Charming Apartment For 2, With Private Garden In Country Hamlet, Lovely Walks
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY Although attached to the main 14th century house, this charming apartment is completely independent with it's own entrance and garden, there are lockable gates providing secure parking. For those who like self-catering it's ideal, the kitchen area is well-equipped with a large fridge, gas cooker and microwave. The bedroom and sitting room are both painted in restful colours, and have antique furniture.
The log burner provides warmth for those cool summer evenings or cold winter days which make it lovely and cosy. There is a 25€ charge towards the heating in winter.
COVID If you are infectious, we would be grateful if you cancelled! If you have been exposed to COVID please warn us and wear a mask on arrival.
3RD PERSON CHARGES The sitting room has a sofa, which is actually an antique bed and it can also be used as a bed for a child or third adult; although this arrangement can make accommodation rather cramped, so it really is better for 2 people only. If 2 guests wish to sleep separately there is an extra charge of 20€ for the sheets for the single bed/sofa.
Please note: we charge 60€ per week extra for a third adult, (plus 20€ for bedlinen and towels) children are free up to 12 years old, plus 20€ for bedlinen and towels. The main house, where we also have 2 B & B rooms, is suitably situated so that apartment guests can remain private if they wish as the B&B guests have use of our own garden. Please, absolutely NO SMOKING INDOORS, there is a smoke alarm.
CLEANING AND BREAKAGES We don’t charge for cleaning, but we do expect guests to leave the property as they find it. Breakages happen but we don’t ask a deposit, the odd glass is OK. Other than that we trust our guests to be kind enough to replace what they’ve broken, or inform us and donate where that’s not possible.
PETS- DOGS ONLY We occasionally allow medium sized well-behaved dogs, but please ask first as it is to our discretion. If we accept it will be ONE dog only at a charge of €2,50 per night. With regret we do not allow cats or any other animal, caged or otherwise.
LATE ARRIVALS If guests for the apartment or the B&B arrive on a Sunday evening, we can provide a meal (vegetarian only) for 20€ per person plus wine. Equally, if guests require some basics shopping in case they arrive too late to shop, they can give us a list so we can buy things they need.

A lovely stay in this heavenly gite, small but perfectly formed, in the midst of startlingly beautiful countryside. Facilities were perfect, wonderful gardens to front and rear melding into the meadows.
Our hosts were helpful and discreet and everything very well maintained, I would recommend this to anyone, especially those wishing for a romantic break. Can't wait to go back!

Very relaxing stay in a lovely location
Very peaceful holiday. Our first time in rural France was an absolute delight. The apartment had everything that we needed and Liz and Graham were great hosts. To cap it all the weather was superb so we made great use of the terrace and garden to sit in and have breakfast, and also to sit out late at night with a glass of wine. The apartment is very well situated to get around the area, and Liz and Graham were terrific at giving recommendations for just the right places to visit. Merci!

best stay ever
We had a wonderful time here! In this house we only stayed for one week but when we left we said that we would have loved to stay for the whole summer. Perfect interior, lovely atmosphere, wonderful shady garden. Liz and Graham are very helpful and at the same time give you all the privacy you want. We also really appreciated the care they restored the whole house and garden with. Due to the enclosed garden it was also a perfect place to stay with a dog. We are sure we will come back soon. Thank you for being such good hosts!

Beautiful and very relaxing
This quiet centuries old apartment was the perfect retreat for visiting Bergerac and the surrounding area. This was our first visit to the Dordogne and we were very impressed. There are so many picturesque villages and impressive chateaus to see as well as beautiful gardens and historical sites. The apartment was fantastic and very 'French'. Liz and Graham are such lovely hosts and so very helpful, we were made to feel very welcome. It was everything we wanted it to be and more and would definitely recommend it. With any luck we will return one day.

The Most wonderful stay
I stayed at La Crabouille for two weeks and could have stayed forever! Liz and Graham are the nicest hosts imaginable and go out of their way to make your stay unforgettable with their friendliness and excellent knowledge of the area. They are always there for their guests without being intrusive. The accommodation is exactly as in the pictures, very homely, lovingly decorated in the typical Périgordienne style with many beautiful details. The bed was very comfortable, the large garden for own use, a fully equipped kitchen and waking up each morning to the birds and sun shining into the bedroom was pure bliss. … There are many walking trails, a swimming lake nearby and just a short drive to Bergerac with many restaurants. I can highly recommend La Crabouille and would come back to this beautiful part of the world any time!

