Petit lieu de paradis

Nous avons passé un super séjour dans ce petit coin de paradis. Maison très agréable avec jardin clôturé idéal pour notre chien. Un super accueil, avec de quoi dîner à notre arrivée (oeufs, fromage, beurre, pains frais , vin, bière ) . Très bonne literie avec lit fait à notre arrivée. Linge de maison fourni ( serviette de bain, torchons) Je recommande vivement l'endroit, beaucoup de jolies petits villages à visiter. (Château de Jumilhac très belle endroit) . Plan d'eau de Nantheuil..pour la partie baignade. Merci Holly et Glenn

Vacances reposantes

C’est en pleine campagne, petit et cosy. On entend parfois l’âne du voisin, mais avec le lac de Saint Hilaire, la fête médiévale du château du Lastour, le parc Bellevue de Limoges et la grotte de Villars, les enfants se sont bien amusés. On a même pu regarder les Esperides depuis les supers transats du jardin. Très bon séjour ! Merci aux hôtes.

Cadre très agréable et accueil parfait

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans un cadre agréable. Le gîte est très fonctionnel et joliment décoré. Petit bémol pas de réseau ni de wifi à l'intérieur. Gite situé à 8 km de Jumihlac. Glen et Holly sont d'une grande gentillesse et disponibilité. Merci pour le panier d'accueil. Je recommande.

Excellent accueil et calme

Nous avons passé un excellent sejour dans une petite maison au calme avec notre chien qui a pu gambader à loisirs, la cour étant complètement fermée . Nous remercions Holly pour son accueil chaleureux et sa réactivité à nos demandes.

Agréable séjour

Acceuil très sympathique, les propriétaires sont aux petits soins. Le gîte est très agréable, on s'y sent bien, c'est chaleureux. Un petit bémol sur le ménage qui pourrait être plus approfondi (poussière et toile d'araignée)

petit coin très agréable

Nous avons passé 6 jours dans cette charmante petite maison avec un jardin entièrement clôturé pour notre chien ! Les propriétaires vivant juste à côté, nous avons reçu un accueil très chaleureux avec des des petites attentions qui nous ont ravi (frigo rempli de fromage, lait, mousseux, mais aussi du pain des œufs). Un petit coin vraiment charmant et ressourçant!!!

Trés chouette séjour dans ce gîte à Jumilhac

Nous avons été trés chaleureusement accueillis par Holly et son mari. Ils sont en plus généreux. A notre arrivée, Des roses blanches décoraient la cuisine et le salon. Et nous avons eu la surprise, en ouvrant le frigo, de trouver des boissons et quelques petites choses à manger ...trés appréciable... Le gîte et son jardin sont des lieux agréables, où nous avons passé de trés bons moments. Toutes les conditions réunies pour passer de bonnes vacances!

About the host

Host profile image
Hello!
We are an english family who have settled the beautiful region of the dordogne having travelled extensively across Europe and fell in love with this area .
We are on our own journey of creating our forever home, renovating, improving, working and exploring.
We wanted to offer our gite to anyone who would like a change of pace as we know what the 'rat race' is like and what some quiet solace can do for the mind and body.
We fell in love with the Dordogne many years ago, and got married in this area too at our local chateau in Jumilhac-le-Grand.

Why they chose this property

We found our forever home here, and married at Chateau Jumilhac-le-Grand, so this in essence is our happy place!

What makes this property unique

Our gite comprises of a kitchen, twin bedroom and lounge on the ground floor, and a double bedroom and bathroom on the first floor.

The kitchen is equipped with oven, hob, fridge freezer and all plates & accessories, plus a dining table in the kitchen itself.

The bathroom has a shower, sink and toilet facilities.

All bed linens are provided.

In the garden there is a patio table and parasol to provide some shade on a hot day, 4 lounger beds, and a bbq.

The garden is fully fenced and enclosed.
