Charming & Peaceful House In A Rural Setting - No Smoking

The property was very clean, spacious with a well equipped kitchen. It is very quiet with little to no light pollution at night. The pool is a good size kept at 25c. Due to its remoteness a car is a must. There is a local convenience store only 7 minutes drive from the house, sadly we only found this on our last day.

From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect! A real home from home….with added luxuries. Our hosts thought of everything, lots of information before we arrived and then heaps of tips/leaflets to help with our stay. Thank you for the bottle of wine….perfect touch! Highly recommend staying here, you feel the tranquility take over the moment arrive. Thank you again, cannot wait to return

We had a fantastic holiday at La Groussie and highly recommend it! The accomodation is spacious, well appointed and comfortable. The pool was always inviting - a delight to enjoy during the hot weather. The sun canopy on the terrace was well used for lazy afternoons with a beautiful garden and countryside view. Being so close to the airport and Bergerac itself was so handy (and time saving) and it is a lovely area in general to explore. We would not hesitate to return to La Groussie. Many thanks Alistair and Co for a relaxing and memorable holiday.

Stayed for 2 weeks with young kids, enjoying the lovely pool and garden. The house is spacious and has everything you can ask for. The house remains cool during hot days. If relaxing by the pool becomes too much then the house is also in a great location for some travelling round the amazing Perigord area. Castles, Château’s, caves, canoeing and of course wine tasting are all near by. Fantastic holiday with the family, thank you for letting us use your lovely home.

Beautiful cottage very easy to find from airport. (Bergerac) only 10 minutes from large supermarket. 15 minutes from Bergerac. Cottage was spotless. It’s a must to visit supermarket before arriving at cottage as didn’t know all shops were closed on Sunday after we arrived & not a listed holiday. Bottle of wine left in fridge for us so that was handy. Pool guy keeps pool very well maintained. Grass could be better kept as knee height by time we got it cut(3 days before our fortnight up) granted weather had been bad with heavy rain storm before our arrival. Problem with no hot water for 4 days but Alistair was brilliant in sorting this out for us. Would definitely visit cottage again.

Excellent in every way. Spotlessly clean, and peaceful, the two things that are so very important to us. And we are quite particular! Superb views and the only noise we heard was the odd cow and the odd chicken! House is well equipped and lots of very useful information in the house. Alastair was really helpful before and during our stay. Anita, the housekeeper was also very helpful but certaily not intrusive. Super little village within walking distance, great restaurants and a useful little shop! We enjoyed lovely figs, apples and plums from the garden. We have been to this area many times and this is the only house to which we are keen to return. Thank you .

This was the second holiday we have spent at La Groussie and it was every bit as enjoyable as the first. The house is on one level and is very spacious and well equipped. It is surrounded by garden and only overlooked by wildlife - kites circle overhead and cows peer through the fence. We are a family with teenagers and all loved time in the pool, evenings spent eating outside on the terrace and enjoying the local restaurants. Bergerac is only a short drive away with its markets and shops. We also enjoyed the Sunday market at Issigeac, canoeing and visiting the chateau at Monbazillac. We highly recommend La Groussie for a taste of french country living and relaxation.

We (3 mature adults) had a wonderful September two-week holiday at La Groussie which is as described in the text, and more. The photographs don't really do justice to the amount of outside space that the property has. As it was fairly late in the season we were able to benefit from wonderful figs picked from the tree and plums which, due to a high wind, fell in huge numbers to the ground. The pool is a perfect size (we were 3 adults) and was always a warm average of 25 degrees – with the assistance of its solar cover. The house is very comfortable and the well equipped kitchen is apparently being remodelled for next year with the inclusion of wall cupboards which will lessen the need to bend to under counter shelves. There is a good selection of books and DVDs. We followed the advice of an earlier reviewer and approached the farmer next door for eggs. No problem. Two euro for 12 magnificent eggs, most of which were double-yolks. The instructions and advice we received with the keys were the most comprehensive ever, covering every possible how, where, why question! Thank you, Aileen and Alastair, for letting us stay in your Dordogne home.
