Castelnaud-de-Gratecambe Hotels

"Perfect"

"Fantastic property. Ideal for our 13-person family group. Claire and Kieran were very attentive and helpful throughout. Pool was great. Location amazing."

"We had a fantastic week in Adam’s converted barn in Montcabrier. The property has been adapted to a very high spec, is spacious and well appointed. The terrace affords great views over the surrounding countryside and of the pool in the garden below. Montcabrier itself is a lovely bastide village with a church, medieval fortifications and, crucially, a boulangerie! We spent our week sightseeing (Chateau de Bonaguil a highlight), hiking (there are several great walks clearly marked starting from the village square), visiting vineyards (Ch. du Cedre is quality) and browsing markets (Prayssac on a Friday was the best).We mostly cooked for ourselves with the produce garnered from the local markets, but did treat ourselves to what proved to be a fantastic meal at Le Loup Blanc in St. Martin Le Redon (only 5 minutes away by car).All in all a lovely relaxing week in beautiful surroundings."

"We enjoyed our stay at the Paulhiac house very much. There were 11 of us - 2 grandparents, 4 parents, and 5 grandchildren from 8 to 19, and the property suited us extremely well. The owners live next door, and we found them friendly and helpful. Patrice looked after the pool in an unobtrusive way. In the hot weather the pool was essential . There is lots of space - fields and woods - around the house and garden, completely private.Within easy reach by car are several beautiful bastide towns or large villages, with excellent markets and interesting shops. We did not know about these and they were a fine discovery for us.It might be pointed out that the property is three separate buildings, but close together, sharing pool, terrace, kitchen etc. We have very few small niggles. The directions to the house were rather vague - a map would have helped. The kitchen equipment was good but for the lack of a sharp kitchen knife - a common problem we have found from past holiday houses. . In one bedroom (off the games room) there should be better curtain fittings. My daughter points out that there was no provision of washing up liquid, cloth/sponge of any kind, soap for washing hands, or dishwasher tabs. This made arrival on a weekend rather difficult (shops close at 1 on Sundays) and seems unnecessarily stingy. If I hadn't brought washing up liquid with us, we would have been totally stuck till Monday. But she says this is a small thing.We were very satisfied."

"Nice house in a lovely location. Great internet and small but perfectly adequate pool. Well equipped kitchen except the fridge would be very small for 8, we felt it just coped with 3. The owner was very helpful and quick to respond. Main downside was the mattress in the double bedroom nearest to the kitchen was hopelessly soft and we could not both sleep in it lApart from that, great stay. "

"We loved our stay at this property. The hosts were so friendly and welcoming. They provided us with a delicious dinner on out first night and waking up to breakfast each morning was such a treat. Everything is home made and fresh! I also had a lovely massage which I would highly recommend. The pool area is relaxing and picturesque, while our gite had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We hope we can come backa again soon, "

"So lovely! Friendly staff and nice rooms. Nice pool too. Steps from the center of town. Our favorite town On our trip. "

"Beautiful hotel all in art deco style. The owner has really excelled in finding quirky appropriate pieces which reflect the period and he goes out of his way to make your stay very comfortable! We had a smaller room for our one night stay but it was adequate with a comfortable bed and clean, well equipped bathroom. The gardens are so pretty with lots of ornaments and shady sitting areas. The swimming pool was very welcome after a long drive in very hot weather! We had drinks from the bar and sat on the terrace as we also did for the delicious breakfast. This hotel is perfect in every way and we hope to stop there again. Next time I would like to stay in the much larger room with private terrace."

"The cottage is located in a quiet rural location a short drive away from monpazier. It is very well equipped and has a lovely private pool and I would recommend this cottage if you want a ‘get away from it all’"
