magnificient 16th century MANOR HOUSE with POOL and JACUZZI

The property we stayed in was a beautiful house with a fantastic view. However the location marker on your website had the property located in Cenac, close to amenities and restaurants which we wanted in walking distance. when infact it was in St-Julien. Not walking distance. We contacted the owners to see if they were aware of this, and they told us that it was down to yourselves. They have obviously been in touch with you as we can see the marker has been moved to the correct place. We also had no jacuzzi all week. When the girls went to use it on the Sunday the temp was below30, we contacted the owner and they sent someone out to look at it, which they did, and through that evening the temp was slowly going up. However when we got back on the following day

looking forward to a jacuzzi the temp had gone down again. We contacted the owner again and after a conversation with them they told us an engineer would be sent out. But nobody came out so we had no jacuzzi all week.

We chose the property on location and the added bonus of the jacuzzi. But we ended up with neither.

My husband, adult son and his girlfriend spent a glorious week in Perigord Noir. The manor house was large plenty of privacy and exceptionally quiet. Lovely kitchen, dining area, nice bedrooms and baths. There is nothing like the birdsong of rural France. Centrally located for the magnificent sites of Dordogne and Vezere valleys. I’d return in a heartbeat.

If I had never left the house and surrounding countryside the experience of the Dordogne, for myself and my family, would have been complete. For a week we shopped in the local markets and ate all of our meals but one around the wonderful kitchen table or in the garden, built a fire in the beautiful fireplace and played board games, we walked to nearby villages through fields of wildflowers and orchards of walnuts, explored along the river, visited castles and caves, canoed along the Dordogne. It was amazing for all of us (4 adults, a 10 year old and a 7 year old). I wish it was mine and I could have stayed there.

We stayed (4/5 people) at Clos St Julien for two weeks and would stay again---that's the ultimate test. The house is located in a small hamlet about 2 miles from Cenac, so it has a wonderful rural setting, quiet, with very nice walking opportunities to the Dordogne river nearby and across walnut groves. Well-furnished, comfortable, and more like a friend's house than a vacation rental. Gabriele (Owner) is very responsive and professional.

This was out second stay at the Manor house and we had another great two weeks. The house is around 16th century with lovely high ceilings and each room has great character.

It has a stunning open spiral staircase up into the lounge and bedrooms which might be difficult for small children and the upper bedrooms had restricted headroom due to the loft but they were beautiful rooms full of character and the en-suite facilities were also modern and efficient.

The pool and Jacuzzi are beautifully kept and the pool and sunbathing area also has sufficient shade for when the sun was too much!

The house had very efficient and quiet air conditioning for all the rooms but the walls were so think anyway the house generally was quite cool. Good quality kitchen and TV equipment plus effective WiFi.

The house and garden was beautifully clean on arrival.

We also liked Cenac et St Julien because it was a good location for exploring the area - like Rocamdour, the markets at Sarlat, the cave paintings at Lascaux, Canoeing (a big canoe rental firm is in Cenac) or you could easily drive to the pretty Castle and village at Beynac, the beautiful gardens at Marqueyssac or Chateau Castelnaud all within 20 or 30 minutes of easy driving.( Rocamadour a bit farther)

The garden and pool are was quite and not overlooked and allowed lovely views of the valley and the soaring Black Kites flying in groups overhead with their piercing calls.
