We stayed at Meynardie and had a fabulous time. The property is a converted barn that sleeps 8 with ease and is very spacious inside. Being made with very thick walls it is also very cool which with outside temperatures on 34 degrees when we were there made for very comfortable living. The pool has been recently refurbished and has lovely views and a shaded area should you wish to escape the sun.

The village of Siorac de Riberac is a tiny Gem and the Restaurant well worth a visit, and they will also do your bread and croissants on request. You are about 10 km away from Riberac which has a number of restaurants and Supermarkets, and we found it a great base for touring the area.

The Hosts were extremely welcoming and the holiday very relaxing and so quiet.

We first came 4 years ago and loved everything about this property, so we came back for exactly the same two weeks - coinciding with the local village fete - 4 days of celebrations and activities from fireworks to brocante, crepes to bumper cars, something for everyone as our party spanned three generations from 7 to 80.

The house and grounds are superb, lovely spacious rooms with a fantastic verandah linking everything together and a wonderful place to enjoy al fresco dining whatever the weather. The pool is stunning and a very peaceful spot to while away the hours.

The nearby lake at Jemaye is a great spot for a change of scene, a sandy beach with cordoned off swimming area, water sports and a couple of cafes and bistro plus lots of shade and waterside walks.

We ate fantastically at Le Donzac in the neighbouring village of St Sulpice de Roumagnac, a simple but very French restaurant, and for a more elegant meal try Hostellerie Les Griffons at Bourdeilles (on the way to Brantome). The local village restaurant Le Lavoir is also worth a try and a particularly lovely place to sit. The owner at Le Lavoir is most kind and helpful, sorting our breakfast orders for the fortnight and generally just looking after us whenever we visited.

Our hosts, Judith and Nigel, could not have been more helpful in making our stay comfortable. Nothing seemed too much trouble and they really helped make our holiday relaxing.

Simply wonderful.

My husband and I needed to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life and we chose 'Kabarole' in the south of france as the perfect destination. We were indeed refeshed when we finally left. Accomodation is excellent, clean and well maintained and the surroundings are magnificent. We went out for long walks and the peace and quiet is exactly what we needed.

The hosts were very pleasant and made our stay so pleasurable we decided we would visit kabarole on a yearly basis.

I have in turn recommended it to all my friends.

We spent a week at the property in August 2007. It was idyllic. Judith and Nigel were extremely warm and welcoming and an invaluable source of local information. The house was spaceous, spotless and extremely comfortable with all the amenities we needed. The kitchen was very well equipped and user friendly wihch meant that cooking, far from being a necessary chore, became an enjoyable and integral part of the holiday, especially with the abundance of local produce. The markets in the area are wonderful, not just for food but for a whole range of local arts and crafts. We visitied the small restaurant in the picturesque village a couple of times during the week. The food was excellent and the atmosphere friendly and understated. It is well worth a visit and the short walk back is ideal for clearing the head after several bottles of wine to accompany the meal.

There is plently to do and see in the local area, especially for families. Canoeing, horse-riding and visting local vinyards being among the activities available. The children, more often than not, were happy to spend the day by the pool or exploring the local area with the help of Max, Judith and Nigel's friendly dog who was as good as any tour guide of the village.

I would recommend this property to anyone, families in particular. We had such an enjoyable week last year that we are returning this summer.
