Family holiday

We were a group of 6 adults and 3 children and this house was perfect for all ages. The large garden was beautiful and the pool was lovely. The shallow ledge was particularly useful for my 2 year old to have a little paddle. The trampoline was also a big hit. All the rooms were lovely and big and the open barn outside was a perfect spot to sit under for evening meals. The house is in a quiet little village but small villages and towns within a short distance. We had a great morning kayaking in Riberac and the lovely town of Aubetter

Superbe maison très bien équipée

Notre séjour était parfait, nous étions 10 adultes et 5 enfants, la distribution des chambres a permis de séparer le groupe « famille levés tôt » du groupe « sans enfants grasse mat’ » c’était impeccable. Beaux et grands volumes, chambres très agréables, nombreux espaces extérieurs pour différentes activités, cuisine très bien équipée pour les grandes tablées, super communication avec Priscilla et sa famille qui nous a donné plein de recommandations. Merci !

Rural idyll

A genuine rustic home, a bit of a distance from shops but we soon embraced that! Very comfortable beds and LOADS of crockery and cutlery for our large group. The children loved the freedom of the acres of space around the property. On the last night we discovered they had taken their bath towels to the top field and all six of them were laid out in a row looking at the stars.

semaine en famille

Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour en compagnie de nos enfants et petits enfants. C'est une maison ancienne avec énormément de charme qui propose tout le confort dont nous avions besoin. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié les différents endroits dans le jardin avec des ambiances très différentes. La piscine, éloignée de la maison, est très agréable. le parc est magnifique et la région est très belle. Bref, c'est une semaine que nous n'oublierons pas. Accueil très chaleureux des propriétaires.

agréable séjour mais

dommage que la piscine ne soit pas chauffée, nous n'avons pas pu en profiter autant que nous l'aurions voulu. La maison est très grande mais sonore.. Le parc est superbe.

About the host

Hosted by Anton and Priscilla Barnard

We are a sprawling bundle of all ages, my wife is french originating from Dordogne, and I was brought up in west Sussex in a little village called Findon near Worthing, in England and am an architect by trade. This property is our family home that we let out only for a few weeks a year and as such we welcome families to a little bit of authentic "frenchness" in the Dordogne region, perfect for a low key holiday and time to relax. Welcome chez nous !
The Barnard family !

Why they chose this property

The house brims over with charm from its old beams to its old terracotta floors .
The morning sunshine flooding through the bedroom windows is something that will bring a nostalgic smile to those of you who remember grandmas country cottage as children. Plenty of home comforts away from the madding crowd, no traffic plenty of spots to visit for the more adventurous amongst you and a fully equipped kitchen for cooks to create ...we spend endless amonts of time cooking ...its a major family passtime with 7 children as you might guess !
