Beautiful property close to Sarlat and all its attractions

We loved the location; completely private yet close enough to Sarlat to enjoy an evening out eating in one of the many restaurants. There is so much to see and do around the area; canoeing, chateaux, beautiful villages and of course a homely, tranquil environment to return to after a day's excursions. The weather was exceptionally hot during our stay so the pool was a very welcome element of our holiday!

PERFECT!!

Our family of six (two adults and four children) visited Le Pouget in April and had a perfectly wonderful time! In advance of our trip, Paula and Barry sent us information so that we could plan fun activities. They also met us at the bungalow upon arrival to answer any questions and make sure we had all that we needed. The weather was beautiful and we were able to make ample use of the pool, table tennis and patio. With four small children, we especially appreciated the many toys and activities they had in the house. The lodging was very clean and well-maintained. Paula, Barry and Reese were fabulous hosts and we thoroughly enjoyed visiting with them. We would highly recommend this rental home for a holiday...everything was perfect!

Perfect location in an idyllic setting.

Le Pouget is exactly as advertised with absolutely no disappointments.The garden is obviously the biggest draw and lives up to all expectation. Although it would appeal to people bringing children, we found it to be perfect for a couple looking for a an ideal spot to explore from during the day as well as being only 15 mins. drive into Sarlat in the evening.We went after 6pm and parking avail. was excellent.No little time spent enjoying a few glasses of wine in the garden,either! The added bonus of the E.Leclerc supermarket 10 mins down the road is that you can access their free WiFi should you need to.Paula & Barry could not be more welcoming.Places easily reached from here are Rocamadour ( stunning, but stop in car-park on hill opposite for fabulous aspect / photo )Beynac & La Roque-Gageac ( for enjoyable boat trip ). Domme is where you get the best view of the river valley and it's well worth it.Excellent location and many thanks to our lovely hosts!

Viele Sehenswürdigkeiten innerhalb von 15 bis 30 min Fahrt. Alles zusammen ein sehr gelungener Urlaub.

Maison

Première impression bonne ,terrain agréable petit coin extérieur joli mais la maison est moyenne le ménage n’était pas bien fait insectes morts sur plan de travail de la cuisine,toiles d’araignée dans tous les coins de toutes les pièces au plafond avec les araignées qui vont avec.Invasion de blattes dans la cuisine le mercredi matin quand je me suis levée.Literie de mauvaise qualité matelas tout mou,armoire de la chambre qui tient à peine debout du coup les vêtements sont restés dans la valise et l’armoire de l’autre chambre sentait le renfermé donc pas mieux. En ce qui concerne le salon les chaises ne sont pas adaptées à la table qui est trop basse du coup du mal à mettre les jambes ,un canapé clic clac pas top et le deuxième canapé a du faire son temps car quand vous vous installez vous vous enfoncez.Manque de confort général mobilier trop bas de gamme.Nous avons laissé la maison fermer car la semaine où nous sommes parti c’était la canicule donc nous voulions garder la fraîcheur et la nuit nous ne comprenions pas pourquoi les moustiques nous attaquaient alors que tout était fermé en fait à bien y regarder il y a un jour sur certaines fenêtres du coup les moustiques nous avaient pour cible autant dire que les nuits étaient courtes. Les plus la piscine et la région et les propriétaires sont gentils mais la maison a besoin d’être améliorée,sans parler des poignées de portes qui ne tiennent pas et que je me suis pris sur le pied,la balançoire est en triste état.

