Holiday rentals near Château de Lacypierre

Lovely property, thoughtfully maintained.

We stayed in this lovely apartment for a month and were so sad to leave! It was perfectly positioned, roomy and comfortable. All rooms were large. It would easily accomodate 4 prople. Clean and bright with a lovely courtyard. Well fitted out. Multiple channels available on the TV. Joel was a wonderful host. Parking was great. It's close to everything you need with a boulangerie a couple of doors down, multiple ice cream shops, and a 3 star Michelin restaurant. The village and local area were divine, with lots to do, see and experience. We want to come back and bring friends!

Amazing property. Views were out of this world. Hosts were friendly. Perfect place to stay.

Charming cottage in an absolutely geat location. We loved it.

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.

When we first read all of the reviews on Butterfly Cottage before booking, we thought that they really sounded a little bit "too good to be true". But we have to say they are all completely an accurate description of the property and its wonderful hosts. There really are no negatives! Linda and George, the cottage hosts, are the most helpful and genuine people you will ever meet. From the moment we booked, Linda was in touch with very useful information to help make the trip perfect. She provided suggestions of what to see and do in the area, helpful hints and excellent directions to the cottage from where we were coming from. The Dordogne area is absolutely beautiful! There are so many wonderful places to visit and many were only 15 to 20 minutes away by car. Would recommend canoeing on the river. One of our favourites. The cottage itself is stunning. The pictures on the website are great but it is even better in person. There is absolutely everything that you need in the cottage and lots of personal touches by the hosts that make it special. It makes a very comfortable stay. We had chef Dimitri come to the cottage to cook for us one night. He was amazing and it was truly some of the best french food we had tasted. There is also a larger cottage on the property but both cottages have their own private courtyard and areas and it really feels like you have it all to yourself. Butterfly Cottage is now a very special and memorable place to us, as it was on the grounds of the property (in the jacuzzi overlooking a pretty field) that we got engaged. A first at Les Hirondelles apparently! Thank you Linda and George for the lovely card and bottle of champagne for us to celebrate with. We would highly recommend a stay here! Peter & Katey

One of three cottages on the property it provided us with all we needed and offered wonderful views from the terrace overlooking the wooded countryside. We were only 10 minutes from Sarlat but had all the peace and quiet that the French countryside can offer. Alexandra our host was very helpful and friendly during our say. Highly recommended.
