we had been waiting two years due to covid restrictions to celebrate my wife's 80th and so th expectations were high.
There were ten of us there couples and four young adults so the ability to have a bedroom AND en=suite each was a major bonus.
The property is a rambling farm house in shaded surroundings with everything you would need for a relaxing holiday.
We had set standards in choosing the Cheval Blanc - plenty of shade, good inside space, quality kitchen and a swimming pool all of which we found and the fact that every bedroom had a substantial fan meant we were kept as cool as possibly in 35 degree plus heat.
The area is very country and has good walks but the big name places such as Sarlat are over an hour away which in the heat was not an option we did however discover Aubeterre, a neat little village with a fantastic underground church, Perigueux,,Brantome and Bourdeilles all great towns to visit.
Bill and Jill are charming and very helpful and excellent hosts.
Would highly recommend.
