Maison

Première impression bonne ,terrain agréable petit coin extérieur joli mais la maison est moyenne le ménage n’était pas bien fait insectes morts sur plan de travail de la cuisine,toiles d’araignée dans tous les coins de toutes les pièces au plafond avec les araignées qui vont avec.Invasion de blattes dans la cuisine le mercredi matin quand je me suis levée.Literie de mauvaise qualité matelas tout mou,armoire de la chambre qui tient à peine debout du coup les vêtements sont restés dans la valise et l’armoire de l’autre chambre sentait le renfermé donc pas mieux. En ce qui concerne le salon les chaises ne sont pas adaptées à la table qui est trop basse du coup du mal à mettre les jambes ,un canapé clic clac pas top et le deuxième canapé a du faire son temps car quand vous vous installez vous vous enfoncez.Manque de confort général mobilier trop bas de gamme.Nous avons laissé la maison fermer car la semaine où nous sommes parti c’était la canicule donc nous voulions garder la fraîcheur et la nuit nous ne comprenions pas pourquoi les moustiques nous attaquaient alors que tout était fermé en fait à bien y regarder il y a un jour sur certaines fenêtres du coup les moustiques nous avaient pour cible autant dire que les nuits étaient courtes. Les plus la piscine et la région et les propriétaires sont gentils mais la maison a besoin d’être améliorée,sans parler des poignées de portes qui ne tiennent pas et que je me suis pris sur le pied,la balançoire est en triste état.

Fijne vakantiewoning

Deze fijne vakantiewoning ligt op 10 minuten rijden van Sarlat, een mooie middeleeuwse stad met veel terrasjes en restaurantjes, mooie panden en authentieke smalle straatjes. Het vrijstaande vakantiehuis is goed bereikbaar, heeft een volledig afgesloten, grote tuin met een eigen zwembad. De Engelse eigenaren wonen in de buurt, zijn heerlijk relaxed en willen heel graag dat je het als vakantieganger goed naar het zin hebt in hun woning. Je mag alles gebruiken wat er staat, van fietsen tot tafeltennistafel en speelgoed voor de kinderen. Zelf waren wij met 4 volwassenen en 2 honden die vrij konden rondlopen in de tuin. Een bakker voor heerlijk vers brood is op een paar minuten afstand met de auto maar daarvoor kun je ook 1 van de fietsen pakken. Kortom een heerlijk rustig plekje om vakantie te vieren.

Perfecte uitvalsbasis

Het huisje is verouderd maar netjes. Alles is voorhanden. De eigenaars zijn super vriendelijke en bereidwillige mensen. Het is de ideale locatie om de Perigord Noir te verkennen.

Top!!

A nice cottage, detached, in a quiet neighbourhood. Although the home interior is somewhat dated, everything is there. The garden is huge with a nice pool. The porch is really lovely. There is a playground for children. Even bikes are available. Sights are nearby (Sarlat, Rocamadour, Beynac, Domme). The owners are very friendly and helpful. We really had a good time here!

About the host

Hosted by Paula & Barry Grainger

Originally from Ireland, we moved lock, stock and barrel in 2005 selling up our business and taking the plunge to this stunning region and have never looked back, especially as this has been a wonderful area to bring up our son and with easy flights back to Ireland and to the UK we can still keep in touch with our friends and family...

Why they chose this property

We kept passing this cottage on our search for our own house... We knew that we wanted to run a holiday home and after staying in a few holiday homes ourselves had a good idea what we were looking for.. we knew we wanted the property to have an enclosed garden, to be on one level so small children and guests with mobility problems had easy access, to have off street parking, a view of the countryside and to be near to our favourite medieval town of Sarlat. After giving all these details to our estate agent, she pulled out the details of ' Le Pouget'... the house that we kept passing... so of course we had to take a proper look... this is when we fell in love with the cottage and could see the potential for a relaxing atmosphere for adults and a safe, fun environment for children and the added bonus of being a stones throw from our favourite medieval town..

What makes this property unique

Location, Location, Location... not only is the cottage surrounded by countryside but only a stone's throw from all the fantastic sights of the Perigord noir ...After refurbishing our cottage and landscaping the garden we could sit back and relax and enjoy the view of the countryside and could just imagine waking up and opening the French doors from the lounge to enjoy breakfast on the terrace or listening to the birds and watching the wildlife while enjoying a glass of that our son was having as much fun as we were in the enclosed garden. One of our favourite things is sitting outside in the garden on a balmy and clear Summers night when the stars are so close it feels like you can touch them... very romantic...
