We had a wonderful time staying at this beautiful house. Sometimes, holidays do not look as good in real life as online, however this place is amazing. The house, the adjoining villas and the outdoor areas are absolutely fantastic! As a large group of 15 adults and 5 small children, all of our needs were met.
Communication with Susan about checking in and out was great, she was very responsive and made the logistics very straightforward.
The facilities included are excellent. There's indoor and outdoor cooking equipment, so lots of options. We made extensive use of the outdoor dining options and spaces, especially the large group table outside which can comfortably seat 25, overlooking the rolling Dordogne countryside - this was a particular highlight.
Regarding the pool, aside from the occasional bit of wildlife in the pool, everything was great! The pool is a great size for swimming, relaxing and even big games of water polo :)
The location is very peaceful and tranquil, with the small town of Lalinde a 5 minute drive (or 40 minute walk) away, if you want a change of scenery.
There are some very small details that weren't so great, such as the bedrooms getting very warm on hot days, making for some uncomfortable nights. We also had some issues with ants, but I guess it's the price for a rural location.
Overall, we had a great time. Thank you!
