Le Noyer - at Manoir Bourgale, central Dordogne, 50 acre private park.

The grounds of the (in part) 13th century manor house extend over many acres providing visitors with a variety of environments to relax in. Sunbeds by the pool, deckchairs in the garden, outside dining tables or shaded relaxed seating. - Just take your pick. Good weather will allow you to make use of the gas BBQ as you prepare food bought in one of the many markets held in the beautiful local towns and villages. Of course there's no end of good restaurants to choose from in the region of you don't fancy doing your own catering. So laze around, explore or swim and canoe in the rivers. You can't go wrong. Thoroughly recommend.

We had a wonderful time. Pool, grounds and house maintained to a v high standard. Kind and charming hosts. Thank you!

We had a wonderful stay at Bourgale. Clean, modern and well equipped accommodation, friendly and helpful hosts, and a perfect location for our family to explore the area. Highly recommend and hope to return one day!

David, Katie and family gave us the warmest of welcomes at their beautiful home in Villefranche-du-Perigord. The house and surrounding land was so picturesque that it is hard to put it into words. You have to see it for yourself to truly appreciate the peace, serenity and beauty of the place. The garden was so pretty and the house had everything we needed, from a lovely tree swing for our daughter, to deckchairs and chilled bubbles in the fridge on our arrival. The house was fantastically equipped with a super cot for our youngest, games, dvds and bags of information on things to do in the local area. Everything was clean and extremely well maintained - we couldn’t have asked for more! There was plenty of outside seating for a shady lunch as well as a beautiful canopied area for sundowners in the evening, where you could while away the hours looking at the fabulous fields and flowers and listening to the gentle buzz of the bees and sound of the cicadas - pure heaven!!! The gas barbecue was brilliant and made cooking delicious meats from the local butcher each evening a very simple task!! The swimming pool was excellent - a fabulous size and depth for young and old alike to enjoy. There was a great set of inflatables and pool toys and the sun loungers were really comfortable. David and Katie really go above and beyond to make you feel welcome here and we loved every moment of our stay. The children loved exploring the fields and the woods, playing in the lovely lawned area in front of the house and visiting the geese and the chickens each morning. This truly is a place of paradise where you could quite happily spend a whole week relaxing by the pool or alternatively visiting the beautiful bastides, caves and villages in the surrounding area. Rural France at its best with the most wonderfully kind, friendly and welcoming family in this, the most beautiful of homes. Thank you for one of the best holidays we’ve ever had as a family David, Katie and family and hope to see you again!!!
