Lovely property
We’ve just spent a lovely week at this house. Had everything we needed for our family of 2 adults and 2 children age 9 and 10. The location is perfect. House and garden are very private not overlooked with beautiful views. Nearest 2 villages with bakeries, shops and restaurants are 5 and 8 minute drives away. La roque-gageac is just 15 minutes drive away where we spent a great day hiring kayaks on the river. There’s lots to do in the area.

Lovely house, pool and setting
Ideal property for large family group or 2 families or family with older teenagers as the lower ground is like a suite of bedrooms as is the top floor so everyone can have a bit of space. Pool is lovely. Area is beautiful - everything is in very easy reach of the property. Very friendly, helpful house manager who speaks excellent English. Would highly recommend.

An excellent holiday property and venue
We were all delighted with our holiday at this excellent property in the Dordogne. The accommodation was great for the six of us and would easily house 8 people. It was spacious, cool when it was very hot outside and very well appointed. It had everything that you might need and the kitchen was particularly well equipped. We made maximum use of the beautiful pool which definitely benefitted from being heated. The constant 28º C was a delight for the children and adults alike. There was plenty of outside shade and the umbrellas around the pool and the house were a definite bonus as the weather was sunny and very warm for the whole of the 2 weeks that we were at Le Pigeonnier at the end of June. We all enjoyed the various seating areas which maximised the use of either sun or shade depending on the time of day. We particularly liked sitting looking at the distant view each evening with a cool drink, guessing how many hot air balloons we might see in the distance! Quite a bit of wildlife to keep us all alert too. Numerous birds including treecreepers and hoopoes; red squirrels, deer, hare in the garden and many chickens, goats, dogs and cats, frogs etc in the neighbouring farm. Plenty to keep the children interested! The nearby villages were exciting to explore and a delight for the occasional coffee and lunch. Shopping for essentials was very easy and the information in the house directed us to the best supermarkets and boulangeries. Shops in Daglan were close. The Pilo in Cénac was excellent for a vast range of breads and unbelievable cakes and pastries. We visited most of the small and larger markets in the area, all listed in the house book, each had it’s own particular benefit. The Truffle Market in Daglan proved very interesting and obviously focused on local summer truffles. We found leaving early for the market in Sarlat was good advice from David the pool cleaner. We missed all the traffic into Sarlat and found parking easy. Get there by 9.00 am if you can and enjoy breakfast in the square! The owner, Fabienne, was extremely friendly throughout the booking process, while we were at the property and following our return to the UK. She couldn’t have been more helpful. We had a wonderful time at Le Pigeonnier and would highly recommend it to our friends and family.

Dear Greg, I am so glad that you fully enjoyed your holidays and I must say that you are good guests and the communication with you is really easy. I can't believe you've seen a deer in the garden ! Near the woodland at the back of the garden, far from the house, I guess. But you are the second guest who watches one (make a wish !). We'll be very happy to welcome you again.

A beautiful house in a fantastic location.
What a fantastic place! We stayed at the beginning of September and had a wonderful time. The house is bright, spacious and very well designed. The living area is large and was perfect for our group that consisted of two families (4 adults and 5 children ranging from 7 -16 years old). The kitchen is fabulous, it has everything you could possibly want or need, with a stunning view to match. If you like to cook, this is the place to do it as it’s better equipped than my kitchen at home! The owner, Fabienne, left us some delicious wine and all of the essentials such as teabags, olive oil, sugar, salt, washing up liquid etc, which was a very nice personal touch. The garden is vast, with a super swimming pool surrounded by sun loungers and has breathtaking view of the local countryside. There is a barbecue and seating area where we enjoyed several alfresco meals whilst watching the hot air balloons rise over the hills in the evening. The bathrooms are all very clean and have fantastic showers. The beds are comfortable and there is ample space in each room for clothes storage. There are beautiful pieces of antique furniture mixed with the contemporary which works very well. We particularly liked the pastel-painted drawers which complemented the shadows cast by the incredible overhead light shade in the living room - amazing attention to detail all round. The location is perfect for exploring near by Daglan, Domme and Sarlat. The nearest supermarket is in Cénac-et-Saint-Julien - a 10 minute drive away, which has everything, including a very good butchers, cheese counter and very reasonably priced wine. The town also has a fantastic Artisan Boulangerie, 'Les Delices de Pito' where you can buy delicious fresh croissants, pastries and bread from early in the morning. To sum up, we were delighted with this holiday home and wish we could have stayed longer. It has everything you could possibly want and left us all feeling very relaxed. Thank you Fabienne.

