Award-winning Holiday Farmhouse in Verteillac, Perigord Vert, Dordogne Reviews

Home from home- but better!


This was a wonderful place to stay. We were a group of two families, including 5 children aged 2 to 9. La Cotte is so spacious and well equipped that we never felt on top of each other. It is secluded and private. The children loved the beautiful pool (and with a safety fence so did the parents!) and there was so much space for them to run around in. My 9 year old son set up his portable football goal in the garden behind the house and got lost there for hours each day! The house itself has every single thing you could ever need, even a pot big enough for me to cook Beef Bourguignon for 9 on the last evening! The village of Verteillac is close enough for a croissant breakfast run each morning (and worth it!) and is beautiful as are the nearby towns of Brantome, Bourdeilles and Aubeterre. However, it is was difficult prising the children (and husbands!) away from the pool and the garden and the table tennis to get them to go anywhere. The owners are lovely and the wealth of information that they provided was very much appreciated. We didn't want to leave. We will be back!
