The bed really is something else isn't it. I think because it is so big and also it is so quiet here too, no noise to keep people awake, makes for good long lie ins!! Thank you for sharing.

We thoroughly enjoyed our two weeks in the cottage. It is in beautiful surroundings and we loved watching the sun set from our terrace in the evening. It is within 10 minutes walking distance through a shady lane to the centre of the village and there is also a small supermarket and petrol station within 3 minutes drive. The cottage is centrally situated to access a wide variety of locations, all well worth seeing. The hosts were very friendly, happy to give ideas for visits and always ready to help, if needed. We were sad to leave.
If you want peace and quiet and beautiful views then this is the place, well sited to explore the Dordogne by car. Small but we had everything that was needed,
We spent 5 days last week and the little cortage is well located ! It is at the end of a country road with a wonderful view of the fields and a castle !
The place is very calm and peaceful.
The cottage is nice, big enough for 2 people and a weekend.
A special thank you to the host who's really nice and helpful and do her best to make you stay comfortable.
Beautiful location overlooking fields and forest, with a chateau across the valley. Within walking distance of Rouffignac, with supermarket, shops and restaurant. Fabulous places to visit nearby. Property flooded with light, very clean and size ample for two, although shower room on the small side. Pool great for the hot weather we had. Karen friendly and knowledgeable.

Little piece of paradise
From the beginning of our enquiry, right through to the departure time, we were made most welcome by the owners Karen and Steven. This was the holiday we most needed and we could not have picked a better place to relax and wind down. The property was everything we thought it would be and a bit more. Everything was as it was advertised and the gite was celan and well maintained. The village is a 5 minute walk away, there is a good selection of essential shops and places to buy food and groceries and whilst we had a car, fuel. The restaurants are good and we loved the Sunday food market. With such friendly local people, it made it easy to start conversations with strangers. The area is blessed with many walking trails and road walks to nearby other villages such as Plazac and Fleurac which are around 5 kilometres away. The accomodations provided to us were clean and comfortable and we had what we needed. The owners are a good source of local knowledge and give generously of their time to help out with great places to go to off the normal tourist track.
When you stay in this place get to appreciate the quiet and beautiful late afternoon/evening sunsets. The loveable family dog, Scooby, will soon adopt you and possibly you will adopt the baby chickens like we did. It makes for a very down to earth visit that suddenly comes to an end with a little sadness, but fond memories nevertheless.
Thank you to Karen and Steven for being such great hosts. We can only but recommend your property.

L'emplacement est idéal pour visiter la région. Le village est très accueillant, merci à Mr le Maire et son équipe pour la visite historique et nocturne du village.
très bon séjour au gîte Sunset. Gîte en pleine nature, dépaysant et calme. Propriétaire à disposition. Le village de Rouffignac est accueillant et les visites aux alentours sont nombreuses. Je conseille.
L’emplacement est parfait, les propriétaires présents et discrets. La salle d’eau est un peu juste pour les grands ou gros gabarits 😁.
Vacances très agréables
Un lieu idéal pour un couple d'amoureux. Le gîte n'est pas immense mais il y a tout ce qu'il faut pour être bien. La chambre est la pièce la plus spacieuse. Seule la salle de douche manque sincèrement d'un peu d'espace. La décoration des pièces est simple et jolie : un vrai dépaysement à la campagne! L'extérieur est adorable : la maison est dévorée de plantes vertes et de fleurs. Et la vue sur les champs / les vaches / le château est somptueuse. Le calme est royal. La piscine est parfaite pour se raffraîchir. plein de choses à découvrir / voir / visiter alentour. Grande surface accessible à pieds! Seul bémol : je n'avais pas compris qu'il y avait le même gîte juste à côté. Pas du tout grave, mais je ne l'avais pas compris dans l'annonce et la promiscuité est réelle. Une belle adresse pour une douce parenthèse dans une région incroyable!
Petit gîte bien équipé et très agréable au bout d’une impasse au calme. La petite piscine privative est la bienvenue après les chaudes journées de balade.
Karen la propriétaire Anglaise nous a même fait profiter des œufs extra frais de ses poules👍.
Effectivement la salle d’eau est très petite mais on s’en contente.
Très bon séjour pour une semaine d’intenses visites des magnifiques sites de Dordogne.
Si vous avez besoin de calme et besoin de décompresser alors foncez!!
Tout est apaisant au cottage, paysage bucolique, les poules qui se promènent,
les vaches qui s'invitent au p'tit déj. Karen est une hôte autant discrète que disponible, ce cottage est aménagé avec goût et les oeufs retrouvés sur la table étaient un pur délice.
Un très bel endroit à retenir.
Très belle location avec une vue splendide et dégagée ! Deux gîtes l'un à côté de l'autre, séparé par des haies végétales. Chaque gîte dispose de sa petite piscine privée. Transats et table extérieure très appréciés. Salle de bain en effet très petite mais convient tout de même pour une semaine. Chambre immense avec un très grand lit et une literie d'excellente qualité. Un logement parfait pour un couple en recherche de tranquillité. Beaucoup de sites aux environs. Le village de Rouffignac est petit mais dispose de tout ce qu'il faut : marché le dimanche matin, boulangerie et un Carrefour contact ouvert de 8h à 20h. Je recommande !
Nous sommes ravis de notre séjour. Belle région, calme du gîte, accueil chaleureux et sympathique.

Pleasant for a short stay
The gite has a lovely outlook over the valley to the chateau. We stayed for four days in winter and were told after booking that there was an extra 7 euros per day for heating. This should have been mentioned in the information prior to confirmation. Our welcome was businesslike without being warm and inviting. The gite itself was quite pleasant with a very basic kitchen, tiny bathroom, huge bedroom with a tiny TV. Supplies for the kitchen and bathroom were minimal which meant we had to purchase our own and leave it behind as we are travelling. On the plus side, the nightly rate was very affordable.

Merci pour votres avis. C'est agréable de savoir que vous avez apprécié vos vacances. J'ai vérifié les couteaux et les fourchettes pour s'assurer qu'il ya un ensemble complet. Et il y avait une petite modification à faire pour le porte boissons dans le réfrigérateur, il fonctionne correctement maintenant. Merci encore. Tres cordialement. Karen et Steve
Thank you for writing about your stay. Its lovely to know you enjoyed your holiday. I checked the knives and forks to make sure there is a full set. And there was a small modification to make to the drinks holder in the fridge, so that is working correctly now. Thanks again. Kindest regards K&S
About the host
Hosted by Karen
Over the years lots of people have asked why we decided to move to France. The only answer we have ever really been able to come up with is that ‘we fancied a bit of a change’. And that’s really all there was to it. At the time we had very little understanding of the country or its people, naively thinking, ‘How different can it be ? It’s only across the channel’. Stupid right ?
But that was such a long time ago. Here we are now, 20 years later, living in a part of the world that really is truly amazing. The scenery, even after all this time, can still take your breath away. We enjoy some of the best food and wine in the world. We have the space to grow our own vegetables, rear our own animals and have settled into country life in a way that we never could have imagined.
But most of all it’s the quiet that really makes a difference. Whether it’s a warm summer’s morning or a crisp winter’s day, it will always be peaceful and very very quiet. But don’t just take our word for it, come and see for yourself….
Why they chose this property
What makes this property really special are the views and use of your own private pool. Sitting on the terrace with a glass of wine on a summers evening, watching the spectacular sunsets over the valley and the chateau, will give you holiday memories to take away and cherish forever.