Lovely house in a beautiful location.
We stayed in this lovely house with our family, 8 of us in total for the first week in September. The house is charming and full of character, and has been renovated to a very high standard. The bedrooms were very comfortable and the fact that each room had an en suite bathroom made things very convenient eg: no queuing for the shower. The house was spacious enough to accommodate 3 generations of our family easily, ( the youngest being 20 months). We all had our own space and the kitchen was well equipped and big enough for several of us to be working in there at the same time. The weather we had was so good that nearly all of our meals were eaten outside on the patio overlooking the pool, and there is also a barbecue that we used one evening. Breakfast was always eaten inside on the large family table. Fresh bread and croissants can be bought from the boulangere in the nearby village of Daglan. The heated pool was constantly in use and was big enough for all, and it was the area for lots of fun and games. The owner Fabienne Saugier is very helpful and replied to all my emails within a day, and the caretakers of the property are friendly and accessible. We didn't need to bother them when we were there as everything was perfect. The house is positioned in a truly beautiful area and there are many places to visit nearby, but the weather was so good and the house so tranquil and comfortable most of our days were spent relaxing around the pool. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this house and my only regret is that we couldn't stay for longer.

Propriété très agréable et confortable, (lits de bonne qualité, cuisine très bien équipée), avec une vue superbe sur la vallée et un grand terrain qui a permis aux enfants de jouer dehors. Nous sommes venus pour les fêtes de Noël et avons apprécié l'endroit, même si c'était l'hiver. Ce doit être magnifique l'été...

Wonderful Spacious, Clean, and Relaxing House
We were 6 adults who spent 10 days in this wonderful property. First, Mrs. Saugier was extremely responsive to all our questions while preparing for the trip. She always answered our email messages very promptly with lots of useful information. Second, once in the house, Myriam made sure that we were welcomed and showed us around. The house is extremely well equipped, from kitchen utensils, to blankets, sheets, and also a booklet/guest book of very well written instructions, in English as well as French. There are several places outside the house (in the yard) where one can sit and enjoy conversations regardless of the time of the day (if you want to be in the shade). The swimming pool is great too. We took daily trips to many different cities and villages, mainly for sightseeing. Mrs. Saugier' guest book has many useful hints on what to visit and where to shop and also eat. In summary, we very highly recommend this place.

Définitivement une très agréable maison !
Chère Fabienne, c’est à nouveau avec beaucoup de plaisir que nous avons passé cette fois-ci 2 semaines dans votre maison (10 jours l’année dernière). Elle procure toujours autant de dépaysement, confort, chaleur à l’accueil, calme et fonctionnalités. Votre disponibilité et gentillesse ainsi que celles de Myriam sur place sont de vrais plus. Et la situation idéale de votre propriété nous a encore permis d’explorer la région facilement. Le temps a été moins clement cette année mais la piscine chauffée nous a permis d’en profiter quand même. À très bientôt !

Hortense et sa famille sont des locataires parfaits. Ils sont charmants et comme l'année dernière, ont laissé la propriété en très bon état. Communication très aisée. Cela m'a fait immensément plaisir qu'ils reviennent cette année. J'étais bien désolée pour eux que le temps ait été instable, alors que bien sûr, il s'arrange maintenant juste après leur départ. Je recommande très vivement cette famille.

Juste magique. Mes enfants m'ont dit : "Maman, ce sont nos plus belles vacances..." émouvant non ? Nous étions 10 et la maison est vraiment adaptée aux grandes familles. C'est si grand que chacun a son petit univers. Fabienne a pensé à tout dans la maison qui est aussi décorée avec beaucoup de goût. Bravo. Myriam qui nous a accueilli mérite également des éloges, elle est super sympa, très accueillante et la maison était nickel. L'environnement est paradisiaque, la maison à une vue imprenable. Nous conseillons cette location, vous ne serez pas déçus. D'ailleurs nous songeons nous mêmes à y revenir.

en un mot : super !
Nous avons passé 11 jours dans cette maison et avons été conquis par le niveau de prestations (maison très propre, bien agencée, et bien équipée : pour ceux qui aiment cuisiner il y a tout !). La piscine chauffée est un vrai plus. Maison au calme mais pas isolée et proche de tous les sites. Une propriétaire disponible et agréable avec un service très réactif. La cerise sur le gâteau : un excellent pâtissier à proximité pour les gourmands. Bref on reviendra, c'est sûr.
