Super séjour en Dordogne

Le gîtes de Shona et Steve a été parfait pour notre séjour à 6, avec nos 4 enfants. Le gîte est très bien équipé (équipements de la cuisine, jeux de société, WIFI, etc), l’accès à la piscine est possible toute la journée en fonction de nos envies, le gîte est idéalement situé pour accéder à de nombreuses activités et visites sans faire beaucoup de route, et l’accueil de Shona et Steve est très chaleureux. Nous avons passé un excellent séjour.

Super holiday in the Dordogne

This is a lovely property with everything you need for a comfortable self-catering holiday. Shona very kindly left some provisions in the fridge for when we arrived - and some wine too! The pool is lovely and has the most amazing view out over the valley. Plenty of space for a family of 4 with older teenage children. Shona and Steve were very hospitable and gave us lots of suggestions for places to visit, markets, etc. We had a great holiday and would definitely recommend La Baronnie Gite. Only thing to mention is that the stairs are quite steep and might not be very suitable for those with more limited mobility.

A curate’s egg

A well situated gite for access to local facilities. Quite well equipped and a supply of basics but with a very steep and open staircase - not good for young children or their aged grandparents! Apart from our non- welcome on a ten minute early arrival, our main criticism was the tripping of the electricity supply on consecutive days and the process to rectify it. Clearly a supply inadequate for the needs of two Gîtes and a pool.

Heerlijke vakantie in mooie omgeving

Mooie, waarschijnlijk eeuwenoude gite maar wel met goed sanitair en een goed uitgeruste keuken. En een heerlijk zwembad. Gastvrouw en -heer zijn aardig, gastvrij en informeel maar toch heel discreet. Zij geven ook veel tips over te bezoeken plaatsen en bezienswaardigheden. Heerlijke vakantie gehad

Highly recommended

The gite is very tastefully decorated and retains a lot of original features while still being contemporary. A lot of thought has been given to what guests might want or need and this is one of the best equipped gites we have stayed in. The accommodation is on three levels with steps which would be difficult for anyone with mobility issues or possibly families with young children who want to be close to parents. The twin room is in the loft with a large beam across the middle which is low but adds lovely character. We usually prefer gites with total privacy as we both work hard and need time away from people but Steve and Shona somehow manage to strike a perfect balance between being friendly and approachable but not in any way intruding. They were helpful and gave us some great advice about suitable activities. Our boys, age 16 and 8, enjoyed the pool which we had to ourselves most of the time and wifi making a relaxing time for us all. They also enjoyed occasional visits from the hosts cat. The gite is well situated near to lots the region has to offer but in a slightly less touristy area with beautiful views across the valley. Overall we would highly recommend this gite as it has lots to offer.

Hervorragende Unterkunft

Perfekte Unterkunft für einen Aufenthalt im Perigord noir (bei uns 1 Woche): Liebevoll und gemütlich eingereichtete, saubere Gite mit kompletter Ausstattung (neben Bettwäsche auch Handtücher und Gegenstände des täglichen Bedarfs) nebst sehr gut funktionierendem WLan. Die Außenanlagen sind gepflegt und schön angelegt, der Pool hat den ganzen Tag Sonne. Die Lage ist 1a: am Hang nach Süden und verkehrgünstig zu allen Sehenswürdigkeit. Und bei alledem ist die Vermieterin Shona sehr hilfsbereit und unkompliziert. Besser hätten wir es kaum treffen können.

Great family gite, with pool, in good location.

This authentic gite was was clean, well maintained, well equipped with a good layout. Large live in kitchen adjacent to a smaller lounge area with TV. One the first floor there are two good sized bedrooms , one of which is en suite. Both bathrooms have modern shower systems. On the second floor, accessed via a spiral staircase, is twin bedded bedroom. The gite is set in a lovely gardenwith a short stroll to the very private heated swimming pool. Very peaceful location and setting but only a short drive to many of the local attractions and restaurants. Great area for walking, cycling, swimming, chilling by the pool and BBQ’ing. Shona and Steve are great on - site but discreet hosts who have an in-depth knowledge of the local area. They offer a very welcoming and hospitable reception to guests.

