Lazy Days in the Dordogne

Voyageur Cambridgeshire
Review Submitted: January 10, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2008
Our extended family party of 11 spent a week in this wonderful house in September. With ages ranging from 11 to 66, everybody was full of praise. The house was comprehensively equipped with all modern facilities, while located in a secluded rural setting. An extensive library of information on the local area was provided, which helped us to plan our excursions to some of the many points of interest in the area. The owners, Gillian and Ross, were very welcoming and were able to offer advice and provide further information if needed.

Everybody had a wonderful time and all members of the group were very impressed with the house and its facilities. The heated pool was a particular favourite with some, while others found the tranquil gardens particularly appealing. All agreed that it was the best holiday home we had stayed in.

Corner of Paradise

heureuse Sydney, Australia
Review Submitted: November 16, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
We arrived at Les Bourgézies Hautes and were entranced. The photos on the website don't do it justice and it was such a delight to find that it was even better than we'd imagined. It is the best equipped holiday rental that I have ever encountered (I've experience about 6). The house is comfortable and tastefully decorated. The garden beautiful. There are a number of separate areas for eating indoors and outdoors. There is a huge fireplace in the living room which is cosy and relaxing. On the colder days the central heating was extremely efficient.
The McKennas act as invisible guardians - there when you need them, but invisible the rest of the time

We were fortunate to have fine weather our first week and the pool was immaculate.

It is a very private location but central to all perigourdean excursions. La Bugue is ideal for shopping and one has the regular farmers' markets close for every day of the week.
I couldn't recommend it more highly.
I hope to return in the future since it is such a comfortable special place.

Haven Of Tranquility

Teemyob STOCKPORT
Review Submitted: November 14, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2007
Hello,

We came accross this property by pure chance. Only had a week to spare for holidays and wanted something different from the med.

Was a little bit unsure but booked the house. When we arrived the Owners, Ross & Gillian met us (we arrived late but they were very accomodating).

WOW is all we could say, delightfull property beautifuly and painstakingly restored by the McKennas. Everything we need was to hand and more besides. The owners were on hand when and if we needed them.

The pool can be heated for a reasonable charge and is situated away from the house so as not to distract from its period setting. It is gated and very safe. Having the pool away from the house is a bonus as the playfull ones can have fun whilst thise wanting a little more peace and quite can rest by the house in beatifull surroundings.

The house itself is very warm and cosy and has an open fire in the huge lounge and a log burner in the kitchen. Pleanty of bedrooms and an ajoining barn conversion.

The layout of the house is ideal for large groups or smaller ones. For example when we stayed my Niece and her young family occupied the attached barn, my family stayed in the main house and there is an addtional detached bedroom next to the kitchen.

This realy is a place to relax, very quiet during the day and in the evening the lack of light polution means you can see the galaxy shining above you on a clear evening.

One of the best properties we have rented, a real gem and worth every penny.

Good points, too numerous.
Bad points, not a single one.

Ideal getaway and a refreshing change from the hustle and bustle of the Medeteranian and Atlantic coasts.

We have now bought a motorhome so no longer rent cottages and villas. However, this Farmhouse is Number 1 on our list should we ever decide to rent again.

Trevor & Family
STOCKPORT UK
Owner's Response: The extra charge for the pool heating applied only because it was late October - otherwise there is none.

The 'barn conversion' mentioned is what we have called 'the family room'.

Perfect location in France

M14 Oxfordshire, UK
Review Submitted: September 8, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
For the first week we saw little of the lovely surrounding area as we enjoyed the beautifully kept gardens, the pool and the house itself. In the second week we explored and were rewarded with ancient towns, markets, castles, forest walks and caves.

For a family, finding a property that is quiet and safe for the kids, but also fun, can be tricky - but this property has it all. The pool is securely fenced (and discretely sited away from the house) and heated so the whole family can dive in but only when parents want them to! The gardens and surrounding fields/woods allow everyone to relax and explore at their own pace - there is no traffic nearby to worry about.

All in all we had high hopes but every aspect of the property exceeded our expectations.

Fabulous Farmhouse In Wonderful Setting !

JacMac London, UK
Review Submitted: June 18, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008
Les Bourgezies Hautes is simply a magical place to be.Idealy situated down it's own meandering little lane to afford complete privacy, yet only a five minute drive to the bustling little town of Le Bugue.

We were enchanted from the first moment with the house and the beautifully maintained grounds. Inside the property is welcoming and wonderfully equipped. Such a pleasant change to rent a house with a kitchen ready to use ! Oils and vinegars, herbs and spices all provided and plenty of utensils, serving dishes, pots and pans - bliss !! In the lovely comfortable sitting room, a cupboard full of games, DVDs and CDs which were particularly welcome since the first 2 days of our holiday the weather simply refused to co-operate and we were stuck indoors ! All the bedrooms were comfortable, light and airy - and 3 bath/shower rooms meant no arguments in the mornings!!

When the weather did "play ball," the gardens and the pool area were just heaven - our party consisted of adults, teenagers and 2 little boys of 6 and 7 and I can say without question that all of us loved spending time lazing in the sun and playing in the water. The lovely big table under the canopy of trees was perfect for long lunches and al fresco suppers at the end of the day.

However, we did manage to tear ourselves away to enjoy the caves 2 minutes away by car and to sample the gorgeous market on Tues which winds its way through the streets of Le Bugue. We ate in the cafes in Le Bugue and Les Eysies which is only around 10 - 15 minutes away by car.

We would definitely recommend this beautiful house, which is lovingly looked after by Gillian and Ross and would love to return ourselves in the not too distant future.

Jac, Adrian and family.
