A beautiful and unique place to stay in a stunning part of France. We spent a week with our dog, and wished we'd been able to stay for longer. Annie and Jean- Paul were helpful and responsive both before and during our stay, even inviting us for an aperitif on one of the evenings. A wonderful place that we would highly recommend.
Perfect location, everything we needed at the property for our stay, due to fantastic weather the pool was well used as was the bbq! Annie are Simon were welcoming hosts. The pretty town of Le Bugue was only 20 mins away, plenty of supermarkets. So much to see and do without driving for miles, we had a perfect relaxing week, even the dog was chilled đ xx
We stayed for 2 glorious weeks in the fabulous Borie de la Cause. We wish we could have stayed longer.The peace and tranquility of the location, but within a few minute drive of a delightful small town, is perfect. Surrounded by nature with birds & butterflies, deer & hares to enjoy. We wondered at the brilliance of the stars in the dark sky.It is situated close to many prehistoric sites with many beautiful gardens to visit.The cabine has been lovingly hand built by Jean-Paul and Annie with so many artisanal features to discover, all incorporated in such a comfortable little house, with everthing you need. The private pool was exceptional, always clean and welcoming in the afternoon heat.Annie & Jean-Paul are wonderful and generous hosts, we hope we can return to enjoy the delights of this very special and charming place.
The house and surrounds are very picturesque! I would bear in mind the hot water tank is small, long hot shower are off the menu! All in all we had a lovely time, enjoyed the odd dip in the pool when the weather was at its best. I had to leave a light on at night so I could navigate the rustic spiral hand built staircase, but this was more of age thing for me now I get up to use the bathroom multiple times a night! The surrounding area is very prehistoric, there lots of ancient history, vineyards and local markets to explore! On Tuesday evenings after Le Bugue village market there a big food/music event, which we came across by accident! Definitely work a look!If you feel like a proper restaurant meal then the one by the river in neighbouring village of Limeuil, LAncre Du Salut was very reasonable and the food fantastic!
We arrived after a long drive to be greeted by the charming owner, Annie, who settled us in to the gĂźte.
The Bourie is the most enchanting home, built by Annieâs husband Jean Paul who is a Master Maconiere. The standard of workmanship is truly remarkable and provides a snug and homely accommodation, surrounded by a lovely garden and overlooking acres of woodland. If youâre in need of a âget away from it allâ holiday then this is perfect for you - in the evenings there was barely a sound to be heard.
The local town of Le Bugue has a number of friendly bars and plenty of shops providing regional food and drink and is a 10 minute drive away (we used our bikes most days) and there is plenty to do and see in the area.
The Bourie has a very basic kitchen so take a sharp knife and any other essential equipment you need - we barbecued most days (in the excellent one carved by Jean Paul!).
Access to the bedroom is via a steep spiral staircase which some may find a bit of a challenge if you have mobility issues so worth bearing in mind. The gĂźte is quirky and simply furnished and it felt like a step back in time, which was wonderful
The swimming pool is beautiful and spotlessly clean.
Annie and Jean Paul are the most charming and helpful hosts you could possibly want - they made us feel completely at home without ever intruding.
