About this property

Fabulous Cottage in the Stunning Dordogne

Welcome to our lovely cottage situated in the heart of the Dordogne, with three bedrooms (one double, one twin and one single) and two bathrooms which makes it ideal for families and couples.

A New inground swimming pool, (unheated).

You will arrive at the property along a country lane with no-through traffic and we have a lovely long garden which makes it safe for families with young children. There are some lovely country walks for those who like to ramble and don't forget your bike maybe you could enjoy your own Tour de France!

The cottage has an open-plan lounge and newly fitted kitchen with french doors opening up onto a sun-drenched terrace and built-in barbecue, ideal for spending long summer evenings under the stars, excellent for sharing a bottle of the locally produced wines or for winter evenings cosy by the roaring fire, reading a good book. For parents that would like a romantic evening out without the children, babysitting can be arranged.

Our cottage provides total relaxation yet with all the jewels the region has to offer within a mere 10-20 minutes away.

In the immediate area there are many activities to be enjoyed including hot air ballooning, fishing, 18 hole golf course, canoeing, walking, lazy boat trips down the river, pony trekking and wine tasting.

We are situated in the Perigord Noir - the heart of the Dordogne. In an area of outstanding natural beauty where every turn leads to a picture postcard view. Discover the famous châteaux, beautiful villages and timeless scenery of a region immersed in history that stretches back to prehistoric times.

The region is famous for its gastronomy and wine, inside the many excellent local restaurants you can sample the local products such as walnuts, foie gras, confit de canard, truffles, goose and of course enjoy the famous french wines.

Chateau Millandes is only a five minute drive away, the château was once owned by the famous dancer Josephine Baker, whose life story is fascinating and there is also an excellent display of birds of prey, this is definitely one we recommend you visit. In the grounds of the château are lovely gardens, a restaurant, crazy golf and a swimming pool.

Only 15 minutes away is the stunning historic town of Sarlat, where there are many events during the summer with plenty of restaurants and cafes to choose from. There is also an excellent market held on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Other markets in the area include Le Bugue on a Tuesday and St Cyprien on a Sunday. Meander through the streets trying and buying the local produce or alternatively laze away an hour or two at one of the many cafes watching the people go by.

Keywords: Idyllic rural cottage in a country setting, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Lovely house in beautiful area
We booked for a week and the communication from Paul & Sarah was very reassuring. They were both there to meet us on arrival and were a lovely couple. The house is clean and modern but also has lots of character with a lovley fire place and thick stone walls. We've been to the Dordogne dozens of times before so know the area well but it never fails to impress me with its beautiful rolling hills and countryside as far as the eye can see. The pool is adequate for a family but isnt the biggest. If you have older teenagers then it might be tad on the small size. Check the dimensions provided. The only criticism is that there isnt much shade in the garden and the one parasol by the pool is very small. Recommended shade. some rustic

Lovely cottage
A spotlessly clean and very well-equipped, comfortable cottage in a blissfully-quiet location. Owners very friendly and helpful. Maybe the photos were a bit misleading as they make it look as there's a wide lawn area at the back of the property which there isn't, and the pics don't show that the terrace is actually in the drive/parking area. Some shade on the terrace would have been great and we didn't use the pool area for the same reason. Despite those few quibbles, we thoroughly enjoyed our week there.

Bonnes vacances en Dordogne
Une très jolie petite maison. Accueil plus que sympathique avec un premier approvisionnement dans le frigidaire pour le premier petit déjeuner. Vraiment très agréable. Pour que tout soit vraiment parfait, il faudra juste penser à changer les poêles qui ont fait leur temps. A part ça nous recommandons chaleureusement cette maison.

Fantastic, well located, spacious Gite!
The check-in process and communication (well ahead of our arrival date) was flawless. We were very surprised at the level of detail that had gone into equiping the property and number of essentials that are rarely provided at other properties (bin bags, tin foil, cooking oil, laundry detergent spices and basics for breakfast! ) The owners clearly care a great deal and this should be acknowleged - as so many do not, in our experience. The house was spacious and clean and bedding was of a high quality. The garden was also spacious and the pool was larger than we expected from the photographs in the listing . We had a very hot week (mid August '23) and the pool was absolutely essential and a comfortables temperature (for our young children to spend hours in each day). The house is 10 mins or so from anywhere (so a car is essential) and the supermarkets are 15-20mins away. You are however only 10-20mins from many castles and the Dordogne river itself. We enjoyed the quiet. We would certainly return.

