Hi, this is a photo of myself Xanthe and my husband Hamish at my cousins wedding a couple of years ago.
We moved to France nearly 12 years ago and have lived & worked in the hospitality industry in the Sarlat area since then. We ran our own small hotel and restaurant in Beynac for 6 years and are proud to tell you that we were listed in many International guide books, including Rick Steves, Alistair Sawdays and the Guide du Routard. We sold this business in the summer of 2006, and after listening to the needs of our restaurant and hotel guests we started our holiday rental home business. We now have 3 wonderful vacation rental houses in prime locations in central Sarlat & Beynac which are available to rent all year round. As we live locally, we are your first point of contact if you need help with anything, you will be able to draw on our vast local knowledge, which has been acquired over many years, to make the most of your stay in this wonderful area. You will find that each of our houses can offer you the very best in location, amenities & comfort, whether you are over looking the Dordogne river & 4 Chateaux or strolling through the Medieval streets of Sarlat.
Be assured that we are responsive to our guests needs; many of whom come back year after year & have become firm friends, they are more than happy to recommend us to their family & friends. We will offer you the best service that we possibly can to ensure that your holiday is a memorable one for all the right reasons!!

Hello Xanthe/Hamish Thank you both again for providing the perfect base for our holiday in Sarlat. The weather was great and allowed us to visit and see all the good local towns and villages at their best. Our canoeing experience was better for being slightly out of season and therefore the river was quiet. We all appreciated the villa arrangements and your helpful responses to all our queries and needs. Delighted to recommend yourselves and the house. Kind regards Sue, family & friends.

Just returned from our stay in Sarlat. The home was a pleasure to stay in and communication with the owners perfect. We stayed when the weather was quite cold so make sure to bring warm clothing for any winter visits. There are some terrific restaurants in Sarlat and the town centre is a nice stroll away. We found the local people to be friendly and helpfull. I would definitely return for a stay in this home. Would be wonderful in the summer. We used the home as a base to explore the surrounding areas and were delighted at the wonderful sights nearby. Thank you so much Xanthe and Hamish!!

Recently back from a trip to France. My wife and I and another couple rented this house for a week. We found it to be charming, clean, quiet, comfortable. It was within easy walking distance to the town, but also very quiet. The property comes with everything you might need to prepare and enjoy food there and is also very close to some excellent restaurants. The owners were extremely helpful and determined to help us enjoy our visit, but were not at all intrusive. We found the experience to be absolutely delightful and would highly recommend this property to anyone. Don't miss the caves at Font du Gaume and the museum of prehisoric life at Les Isyses.

Sarlat is good for a family holiday and this house is a great base from which to explore the area. Sarlat is very busy and I recommend you stay IN the town rather than just outside - as you can never park, at least in July and August. The house is furnished to a very high standard, just about everything else you can imagine you might need was provided. The decor is faultless, the bedlinen fresh and all white, tonnes of towels for both the pool and the bathrooms. The pool is small but attractively landscaped with lots of comfy loungers all around. As the owners recommended some local restaurants we ate extremely well and all within a short stroll of the house. There is a lively market in Sarlat, lots of buskers and buzz to keep the kids happy til late at night, good restaurants. Not far away, by car, there is the river to swim in and good cycle paths and we also found a lake with a 'beach' and floating diving boards. A happy stay, thank you.
Owner response:It is really nice to hear from our guests and I am so pleased that you enjoyed your stay in Sarlat. Thank you so much for your kind comments. Best wishes to you all, Xanthe & Hamish Eadie.
