Guest comments
We had a great couple of weeks at the house! We loved the lake at Le Jemaye and went there a few times. Dinners at Aubeterre and also the restaurant "La Coquilicot" (a bit in the middle of nowhere turning left out past the mini-golf outside St Severin). Kids were very happy out there, and therefore we were!
Our photos are on Facebook and we've already had 3 sets of couples ask us for the details with the view to booking it up next year - it really was lovely and we'd like to get back there before kids get to school age.
House swap
House swap considered - especially skiing chalet.
Owner profile
About the owner
We are a young family and all love going to France on Holiday, the boys are forever in the garden or pool whilst my wife and I spend our time eating, drinking coffee or having a glass of rose as the sun sets.
Year purchased: 2006
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We wanted a place we could have stress free family holidays, where the food would be great and we could fly for the weekend or drive if we were staying longer. We picked this place because its in the Perigord, the gastronomic heart of france, its about the closest place with a significantly better climate and its such a relaxing place.
Unique benefits of the property
The massive kitchen is at the center of the house, cool in summer and warm in the winter in front of the wood burner.
We have kept a French feel but dispensed with some of the chintz and dark interiors that can characterize some other properties in this area.
