We had two wonderful weeks in this beautiful property situated in a stunning part of the Dordogne and within easy reach of so many places to visit.The accommodation is perfect for a family and the allure of the pool area with its own cooking and eating facilities worked fantastically for us. Alec and Annie were wonderful and unobtrusive hosts who offered support and advice whenever needed.

Home from home, but much better!

We had a wonderful stay here. The Villa had everything we could need and the pool area was a popular hangout for BBQ, late night swimming and star gazing with the kids. Alec et Annie couldn’t have been more welcoming, it felt like we were visiting family. They gave brilliant advice and information. We were able to balance exploring the area and further afield to appreciate the beauty of the Dordogne, canoeing lots, and relaxing at the villa on other days. Would definitely recommend and visit again. Thank you

Truly special holiday

We had a fantastic week here with the whole family including a 2 year old and a 5 month old. Alec and Annie were extremely welcoming and accommodating to our requests which we are so grateful for. The pool was an absolute joy for everyone and all the little details had been thought of so we could fully relax with the kids. On top of the fantastic house, the location is superb - we had no where near enough time to see everything in the region so we will have to come back! Bergerac is beautiful, the many caves are amazing, the village is lovely and the nearby campsite has a little play park which the kids loved. A special holiday that we will not forget. Thank you Alec and Annie

Nous avons séjourné à la Pérode chez Alec et Annie à 9 adultes du 1 au 8 août 2026. Nous avons énormément profité de l'espace piscine, cuisine d'été et barbecue où nous avons pris tous nos repas. Il y a deux jolies chambres, 1 chambre moyenne et 2 petites chambres. L'espace salon cuisine est exigu pour 9 personnes. L'endroit est extrêmement calme, aucun bruit. Repos assuré au bord de la piscine ! Alec et Annie sont très accueillants et très accessibles. Nous les remercions pour leur gentillesse. La région est magnifique et les activités sont nombreuses dans un rayon de 1h.

Tolle Lage, gute Ausstattung

Wir waren zu Acht, vier Erwachsene, vier Kinder zwischen 12-14 Jahre. Highlight war natürlich der Pool, die Tischtennisplatte sowie für uns Erwachsene die überdachte Sitz- und Grillecke mit einem immer toll gefüllten Kühlschrank. Die Küche im Haus mit Sitzgelegenheiten ist für acht Personen etwas eng. Aber wenn das Wetter top ist, verbringt man die meiste Zeit eh am Pool oder im Garten, der im Übrigen auch einen schönen Zugang zum Waldweg hat. Die Schlafzimmer und Badezimmer waren im guten Zustand. Das einzige was etwas irritierte war die Spülmaschine, bei der man nie genau wusste wann sie mit dem Spülgang fertig war. Alec und Annie sind hervorragende Gastgeber, die ihr privates Domizil im Nebenhaus haben. Sie lassen einen komplett in Ruhe und nur bei Fragen sind sie mit ihrer britischen Höflichkeit äußerst zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit.

Great family holiday and excellent pool facility

We had a great holiday at La Perode. Alec and Annie were attentive hosts but not "in your face". The pool area is wonderful - a really good sized pool, super safe fencing and child proof gate, and everything you need in one place so you don't need to leave for snack and toilet runs.

Lovely property, lovely area, and great hosts

La Perode is lovely, with plenty of room to have your own space as couples if you want to, and all the facilities you need for hot days up at the pool. There's easy access to everyday shops, and more than enough to see and do within an hour's drive. Alec and Annie are gracious and helpful yet unobtrusive hosts, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend a stay.

Beautiful property in peaceful surroundings with fantastic pool area.

We were a family of 8 adults and a dog. The owners (who live next door) were very welcoming and on arrival gave us a quick tour of the house and pool area. We immediately felt at home in the beautiful house and peaceful surroundings. During our stay we made plenty of use of the fantastic pool area with pool, sun loungers, and shady dining area with a huge gas BBQ, fridge and all the dining utensils you need. There is also table tennis which kept us amused at times. Everything for the house and pool area has been thought of and all of the fixtures, fittings and equipment are high quality. The owners are very discreet but also on hand for a friendly chat or to give help and advice. The property is ideally located to explore the surrounding area and everything that the Dordogne has to offer. Within walking distance there is a lovely little restaurant called l'Olive Bleue; we ate there a couple of times and the food was really good. It was a brilliant two weeks and we thought the house and pool were great value for money and better equipped compared to similar properties we have stayed in. Loved everything about this holiday and would definitely recommend to others.

Great place for a family to stay at in the Dordogn

A great time was had by us, our Son and Daughter in law and three Grandchildren during our stay at La Perode. The Area is outstanding with so many lovely Villages and Towns to visit and the facilities provided at La Perode met everything we were looking for. I would have no hesitation in recommending La Perode to others.

A great spot for a family holiday, with helpfull owners.

