Such a peaceful place to holiday
As a family I’m not sure we’ve ever relaxed as quickly as on this holiday!!! Temperature was VERY hot for the feral qeek so the pool was a godsend, it’s a very “English” area of France, so all supermarkets even sold foodie essentials for my girls like baked beans! We would happily recommend this property to anyone who wants peace and quiet. The only downside was the insect bites. But I assume sue to the extreme heat (40+ some days) we were afflicted more than usual. Even saying that, we’d happily return.

Good Pool. House Tired.
Good things: Pool - nice size and shape Outside - lots of seating and playing space. Size of house - comfortable dimensions Location of house - if you’re happy with peace and isolation. Lots of great markets and canoeing nearby. Dog friendly Not so good things; Not particularly clean on arrival. A bit musty and dusty. Evidence of previous renters a bit too obvious. I brought this up with the owner who has made steps to address the issue. Perhaps useful; The quiet and private aspect of the house means no nearby bakery. We drove a few miles into Eymet for our daily bread and croissant. A cycle is possible but you’d have to be an enthusiast - the uphill homeward trip would challenge most. If you like your coffee, bring your own coffee making facilities.

Peace with the Sun flowers
This is a lovely property in the middle of the peaceful countryside. A great place to relax and read books in the sunshine or the shade if it gets too hot. If you want history you have cave paintings, Bastides and the modern aircraft museum at Toulouse. Two weeks just flew by it was green in June until the sunflowers came out in our second week.

Summer holiday
We chose this property as it was close to my sisters wedding. It’s a lovely sweet charming home, the children enjoyed swimming in the pool, lizard spotting (attempts to catch) or chilling on their electronics. I enjoyed walking through the gorgeous plum farm behind the property and spotting the wild dear in the corn fields. We visited the town of Eymet and Bergerac which were beautiful places, definitely need a camera. We live in a busy Kent town so I absolutely enjoyed the peace and utter seclusion this property gives. It’s a perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle back home.

Tranquil, rural idyll close to Eymet
We loved our stay in this stone property with its own private pool. The kitchen diner is spacious and well equipped, the master bedroom attractive and comfortable, similarly the lounge. We found that even in temperatures of 30 plus the interior stayed cool with the doors closed. We liked having different seating areas around the front, back and side of the house to take advantage of the views, peace, and shade. Highly recommend.

Wonderful!
We had a lovely break. The owners could not have been more helpful in making us welcome. The facilities were second to none with all you could need for a relaxing family holiday.

Lovely!
The owners of the property are absolutely brilliant! Communication was clear and they checked we were ok etc. The property itself is an excellent size and really tastefully furnished and decorated. A lot of effort has gone into making it a comfortable and pleasant place to stay. The pool is great!!! Lovely size and the perfect place to relax with family. We would thoroughly recommend it and would very happily return one day!

Fantastic location, beautiful property.
Wonderful week, lovely gite in Saint Aubin, everything you need in the Gite, very spacious, the owner (Helen) on hand if any info required. Wonderful pool which due to the hot temperatures we were in most if the time. 7 mins or so from Eymet which had a Supermarket for all your needs, restuarants also in Eymet to serve all tastes. Would highly recommend staying here. Thank you Helen. X

Pure relaxation
Located on a small chicken farm, the property is surrounded by fields and vineyards, with great views over to the local village. Eymet is the closest town with everything you need from good restaurants to supermarkets. The pool was crystal clear, and perfect for the 30 degree days. Highly recommended and would not hesitate in staying again.

Relaxing!
We spent a lovely week in the barn, it was just what we wanted/needed. Close enough to the towns for provisions but then we could get away and just chill. Pool was great, although being in the short side I struggled to get out of it elegantly, to the amusement of the rest of our group.

Lovely house in a beautiful setting
The house is very comfortable and well equipped. It is a perfect place to relax by the pool in a peaceful, rural setting. There is also lots to do and many places to visit.We enjoyed canoeing, swimming at the lake, a day at Parc en Ciel and visiting local markets and towns. We had a brilliant week here and would highly recommend it.

Vacances aux calmes
Pour passer des vacances aux calmes loin de tout cette maison est parfaite , cependant si vous voulez visiter tous est relativement loin. Maison parfaite pour être en famille les chambres sont a l’écart du salon permet de pas déranger ceux qui se repose. Helen est tres réactive au moindre problème. Quelque petite choses à revoir dans l’électroménager. Beaucoup de moustique en cette période. Bonne expérience
