Thank you for a wonderful stay Philippe
It was a long planned family vacation and was everything we had hoped for. The house was lovely and centrally located for everything we wanted to do. Having dinner in the evenings on the patio was perfect. A very comfortable stay and would stay there again if in the area, would highly recommend it. Thank you Philippe.
superb stay
superbe sejour dans une tres belle maison. La propriete est tres bien entretenue, la maison a beaucoup de charme, tout est la pour passer de tres agreables vacances. Philippe, le proprietaire, s'est assured que notre sejour se soit deroule dans les meilleures conditions...Nous reviendrons dans cette maison avec plaisir. Nous reviendrons p
Beautiful house - decor quite rustic - in a quiet village with local restaurant.
Overall very charming. Many original features add to its character. Comfortable beds with good linen. Well-equipped kitchen - cooking utensils, cutlery, quality glassware and china. You will not run out of anything here. Air-con worked perfectly. Lots of hot water and good pressure in the shower. Top tip: let the owner know if you want the pool heating on when you arrive! Room to improve: bathroom towels - very small and only one each (Pool towels are provided. Would benefit from more shade and comfortable seating at the table on the terrace. Owner was kind and helpful.
Séjour fabuleux - Fabulous stay
Quelle magnifique maison! La beauté des vieilles pierres avec tout le confort desired dans un cadre sumptueux à l'abri des regards sans être iséolee. The pieces are very spacious and tastefully decorated. Philippe welcomed us warmly and responded très rapidement à toutes nos demandes. Nous avons apprècis l'environnement, le calme et la proximité de superbes sites. Idéal en famille et avec un petit bébé. All amenities are less than 15 minutes and all sites less than 30 minutes, restaurant 3 minutes. Nous avons passé un séjour fabuleux et nous recommandons fortement! What a magnificent house! The beauty of the old stones with all the desired comfort in a sumptuous setting, close to beautiful sites and very quiet environment! The rooms are very spacious and tastefully decorated. Philippe gave us a warm welcome and responded very quickly to all our requests. We appreciated the environment, the calm and the proximity of superb sites. All amenities within 15 minutes and all sites within 30 minutes, restaurant within 3 minutes. Ideal for families and with a small baby. We had a fabulous stay and highly recommend it!
Dordogne retreat
House was nice, but issues with AC and bathroom - 2 units were leaking from day one, then one en suite bathroom was not working from day 4 - owner came to fix leaking AC on day 4 - he offered a free week of the house in mid season but we could not use this so asked for some cash compensation, have at this point heard nothing back. Outside furniture is old and could be replaced, small touches missing - nothing for the pool eg pool toys, seats, beds etc we bought all and left at house - biggest issue for me is the house is not in Saint Julien decLampoon but further away from the village and river in the next Neighbor hood - the house is remote - local restaurant in village walking distance- do not expect a great smiley warm welcome if u do not speak French -
Beautiful house but beware
We loved the history and authenticity of this house. But it seemed like every day something went wrong. Owner was in Switzerland and so no one was there to welcome us and explain things. There was No info book describing how to use appliances, suggestions for where to eat etc. First night one shower flooded a bedroom. Owner fixed it late in the week and said the drain was clogged but we couldn't use the shower the whole time we were there. Description said air conditioners in every bedroom. This was not accurate. One bedroom had no AC and so the person in that room couldn't sleep there at night because it was too hot. . Couldn't get the dryer to work because the host didn't let us know we had to empty some water trap. In another shower the showerhead did not fit and kept falling off. Big rain storm and air conditioners in two bedrooms stopped working two days before the end of the trip. Air conditioner in one bedroom dripped water on head of bed. When we asked for a one day refund out of seven days because of all the problems, we were refused by the host saying He had to spend $900 to fix the air conditioners (The problem had nothing to do with us). The last two days were not hot but the house is very old and got warm but we could not use ACs. There was no air conditioner in the main rooms so we could not use them except at night. The host came back midweek. He tried to get the air conditioners fixed but no one was available. He was very nice until we asked for a one-day credit.
What a good moment!
Un grand merci à Mr Bappel. Nous avons passé un séjour très réussi. The house, very comfortable, was unanimously adopted. Nous nous sommes senti chez nous immediately. La région est splendide et nous nous sommes regalés de produits délicieux. Experience to renew in another season (pour la piscine). Thank you again.
We would love to come back!
Die gute Ausstattung des wunderschönen Haus, die Freundlichkeit und das Kimmern von Philippe, der große, sehr gepflegte Garten und die vielen schönen Details... Wir kommen gerne wieder!
