Fantastic location,well equipped, idyllic!

Schmabbit Leamington Spa
Review Submitted: August 4, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
I have just returned from one week holiday at Pech Giroux cottage and felt I wanted to write a review about this property as it was fantastic. The process of renting the cottage was well organised and we were provided with excellent information to make the best of our stay. The property itself is set in an idyllic location only short distances from all things you may want to see in the Perigord Noir, caves, Sarlat, canoeing, bastides, castles etc etc. The property was also extremely well equipped and has ample room, we were 2 families staying together and the fact there are 2 living rooms means that the children had somewhere to call their own area while we were away. I would thoroughly recommend this property and in fact we are seriously considering a return visit there next year. Many restaurants nearby, but as the weather was fantastic and we were in the pool til quite late we made much use of the fab gas powered barbeque!
