Pardaillan cottage in the countryside between Eymet and Duras, sleeps 2

Great time, lovely pool and superb location. Yvonne and Paul really looked after us and we’re very helpful when we needed to do testing before return to Uk.

We had a lovely holiday at Les Costes cottage. The cottage was very cozy and had everything we needed for our stay. Our hosts were great! Really welcoming and helpful. The settings were beautiful! We loved the animals there, and our little baby loved the rescue donkeys. We would strongly recommend Les Costes and we look forward to visiting again. :)

There are plenty of places to visit locally either by trying some of the well-mapped walks or using your own transport or borrowing one of Yvonne and Paul's bikes. Situated right in the heart of the Duras wine region with lots of tasty cheeses and freshly made bread also available, it's very easy to try a different combination every day! Paul and Yvonne are always available but never intrude and they can provide the information you need to make your stay as relaxing or as adventurous as you want. I'd definitely recommend this lovely gite.

We have just returned home after a relaxing fortnight in this lovely cottage in a truly wonderful corner of France. The cottage itself is spacious, homely and is supplied with everything you could need to make yourself feel at home, including a great selection of books, DVD's and a TV with all British channels - not that we took advantage of that, as there was so much to explore! The cottage is in a private rural location, and in the first week we spent a lot of time sunning ourselves and reading books on the front veranda, as well as using the great swimming pool and exploring the area. Although the weather was cooler and a tad rainy in the second week, the area itself is so rich with historical bastide towns, small villages and things to see and do, that weather becomes a secondary issue. We particularly loved Bergerac, St Emilion, Eymet and Monteton, although we also spent a lot of time just driving and stopping off wherever we saw something interesting - there is a lot to be discovered! Many thanks to Yvonne and Paul for being so welcoming and brilliant hosts in every way. A special mention also goes to the donkeys, the cats and the chickens - for animal lovers like us it was brilliant to have them around, further enriching the experience for us. We could not recommend this cottage highly enough and hope to return some day soon with more stories, even more carrots and to stock up at Berticot!
