Beautiful house,Périgord Noir, easy June promotion

This is a good place to stay if you value some peace and quiet. It is secluded in woodland, and there is very little traffic on the nearby road. The grounds are extensive but for the most part overgrown and inaccessible to all but the intrepid. The pool area layout is excellent and probably the best thing about the property, we spent lots of time down there. The pool itself is very well-maintained and a pleasure to swim in, day or night.The house has character and has been furnished in a quirky way with some interesting antique-style objects, which might not be to everyone's taste. There are hundreds of books but almost all are in French. Rooms are large and the furnishings comfortable. The kitchen is well-equipped but we were surprised not to find a more modern corkscrew, it being France.The nearby town of Montignac was a pleasant surprise, the old parts being very attractive. There is a good range of restaurants, encouraging us to eat out every night.All in all, we enjoyed our stay here.

Great overall, wonderful pool. Perfect compound for a family get together. Location is a bit isolated.

The house is beautifully situated and the layout with the terraces, outdoor dining table and pool area worked perfectly for our group of 5 adults. We found all we needed in the kitchen for dining in - plentiful fridge space and super Smeg cooker. The bedrooms and living spaces are full of quirky antique furniture and books everywhere (which we loved). The Wifi in the main house was strong.The reason for 4* is that the bathroom in the main house is intended to serve 3 bedrooms, so that could feel tight if there were more guests and the top floors creak so much that anyone going to the loo in the night is in danger of waking up everyone else. Obviously, not a problem for some but it was for us. Finally, we were at the house in the week of the heatwave and the bedrooms were very hard to cool down, despite the two excellent fans: we could have done with a fan in each bedroom and would suggest anti-insect mesh in the windows so that the windows could be kept safely open at night. All in all we had a wonderful stay and were delighted by the local area.

Pool was the only gem, general house would benefit from some general maintenance and better cleaning. There is no cleaning kit available to clean during stay. Kitchen has ant problem and most rooms have hairy caterpillar problems.Two double and one twin room in the main house share a bathroom. There is a further bathroom near the kitchen. The annex has en-suite bedrooms, one upper double with terrace and a lower level double and twin rooms. However the lower bedrooms smell musty with damp issues which seriously need to be addressed and were plagued with bug problems, (THEY SHOULD NOT BE USED UNTIL ISSUES ADDRESSED). The other is aware as there is a dehumidifier in the twin room which has to be emptied every day. Their upper bedroom, bathroom fans do not work and is causing mould. The terrace has over grown vines and ivy, and very slippy when wet.The garden is over grown plants on steps leading down to the pool with no handrail. Some patio furniture is in a poor condition, a chair leg gave way and our daughter was lucky not to have been seriously injured.I am sad to have written such bad feedback but the property is in a remote location and could be amazing with some general maintenance but is not in a standard other French holiday homes in which we have stayed and for that reason we would not recommend.

What a lovely property, we wish we could have stayed longer. It has everything we needed and expect. We highly recommend it and would definitely come back again. Communication from Bruno and Line was excellent
