We enjoyed every minute of this beautiful, well-appointed 3-level in La Roque-Gageac. The kitchen worked perfectly--after all, the host is a retired chef! We found everything we needed, washing machine, etc. This 3-level sits below the gorgeous cliffs, adjacent to the wide stone stairway that takes you up to the cliffside roadways with their breathtaking views of the Dordogne River. And from all three levels of this 3-level, you look straight out at the river. We were met by the host who took care of every need (parking pass, restaurant and cafe suggestions). He was delightful. While on the street side we could look out to the river, in back we found a sweet terrace with picnic table (and clothes line, also helpful), looking up through flowers and vines at the limestone cliffs above. We felt very lucky indeed to be in this beautiful place.
Perfect property for exploring the Dordogne valley, tucked into the cliffs of Le Roque looking at the River, with bedrooms and bathrooms (including toilets) for all 3 couples. We had a fabulous trip hiking, canoeing, visiting ancient cave paintings and exploring all the beauty of the Dordogne Valley. Thank you, Marc for making our stay memorable
Lovely place to stay central to many locations in the area. Need to let people know about the three levels of spiral stairs with heavy luggage.

Thank you Lee for your review and comments regarding the stairs.. We réalise for some guests the stairs may present a problem.Therefore I always advise people with large luggage to use the outside steps & pass through the garden and enter by the rear of the property. I am always available to lend a hand when necessary. Kind regards.Mark
We had a very nice stay. The welcome by Marc and Jenny was outstanding.

It was a pleasure hosting Karen & much appreciate her sympathetic comments We wish her all the best for the remainder of her trip and a safe return.Mark & Jenny
This was our 2nd time staying in Marc’s lovely place which is right on the Dordogne River with a stunning cliff backdrop. Marc and Jennie are wonderful hosts and this place has everything you need. We hope to return another time again.
A beautiful house, spotlessly clean, spacious and with fabulous views, and a lovely private garden at the rear. We had a wonderful week in the house. It's a perfect base to explore the area. We really enjoyed shopping at the many local markets and eating at the house in the evenings, either in the dining room overlooking the river or in the pretty garden. The kitchen is superbly equipped for good cooking! The hosts are very friendly and helpful.

We very much enjoyed our stay at this property in La Roque-Gageac. The apartment was very comfortable for the three of us. The location is very convenient in the town, with shops and restaurants near at hand. We had a beautiful view of the river, especially from the dining area. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. The proprietor even provided some basic foodstuffs before our arrival. He was also very helpful with providing additional services for us, and he answered communications very quickly. We would highly recommend this location.

The property was immaculate and very comfortable. Location was spectacular, nestled at the base of a lovely cliff side village along the Dordogne River. Hosts were most kind, leaving us an assay of local fruits and eggs from their home.

What a great place to base out of for visiting the Dordogne area…the cottage was perfect for us and our friends. It was very comfortable with a well appointed kitchen, living area to gather in and each couple had their own bathroom.
Also, Marc was easy to communicate with directions, etc.

Its was a pleasure to have hosted such appreciative guests It makes our efforts so worthwhile. We are delighted Connor & his group enjoyed their visit & we look forward to welcoming them again. Mark & Jennie
Wonderful location in fascinating Roque-Cagneac overlooking the River.
Had a great time in this historical town. Good choice of restaurants within walking distance or a short drive. The property is well equipped with comfortable bedrooms and more bathrooms than bedrooms; a big plus. Owners were very helpful and very responsive to text questions although we didn’t have many.

The host was there promptly to meet us and tell us all about the property
The outlook was amazing with beautiful views of the Dordogne River
The property is spacious but a little dated.
The bathrooms were plentiful, four in all.
However the water pressure was poor.
Overall a positive experience

Thanks Sue for submitting your reveiw. I am glad you pointed out the poor water pressure .. most likely caused by build up of lime scale..Water here is extremely hard due to the limestone.
I have now replaced the filters & checked the shower heads. We are always grateful to guests who make positive comments so we can improve & endeavour to upgrade the property
Kind regards Mark
For a group of 5 people spending Christmas in the Dordogne, we found the accommodation had everything we needed. On arrival Marc and Jenny, gave us a welcome pack of fruit, eggs and milk and were there to greet us and give us all the information we required.We spent a very pleasant 5 days relaxing and enjoying the local area. Perfect position for enjoying the area. I would have no hesitation in recommending this property.

A perfectly located cottage, with great character and attention to detail
We had a great time. Marc and Jenny were perfect hosts, friendly but discreet. The cottage itself has been really well fitted out and the living room , dining room and two of the bedrooms overlook the river directly which is just glorious. There were lovely touches such as the vases of fresh flowers in every room, soft towels and tasteful decor and furnishings. Lovely in every way !

With very best wishes Marc-Pierre & Jennie
The house is even lovelier than the pictures, with so many charming details: stone walls, wood and tile floors, extraordinary views. It's well located as a base for travel in the region as well as convenient for visiting this fascinating town. Shops and restaurants are a short walk away, and the Marqueyssac Gardens and several chateaux just minutes away by car. Mark is a kind and attentive host who made sure we had all we needed during our visit. An exceptional stay all around!

A big thank you to Marc and Jennie who are brilliant hosts. They were welcoming, friendly and extremely helpful . The property was spotless, spacious and very well equipped. The location couldn’t be better, beautiful views all round and a lovely terrace garden in which we enjoyed many bbqs. There were fresh flowers throughout the house and having essentials in the fridge and a beautiful bowl of fruit on arrival made us feel at home straight away . We’d definitely like to go again .

We greatly appreciated your spontaneous & sympathetic review Alison and again many thanks for looking after the plants & leaving the apartment in such good order. It was a great pleasure hosting you all. We sincerely hope to welcome you again in the near future. Kindest regards Mark & Jennie.
This beautiful three-story property is located right by the Dordogne river in this picturesque town. Previously a bed and breakfast, it is very well furnished, and the kitchen well equipped. The place was very well kept and clean, and the host can't be friendlier and more attentive. The surroundings can be a bit busy during the day, but it didn't bother us because we were generally out and about until the evenings, when the town was back to its sleepy self. We stayed almost a week, and had a great time using it as a base to explore the fascinating and history-rich region. Kayaking out of La Roque Gageac is very convenient. Would recommend this property most definitely.

Marc met us at the apartment at 8 o’clock in the evening and showed us around. He and his wife came back in the morning with tips on internet and what to see. We prefer staying in traditional accommodations instead of modern hotels and this fit the bill. We had river views from 2 rooms and the rock wall from another. We enjoyed our stay here very much.
P.S. The bakery downstairs didn’t seem to have fresh products the 3 times we shopped there.

About the host
Hosted by Walker Marc
Following my passion for cooking I trained as a chef, In 1981 my wife and I purchased La Plume d'Oie restaurant in the village of La Roque Gageac. In 1991, we decided, to build the Auberge with 4 rooms to rent.
Why they chose this property
When the restaurant closed in December 2016 after 36 years, I decided to refurbish the auberge into a holiday home with 3 double bedrooms, a well equipped kitchen and dining room overlooking the Dordogne along with a lounge which also has views over the river.
What makes this property unique
The unique architecture of the village by the cliff makes it amazing. Your stay in la Roque gageac will allow you to discover the surroundings which has so many historical references. It is also astonishing if you like to hike and enjoy nature.
