Gîte spacieux avec tous les appareils modernes et un 9x4. Piscine de 2 m

A great Gite, with everything needed for a relaxing self catering break. The pool area is lovely as are the grounds and surrounds. Plenty of outdoor dining space, both with barbecue and parasol. Martin and Michelle are great hosts and on hand whenever you need. Two bathrooms with shower a real plus for us, as we were four adults. Would highly recommend. Would definitely return with a larger group and rent both Gites. it’s a great setup. Plenty of little towns and villages nearby to visit, a great part of France away from all the crowds.

We had a wonderful stay in Saint-Julien. The gite had everything we needed inside and out and we made great use of the pool and the outside space for playing games. So much to see near here, we enjoyed trips to Lascaux, the night market at Segur-Le-Chateaux, a walk along the Auvezere at Saint Mesmin and chateau at Popadour. Martin and Michelle were great hosts and all communication was excellent.

We took a 3 month long lease over winter at Gite Vulcain and it was a great decision. The gite is very comfortable with quality fixtures and fittings making the stay very enjoyable. With an efficient wood burner which heated the whole gite, we were snug even during the frosty and snowy days. The open plan layout and the large bedrooms add to the feel of spaciousness and the large well equipped kitchen was a delight to prepare food in. Martin and Michelle have clearly thought about how to offer quality accommodation and this shows; this is the nicest gite we have stayed in during all our French trips. We didn't get to enjoy the large garden and the pool but imagined that come the summer, these would be well used facilities. We were lucky to meet our hosts while there, as well as having a lot of communication with them and they are clearly customer focused and easy to deal with. Nothing was too much trouble. If we are back that way sometime, we would love to stay at this gite again.

Gite was exactly as described on the website, clean, spacious and with good facilities including useful extras like dishwasher, BBQ, Wifi. The pool was just the right size and a perfect temperature for the kids to cool off on what was a really hot, sunny week and garden was big and enclosed, great for the kids and the dog. Gite also stayed nice and cool. Local area was beautiful and loads to do, local markets, lovely horseracing, chateau's, quaint villages and a fantastic lake with beach, pedallos, Go-ape type thing and Wakeboarding centre. Simone and Dave (and their kids) who run the property where lovely and really helpful without being too intrusive. All in all a perfect family holiday.

We have had a fabulous holiday really relaxing location but plenty in the area to do with the children or simply relax by the pool. Simone and David are the best hosts ever!

Myself, two grown up daughters plus my brother and sister-in-law had a wonderful week in Gites de Papillon. Simone was a perfect host and gave us much useful local information. The village of Sugur le Chateaux is fabulous and one of the officially niominated most beautiful villages in France. Mondays in the village feature a local festival in season with long table seating and local producers selling great food and wine etc to eat at your outdoor table. The corner shop is where you order your croissants and pain au chocolat for the following day. Fabulous lake with beach and great restaurant 20 minutes away. Local kayaking down the Dronne river is great. Love this area.

We are family of 5 (kids 10,8 and 1) and we had the most wonderful holiday. Our 8 year old cried on the penultimate day as his holiday was coming to an end. The Gite and hosts were both amazing. Lots to do within an hours drive. We had a great variety of days out ranging from beautiful lakes, villages, swimming pools and plenty of long lunches. Can't recommend Papillion Gites enough.

I drove to the gite without the aid of Sat Nav and found it without any problems. Jasmin and myself were warmly welcomed upon our arrival by Dave and Simone. The Gite was so well equipped it was better than being at home. The grounds of the property were amazing, so much land to wander around and when it was warm and sunny, just laze around. Lubersac and Pompadour were both only a short drive away and the added bonus of the vets at pompadour being English speaking, infact 1 of the vets is Aussie, bonus! Although we stayed there in winter there was plenty for us to explore and tonnes of dog walks in the area. As to the Gite, well, loads of room, really, really well equipped and the log burner, to die for! Martin and Michelle really did think of everything!! I had the pleasure of meeting Martin and can honestly say he is a really great bloke, on that subject, Dave and Simone could not do enough for me, when my car gave up they sorted a mechanic for me, wood for the log burner, no probs, got that for me too, a vet, told me the best place to go. Was there a down side to my stay there? Yes, I was there 4 months and it was far to short a stay, over far too quickly, this is a place you will want to come back too again and again, I am already planning my next visit there if Martin and Michelle will have me back :)
