Wonderful little gite with fantastic hosts

Fantastic gite with plenty of indoor and outdoor space to relax and enjoy. We all enjoyed the pool, trampoline, tennis and badminton during the day and the hot tub was a lovely evening luxury. Near enough to the supermarkets and close by some lovely places to visit. Very relaxing holiday and can’t wait to visit again! Thank you!

Everything a family could need

The house was perfect for a family of four. Plenty of indoor and outdoor space for our young children; they loved the toys and activities set up in the garden and there were plenty of indoor games/toys if we had ever needed. Bedrooms were spacious and comfortable with 2 ensuites and a family bathroom downstairs. Kitchen was well stocked with equipment and house was very clean throughout. The location is extremely secluded and peaceful but plenty of towns and villages and activities within a 30 minute drive. Kathy and Dave were lovely hosts, welcoming and helpful both in getting us settled in and providing advice and tips whenever we asked. A brilliant stay.

Superb Villa

We had a wonderful time at Dave and Kathy's beautiful gite. The gite was very well appointed with everything you could possibly need. The surroundings were idyllic the only noise coming from the wildlife. 2 weeks was just not enough. Hopefully we will return again next year

All we could have wanted

And much more! This is an immaculate and very well equipped gite. Everything you need if you have a family is here. Our girls were keep well entertained with the pool, hot tub and outdoor toys. There’s also toys and books inside too! Dave and Kathy are perfect hosts and obviously take much pride in their gite - and so they should as it’s beautiful! Places around the area we enjoyed were the Piegut market on Wednesday, the Lake at St Estephe and Brantome. We would definitely recommend the Dordogne for a family holiday and would hopefully be able to return to Gites Les Montades - thank you!

Superb

The Les Montades gite is a real gem. Beautifully decorated and furnished with great facilities. We stayed for a week with our two daughters and some friends, and had a fantastic time. The pool provided the ideal place to cool off after a hot day sightseeing in the area and the hot-tub was great for evening relaxation. We all enjoyed the badminton and table tennis. What was particularly impressive was the attention to detail - e.g. the comprehensive folders of local information (including extra copies of information leaflets to take out and about). The owners, Kathy and Dave were so friendly and helpful. I had to see a doctor during our stay and they couldn't have been more supportive, even offering to accompany me if I'd needed it. Thoroughly recommended!

About the host

Hosted by Dave and Kathy Edwards

Hi, we are Kathy and Dave Edwards. We moved to south west France in 2016 having bought an old house in the Parc Naturel Limousin Perigord, on the border of Haute Vienne/Dordogne. It came with acres of woodland and two separate cottages with adjoining barns.
So, we decided that we would renovate one of the cottages and its barn and turn them into a Gite which other people could rent and enjoy for a week or more to experience the relaxed lifestyle of rural France in our peaceful corner of this lovely country. We have done all the building work inside ourselves, it has been quite a challenge but the reward of seeing the beautiful property it has become are immense. The renovation is sympathetic and to a high standard.
Our time here has been quite a journey for us, faced with a new country, a new language, a different pace of life, not to mention getting used to driving on the right-hand side of the road. We are blessed in that we have lovely neighbours who have helped us and we have made some wonderful friends.
We look forward to welcoming you to our gite very soon.
