“Thoroughly enjoyed our 9 nights here. The weather improved after the first day so we were able to go for walks, hire bik”
We loved our spacious room with a wonderful view over the countryside. We were the only guests for a few days, so could use the outside and otherwise shared facilities as if they were our own! The breakfast each morning was delicious and more than enough. Particularly nice when served on the terrace when warm enough. The hosts were friendly and helpful whilst respecting our privacy. Very peaceful. Good central location to visit interesting areas. Would have enjoyed swimming in the river if it had been warmer weather. Loved the canoe trip. Sitting on the terrace with a wine and watching spectacular sunsets was very special.

“Loved every minute, ended up staying for longer.”
I was so happy with the location central to so many of the pretty villages and sights. Steve and Claire are so informed about the region and shared their knowledge. The property is lovely, cared for and comfortable. Breakfast time was always a joyful start to the day and there was always a welcome when you arrived back at the end of the day.

“Fantastic location very well decorated and furnished room lovely hosts don’t hesitate to book if you require a base ti e”
This property is amazing if your using it as a base. We had a family event close to this property (10mins away) and St Julian de Lampon with bar restaurant, small general store, pharmacy, bread/cake shop and butcher and beach for Dordogne river only a few mins drive, so it was the perfect location. Loved the view over the Dordogne Valley, hosts where fabulous - attentive but also let us get on with our stay and the room was fantastic, decorated to high standard, clean and well put together with beds made and towels changed every day.

“Wonderful relaxing stay.”
Lovely hosts, nothing is too much trouble. Great, peaceful setting with all you need from a B and B..plus the joy of a small kitchen in the garden room so you do not have to eat out at restaurants every night.

“Warm and welcoming bi-lingual couple with a lovely place in a perfect location .”
Clair and Steve we very welcoming and went out of their way to be helpful . They offered to book us a table at a local restaurant as we were arriving late with out us even needing to ask . They offered us a drink on the terrace in our arrival . The rooms were very cosy comfortable and clean with stunning views across The Valley . There williness to share their local knowledge was invaluable to us and greatly enhanced our say in the area. Their eye for detail and understanding of what guest need such as offering us the possibility to self cater and use the alfresco kitchenette and bbq for a evening meal went over and above our expectations . We will back again and recommend to family and friends .

“French paradise with very generous hosts”
Location was perfect - beautiful views from the breakfast balcony! Clean room, loved the interior decor. Breakfast was good - fresh croissants, bread and jam, orange juice and coffee, had a boiled egg one day too. All excellent considering the price! Hosts Claire and Steve went above and beyond to help us in any way they could - which was very much appreciated. Note, if you're flying into Brive - book your rental car in advance!

“I can't wait to go back, such a beautiful part Of France and a great venue to stay.”
What a great place to stay; we felt more like friends than guests. The facility's and rooms were tastefully decorated and totally spotless. The breakfast was great and we even had access to an excellent outside seating and kitchen area with a fridge to keep your wine and beer. I can't say enough good things about this place and everyone in the party felt the same, I am totally looking forward to taking my wife there so she can experience this amazing place.
