About this house rental
Welcome to *Taire du Grel, Gites de Vacances*
LES HIRONDELLES GITE...
The peaceful, one storey gîte 'Les Hirondelles' is surrounded by lawns and fruit trees, with views of the forest covered valley. The wood clad building was inspired by the old tobacco barns in the region, and is closely situated to the pool and play area. Its terrace overlooks the orchard, with garden furniture and a BBQ, with lawns beyond for relaxing, playing and picnicking.
Enter from the terrace through patio doors into a large kitchen / diner / lounge. The open space has a bright and fresh atmosphere, while the beams and wood-burning stove make it cosy for a winter getaway.
The hallway leads to...
A tiled bathroom with shower, sink and WC.
A twin bedroom (2 beds 90x190).
A double bedroom (1 bed 140x190).
A double bedroom (1 bed 140x190) with an attached bathroom (shower, sink and toilet). The patio doors from this bedroom also lead to the terrace.
There is a welcome booklet in the gite full of information on nearby attractions and activities.
Free Wifi, Android TV, English TV, French TV, games, books, DVD player and films.
Towels and sheets provided. Pets welcome on request.
Cot & high chair available on request.
SHARED SPACES
The large swimming pool is surrounded with sun loungers and parasols and overlooks numerous lawns and fruit trees.
The play area includes swings, a tire monster, a large trampoline with enclosure, badminton and a ping-pong table. Ball games are permitted on the larger fields behind the property.
Off road parking is available, and a laundry room.
LOCATION...
The cottage is set in a quiet off road location, just outside of the hill top Bastille town of Domme, and 15 minutes from the medieval city of Sarlat.
The centre of Domme is just a 15-20 minute walk from the gites, or 3 minutes by car, where you will find numerous bars, restaurants, tourist shops, cafes, patisserie, a Casino Contact (grocers), a cash machine, and a post office.
Domme is a tourist attraction in itself, being officially classed as one of 'the most beautiful villages of France'. It offers a magnificent 180 degree view point across the Dordogne valley, a stalactite cave system with a glass lift looking out over the river, tours of the medieval gate towers which imprisoned the Knights Templars, and beautiful public gardens and footpaths around the ancient town walls.
THE AREA...
Nestled at the heart of the Dordogne, the scenic views are breath-taking, and the magnificent architecture documents the area's fascinating history, with a chateau around almost every corner.
Nearby attractions include sites officially listed as 'The most beautiful villages of France' including the historic towns of Domme, Sarlat, La Roque Gageac built into the cliffs, Castelnaud, Beynac, and the beautiful gardens of Marqueyssac... And much more, all within a 20 minute drive!
Fantastic onsite and nearby activities (within 15 mins): Canoeing, kayaking, climbing, walking, high ropes, via ferrata, pleasure boats, paint balling, fishing, golf, hot air balloons, cycling, tennis.

We enjoyed a wonderful stay at Taire du Grel! The gite is very comfortable with ample seating space and a well equipped kitchen. Our boys particularly enjoyed the pool and the trampoline!

Taire du grel gave me and friends the perfect opportunity to relax, enjoy the tranquil surroundings, have the holiday we wanted and most of all the time together to appreciate what a beautiful setting le grel is. The gite was spotless, the whole area was well maintained and was very inviting! Ben and Maria were exceptional in their customer service, so easy to book and communicate with them to been taxied around for canoeing and a night out at dinner. The local restaurants and all the activities we encountered were great, we found no fault. I would 100% recommend this to my friends and family, I now know I'll never go on a package holiday again, taire du grel all the way!! Thank you for a most memorable holiday.