Stunning property for total relaxation

We stayed for a week and booked both the apartment and gite. Both properties are typically French which we loved. They are maintained to a high standard and have everything you need and more. Shona and Steve were fab even providing information on the area before we arrived. Bellinis and local wine on the first evening and the welcome treats in the property were such a lovely touch. The pool is such a bonus for the children to use after a day exploring all the region has to offer. I cannot wait to go back!

Stunning & Relaxing

We (myself, husband, 2 boys plus Aunt & Uncle) had a wonderful stay here. The gite has everything and more. Shona & Steve are so welcoming but discreet. They had thought of all the little details in the welcome pack. I had no need to worry about breakfast. Pool towels, dishwasher tablets, shower gel, soap etc all provided. The heated pool is beautiful with great views. Plenty of loungers. A very relaxing spot. Our boys loved Shona & Steves cat. The gite is in a perfect location for seeing all the sights and is very close to St Cyprien for shops and restaurants. Would definitely recommend.

merveilleux séjour à la petite baronnie

Nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour dans la très cosy et accueillante petite Baronnie. Tout est fait pour que l 'on s'y sente bien . Tout d'abord l' accueil et les bons conseils de Shona et Steeve , puis le cadre et la situation du gîte . Je n' ai jamais vu un gite aussi bien équipé , jusqu'au charbon de bois pour les barbecues et les jolies serviettes de bain pour lézarder autour de la piscine . Tout est proche pour visiter le Périgord noir . A recommander sans hésiter . Clotilde, Thomas ,Jules, Baptiste et Martin.

Stunning Gite in a stunning location

This beautiful Gite is in an ideal location to explore the prehistoric caves, the numerous chateaus, the Dordogne river and the beautiful historical towns and villages. The Gite is of a high standard with all amenities as well as a wonderful pool with stunning views over the Dordogne valley. The owners (Shona and Steve) made you feel so welcome and ensured you had everything you required. I would definitely recommend this Gite.

A little gem in the heart of the Dordogne!

A wonderful homely gite with everything required to have a relaxed holiday. Very tastefully decorated and furnished. The house is very well equipped and the welcome basket of essentials very much appreciated. After a long journey the supermarket is the last thing on your mind!! The Gite is in a great position on a hillside with amazing views across the Dordogne countryside. very centrally positioned to visit all tourist villages/sights. The pool is amazing- very clean, lovely comfy sun loungers, amazing views while you relax and chill out after a morning of sightseeing. The outside table/chairs & BBQ great for evening meals with food from local markets and local wines to wash it down!! The local village was minutes away by car for all essentials. Bikes were available to use, which on this occasion we didn't use. We will definitely recommend to family & friends and hopefully ourselves be back one day. The owners are very welcoming and helpful on any local information.

A gem of a gite which we intend returning to...

We have recently enjoyed our 2nd visit to the gite at La Petite Baronnie and were again delighted by the accommodation (now enlarged and very commodious), facilities, ambience and friendly hosts. Having enjoyed a visit two years ago, we brought 4 members of our extended family with us this time around. None were familiar with the Dordogne or gites. All were hugely impressed and keen to return. The gite enjoys such a convenient location, close to all of the main attractions of the area (Sarlat, Domme, Castelnaud, Beynac etc). Nonetheless, there are quieter pursuits available on the doorstep if preferred (country walks, canoeing and the local Sunday Market). Our particular favourite this time around was Les Jardins des Marqueyssac - especially pretty as the sun goes down and the tea lights come on during Thursday evening Music Nights. Shona and Steve are incredibly helpful and ready with local tips, advice and a welcoming Bellini! We will be back for many years to come I suspect!

