Perfect stay

We couldn't have asked for a better owner and property. The location was great; beautiful view, close to many of the places we wanted to visit. The gîte was immaculate, spacious, comfortable, well-stocked; it had everything we needed to feel at home. However, the best part of our stay was meeting Diane and Florette (Diane's dog). We felt very welcomed and at home, like we came to Carlucet to visit a friend. We have been renting vacation places for a long time and I would say that Diane is the friendliest and warmest owner we have met! She was always available, gave us great information, and shared her knowledge of the area. I highly recommend Diane's place to anyone who is looking to have a superb time in the Perigord area.

WE en pleine campagne en Dordogne

Beaucoup de belles visites à faire en Dordogne. Gite très agréable et au calme. Attention, l'annonce laisse penser que le gite est à Sarlat, mais il se situe en pleine campagne à plus de 20 minutes en voiture.

Idyllisches Landhaus

Das wunderschön gelegene Ferienhaus ist geschmackvoll und bequem eingerichtet und sehr sauber. Durch Klimaanlage, Heizung und Pelletofen ist es für heiße wie kalte Tage geeignet. Diane ist eine sympathische, nette und zuvorkommende Gastgeberin. Sie spricht neben Französisch auch Englisch (als Muttersprache), deshalb ist die Kommunikation auch ganz ohne Französischkenntnisse möglich. Da sie nebenan wohnt, kann sie bei Bedarf schnell in allen Belangen behilflich sein. Der kleine Weiler ist zauberhaft, mit Wanderwegen direkt vor der Haustür und einem IrishPub 2 Minuten zu Fuss. Der nächste Ort zum Einkaufen, Salignac, ist in 5 Minuten mit dem Auto erreicht. Ebenso ist die Lage für sehr viele Sehenswürdigkeiten perfekt. Eine optimale Mischung aus ruhig und zentral! Wir haben die Woche sehr genossen und empfehlen es gerne weiter. Nochmals vielen Dank, Diane, dass wir in deinem schönen Ferienhaus Urlaub machen durften...

Genial

Hemos estado una semana y nos ha encantado. La casa es preciosa, amplia y cómoda, y está en una zona muy tranquila por la que se pueden dar largos paseos y disfrutar del paisaje. A poca distancia en coche se pueden visitar castillos y otros lugares interesantes como Sarlat y refrescarse en lagos o el río Dordogne cuando hace calor. La dueña, Diane, encantadora. En resumen, una casa que merece la pena, muy recomendable.

Relaxing holidays in a lovely Gite

We enjoyed our stay in the lovely Gite very much. Diane is a perfect host and the Gite is best base for exciting trips to impressing sites and lovely places. No doubt, we will surely return someday.

Fabulous gite in a lovely location.

We enjoyed a great week in this lovely gite, well equipped and very comfortable. The location is beautifully rural, yet convenient to Sarlat and so many things to do. Local shops etc only a short drive. Also the wonderful Black Duck restaurant a two minute walk away. Spending a peaceful evening sitting outside the gite was idyllic and so very relaxing. The added bonus was the wonderful host Diane (and Florette) next door. Whilst being unobtrusive she was friendly, great chat and eager to help in anyway. We will definitely return.

Lovely quiet spot from which to explore the area.

Delighted with the property, it comes complete with everything you could possibly need. It is situated in a lovely sunny, shelterd spot. Diane is very welcoming and is next door should you require anything, but is not intrusive. Floret, her dog is an absolute treasure, and was a bonus for us, as we had left our dog back in the UK. A gentle stroll down the lane brings you to the Black Duck, a French Irish pub/resturant, great food and atmosphere. Would recommend this gite to anyone.

Heerlijk vakantiehuis van alle gemakken voorzien!!

Wat een heerlijk vakantiehuis! Schitterend gelegen vlak naast een mooi oud kerkje. Het huis heeft alles wat je nodig hebt en is een prima uitvalsbasis voor veel leuke uitstapjes in de Dordogne. We werden hartelijk verwelkomd door Diane en haar lieve hond Florette. Mede door dit warme welkom voelden we ons er meteen thuis! Kortom: zeker een aanrader!!!

