Vallée de la Dordogne et Forêt Bessède lake rentals

We enjoyed our stay at this little cottage while we were at a multi wedding near by. The cottage is very clean and well equipped with everything we needed.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this fabulous property in Saint Cyprien. We used it as a base to explore Tremolat, Le Bugue, Les Eyzies, Sarlat, Domme, Beynac , La Roque Gageac and the gardens of Marqueyssac. Laurence was wonderful with her attention to detail in the presentation of the property and her local knowledge. She was very accomodating with our late arrival due to cancelled trains. The house itself has absolutely everything you would need. I can recommend it for your visit to the Dordogne.

When we first read all of the reviews on Butterfly Cottage before booking, we thought that they really sounded a little bit "too good to be true". But we have to say they are all completely an accurate description of the property and its wonderful hosts. There really are no negatives! Linda and George, the cottage hosts, are the most helpful and genuine people you will ever meet. From the moment we booked, Linda was in touch with very useful information to help make the trip perfect. She provided suggestions of what to see and do in the area, helpful hints and excellent directions to the cottage from where we were coming from. The Dordogne area is absolutely beautiful! There are so many wonderful places to visit and many were only 15 to 20 minutes away by car. Would recommend canoeing on the river. One of our favourites. The cottage itself is stunning. The pictures on the website are great but it is even better in person. There is absolutely everything that you need in the cottage and lots of personal touches by the hosts that make it special. It makes a very comfortable stay. We had chef Dimitri come to the cottage to cook for us one night. He was amazing and it was truly some of the best french food we had tasted. There is also a larger cottage on the property but both cottages have their own private courtyard and areas and it really feels like you have it all to yourself. Butterfly Cottage is now a very special and memorable place to us, as it was on the grounds of the property (in the jacuzzi overlooking a pretty field) that we got engaged. A first at Les Hirondelles apparently! Thank you Linda and George for the lovely card and bottle of champagne for us to celebrate with. We would highly recommend a stay here! Peter & Katey
