Photos and Description of the Sarlat la Caneda vacation cottage rental
Sarlat, Dordogne, four character cottages, original features and stunning views.

Lovingly restored, La Ferme de La Tour is an ensemble of beautiful old farm buildings dating back to the 16th century. Overlooking 2 1/2 acres of parkland, are four impeccably presented cottages / barn conversions, and a large chlorine free swimming pool. High on a hill, at the top of a valley, we are surrounded by magnificent countryside, a network of pretty footpaths and a neighbouring historical château. The breathtaking valley views, gardens and huge skies will overwhelm you with a feeling of peace and tranquillity disturbed only by the abundance of wildlife and the occasional distant tractor. The pool, which is bathed in sunshine from dawn to dusk, is perfectly sited to maximise the views enabling you to watch the ever changing colours of the Dordogne valley. Each gite has free WIFI and is highly recommended by the reviews of previous guests, please click below on MORE DETAILS.

WIFI is available throughout, with individual boosters in each gite, ensuring a good reception no matter where you are..........

On site activities include table tennis, boules, badminton, football net and swings..

We welcome families and couples alike, but sorry no children under five years of age and no pets.

Friendly but unobtrusive owners live on site...

About Chris and Kate Waters

We are an average family of four that originate from the village of Wroxham in Norfolk in the east of England.

Why did we move to France ? Why not...... We are, or should I say were, the same as most working families in the western world, devoted parents, but having to give ourselves and far too much time to careers which involve long hours and stress. So we looked for an alternative and France seemed like the right choice. The choice provided us with more stress and longer hours than you can imagine and for the first three or four years it was extremely hard work, both physically and mentally. However we are now reaping the benefits and enjoying our new life to the full, in one of the most beautiful areas we could have dreamed of living.

Chris and Kate Waters purchased this cottage in 2004
Why Chris and Kate Waters chose Sarlat la Caneda

We moved lock stock and barrel to the Sarlat area in 2004, buying a set of empty farm buildings that needed far too much work. But the position and the views had us hooked and nothing came anywhere near a close second. So here we are eight years on and the renovation complete, but not without some real highs and lows and a vast collection of stories and experiences.

What makes this cottage unique

The position is magical and just not possible to capture in a picture.

We have been extremely lucky to find a property with such a formula of character, views and location. We are close to Sarlat, which is the jewel of the Dordogne, yet in a truly rural setting in stunning countryside.

The Cottage - an idyllic rural retreat

5 of 5
Submitted: September 9, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
We have just returned from our second consecutive year staying at The Cottage. We'll be back in the future too!

With our two daughters, aged 9 and 7, we enjoyed another blissful fortnight amidst the tranquil surroundings of La Ferme de la Tour.

The Cottage is superbly maintained and the stunning view from the very private terrace means you will be eating outside at every opportunity!

The spacious pool is very clean and enjoyed by all guests, especially the weekly night-time swim, which was a huge treat for our girls, meaning they could stay up late...

The huge garden provides a terrific space for children and grown-ups alike, and the trampoline had an awful lot of use from our two.

Chris and Kate are wonderful hosts, with a very much 'in-the-background, hands-off' approach, but they are always there if you need them. We were immensely grateful to them last year especially, as our car broke down at the end of week one and Chris very kindly took us shopping and to a night market.

The picturesque medieval town of Sarlat is about a 10-minute drive away, and the market days there are highly recommended. We also enjoyed canoeing trips down the Dordogne, trips to the plenteous chateaux lining the river cliffs, the bustling night market at Belves, the quiet, prehistoric Vezere valley, the excellent Quercyland water-park at Souilliac, the Gouffre de Padirac caves and the beautiful town of Rocamadour, carved out of the sheer rock-face. There are some lovely circular walks from La Ferme itself too, where you're likely not to bump into another soul as you wander past walnut groves and into leafy glades.

Highly recommend La Ferme de la Tour as a perfect base for the delights of the region and also for a quiet and restful retreat where you can truly unwind and relax. We'll be back soon!

Een prachtige week in Dordogne

5 of 5
Submitted: July 30, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
Wij verbleven een week in The Cottage en de enige negatieve opmerking die we over dit verblijf konden maken is dat het te kort was. De woning is zeer volledig ingericht met vaatwasser, wasmachine, microgolf,... Het uitzicht over de vallei is prachtig. De woning en het hele domein zijn perfect onderhouden. De eigenaars wonen ter plaatse maar dat is in dit geval een voordeel en geen nadeel. Chris Waters is altijd aanspreekbaar voor alle mogelijke vragen maar is vooral een fijne en discrete gastheer. De omgeving is bijzonder geschikt voor wandelaars die houden van lange wandelingen langs smalle asfaltwegen of goed bewandelbare paden. Sarlat is een aangenaam stadje met een rijke keuze aan restaurants. Er zijn enkele golfterreinen in de omgeving waarvan 1 uitgetest (Lollivaries : sympathieke ontvangst, terrein niet overdreven moeilijk). Wijnliefhebbers moeten zeker een bezoekje brengen aan de wijngaarden en wijnkelders van Bergerac, vooral Monbazillac is een mooie streek.
Ook het bezoek aan een typische avondmarkt met allerhande eetkraampjes is de moeite waard. Maar ook gewoon rustig een boek lezen op het terrein of aan het zwembad is een optie. Ik zou deze locatie zeker aanraden en hoop er zelf nog terug te keren.

Fabulous Holiday Location

5 of 5
Submitted: June 27, 2011 Stayed: June 2011
We had a superb stay at The Cottage in June 2011. The accomodation and surroundings really are as good as they look in the photos and the views across the valley are wonderful. Although the weather wasn't great whilst we we there, the Cottage is such a lovely place to be that this did not detract from our trip. Our hosts were extremely friendly and, as well as resolving small difficulties very promptly, provided some excellent tips for local restaurants and and places to visit. Overall, a really great venue for a relaxing vacation.

Sunshine and a glorious view

Submitted: May 12, 2011 Stayed: April 2011
The Cottage was all we had hoped for and as described on the web. It was spotlessly clean and equipped with everything we needed for a stressfree holiday. Chris and Kathy the owners are friendly, provide excellent assistance and advice when needed. The location and view from our terrace is incredibly beautiful and the large grounds provide excellent play area for our children, who were outside all the time using the many play resources provided. We would be very happy to go back again one day and happily recommend this property.

September holiday

4 of 5
Submitted: September 21, 2010 Stayed: September 2010
We are two old fogies in our mid seventies. We had a most enjoyable week at the Cottage which was clean and bright with delightful country views. The surrounding countryside is most attractive and nightime silence is only interrupted by the hoot of an occasional owl.
The owners, Chris and Kate live on site and are most helpful and anxious to please. We had superb weather with temperatures in the low 80's and ejoyed the occasional Pimms on the small terrace.
We did not use the pool but it did look inviting.
If you have weather as good as ours we are sure you would have an equally enjoyable holiday
