Guest comments
What can we say - fantastic hosts, fantastic location, amazing house. By far the best holiday we have ever had. A,S & C - Bristol.
It's so well geared up for two young boys and it's felt like our home for the last 2 weeks. We will be very sad to leave as it's been such a special holiday. M, J, R & M - London.
This is the 1st time we've ever returned to a holiday destination and it has surpassed our enjoyment of last year. G & J - Leeds.
This is our 1st experience of France & it exceeded our expectations! Weather, hosts, accommodation & location 'merveilleuse'. We probably could have seen more but you spoiled us with the pool, garden etc. We hope to return again. R, J, E, E, & M - N Ireland.
Many thanks for being such fantastic hosts, so much knowledge of the surrounding areas. We will never forget this week as I found it the perfect venue & atmosphere to propose to by beautiful girlfriend under the stars. A & A - Newcastle.

About the owner
We are a semi-retired professional couple in our early 50's who moved to France from Hampshire in 2004, to indulge our love of good food, good wine, and a passion for our garden.
Having spent many happy family holidays in the Dordogne, our two sons have now grown up and our 4 grandchildren are now also regular visitors. We are friendly people who thoroughly enjoy meeting our visitors and our aim is to ensure that our guests have an excellent stay.
Year purchased: 2004
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
We fell in love with the region whilst enjoying a number of family holidays. This was primarily because of the beautiful countryside with its lakes, rivers & forests, the wealth of visitor attractions and the friendly local culture. Our village at Hautefort St Agnan is particularly pretty with a premier chateau, a 17th century hospice museum and a charming old quarter nestled around the chateau. The village also has good amenities including a number of restaurants, shops, bank ATM, doctors, dentist, etc.
Unique benefits of the property
Staying at Les Tachats offers the benefit of being able to both relax in very quiet, beautiful surroundings, not overlooked by other properties, but also being a few minutes walk away from the village shops and supermarket. One can take a stroll in the morning for the fresh bread & croissants without having to get in the car and also visit the restaurants in the evening & enjoy a glass of wine with a meal without having to drive back afterwards.
