Croix Petite : Keeps Getting Better!
We're repeat visitors! Loved the house in 2022 and we decided to do it again. The owners have updated the decor and added new appliances, which made our recent stay even better than our first. And the location is ideal for exploring the Dorgogne region.

An excellent stay. The house was very nice. Extremely spacious and a lovely quiet location. Pool was great to swim and sit by. Terrace outside the house is also a nice place to sit and relax. Host was very helpful and immediately and efficiently dealt with an issue that arose at the house during our stay. Would very much recommend the property and we hope to be back sometime.

Relaxing stay in wonderful old farmhouse.
We (8 adults) were very comfortable in this characterful and very well-equipped home. The house is secluded with delightful views, has a great terrace for relaxed meals, a good-sized pool with plenty of sun loungers. Sleeping and bathroom arrangements worked very well - plenty of room for all, and the massive kitchen and lounge accommodated us all very comfortably. Lots of games provided for inside and outdoors. Excellent communication from the host prior to arrival, plus a generous arrival hamper and courtesy contact during our stay. Well located for visits to bastide towns, canoeing, wine-tasting, etc.. We loved it.

A rural idyll
We had a great stay at La Croix Petite to get the family all together to celebrate Steve’s upcoming 70th birthday! We love the Dordogne, having spent many holidays in the area before but the location was perfect for river activities, markets, chateaux and castles. The house, gardens and pool are fantastic and a quick easy drive for essentials and pleasure activities. The kitchen is so well equipped and our family bbq using both gas and charcoal bbqs was a great success. La Croix Petite really was perfect for what we wanted - watching the hot air balloons coming across the bottom of the valley was an added bonus. Little did we know that we’d be having a flight too later in our stay! Thanks David, and also to Toni and Mark who looked after us so well - brilliant people to have around! Local knowledge like where to get a Guinness or to watch rugby union was very welcome!

A lovely house in a great location
A huge old farmhouse which has been modernised and made very comfortable. It's quiet and secluded, but within walking distance of a boulangerie and a few km drive from excellent supermarkets in Sarlat. The house, especially the kitchen, is equipped with everything you could need and there are there are lots of games and books. The spring weather in the Dordogne has been dreadful this year and our week at the end of May was surprisingly cold but the pool was inviting and warm enough for the younger members of our party to swim. There is so much to do in the area - caves, velotrain, zipwires, chateaux, gardens, canoes, etc etc - something for all ages. We would love to go back!

Good house near Sarlat
Four of us stayed in this home (2 couples) and the two "wings" gave us nice privacy with the roomy modern kitchen in the middle. Really enjoyed the sparkling clean pool and two outside eating areas (offering shade or sun). Well appointed with coffee makers, market bags, loads of kitchen and dishware, an extra refrigerator (very handy!), and a smart TV in the Lounge area. Owner very responsive to questions and queries! Note that it is a bit of a remote location, about 3 miles outside Sarlat (you could not walk there - definitely need a car.)

Cozy house and a beautiful garden
We spent two great weeks in Davids house and really enjoyed our stay. We cooked a lot of delicious meals in the large and well equipped kitchen, watched movies in the cozy living room or played cards on the terrace surrounded by a wonderful garden. The first week the weather was unfortunately often a little too cold for the pool, but the second we also had some great time there relaxing and playing table tennis. The house offers plenty of space for all kinds of activities and there are also many exciting things to discover in the beautiful area - caves, markets and of course the impressive Dordogne. We are already looking forward to our visit next year :)

Beautiful Home in the Country
The home has an authentic feel and experience. The kitchen was big and well equipped. The beds were comfortable and it was great to have 4 bedrooms and bathrooms. That is rare in this area. The living room was great and first time we've had comfortable furniture in France! We loved the location however the house is very difficult to find and to get in and out of the driveway onto the D25. The shrubbery needs to be cut back, to enjoy the view of the hot air balloons, launching every morning and afternoon. We loved eating outdoors together and the table and chairs were great and comfortable. Curtains on the windows or screens would be nice since we had issues when it was hot with large insects coming in the bedrooms at night. The bathrooms needed a good scrubbing initially. The pool was not heated at all. David, the owner, was very helpful when issues arose. The property manager never responded to my text or phone message.

