Quiet relaxing location, nice swimming pool

Quiet, countryside property. Lovely swimming pool. Comfortable, well equipped gite. Good to have some English TV channels as well as French. The only disadvantage was that the Wi-Fi signal was poor in the first few days and then totally non-existent in the next week. There was also no phone signal so could not use internet at all for most of the time. It was about an hour’s drive to several interesting small towns, chateaux and caves. Local lake was nice for picnics and walks.

Our Trip to France

After a long day we arrived at the property which we found very easily. Chris and Alexandra met us with a warm welcome and took us to our home for the next week. First impressions were very good with every thing that we needed for a comfortable stay in the Gite. The large bedroom had a king size bed and a super on suite bathroom with a large shower which is a bonus in any place when away from home. The sitting room/ kitchen was well stocked with cutlery, crockery, glasses and cooking utensils with a nice modern cooker available to cook meals. A settee, comfy armchair and Sky TV were used when the weather turned, but most time was spent in the large expansive garden, grounds and beautiful swimming pool. It was great to sit out outside the Gite and eat, drink and take in the fantastic setting. All together we had a fantastic time with nice French and English neighbours, super hosts which we played French boules with the last night and a beautiful tranquil setting. I would certainly recommend this Gite to anyone.

A fantastic, relaxed and well organised property

We started our honeymoon by relaxing at this property and taking in the surrounding area. Chris and Alexandra couldn't have been more welcoming or accomodating. We had peaceful days by the pool, interesting days out and even an afternoon canoeing on the lake nearby. A truly fantastic venue and with some great hosts. I dare say we will be back again.

About the host

Hosted by Alexandra Billing

Your hosts Chris & Alexandra Billing. Gites de Rouffiaguet opened in 2007 with a few guests but really took off in 2008. We meet lots of lovely people from young couples to empty nesters! We have no control over the climate but we can offer a warm welcome and comfortable stay. We love living here all year. It takes a while to get used to the slower pace of life but not that long! It is so nice here that we haven't got round to exploring the rest of France!
We are both from England. I moved here with my first husband and his mother Mary and partner John in 2003. Sadly Stephen died suddenly in 2004. Chris joined me here when we married in 2006. I have a daughter and son and five grandchildren. Chris has a son and daughter and a granddaughter.

Why they chose this property

My first husband Stephen and I used to holiday in France with our children. We had a caravan and usually headed to the Atlantic coast to chill out for 3 weeks. Stephen was stressed with the management side of teaching. We decided to move to France but we didn't want to live on the coast. We chose the Dordogne for it's peaceful, gently rolling countryside which is popular with British holiday makers.
We came house hunting one weekend in June 2002. A property near Limoges seemed to meet our requirements but was too much of a wreck! The estate agent took us to a few more which were not suitable and then suddenly turned up the lane to Rouffiaguet. It had just come on the market so there were no details yet. It ticked all the boxes as far as the accommodation was concerned. A habitable house for us, detached barn for his mother Mary & John, a large intact barn for the business. Later we discovered several tourist attractions which hadn't been on our criteria! We bought it in Jan 2003 and spent each school holiday moving over with a 7 ton lorry. We moved on 23rd July, the day after the end of term! The locals made us very welcome.
Sadly Stephen died of a heart attack in 2004 at the age of 48. We moved with the intention of staying for life and all felt rooted here. Stephen had done so much of the conversion work, we wanted to stay and finish it for him. I was thanking God for finding this wonderful location for us the week before Stephen died so I carried on praising God and trusting Him. Mary and John moved from the house into the Porcherie May 2005, when it was finished.
I met Chris who I had worked with in Bedford. He had also suffered a bereavement. We married in 2006 and he joined us out here and we are living happily ever after!

What makes this property unique

Lac Rouffiac is just at the bottom of the lane so you can walk to the beach or watch the wake boarding. As we are surrounded by fields there is no light pollution so you can star gaze or watch the glow worms. There is minimal traffic noise. There are a variety of caves to visit on hot days or a showery day. The chateaux vary from stabilised ruins, to posh stately homes all with different styles. It is not a case that once you have seen one you have seen them all! Plenty of Farmers markets and old medieval towns and villages to delight the photographer in you!
