Relaxing stay near Brantôme
We had a very enjoyable and relaxing stay in this lovely gîte. Sandra and Alun gave us a very warm welcome and were very helpful on where to visit and recommendations on where to eat. The accommodation is very comfortable and we thoroughly enjoyed relaxing by and using the pool. We particularly enjoyed exploring Brantôme, Périgueux, Bourdeilles, the caves at Villars and the surrounding area. We highly recommend this gîte and would stay here again. Thank you Sandra and Alun

Very Relaxing Holiday
The property was as advertised, comfortable, quiet, and surrounded by beautiful countryside. There were some charming towns and villages to visit within a short drive. The pool was well maintained and inviting and used only by us. Sandra and Alun were very friendly and helpful.

Classic French with a pool in quiet location
Stayed for 2 weeks in this lovely apartment- part of a classic French property with a garden and private pool. Although secluded the property is less than 10 minutes drive to Brantome with its many good restaurants and market. Some fine walks in the local area as well. Our hosts, Sandra and Alun, were very helpful about places to visit and great company over a glass or two of wine. We cannot recommend this property or location highly enough.

Nice little quiet place to stay
Nicely secluded spot to spend a week or so. Sandra and Alun were always ready to help where required but did respect our privacy. The weather was not the warmest (average 22-23 degrees) but still had a great time. The week before was apparently late 30-40 degrees which would have been a struggle due to lack of air-conditioning.

Dordogne Adventure
A fantastic little gite in an ideal location where hosts Sandra and Alun couldn't do enough for us. Only a short distance from Brantome where you'll find a collection of bars and restaurants set upon the riverside. The pool is amazing with stunning views, what a find - thankyou.

Hôtes tres agreables
Le logement est vaste mais bas de plafond 1.90 la piscine est à l'usage exclusif des locataires avec une superbe vue. Les proprietaires sont charmants nous invitant accueillir les pêches du jardin le raisin cherchant toujours à faire plaisir. Sandra la propriétaire vient même changer le linge à la moitié du séjour la laverie de leur maison est accessible aux locataires seul problème est que le logement sent l'humidité. La piscine le jardin et le calme restent les atouts majeurs.

We had a fantastic time at the site. The house is very clean and has everything you need to have a comfortable stay. The bedroom stays cool on hot days. There is a big pool outside which is perfect on hot days. You can sit outside under the pergola next to the pool, where you have a beautiful view over the area. The holiday home is located on a hill (great view), close to a forest for nice walks. There is a château nearby where you can walk towards. Alun & Sandra are lovely people, they give you a warm welcome on arrival, They are always available for questions or for a little chat. Alun cleans the pool daily and Sandra makes sure you have plenty of fresh towels available. There is plenty to do in the area, Brantome is close by (5 minute drive) where there is a great bakery & 2 supermarkets. There is a nice market on Friday. There are plenty of château's in the area, you have very nice walks close by, you can also rent a canoe in brantome. We would highly recommend spending your holiday here!

With the thermometer nudging forty degrees the pool was delightful. So much so that we hardly ever left this lovely property and even stayed for a few extra days. Would highly recommend this gite. Alun and Sandra were good hosts, unobtrusive but friendly and helpful. Five stars all round.

About the host

Hosted by Alun Jones

Host profile image
Sandra & Alun Jones

We have lived here in France for 15 years and love the peace and quiet of our home which is situated in a small Hamlet of St Crepin de Richemont. We chose this place as we are 5 mins from the beautiful market town of Brantome, also called the Venice of the Perigord.
Brantome is a bustling little town throughout the season. We enjoy meeting our guests some of which
have come back over the years and we have formed
friendships and spent some delightful times sharing
a glass of wine and chatting about the area which is
truly beautiful.

Why they chose this property

We loved the house with the spectacular views and the peace and quiet of the area. There are beautiful little villages and towns to visit and the airports are
not too far away. Also there is no traffic to speak of and no pollution. Travelling around the Dordogne is so easy with good roads everywhere.

What makes this property unique

Our house suits us because it is divided into two apartments. We live in the larger one on the first floor and the smaller apartment is used for family and friends and our guests. That way everyone has their own space. We love sitting round the pool in summer and eating outside with the beautiful views and the fresh clean air.
We can walk directly into the woods and down into the main area of St Crepin de Richemont plus the Chateau de Richemont is 5 mins walk away.
