Lovely Dordogne Holiday Cottages with Shared Pool near Sarlat ~ The Cottage Reviews

We have just returned from two weeks in The Cottage and had such a fantastic time that on our last day we booked again for a three-week stay next June. We love the Dordogne and have had several very enjoyable holidays in the area but finding this place has really put the icing on the cake!. It is fabulous, the accommodation is extremely clean and comfortable and is very well equipped, the private outside area is perfect for sitting out and for eating, with a beautifully scented honeysuckle and a lovely shady Indian Bean tree. The lawned area is huge and well maintained and the pool is lovely with ample loungers and umbrellas for everyone staying.

However what really sets La Ferme de la Tour apart are the superb views, mile upon mile of the most glorious countryside which can be appreciated and enjoyed not only from outside but also from the living room of The Cottage and, more particularly, from the bedroom. it was amazing to wake up to such an incredibly stunning and picturesque view, especially on a lovely sunny morning.

We do a lot of walking and there are so many great walking routes right on the doorstep we were spoiled for choice, although it was also most tempting to stay put and take advantage of the peace and quiet or cool down in the pool which also benefits from the pretty views.

Chris and Kate the owners are so friendly and helpful, the information and recommendations provided are very useful and they are justifiably proud of the amazing work they have carried out at the property since buying 15 years ago, including renovating the existing farmhouse accommodation and converting two barns. Chris showed us round the other gites and it is clear that all the work has been done very sympathetically and to a really high standard, there are lovely touches and well thought out individual features throughout.

We are so glad we chose to holiday here and cannot wait to go back!
