A property oozing with character and charm .

Wonderful hosts. Property only 2km from the centre-ville of Duras with proximity to many historical villages, bastides and castles of this beautiful region of France. Very spacious with tasteful furniture and excellently appointed. Charming patio in a large private garden.

Perfectly Situated for your Dordogne Holiday

Perfectly charming French farmhouse vibe. The owners are kind and thoughtful. When we mentioned a desire for morning coffee, they went out and bought a new coffeemaker for our use. Comfortable beds in the home, which is well equipped with linens and other items to make your stay a pleasant one. Convenient to a grocery store which has everything one might need. We enjoyed our stay!

Un oasis de saleté...

Un séjour qui s'annonçait agréable, calme et reposant... mais c'était sans compter les 2h de ménages à l'arrivée dans la maison pour nous permettre de juste poser quelques affaires pour vivre. Que la maison ne soit pas brillante de propreté à l'arrivée, pas de souci, c'est une maison en campagne, donc les toiles d'araignées c'est tout à fait normal. Mais par contre devoir nettoyer les réfrigérateurs car ils n'ont pas dûs être nettoyés depuis de nombreux mois, la vaisselle à relaver, les miettes sur la table, la poussière et saletés diverses en abondance par terre par contre ce n'est clairement pas normal. Les toilettes qui n'ont pas été nettoyées avec des traces douteuses sur l'ensemble du pied, le mobilier très sale dans la salle de bain et dans toutes les pièces... franchement un abus. Nous avons comprit pourquoi le prix était aussi "bas" pour un plein mois d'août. Les draps et serviettes de bain étaient propres, pas de souci. Enfin concernant le calme, le jardin est très agréable mais collé à une route tout de même "assez" passante, mais pas un réel problème. Bref, un stop de 4j décevant que je ne recommande clairement pas. Si les propriétaires avaient fait le travail de ménage il aurait prit une toute autre valeur. Déçu !

About the host

Hosted by Hiram E Warren

We are an American/British couple who live in Oxford city centre, but love France and the French way of life. We spend as much time at our home in France as we can; however I am still working for the NHS and can't get away as much as I would like. My CP, Stephen, is a retired NHS property consultant/surveyor. Our dream is to be able to afford to retire to France (both of us) someday. Stephen can be in France much more often than I can, so he will be the on-site manager when we have guests. We love our little bit of ''heaven on Earth'' and hope that our guests will also.

Why they chose this property

We searched most of Western France for nearly 10 years before settling on the Lot-et-Garonne department. We like the mild(ish) winters and the long, hot summers of the area. Our house is rural,but not isolated. We are only 2 km from Duras, on the D668 which is a well-traveled link road from Duras to Miramont de Guyenne. Bergerac airport is approximately 45 minutes away and Bordeaux is just over an hour away by car. The area has many vineyards and fruit orchards.
