Saint-Cernin-de-lʼHerm house rentals

We loved staying here, it was idyllic and we really appreciated how beautiful the house is. We hope to come back

We recently stayed at this property located in the centre of the 12th century Bastide town of Monpazier for 8 nights. Our hosts were Derek and Amanda who are from England and who with TLC have lovingly restored this 3 storey building into 2 rental floors and the 3rd being for the owners. Prior to our arrival our hosts had asked if we required any assistance and were eager to make our stay a good one. We were warmly greeted on our arrival and Amanda had put milk bread cheese,jam and a bottle of lovely red wine in the apartment for our arrival which was one of the most welcoming gestures we had encountered in our travels. Our ground floor apartment was modern, clean, had the most comfortable bed of huge proportions which made the comfort level 10 out of 10 for us. The bedroom was very large so plenty of room for cases etc. The open plan dining,lounge and kitchen was fantastic, truly a place to relax and do as much or as little as you wished. All towels, kitchen utensils etc included in the apartment and lots of space to relax. Although the weather was not kind to us the outside pool area was always clean and inviting. Our hosts were on site but not intrusive but very obligining if we were in need of anything. The property is superbly located in the centre of this pretty village and just a few metres to the truly magnificent boulangerie with croissants to die for. There are 2 small supermarkets, butchers, a number of restaurants and some lovely shops if you need some retail therapy. Located just near the cental square where a meal, coffee of wine could be enjoyed in a peaceful atmosphere. Not on the main tourist route but ideally located to do day trips quite easily to some of the most beautiful towns in th Dordogne region. We would highly recommend this property and hope to return again. ( Just a point for the owners and in no way a negative, but more pieces of crockery and cutlery would be helpful and the addition of a small washing machine under the bathroom bench would be of great help for long stays).
