Lavaur Hotels

"Spotless room, nice "

"The house is situated on the Dordogne River. All amenities are available, including a cozy wood-burning stove. The owner is very kind and hospitable."

"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."

"Wonderful location and property. Beautiful pool and decking area overlooking Dordogne countryside with hot air balloons most mornings and evenings. Beatrice and Remy gave us a very warm welcome and showed us around the house when we arrived - they live just up the road so are available in case of any issues during the stay. Some lovely villages and towns within easy driving distance and Roque Gageac is a 45 min walk through the forest. Would highly recommend. "

"Lovely house and garden. Great location. "

"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. "

"A lovely family run hotel with attention to detail and great service. Great location, with a super pool (great for kids). Beautiful views across the hillsides. Breakfast was delicious and very fresh. Friday night BBQ and live music was a lovely experience. We visited a local Thai restaurant on Friday evening, as recommended by the hotel - they weren’t wrong. It was really tasty and the service excellent. All in all would highly recommend and would love to return to Hotel L’Abbaye!"

"Truly beautiful setting, wonderfully elegant. Dining on the terrace with hot air balloons floating on the horizon- so picturesque. Wonderful place. Indoor and outdoor pools provide excellent relaxation. Many good restaurants nearby, but we were happy breakfasting and dining at the chateau. "
