool was a great hit as was Victoria's poolside lunch and evening dinners, especially the Lamb Tagine. The area is packed with a wide selection of attractions and activities for all ages and well worth a visit.

We first came to Chestnut Cottage nine years ago and have spent a fortnight here almost every summer since. We fell in love with the idyllic surroundings, the beautiful local towns and villages and the friendly and charming welcome from Harris and Victoria - now our dear friends. The cottage is comfortable and most attractive, nestling into the charming 50 acres of landscaped grounds. A big draw for us is the stunning pool which we have never seen equalled in any holiday property we have visited in France. We cannot praise this property and hosts (and livestock) more highly. Bon Vacances!

What a find! We had a wonderful week-long family holiday in Chestnut Cottage. The setting in a quiet secluded valley is idyllic. The charming cottage is comfortable, well-appointed and equipped and was spotless and well maintained. The excellent large heated pool was the icing on the cake - it became the focus of activities every day. Le Ruisseau is situated in a lovely part of France. Local amenities with everything that you need are a short drive away and there are lots of interesting places and fun things to do in the area – Ancient towns, spectacular cliffs and caves, rivers to can

Well, when you return to the wonderful Chestnut Cottage for a fourth time it really is confirmation of what a beautiful and beguiling place this is. And, yet again, we had another truly memorable holiday. Because of the school holiday just my wife and I were there for the first week feeling rather like millionaires as we sipped gin and tonics by the pool. Then the whole family of (10 of us in total) were there for the second week. Yes more frenetic but the young ones absolutely loved it with the big heated pool and wonderful grounds to let off steam. Thank you so much Harris and Victoria.
