Gignac-Cressensac Station holiday rentals

We had a lovely restful week in La Poujades, Reilhaguet. The house was a great size for our extended family. The village Payrac was 10 mins away with a good restaurant and grocery store. Gourdon a bit further with more choice and a great Patisserie. Robert was so helpful with booking a restaurant and finally kindly offering to take our son and his family to the station in Gourdon on departure. Thank you for a great stay!

Nice owners, nice restaurant.

A lovely apartment in the heart of this gorgeous medieval town, tastefully furnished and with a modern bathroom and well-equipped kitchen. It was exactly the same as the photos and descriptions. You really feel you are part of the community here. It was a very special feeling on market days (Wednesday and Saturday) to be able to step out into the street and have the market stalls at your feet; to buy one’s provisions and then to come back to the apartment to offload one’s purchases! The market stalls stretched up the street and into Place de la Liberte and although they set up at about 7am we never heard a thing as the double glazing in the apartment shut out the noise. It was a perfect base to explore the beautiful town of Sarlat-la-Caneda as well as the many gorgeous towns and villages that surround it. The parking worked very well and was only a 10 minute walk away. There is a flight of stairs which is a little steep and curving but there is a handrail and my husband, who had been previously concerned about this, due to his instability, had no difficulty in using them. Allison was so willing to help in whatever way she could, be it providing additional linen, collecting us from the station and dropping us off again, or sorting out a problem we encountered with filling our car with petrol (our travel money card didn’t work as it wasn’t ‘Chip & PIN’) Nothing was too much trouble. We ate in the restaurant twice and were treated so well. Marc is a very talented chef. The food was a gastronomic delight, beautifully presented, and the restaurant itself has a very welcoming feel to it. All the staff were very pleasant. Allison and Marc are both delightful hosts. We would not hesitate to recommend Les Jardins d’Harmonie, for both the apartment and the restaurant.

We had a lovely stay at Gite Marianne, La Bachellerie. The house was very well equipped for all our needs and the owner Aurelien was very kind. We enjoyed visiting nearby towns including Terrason, Montignac, and Sarlat. Terrason was our favourite particularly the Jardin L'Imaginaire - wonderful. We also enjoyed a great lunch at La Mule Blanche just a short walk down the road. Our only caution is that the very steep stair case is probably not suitable for families with young children. Thank you Aurelien for a super duper holiday.
