Pet Friendly La Crèche

The gite was lovely. It was in a very rural area with some nice villages and restaurants nearby. We had a couple of problems with the television, which was unfortunate given the Euros and Wimbledon were on but thank you to Gerard he got the problem sorted. The beautiful pool was a bonus and was needed to cool off from the heat.

Excellent séjour, dans un gîte remarquablement aménagé. Nonobstant la beauté architecturale (traditionnelle) du gîte, il faut noter la tranquillité du lieu, et sa proximité eu égard aux sites remarquables de la Dordogne . Accueil super des propriétaires. Que du bonheur ! Michel et Martine

Das Ferienhäuschen , eine Art cottage, ist liebevoll und rundum komfortabel eingerichtet. Die unmittelbare Umgebung ist wie ein englischer Park . Vor allem mit den herzlichen Gastgebern, die jederzeit auch hilfreich sind, ergibt das die besten Rahmenbedingungen für einen erholsamen Urlaub im Perigord.

The gite has all the necessary facilities and, although close to the owner's house, has its own private terrace. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was spacious.It is ideal for pets as the grounds are extensive and there are plenty of walks and a lake nearby.

Séjour absolument merveilleux et emplacement de rêve, tout a été très bien pensé, maison très très bien équipée, pas de voisinage donc aucun bruit pas de vis à vis. Beaucoup beaucoup de charme pour la maison. Nous reviendrons c’est certain. Les propriétaires sont adorables tout y est même Zoé labrador absolument mignonne comme tout qui nous a accompagné tout le séjour, un vrai bonheur.

We stayed a week in the beautiful little house and loved every minute. The huge garden, the great pool, the beautiful surroundings. And the silence. It was absolutely quiet, with the sounds of birds, trees and the horses. The dog Zoe, was adorable. Quiet, happy to play with but by no means irritating or noisy. The hosts are great and welcoming, thank you Gerard and Christine! The house is only two kilometers from the lovely village of Issigeac. We had breakfast and a coffee every morning over there at the small terrace of Bar l’Europe, next to the church (bring your own croissants). The location is great for discovering all the lovely villages in the Dordogne.

The setting of the property is just beautiful. It is so tranquil. The property itself is very charming. In addition it is very well equipped with a large living room and a decent sized kitchen with everything that you would need. The swimming pool area is a fantastic addition as well. Gerard and Christine are both very friendly and helpful. Overall it was a wondefully relaxing two weeks and we will definitely be back again.

What a find! We can't recommend this gite enough, from the point of view of location, peace and quiet, everything you could need, beautiful refreshing swimming pool, gorgeous weather and great hosts. The gite is spacious, clean and nicely furnished, with an extremely comfortable big bed and powerful modern shower. Set just outside Issigeac, it's close enough for nipping in to eat or shop, but far enough away to not be bothered by passing traffic, etc. The market on Sunday mornings is renowned and has won awards and it's easy to see why. There are several restaurants in Issigeac, all superb. We had two lovely lunches in L'Atelier and L'Ancienne Gare and two fantastic evening meals - L'Atelier again and La Brucelière. We also enjoyed a snack lunch at the galleterie one day when we didn't want a full meal. Around the area you have a number of picturesque Bastide villages and towns (Villeréal, Castillonès, Montpazier, Montbazillac, Beaumont-en-Perigourd), and if you're prepared to travel further afield then Beymac and Sarlat are wonderful. We also visited some vineyards in the region, and St Emilion was absolutely stunning. We went to Cahors, but the best place to sample the wines is in the vignobles outside the city, although if you do go to Cahors make sure you take some photos of the famous mediaeval bridge. We will definitely be back to see Gerard, Christine and Zoe again in the future, and our dog was made very welcome by Zoe. It was lovely to have her greet us back from a day trip out, always with her favourite ball in her mouth. Thank you both very much for everything ... And, yes, we did manage to get the puzzle finished before we left!
