Thanks Simon, we're glad you had an enjoyable stay.
We had a fabulous week exploring Belves and the surrounding area - both absolutely stunning! The cottage is perfectly situated, just outside the centre of the village but with very easy access. The view from the balcony is amazing - as advertised. Thanks for a great stay.

Enjoyable and economical. fantastic area
This house is as good as it gets. Everything you want is there and the village is lovely but not on the main tourist trail.
Many thanks Bruce for all your help.

This house satisfies all the requirements for a relaxed, enjoyable stay: easy access by car with parking next to house. Lovely walk to mideaval central village with shops and restaurants. Great central location for day tripping. House is comfortable and functional but not fussy so you can relax and enjoy the space. Wonderful balcony with table overlooking the countryside for coffee/cocktails/dinner. The owners are fantastic to work with.

We are so pleased you had a great time in the house and the village.
Nestled in the residential part of a small French hillside village, lovely valley views whilst having breakfast and evening wine & cheese on the balcony. Belves is a delightful little community with all the characteristics of typical rural life. The only disappointment was the village bakery had closed down so had to drive a short distance to pick up our morning croissants and baguette for breakfast. Seven days of great weather, a chateau wedding, visits to Sarlat (markets on Wed & Sat ) and Monpazier (Thurs ) are highly recommended, the latter having a lovely wineshop- bought some delightful local wines enjoyed on the balcony + supplies to bring home.
The house is situated in a quiet street 10 minutes walk from the town square with shops, restaurants and bars.
The house itself has everything you need for a comfortable stay and a balcony off the dining room with stunning views of the town and across the countryside. We spent much of our time in the house here as it was just such a beautiful view !
The master bedroom is large with a sitting area and TV it also provides great views of the local area.
The sitting room was good to relax in with lots of seating and provided a cooler space when the weather was hot outside.
Having the 'House Book' with information on how to use all the equipment in the kitchen and explaining how to operate the TV, DVD player etc was a great help. We very much appreciated the information we received from the host prior to our visit about things to do nearby. This information was also available in the house with lots of useful maps and suggestions.
The host was super to work with answering our queries prior to arrival and providing the instructions on how to get to the property and gain access well in advance.
We had a fantastic holiday and very much look forward to returning to Belves.

I am so glad you had a great holiday in the cottage, Bruce
Séjour en hiver. Très beau village à visiter, balades à faire panoramiques dans le secteur. Belle vue de la maison. Gîte très agréable et très bien équipé, avec un principe appréciable de participation de tous au confort des séjours.
Nous avons passé un séjour magnifique dans cette maison. D'abord, la communication avec le propriétaire a été très agréable. Nous avons reçu toutes les informations utiles bien à l'avance. L'arrivée s'est très bien passée. Nous avons trouvé une maison suffisamment grande pour 6 personnes, bien que nous n'ayons été que 4 😊. Deux salles de bains et une machine à laver se sont révélées très pratiques. Mais le plus agréable, c'était le balcon offrant une vue magnifique sur la bastide de Belvès. Le village est bien placé pour les visites en Dordogne. N'oubliez pas de visiter le marché de Belvès qui a lieu tous les samedis. Merci pour l'accueil, nous serons ravis de revenir.

Nous vous remercions pour vos commentaires et nous sommes ravis que vous ayez passé de bonnes vacances.
The house is just couple of minutes’ walk from the center of Belves. The view from the kitchen/dining room is magnificent.
Everything was clean but requires some upgrades. The main disappointment is not having dishwasher.
Maison de village propice à la découverte des trésors du Périgord noir
Une maison avec une vue imagnifique sur le village de Belves. Bon point de départ pour visiter les villages, châteaux , grottes de la région.
Un classeur avec toutes les indications pratiques pour l utilisation du lieu et la découverte des sites touristiques est le bienvenu.
Bon séjour
La maison est très bien située (à 5 minutes du bourg de Belvès), propre, spacieuse (les 2 salles de bain sont appréciables !), tous le nécessaire est présent pour être comme à la maison! La vue du balcon est magnifique.
Merci aux propriétaires pour le petit classeur explicatif très utile, ils prennent soin de leurs locataires !

Merci. Je suis heureuse que votre séjour etait si agréable.
3 jours dans cette maison où il ne manque rien, et qui est très calme.
Accès à pieds à la place du marché en 5 mn, proche de nombreux autres villages.
Bon contact à distance avec les propriétaires qui sont réactifs.
Great location with short walk to centre of very pretty village. Extremely well equipped quirky house with plenty of character. Perigord noir is an excellent location to visit. The communal meal in the market square in BELVES every Wednesday evening is not to be missed.
Nous avons passé un très bon séjour gîte très confortable il ne manque rien un grand merci

We are an Australian couple with a love of French culture, food, wine and history. Over a decade ago ago we were able to purchase our own piece of France with the cottage in Burgundy. Recently the opportunity arose to purchase two additional cottages we've always enjoyed staying at, in Dordogne and Provence, so we can now offer holiday accommodation is three of France's most delightful regions.
