Sorry we don’t take pets as we have just got a new puppy (Jan 2023). Lula is a Dutch shepherd.

We have had two large dogs over the last 19 years, so lots of experience, we lost our previous dog, Nelly (Dutch Shepherd cross) in November 2021. We were unsure whether we’d get another, but couldn’t resist.

Our part of the property faces the opposite direction to the gîte. We have a separate entrance and have now fully fenced part of the garden so that she won’t both you. She’ll be a bundle of life when you arrive.

Amazing

We have just come back from an amazing 2 week stay. Alison and Alex were the perfect hosts. They gave us a very warm welcome, showing us around the Gite, explaining where everything was and how things worked. The Gite contained everything you could possibly want for a comfortable stay. The pool and hot tub were amazing, I think our son was in the pool everyday. It was so lovely in the evenings sat in the garden, having a barbecue and a glass of wine, we are definitely going to miss that now we are home! For us as a family it was the perfect stay and we will definitely be returning.

A hugely enjoyable week in Le Mongeat

The accommodation was great and has been renovated to a high standard - it had everything we needed for our stay and more. It was the perfect place to chill and come back to after days out - we had many a relaxing evening cooking and playing board games with the girls. A great patio and gardens with a fantastic view. The covered heated pool was fantastic, as was the hot tub. Even on the cooler days and evenings we were able to enjoy a good swim! The location offers easy access to a wide range of places and activities - from canoeing on the Dordogne, to the caves, Lascaux and countless beautiful villages such as Domme and Lemeuil. Alison and Alex were very welcoming, and we hope to be able to return at some point in the next few years. We've had many holidays in France, and this was by far our favourite Gite.

Great stay

The house was very nice, clean and comfortable. Alison and Alex (and Lula the dog) were very friendly, helpful and discreet. The pool is lovely, especially as you can leave it covered in the hot sun. The jacuzzi is wonderful, especially in the evening when it is dark. And the kitchen is extremely well equipped with all kinds of kitchen utensils .. Thanks for the nice stay Alison and Alex. Voor de Nederlanders, ga op zoek naar twee Nederlandse romans die ik heb achter gelaten. ;-)

Perfect stay

Le Mongeat is ideally situated within easy reach of the main towns in the Dordogne region, just far enough from the hustle and bustle. The gite itself is charming, well maintained and surrounded by beautiful gardens . The kitchen is especially well equipped for a holiday let. The pool was also great given the exceptional weather we had, and we enjoyed watching the sunsets in this very peaceful setting. Last, but not least, Alison and Alex were the perfect hosts, so discreet you would hardly know that they live next door. Overall, would highly recommend.

Our stay in Le Mongeat Cendrieux

We had a wonderful 2 week stay. The property had everything we needed and was situated in a fantastic place. Just a short walk from the village, which had a convenient mini market and restaurant. Our hosts, Alison and Alec couldn’t have been more helpful. From recommendations of where to eat to collecting us from the village when we got caught in a rain shower! We were even invited to join them at their local area annual shindig, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you both for a wonderful stay, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you

About the host

Hosted by Alex & Alison Wright

We have been known as “Giteswithapool” plural as over the years we have run a number of properties over the last 18+ years. At one stage 6 gites accmmodating up to 38 guests.
We have been gradually been reducing the number of properties so that now we only have 1 Gite which is adjacent to our home.

We've been married for 30 years (how time flies when you're having fun). We moved to the area in 2003, after redundancy, in search of an "adventure" and to escape the City rat race. We've never looked back. We live here permanently, absolutely love the life and the area. So much so, that all our family now live in France within 25 minutes of us. None of us would even contemplate going back to the UK, it's great to visit, but for us, this is home. We went from being bankers to builders, creating the gites, to running our own business and love every day.

We also love our free time during the winter, to go on holiday, whether it's cruising or diving or both. Or the odd building project for the family. Life is never dull and there's never enough time.

We don’t take pets as we have just got a new puppy (Jan 2023). Lula is a Dutch shepherd.

We have had two large dogs over the last 19 years, so lots of experience, we lost our previous dog, Nelly (Dutch Shepherd cross) in November 2021. We were unsure whether we’d get another, but couldn’t resist.

Our part of the property faces the opposite direction to the gîte. We have a separate entrance and have now fully fenced part of the garden so that she won’t both you. She’ll be a bundle of life when you arrive.

Why they chose this property

Why we chose this location

It is a beautiful location set in stunning rolling countryside. It's incredibly peaceful, yet just minutes away from all the most popular tourist attractions. It's also within easy reach of the major towns - the regional capital Perigueux, Sarlat and Bergerac, very handy for the airport. Cendrieux is a working village, with lots happening throughout the year. We even have night markets in summer.

We wanted a challenge to renovate a property and that's what we got when we started work on our first property at Le Mongeat where we live.

It was a steep learning curve, but great fun and now we really enjoy seeing the pleasure on every one's face as they walk through the gate. An estate agent rang to see if we're interested in selling - I said "nobody could offer us enough money, we feel like we've won the lottery" especially after the hot tub arrived.

What makes this property unique

What’s unique about the place ..

Peace, tranquility, yet amazing facilities. Fully equipped kitchens (we challenge you to find anything we have forgotten), heated and covered pool, hot tub/jacuzzi, plenty of bathrooms and very comfortable beds!

We provide a very personal service, if you want it. Recommending restaurants (and booking them), places to visit - how to make the most of your stay.

Many of our guests are repeat visitors, some of whom booked 12 months ahead, before they've even left. That says a massive amount about the holiday we offer.

We promise you won't be disappointed.