Lovely stay in the beautiful Dordogne
Lovely little apartment adjoining owners main house. It is well equipped and very comfortable. Spotlessly clean and well looked after. Lizzie and Graham are so friendly and helpful, she even booked our dog into the local excellent vet for her worming treatment, needed for our return to the Uk.
We loved exploring the beautiful Dordogne and the accommodation is well placed to do this. It is in a beautiful small rural hamlet approx a mile from the nearest village, which means it is extremely peaceful, great for a restful break.
Unfortunately we were unable to sit out on the pretty terrace or explore the lovely walks surrounding the property due to the Tiger mosquitoes! They are vicious! Be prepared take plenty repellant and cream/medication, if all else fails the chemists are numerous and very helpful!
A good recommendation-There is a great restaurant nearby in Queyssac called Le Bistrot du Presbytere serving local delicious food at a reasonable price, make sure to reserve its popular.

Thanks for the lovely review! Pity about the mosquitoes which became a particular problem as the summer wore on here in the Dordogne this year, (and indeed most of France). Some are tiger, some the usual ones, I’m really sorry they affected you so badly. We have very effective nets on all the windows, so at least when you were inside you could have the the windows open!

The Perfect French Farmhouse Retreat?
You know that feeling when you walk into a property and you know its 'just right'? Well that's the feeling my partner Lynne & I had when we arrived.
Those initial feelings, sometimes become tarnished by the little things that aren't quite right. We found none of them, the accommodation was clean, light, cozy, really well equipped and immaculately dressed and decorated. This is truly wonderful self catering accommodation that provides a perfect base to explore the Bergerac area and further afield.
The Sunday Market at Isseygeac, about 25-30 mins away is a must do (if you are here on a Sunday) as is a trip to the Chateau at Monbazillac. We did a trip down the Dordogne to Sarlat-la-Caneda and visited the sink hole at Proumeyssac and the gardens at Marqueyssac. The area is quite simply beautiful.
So you've got beautifully appointed accommodation, in a glorious part of France, what about the hosts? One word probably sums Graham & Liz up 'lovely' although there are many more descriptive verbs that I could list. Just trust me they will make you feel welcome and ensure you have an amazing stay.
So there you have it ... nearly! Poor weather (El Nino year) brought our stay to an earlier stop than we would have hoped. We had no plans where we were going next, sort of 'see when we get there'. Graham recommended Amboise & Blois, about 5 hours North in the Pays de Loire, specifically Clos Luce, the last home of Leonardo Da Vinci. Top recommendations! Clos Luce is one of the most inspiring places I have ever visited.
I have 3 regrets: (1) that its taken me nearly four months to finally write this review and let Graham & Liz know just how 'knocked-out' Lynne & I were by our visit to their little bit of heaven on earth; (2) that our stay was too short and, (3) that we aren't there now!
In concluding this review, the answer to the question posed in the title is Lynne & I think so.
To Graham & Liz, heartfelt thanks for allowing us to fleetingly share the magic space.

Sobre o anfitrião
Anfitrião: Graham and Liz Sangster
Graham and Liz have been living in the Dordogne for 35 years and therefore speak fluent French. They are now retired from working in the restoration and decoration of châteaux and private houses where as an artist Liz painted frescoes and trompe l’oeil. Liz continues to paint oils and water colours which she exhibits locally and in the uk, she's also published a book of her silly poems and illustrations. Graham is passionate about Citroen cars and uses our 2CV daily. The property is an old fortified farm built by the English during the 100 years war, set in 5 acres of land, in a small hamlet in their village commune, a kilometre away.
Por que o anfitrião escolheu essa propriedade
We love the French countryside here, and Graham, being particularly keen on cycling, enjoys the off-road opportunities, through the forests and fields. We both enjoy walking our dog too, and there are many 'chemins randonées' to choose from where you can walk for hours without seeing a soul. As an artist the area is ideal for Liz , with so many views to draw and paint , the unique Perigordian architecture setting it apart from the rest of France.
O que faz essa propriedade ser única?
The house is 10 mins from Bergerac, and 4km from 3 villages with commerce, therefore handy to pop out for supplies. Bergerac Airport: flights go to many parts of the UK , so it's extremely handy for visiting our family and friends. The region is so varied that we can drive in any direction and the landscape changes from forest to vineyards, from rolling hills to orchards, then from river to gorge, even within 10 mins of leaving our home. There are numerous châteaux to visit either for wine-tasting or for their historic interest: Josephine Baker's château with it's art deco rooms, makes a fascinating visit because of its history of being the home she created for her 12 adopted "rainbow" children. ...Château Biron with beautifully restored rooms, also houses 2 galleries for art exhibitions. Biron has spectacular views from the rocky outcrop on which it is built .... Castelnaud, again with beautiful views, has interesting replicas of mediaeval war machines. Weather-permitting, here the clear starlit skies at night are free from light pollution, and therefore good for stargazing, especially in August when the Perseids meteor shower is at it's peak.
