8 / 10Excellent·Sep 2024
This is a large property split over several floors with lots of stairs. Would suit a family group well.
The pros:
Excellent location for accessing the medieval old town of Gourdon with a path up hill through the garden straight to a passage way that leads up into the old town lanes.
Delicious plums in the orchard.
Good size pool for swimming and playing in.
Parking right beside the house.
Large lounge area with lots of books and games.
Utility room with washing machine etc.
The cons:
The swimming pool is not actually beside the house but is instead in the garden of the owner's house which means you have to walk a short distance through the owner's garden to the pool.
There is a main kitchen on the middle floor and a kitchenette on the ground floor - both are pretty basic.
The outside BBQ/Eating area is accessed through one of the ground floor bedrooms or via the front door.
It is quite noisy with traffic noise from the nearby roads.
The owner lives next door, so you do feel a little under their watch as they go about their day-to-day activities.

An excellent 3 weeks in a beautiful part of the country. We were greeted by the lovely Karine and given the guided tour, no small matter as the extensive accommodation was spread over 3 floors( I recommend the top floor suite with balcony). Despite visiting in early September we were able to use the excellent pool every day as temperatures ranged from the mid 20s to early 30s.
The extensive grounds were perfect for playing with our border collie and one of the outbuildings housed a full sized table tennis table.
The property is well placed for trips into the surrounding countryside and yet a few steps through the orchard brought us up onto the main drag of Gourdon, a lovely mediaeval town built into the hillside.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this property, it’s 2 kitchens, 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms were far more than we required, however, a larger party could be comfortably accommodated.
A repeat booking is a distinct possibility.

We were a family of 8 with ages from 2 to 89 and we had a fantastic 2 weeks in this perfect property. There is plenty of room over 3 floors for either spending time together or some quiet time alone. The property has great facilities, with the pool and large gardens being of great use in the recent very hot spell. The town was at the end of the garden and gave great opportunity for getting fresh bread everyday within a 5 minute walk away and also access to shops and restaurants.
The house is very well equipped with plenty of towels, bed linen, kitchen gadgets and a washing machine if needed.
We have a very enjoyable holiday at this house and the location and surrounding areas. We recommend this beautiful property without hesitation.

We were delighted to spend a week in this beautiful house. It really combines the best of both worlds, having an interesting town literally at the end of the garden, as well as being on the edge of the magnificent countryside in the other direction.
The house is well equipped and we lacked for nothing, having plenty of towels, bed linen, kitchen gadgets, a laundry room and even books to read everywhere!
The swimming pool has stupendous views over the countryside in one direction and the church in the other. An added benefit is the privacy of the pool area.
We spent happy days mooching around the house and garden, swimming, sunbathing and playing table tennis. On other days we visited the nearby swimming lake, which is picturesque and sociable. The town of Gourdon is really lovely, with lots of bars and restaurants, as well as a Saturday market and occasional night market. The owner is friendly and knowledgeable about the area and can offer lots of advice regarding local events. We recommend this beautiful property without hesitation and wished we had booked a fortnight as there was so much more in the area we didn't have time to discover!