Lovely gite and helpful owner!

We had a great time in this lovely rural setting. It's in easy reach of the lake, cycling from Sarlat and Canoing on the dordogne. lovely meal up the road in the Black Duck. We managed a little sight seeing too as much as can be expected with young boys but they had plenty to do and the gite has wifi to dvd etc which was handy while we prepared food etc. thanks Diane for all your help and such a warm welcome!

An excellent gite in a wonderful setting

The property was in an excellent setting, peaceful, easy for going on walks, it was spotless and there was everything you required for a homeaway holiday especially when you are travelling on your own or family. The host was excellent, very caring and knowledgeable of the area. I loved the church bells and there was a restaurant nearby with excellent food. You do need a car for the area. I would recommend this gite .

Don't Tell Everyone How Good this Place is.

We had a wonderful holiday in the le manor du Carlucet. It's a perfect combination of a well equipped and functional accommodation and a location that is tranquil, peaceful and spiritually uplifting. The added bonus is having Diane and her very friendly dog florette living next door. We will be going back. Just don't tell everyone how good it is.

Prima verblijf!

Wij hebben twee weken doorgebracht in deze mooie vakantie woning. Alles wat we nodig hadden was aanwezig en meer (boeken engels, spelletjes). Wij vonden de woning erg gezellig. Om het huis was er veel ruimte om lekker te zitten. Het huis is erg rustig gelegen. In de omgeving hebben we ons goed vermaakt De eigenares is zeer vriendelijk. Zeker een aanrader.

Charming, Clean, and Comfortable

This is an absolutely wonderful property and Diane is so accommodating. The location was great, away from it all in the countryside, yet a very short drive to many sites. A friend and I stayed there for a week while exploring historic sites and caves of the Dordogne region. The amenities of the gite were perfect. We were able to relax in the evenings, make meals if we wanted, and even able to do laundry. Would highly recommend this property and it's wonderful owner!

Superbe gîte au calme

Le gîte est idéalement situé pour découvrir la région, que nous ne connaissions pas. L'environnement est agréable, très calme, et offre une vue magnifique, tout en restant à deux pas des commerces de proximité. Il est très bien équipé, et vous pouvez compter sur l'adorable propriétaire pour vous donner de précieux conseils sur les endroits à visiter et vous aider à régler les petits soucis du quotidien. Nous le recommandons vivement!

Perfect in Every Way - Even for Singles

My teen daughter and I stayed at this gite in July – the weather was variable but we had a fabulous time. The gite is rural, overlooking farmland, isolated from tourist traffic, and free from noise and activity – but still, not at all lonely. As a single woman, I am always concerned about feeling vulnerable and this is the perfect solution. The windows and doors are substantial; you can park within a foot of the front door if you like; and, despite the feeling of total privacy, there are other individuals living within calling distance. This, plus convenient access to the sights, and activities of the area, makes it the perfect place to stay. The gite itself is light and airy with clean lines and attractive, comfortable, furniture. It’s well laid out with lovely views from upstairs. The bath, a large, clean, stone room has an open shower enclosure with excellent hot water and great water pressure. The washing machine works well, as does everything else. There is a terrace for sunning and barbecuing and a large gravel courtyard with cheerful flowers. Should you get beyond the pleasures of eating and drinking, there are books and games, WIFI, and even a large television – happily from our point of view, not very obvious. The hamlet in which the gite resides, is composed of honey colored buildings, some originating from the 13th century. In fact, the gite itself has been rebuilt from the remains of a stone shed, its terrace formed by an ancient wall and gate. It’s truly magical. The only noises to be heard are the hourly bells of the nearby church and myriad birds trilling from morning to night. The air smells sweet. The night is dark and peaceful and the stars are bright. A restaurant with a lovely terrace and good food is only three minutes away by foot. The nearest small town can be reached in 5 minutes by car - post office, general store, Marie (with fast computers and printer), and a few cafes, plus a weekly market and a night market where you can dine at large tables with the locals. Both Sarlat and Montignac, major tourist centers, are only ½ an hour away, to say nothing of the many smaller but delightful towns in between and beyond. Diane the owner, is nearby but essentially invisible unless you need her. She’s an absolutely charming young woman - feisty, helpful, and fun. Her friendly dog languishes at the barrier, longing to visit and you can pet her if you like. This is a wonderful place. We plan to return soon.