Great holiday location

Me and my family had a fantastic time at La Petite Baronnie. We stayed there last year and loved it, so came back for another visit. The owners Shona and Steve were very welcoming and had some really helpful advice about where to visit and eat. The gite is well equipped to the point where it is almost like home from home! The location of the gite caters perfectly for all different types of families. If you're an active family it is right on the Dordogne for canoeing. If you're more interested in site seeing, it is on the doorstep of Castlenaud (this was our favourite place) and Beynac to name a few! Alternatively if you are looking for a more relaxing holiday, they have a lovely heated swimming pool which is very well kept. Highly recommend and we will be returning.

Fantastic

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the gite. Our hosts, Shona and Steve, were very friendly and ready with advice when needed - a lovely welcome drink on the terrace, which extended well in to the evening. The gite is clean and well appointed with everything we needed and if there had been anything extra we required I'm sure Shona would have rustled it up for us! The children were very happy with their rooms and the fans were very welcome on the hot nights. As was the pool, lovely to cool down after a day out in 36°C heat. The location is great, with beautiful views over the neighbouring countryside and very quiet. The boulangerie is a short walk away and the supermarket a quick drive up the road. The area offers masses to do: markets, caves, gardens, medival towns and chateaux aplenty, making La Petite Baronnie an ideal location. Kayaking down the Dordogne with a picnic is to be recommended and not overly arduous. The night market - marché gourmand - was good fun, with lots of choice, including Vietnamese street food and the ubiquitous crepes and gauffre. At La Buisson I'd recommend the pork, slow roasted over hot coals. All in all, it was wonderful. Thanks Steve and Shona for your hospitality and we hope to be back another year. PS. Give a cuddle to Smokey

Great gite and welcoming owners

We arrived quite late after a few delays and were greeted by Shona and Steve who gave a warm and friendly welcome then spent a couple of hours with us going through the gite, the area and things which we could do. Thanks for the peach bellinis! The gite was a little larger then we expected from the photos. It was lovely and clean and the linens and towels were good quality. The location is quiet, views wonderful and pool was a real bonus. We used the BBQ and ate outside before drinking a glass or two of wine and using the jenga which was provided along with lots of other games. There is a well stocked bookshelf and the telly and wifi worked perfectly. Our little bonus was smokey the very playful kitten who gave us hours of fun. Great accomodation, great location, great hosts. I'd be very happy to return there if I'm in the area in the future

About the host

Hosted by Shona Wisedale

Host profile image
I left a stressful job as a maths teacher at an academy in Gloucestershire to pursue our dream of a new life in a new country. When we fell in love with La Baronnie we knew the cottage would be perfect for a gite. We hope you love being here as much as we do!

We live on site, keep a low profile but are available if required. Equally, if you wish to be private on your holiday, that's fine too, we won't be offended!

Why they chose this property

The Dordogne area is just gorgeous with a wealth of history, places to visit and a wonderful climate. We viewed over 30 properties before choosing La Baronnie. Our sunny, south-facing location amongst wooded hills with rocky outcrops is idyllic, with spectacular chateau forts and honey-coloured medieval towns and villages nearby, who could want for more? We love the house and its views, its warm-coloured stone, traditional french windows, shutters and pigeonnier tower, its quirky layout and character, numerous patios, woodland, pool with a view and traditional French cattle-stalls in the gîte.

What makes this property unique

On the south-facing slope of the Dordogne valley, our property benefits from its sunny position, providing a real rural feel yet just minutes from the major tourist sites of the Perigord Noir including the medieval town of Sarlat and the castles of Beynac and Castelnaud and the Chateau des Milandes. Our pretty nearby town of St Cyprien has a vibrant and busy market every Sunday along with a Carrefour supermarket for all of your essential provisions. Our swimming pool area offers wonderful views of the Dordogne valley whilst being private and not overlooked. The Dordogne river, with canoe rental, river beaches and hot-air balloon rides is just minutes away. The nearby Vézère river offers several prehistoric sites around the small town of Les Eyzies. Several excellent restaurants are nearby
