I have lived and traveled in France many times over the last 20+ years but I've never been as relaxed and content as the last week in June at this cottage in Berbiguieres. I wish we had been there longer than a week because the charm of the village and the riches of the region continued to unfold (castles, wild mushrooms, kayaking...). I loved being in the kitchen cutting up fresh local produce while looking over other rooftops and up the meadow. There was a daily surprise, lightning over the castle, hummingbirds on the patio, glow worms on the walkways visible after midnight and one special grave in the cemetery. The cottage was charming and very well-equipped. The absence of phone, television, outside world other than radio is priceless. I still feel a bit heartsick not being there and we are thinking about when we can go to the cottage again, perhaps to see it in another season. Make sure to read the whole guestbook when you arrive; it has great information. My only real comment, the photos on this site do not do the cottage or village justice. Feel free to contact me so I can overwhelm you with more highlights.

My familiy and I stayed one week in this cottage in August 2008. The cottage is a lovely renovation in a charming little village. Staying in this little village was like steping back in time. The village is off the beaten path but well located for exploring the Dordogne. We would definitely return to this cottage. Many thanks to Katherine and David for making their cottage available.

We can only endorse many of the other positive remarks about this charming and most comfortable cottage in the Dordogne. This is not just a vacation cottage, the owners use it themselves and it has a lot of personal touches that one does not usually find in a rental. We would have liked to have had more time to just enjoy the cottage, but there are so many interesting places to visit...all easily reachable within a few hours drive at most. We have travelled in Europe quite extensively and this area of France is very special and amazingly unspoilt. Thank you Katherine and David for sharing your home with us.

This cottage in Berbiguieres was wonderful. It was like being in a fairytale with its rustic wood and thick stone walls, yet had all the mnodern conveniences. The location could not have been better with nearby 16th century castles, pre-history
caves with their paintings, and the beauty of the Dordogne. We look forward to going back.

This is an ideal cottage in a perfect Dordogne village. The owners have taken pains to ensure a comfortable stay with lots of home-like extras such as a small library, good pillows, and a Weber grill on the wonderful terrace--amenities that bely the sense that you are living in the midst of long ago.

We truly loved our time in Berbiguieres and could have spent much longer. The cottage met all of our hopes, let alone expectations, and when the personal touches extended to music, books and even cookbooks, we were enchanted.
Mornings with a cup of tea, windows open, listening to the country overlaid by occasional bells will be long savoured. Evenings spent with a glass of wine, sitting on the terrace watching the glorious stone walls come alive with colour will help sustain us through dreary winter nights.
The best recommendation I can give is that we have all agreed that we want return for a much longer time.