Fijne vakantiewoning

Deze fijne vakantiewoning ligt op 10 minuten rijden van Sarlat, een mooie middeleeuwse stad met veel terrasjes en restaurantjes, mooie panden en authentieke smalle straatjes. Het vrijstaande vakantiehuis is goed bereikbaar, heeft een volledig afgesloten, grote tuin met een eigen zwembad. De Engelse eigenaren wonen in de buurt, zijn heerlijk relaxed en willen heel graag dat je het als vakantieganger goed naar het zin hebt in hun woning. Je mag alles gebruiken wat er staat, van fietsen tot tafeltennistafel en speelgoed voor de kinderen. Zelf waren wij met 4 volwassenen en 2 honden die vrij konden rondlopen in de tuin. Een bakker voor heerlijk vers brood is op een paar minuten afstand met de auto maar daarvoor kun je ook 1 van de fietsen pakken. Kortom een heerlijk rustig plekje om vakantie te vieren.

A nice cottage, detached, in a quiet neighbourhood. Although the home interior is somewhat dated, everything is there. The garden is huge with a nice pool. The porch is really lovely. There is a playground for children. Even bikes are available. Sights are nearby (Sarlat, Rocamadour, Beynac, Domme). The owners are very friendly and helpful. We really had a good time here!

Fantastic holiday home!

Paula and Barry were wonderful hosts, from answering questions we had before even booking, up until check out. The house is a perfect base for exploring the local area. The garden was brilliant for the kids and the pool was thoroughly enjoyed by all. So many extra bits and bobs in the house were provided which made life so much easier on arrival. Highly recommend the Pizzeria a 5 minute walk down the road. We wouldn’t hesitate to return to Le Pouget!

Enjoyable vacation in a great location

The property was well-located bearing in mind our planned activities: visiting (Rocamadour, Domme and Chateau de Castelnaud), swimming (Quercyland), and canoeing (35km from Calviac-en-Périgord to Beynac-et-Cazenac). The small swimming pool at the property was great for cooling off the kids (and adults) at the end of hot days in the sun. There was a good selection of garden equipment for the kids (swings, slides, bikes, table-tennis, etc), and garden furniture (including BBQ) for relaxing in the evenings. The provision of UK satellite TV was helpful in terms of entertaining the children. The property was quiet and peaceful, set within beautiful countryside, although near enough to Sarlat to enable quick visits to the shops (e.g. the E. Leclerc hypermarché). The property looked a little more tired in terms of decoration than it had done in the promotional photographs, but that is often the case and everything was actually clean and functional. The gite's friendly and helpful owners welcomed us warmly on our arrival, and were willing to respond to any questions or concerns that we had during the week. That was reassuring. Overall, we had a really enjoyable week.

About the host

Hosted by Paula & Barry Grainger

Host profile image
Originally from Ireland, we moved lock, stock and barrel in 2005 selling up our business and taking the plunge to this stunning region and have never looked back, especially as this has been a wonderful area to bring up our son and with easy flights back to Ireland and to the UK we can still keep in touch with our friends and family...

Why they chose this property

We kept passing this cottage on our search for our own house... We knew that we wanted to run a holiday home and after staying in a few holiday homes ourselves had a good idea what we were looking for.. we knew we wanted the property to have an enclosed garden, to be on one level so small children and guests with mobility problems had easy access, to have off street parking, a view of the countryside and to be near to our favourite medieval town of Sarlat. After giving all these details to our estate agent, she pulled out the details of ' Le Pouget'... the house that we kept passing... so of course we had to take a proper look... this is when we fell in love with the cottage and could see the potential for a relaxing atmosphere for adults and a safe, fun environment for children and the added bonus of being a stones throw from our favourite medieval town..

What makes this property unique

Location, Location, Location... not only is the cottage surrounded by countryside but only a stone's throw from all the fantastic sights of the Perigord noir ...After refurbishing our cottage and landscaping the garden we could sit back and relax and enjoy the view of the countryside and could just imagine waking up and opening the French doors from the lounge to enjoy breakfast on the terrace or listening to the birds and watching the wildlife while enjoying a glass of that our son was having as much fun as we were in the enclosed garden. One of our favourite things is sitting outside in the garden on a balmy and clear Summers night when the stars are so close it feels like you can touch them... very romantic...
