"Personnel très gentil, cuisine recherchée, par contre les WC sur le palier n étaient pas mentionnés dans aucune annonce. La salle de bain n'est pas séparée de la chambre, c est une cabine de douche dans la chambre. L'équipement est très en dessous de la moyenne de ce type d hôtel."

"Somewhat mixed feelings. We arrived and the budget room we had booked was tiny and had no draw space to put clothes and only a rail to hang things. We requested a larger room and got one at an extra cost which was fine.
The location was stunning over looking a field of sunflowers (its a shame they had gone past their best. We chose the hotel as it was out of the town but had a restaurant, unfortunately it was not open on the night we arrived (Friday night!) so we had to walk the busy road...

We had a wonderful stay despite the weather being mixed. The spa was a lovely treat when sitting by the pool wasn’t appealing - although make sure you book your hour as it fills up quickly. We had a lovely evening in the bar with music and tapas - it was meant to be in the rose garden but equally lovely. Unfortunately didn’t manage to have proper dinner as didn’t book in time - the restaurant is only small. Breakfasts were a highlight already though! We had a lovely family room which was a...

Agnes was amazing. Phoned ahead to say we would be delayed and arrive after front desk closed. Quickly sent a text to me detailing room no. Room code and wi-fi code. Took pressure off us on our late flight. Next morning she gave us some free coffees as we missed breakfast. A bubbly super friendly and helpful lady. Directions, iron borrowing etc. Room clean quiet cool (41 degrees outside!)
Cleaning staff all running around motivated and efficient. Thoroughly recommended.

We came for a weekend in the region and were very well looked after by the owners and their staff. Design was high spec and fitted with the local architecture. Food in the restaurant was great at breakfast and dinner. Would highly recommend!

Great hotel to spend a few nights but not really suitable to stay for a week as rooms are quite small and lack a fridge.
Bed and pillows are very comfortable and noise from other rooms minimal.
Great breakfast with an excellent choice of fresh produce, pastries and nuts/dried fruit.
All of the staff are very friendly and helpful and quick to respond to requests.
All areas within the hotel are clean and well maintained.
The hotel serves food at night (hot and cold buffet) and there are a few...

We had a great stay at La bayardine. Our studio was lovely, very clean and had all the facilities anyone could need. Breakfast was great and came along with suggestions of what we could do in the area. Great location with beautiful views and a nice walk into Sarlat centre. Thank you Frank and Nelly. A' bientot.

Couples seeking a peaceful retreat will appreciate the immediate countryside surrounding Gindou. This area is dotted with charming gîtes (holiday cottages) and chambres d'hôtes (bed and breakfasts), many with private pools and stunning views of the rolling hills and sunflower fields. It provides a secluded environment while still being a short drive from the village amenities and local markets.