Gros potentiel
Séjour agréable, nous avons passé une bonne semaine. Quelques améliorations secondaires permettraient de transformer ce séjour en très agréable et même parfait : - maison pour 3 couples + 2 enfants et non pour 4 couples - 1 eclairage pour la table de la terrasse cuisine - 1 éclairage pour le barbecue - revoir les interrupteurs ( certains ne fonctionnent pas, d’autres sont placés en dépit du bon sens etc … - installer des prises près des miroirs dans les salles de bains. - déplacer l’alarme incendie qui se déclenche chaque fois que l’on utilise le grille pain !!!! - quelques lampes autour de la piscine - revoir l’éclairage de la descente à la piscine avec un va et vient départ arrivée - le salon séjour est très grand et l’été on ne l’utilise pas. Vous pourriez aisément sans gros investissements installer une 5eme chambre au fond avec salle de bain sous l’escalier. - et puis tous les français ne parlent et ne lisent pas l’anglais donc il serait courtois de rédiger vos explications sur internet et sur votre cahier d.accueil en français AUSSI

Beautiful house with nice gardens
We travelled as two families with four children in total to the Perigord. The house is located almost in the middle if all sites to be visited in this beautiful area. As a summary it is well equipped and we thoroughly enjoyed the stay. It was a great pleasure to show our friends around and they enjoyed waht we love about the region. David was always at hand when information was needed. We will for sure be back.

Sejour en famille à St André Allas.
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour, en famille avec nos enfants et petits enfants. La maison est très grande et très bien équipée. Chaque chambre dispose de sa salle de bain (même si celle de la petite chambre n' y est pas directement attachée). La piscine, en contre-bas est bien grande et très bien exposée. Le gérant, Steve, est très disponible et intervient rapidement si nécessaire. Seul petit souçi : il n' est pas très à l' aise en Français (-:). Et que dire de la région : splendide. La maison est entourée de sites remarquables (Lascaux, Beynac, Sarlat, Castelnaud, Rocamadour, ...) et de superbes restaurants représentatifs de la cuisine du Périgord. Vraiment à recommander.

Brilliant time at Croix Petite
We visited from N England and had a brilliant time at Croix Petite. Everything was as expected with no unpleasant surprises. The house is in a great position, facing south, with views over a valley. It’s very well maintained with fantastic gardens and loads of space for the kids in the woods and a big field below the house. The pool had just been renovated and was brand new when we arrived, larger than most holiday houses and super clean. It’s all very tranquil, and about 5-10mins drive from Sarlat so if you’re looking for party central nightlife it’s probably not ideal! We’re looking forward to returning.

Delightful stay at this location
All our family from Amsterdam and London met here for a wonderful week together. The facilities were as described with clear instructions on use and what was expected on departure. David the owner, was always extremely helpful with any questions and responded quickly. No negatives other than it could have been clearer on the website that additional charges were made for linen, which would be necessary for most U.K. visitors. Many thanks for proving a great villa for our family holiday.

About the host

Hosted by David Jones

Host profile image
Self-confessed Francophiles, we bought Croix Petite in 2015 after two years of research and viewing more than 30 properties.

We love the house, and we love the local area. If we weren't gainfully employed we'd be there now :)

Luckily we have wonderful property caretakers Jo and Will who look after the house, and the wonderful people who come and stay in it, for us.

Why they chose this property

Why this property?

S P A C E !

Croix Petite is actually two stone houses that had been joined together with a new kitchen. The result is nearly 300 square metres of space, with two wings each with two bedrooms and bathrooms, large landings and a huge lounge, plus games room. Only one bedroom isn't en suite, and that one has it's own bathroom.

Because of the two wings it would be quite possible for two families to stay in the house and not hear each other!

Outside there's 5 acres - a wood to lose yourself in, and a heated pool to relax in, private and not overlooked. Walnut trees, too. There are loads of footpaths nearby and very good cycling, on and off road, for reasonably fit riders.

There's a very authentic tabac a hundred metres away, for an end-of-day pastis. Robert, the owner, farms the fields at the bottom of the valley by the house. On Sunday evenings a little pizza van is stationed here - great for a lazy evening meal.

300m in the other direction is a great boulangerie.

Peace, space and tranquility in the heart of the Dordogne.

What makes this property unique

We're extremely lucky to have local property managers, who look after the property and know it well. They will be on-hand for advice or help during your stay.

Beynac Chateau is just 6km, and the Dordogne river too.

The Dordogne is great for boat trips plus canoeing and kayaking.

Beynac is one of the most beautiful villages in France. The chateau is open to the public, and the area is saturated with amazing castles and chateau.

Les Eyzies is 12km away, with the famous pre-historic caves.

Sarlat la Caneda is just 6km away with all the restaurants and supermarkets you could wish for, but don't forget the local boulangerie just 300m away from the house.