Premières vacances dans le Périgord
Tout d’abord, nous avons été accueillis par Sarah et Paul qui sont des hôtes charmants . La maison correspond en tout point à l’annonce . L’emplacement géographique est idéal pour les visites . Impossible de s’ennuyer . Tellement de choses à découvrir dans cette belle région . Tout est beau . Tout est bon . Il est très agréable de profiter d’une piscine privée , surtout par cette chaleur. Nous avons pu nous reposer dans un calme absolu , dans un bel écrin de verdure , bercés par le chant d’une multitude d’oiseaux et de cigales . Amoureux de la nature , vous serez au bon endroit. Nous vous le recommandons.

A Magical Week
The entire duration of our stay was characterised by the peace tranquility and natural beauty of the Dordogne, and the friendliness and helpfulness of Paul and Sarah. The house was beautiful, secluded and quiet in its own grounds, the swimming pool was welcome in the afternoon heat, and the towns, villages and historic sites within easy reach of Veyrinnes made it the ideal location for a long or short getaway. Thank you Sarah and Paul...we will definitely be back!

Lovely gite, great location.
The gite is in a beautiful setting, down a very quiet country lane. It is well-equipped and has a lovely private swimming pool, which was great for cooling off in. We visited many lovely villages and towns. Sarlat, a large medieval town is 30 minutes away, very bustling, lots of lovely shops, cafes, restaurants & historical buildings. Beynac is 5-10 minutes away, a lovely village. Belves is 5-10 minutes too. Rocamadour is 25 minutes & beautiful with lots of lovely shops. Martel for a steam railway trip, La Roque Gagaec is gorgeous including a wooden boat trip (Gabrerre Norbert), the caves at Gouffre de Padriac are well worth a visit (includes a boat trip), Monpazier is 30 minutes away & has a huge market on a Thursday, there are also several local Chateaus to visit, hiring canoes along the river - there's so much to see & do!! The only thing missing at the gite - air conditioning - this would be fantastic as the heat made it extreme;y hot in the bedrooms.

A lovely gîte in a beautiful location
We had a great week here. The house is spacious, comfortable and well equipped. The pool, though chilly at first, was very welcome in the heat and is surrounded by mature trees which provide plenty of shade. Sarah and Paul,our hosts, were welcoming and informative. The house is situated down a quiet country lane about ten minutes drive from the nearest village which has a castle, several restaurants and a fabulous boulangerie pâtisserie. The area is brilliant with châteaux and beautiful villages within a short drive. Highly recommended and excellent value for money

Une semaine très sympa près de Castelnaud
Nous avons séjourné 1 semaine fin août avec nos enfants. La communication avec Sarah et Paul est facile et nous avons apprécié leur conseil. Le gîte est parfaitement bien placé pour rayonner dans la région en étant toutefois au calme. Tout y est. Propreté impeccable. Piscine peut-être un peu froide mais le temps n'était pas optimal. Un grand merci!

Formidable séjour
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour, accueillis magnifiquement par des hôtes au petits soins (mais très discrets). La maison est extrêmement agréable (et la literie très bonne), à l'écart des touristes de la région, et idéalement située pour visiter le coin. La piscine est un "plus" incontestable.

Very pretty and peaceful setting
The cottage is surrounded by trees and we were visited by, amongst other things, a young deer and a red squirrel. Inside was spotlessly clean and we had everything we needed. The owners, Sarah and Paul, were very friendly and kind, made sure we were comfortable and told us about the local area, market days etc. The cottage is ideally placed for trips out to the numerous chateaux, gardens, prehistoric caves, picturesque villages and other places of interest. One chateau is literally a few minutes down the road and the nearby Dordogne river offers beautiful views as well as canoe or boat trips. All in all, a lovely holiday destination.

Perfect cottage for a wonderful familiy vacation
My wife and I along with our 4-year-old daughter had an absolutely wonderful holiday stay at the La Lande cottage. The location was scenic and quiet - perfect for relaxing. At the same time we were not far from canoeing on the Dordogne river and many stunning villages such as Castelnaud and Beynac. The entire cottage was in tip-top shape. I was particularly impressed with the kitchen - it is nice to spend some dinners away from resturants and we had everything we needed for a few evenings of dining in. Although we have a small family, there is plenty of space for larger families in the cottage. While the house by itself was great, the owners Paul and Sarah ensured our entire vacation experience was perfect. This was our first visit to Dordogne and the owners offered great guidance to resturance and actitivies - especially geared to a great holiday with out young daughter. While I could say more great things, I will sum up by saying that we extending our holiday to spend more days at the cottage as we did not want to go home.

About the host

Hosted by Sarah Gallimore

Host profile image
We came over here with our two children and two cats, ten years ago to escape city life and experience a different culture.

Why they chose this property

We bought the cottage because of its wonderful countryside location. We can watch the wildlife whilst being only 10 minutes away from all the local restaurants and attractions.