Perfect Stay!

We stayed at this great gite with our 10 month old son and were extremely lucky with the weather. It was so hot the week we stayed however the gite was lovely and cool. The place was exactly what we wanted. Rustic from the outside and modern inside. There was plenty of room for us. An open plan living area with large kitchen, dining area and cozy lounge. There was a lovely secluded BBQ area outside which was a great sun trap! The gite was situated in a beautifully quiet hamlet with only a handful of other properties nearby. There was even a great pub/restaurant a 2 minute walk away. We ate at The Black Duck twice as it was so good. There are local shops and a small supermarket in the nearby town which was only a 5 minute drive. We could easily drive from the property to all the places we wanted to visit in the Dordogne. Caves, lakes, chateaux's and beautiful gardens are everywhere! The owner, Diane, was extremely helpful and couldn't have done more for us. Thank you so much. We would love to return in the future. We had a great relaxing week staying here. Highly recommended.

Picturesque escape

The Manoir de Carlucet was everything and more. The property was clean & well maintained and contained everything we needed. A relaxing and peaceful atmosphere meets you as you put the key in the door and there was a little welcome tray in the kitchen. We arrived late in the day and the owner of the property could not have been more helpful, organising a table at 'The Black Duck' for us - a friendly pub just 2 minutes walk from the Gite with a beautiful menu and plenty of choice. The owner is just next door & on hand should you need anything. Would we recommend this place to friends & family? - of course but we'd rather keep this treasure to ourselves!! We're definitely going back!

Absolutely lovely Gite in a perfect location!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Manoir de Carlucet. The Gite is set in stunning countryside just a short drive from Salignac (a car is a must). The hamlet is very peaceful. A two minute walk away is The Black Duck, a charming pub and restaurant serving lovely food. The Gite itself was perfect - bright and spacious with a fresh, modern feel. Diane the owner was very helpful but never intrusive. The location is perfect, Salignac (5 mins away by car) has shops and a lovely cafe in the square, which is great for a meal or just drinks. Salignac also has a supermarket. On the outskirts of Sarlat there is a huge supermarket (Carrefour) which has everything you could possibly ever need! The Gite is within half an hour of lots of interesting places; Sarlat, Castlenaud, La Roque Gageac, Domme, Beynac et Cazenac, Jardins d' Eyrignac and Tamniès which has a fantastic little beach with a lifeguard and the lake is brilliant for kids to splash about in and also great for adults wishing to swim. 45 mins away is La Roque St Christophe and Rocamadour is about 1 hour away - both are well worth a visit. We cannot recommend the Gite or the surrounding area highly enough!

About the host

Hosted by Diane

I am Diane and I live in a thirteenth century Manor house with my beautiful, affectionate and friendly border collie, Florette.

I am originally from the North-West of England, but I’ve been living and working in various countries and in France since 2000.

After seven years of giving English lessons to students at the University of La Rochelle, I decided that my heart belonged to the French countryside, and so began my long search for a traditional French house with character, history and charm. I finally moved to Le Manoir in Carlucet in 2007.

Why they chose this property

I have been very lucky to have lived and worked in some stunning places around the world, including Canada, the USA, Australia and the Republic of Ireland, and my aim has always been to restore an old house, using its history to renovate with the utmost integrity. I am now the proud owner of a fully-restored thirteenth century Manoir, complete with original medieval beams, original stone walls created using wattle and daub, enormous fire-places and a vaulted cellar.
The gite is located within the grounds of the medieval Manoir, yet is totally independent, and enjoys the same spectacular views of the valley. The gite is accessed via two medieval stone towers at the entrance. I

What makes this property unique

The gite is in a small hamlet, surrounded by fields and is calm and tranquil. However, the unique feature is that there is a pub/restaurant just a two minute walk from the gite which serves food typical of the area - so, after travelling to get here, you can relax in the restaurant.
