Perfectly Situated for your Dordogne Holiday
Perfectly charming French farmhouse vibe. The owners are kind and thoughtful. When we mentioned a desire for morning coffee, they went out and bought a new coffeemaker for our use. Comfortable beds in the home, which is well equipped with linens and other items to make your stay a pleasant one. Convenient to a grocery store which has everything one might need. We enjoyed our stay!

A property oozing with character and charm .
Wonderful hosts. Property only 2km from the centre-ville of Duras with proximity to many historical villages, bastides and castles of this beautiful region of France. Very spacious with tasteful furniture and excellently appointed. Charming patio in a large private garden.

Duras, par excellence
The hosts were as congenial as ever. We have stayed here before and will do so again. The gite is well-appinted, in lovely grounds. Great base for visiting the Dordogne......Duras is a lovely bastide town. Difficult to do anything but praise glowingly.

Very pleasant stay in an old French house.
Comfortable bed and nice towels. The accomodation is the old barn attached to the house and has high ceilings and large rooms. Lovely garden and outside space in which to relax.