The property was well prepared for our arrival and the owners very welcoming. We were a family of 6 adults and 4 children and a dog. Everyone immediately enjoyed themselves and the pool area is great. The setting is very peaceful. There is a campsite about 5 minutes walk away with a bar and a good restaurant. There is also tennis there, but it was too hot for us to play. The pool was the better option. Roufficnac, the nearby town is lovely and there is a really good restaurant in the hotel la renaissance, when it is open. We walked there in about 15 mins. The location is central and we did not need to travel more than 40 mins anywhere when we wanted to explore.

Nous avons passé un formidable séjour dans cette maison (6 adultes et 4 enfants). Avec sa cuisine d'été nous passions notre temps au bord de la piscine. La location est propre et les propriétaires sont disponibles et toujours prêts à rendre service et de bons conseils pour les sorties, les produits locaux... Avec son très grand terrain cette location est idéale pour des vacances au calme et reposantes (aucun voisin, pas de vis a vis, aucun bruit). Elle est située non loin de quelques sites touristiques (Sarlat, les grottes des Rouffignac. ...). En conclusion nous ne pouvons que vous conseillez de louer cette maison de vacances !

Excellent House that ticks all the boxes

We were lucky enough to spend the whole month of September at this property. The property was full of character but with excellent modern facilities. The three main bedrooms were very large with good showers, nice furniture, balconies and great views. There is also a good sized TV with UK channels - not that we watched it very much. The star of the show was the outdoor area which has everything you need - fridge, weber BBQ, changing room, large shower, table tennis table, kettle for making a cuppa - heaps of plastic crockery and we had lots of memorable lunches and evening BBQ's out here. The pool is an excellent size and well-maintained by Alec. It is also close to the house. Rouffignac had everything you need - excellent Boulangerie called Blondys - we recommend everything from the bread and cakes to their homemade quiche - friendly owners. The butchers was also excellent and the Carrefour local was large (you could do a weekly shop here - good wine section too) - also 24 hour petrol. The village has a few good cafes plus a greengrocers and a "Proxi" supermarket and a post office. There is an excellent market on Sunday mainly selling fruit, veg, cheese, sausage, duck (you are bombarded by duck products in this area of the dordogne), nougat, wine from local chateaux, hats, baskets. It takes about 25 mins to walk to Rouffignac from La Perode, which was perfect for us as we had a dog with us. It is also possible to do a reasonable walk (about a mile) with the dog around the footpaths surrounding La Perode. The drive along the lane approaching La Perode has fabulous views and sums up just how beautiful the countryside is in this part of the Dordogne. Their is also a camp-site on this road, but things did begin to close down by mid-September, so we didn't use the on-site restaurant there. This area is stunning with lots to do, canoeing, river boat trips on Dordogne, loads of walking on GR routes, beautiful towns and villages to visit - Sarlat is a must (quite busy and touristy but gorgeous), Montignac, St Leon Sur Vevere and further afield Rocamador is stunning. Local caves are worth a visit as is Chateau L'Herme and further afield Chateau Hautefort is in a stunning location. Make sure to have lunch - the french do it so well - and the costs were between euros 15 and 18 for 3/4 courses, but get there early! Alec and Annie were perfect hosts and nothing was too much trouble - very knowledgeable on the local area. Loved it all.

Ideal location in the Dordogne.

We were a family party of 8. We all slept comfortably with a bedroom to spare. The house was clean and tidy and well equiped. Everything was in good working order and we had the luxury of talking to the owners, who live close by, if we had any queries. We spent most of our time by the high standard swimming pool where all facilties were to hand. Fridge, barbecue, toilet, sink, table tennis , table & chairs, sunbeds, inflatables etc. Clearly the owners had thought of everything. I bought several decent table tennis bats before the holiday but I wasted my money because the bats there were better than mine! We spent hours in the pool and consumed a beer or two to cool off. Some of the family went horse riding and to the prehistoric caves . There is a very decent restaurant only 10 minutes walk from the house which we frequented as the food was excellent and good value. We had a pleasant morning at Rouffignac market which is about 7 minutes drive, although a few of us walked. We visited a few towns and villages in the area but sadly ran out of time to see everythying we wanted. On reflection, 1 week was no long enough. The owners, Alec & Annie. went out of their way to help us and we had a delightful and stress free holidat at La Perode. Jim Kearns

A perfect holiday location

We had a lovely family holiday at La Perode. The property was exactly as described on the website. It was clean, spacious and contained everything we could possibly need. The pool area particularly was wonderful and we had hoped to spend most of our time there, but unfortunately the weather was disappointing and we managed only a couple of visits. However on other days we visited the lovely Chateau et Jardins de Losse, a great aquarium at Le Bugue and the Rouffignac Caves, all thoroughly recommended. We loved wandering around the extensive grounds spotting the many different birds and butterflies. In the evenings we enjoyed sitting out with a glass of wine listening to the cicadas and other night sounds. Alec and Annie were the perfect hosts - always there to help but never intrusive. They are very kind and friendly. We would definitely recommend this property to friends and relatives and we hope return one day.
