Ratings and reviews
Summary of reviewsThe house and garden are pure heaven with stunning views and many amenities. The kitchen is superbly stocked, and the pool is divine. Excellent communication with the owner. Highly recommended!
10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2025
Perfect place to relax and spend quality time with the family. Spacious interior and exterior, with many places to relax outside. We enjoy cooking and used the well equipped kitchen and bbq a lot. Due to mistake in the app, the house was mistakenly advertised with a charging point for electrical cars. When we realized the error, Fabienne immediately fixed it by installing a charger. Ultimate service.In short, if you plan to stay in this region, look no further

What a delightful house, owned by a delightful lady. We have been renting in the Dordogne area for over 10 yrs and this property was probably the best we have ever found.Fabienne had curated the most detailed pre-visit pack we had ever come across. Her attention to detail was far beyond what we had encountered in previous holidays.We arrived during a heatwave which was difficult but tolerable (although that would have occurred wherever had stayed). Once it had calmed down it was glorious. Great pool, great views, great holiday. Thank you!

This beautiful home was as described. The owner was so very helpful as was the onsite manager. The living quarters were well appointed and very comfortable. The grounds were relaxing and well maintained. This is a 10 out of 10 and we will visit again.

We were all delighted with our holiday at this excellent property in the Dordogne. The accommodation was great for the six of us and would easily house 8 people. It was spacious, cool when it was very hot outside and very well appointed. It had everything that you might need and the kitchen was particularly well equipped. We made maximum use of the beautiful pool which definitely benefitted from being heated. The constant 28º C was a delight for the children and adults alike. There was plenty of outside shade and the umbrellas around the pool and the house were a definite bonus as the weather was sunny and very warm for the whole of the 2 weeks that we were at Le Pigeonnier at the end of June. We all enjoyed the various seating areas which maximised the use of either sun or shade depending on the time of day. We particularly liked sitting looking at the distant view each evening with a cool drink, guessing how many hot air balloons we might see in the distance! Quite a bit of wildlife to keep us all alert too. Numerous birds including treecreepers and hoopoes; red squirrels, deer, hare in the garden and many chickens, goats, dogs and cats, frogs etc in the neighbouring farm. Plenty to keep the children interested! The nearby villages were exciting to explore and a delight for the occasional coffee and lunch. Shopping for essentials was very easy and the information in the house directed us to the best supermarkets and boulangeries. Shops in Daglan were close. The Pilo in Cénac was excellent for a vast range of breads and unbelievable cakes and pastries. We visited most of the small and larger markets in the area, all listed in the house book, each had it’s own particular benefit. The Truffle Market in Daglan proved very interesting and obviously focused on local summer truffles. We found leaving early for the market in Sarlat was good advice from David the pool cleaner. We missed all the traffic into Sarlat and found parking easy. Get there by 9.00 am if you can and enjoy breakfast in the square!The owner, Fabienne, was extremely friendly throughout the booking process, while we were at the property and following our return to the UK. She couldn’t have been more helpful. We had a wonderful time at Le Pigeonnier and would highly recommend it to our friends and family.
