La Grande Maison Bergerac, Dordogne, Aquitaine, France

Nous avons réservé entre amis (3 couples avec enfants), ce fut un vrai plaisir tout à long de la semaine. Propriété très confortable, extérieurs très bien entretenus. Je recommande ! Propriétaires vraiment très agréables.

We had a wonderful break as a family in this beautiful house. We were two adults and three children, two teenagers and an 11-year-old. The house is immaculate and was beautifully presented with many of the little touches that you don’t necessarily expect with a rental. The fact that it is sometimes operated as a bed and breakfast meant that the kitchen was incredibly well stocked with crockery and utensils. Also, the utility area was very large and well specified. The bedrooms and bathrooms are also beautifully finished, with very comfy beds and modern fittings in the bathrooms. The pool and other outdoor areas are lovely and the garden is a really good size and very usable, with plenty of shade, if desired. Our hosts were very helpful while we were there, but not intrusive. There are no material downsides to this property. A quick check of location reveals that it is on a reasonably busy road close to the centre of Bergerac. In many respects, this is an advantage, but it does mean that there is some traffic noise. There is a small apartment block that overlooks the garden from one angle, but we did not see a soul on any of the balconies while we were there. Overall, we would not hesitate to visit again.

We had a great time in this large Bergerac house. Large and comfortable. Frederic and his mother were very hospitable and nothing was too much trouble. The house is well situated close to town and the river. The only concern was that the staircases to upper levels were both very narrow and spiral so may present some difficulty for people with compromised mobility. The meal that France made for us on our last evening was delicious and showed off local cuisine beautifully. Thanks Phyllis and Frederic for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home.
