Dordogne Farmhouse with Large Private Pool

We picked this farmhouse due to the close proximity to our family. What we found was an amazing place! Full of character and full of a family warm feel. It’s an old building so not perfect but was perfect for us. The owner and property manager were fantastic and dealt with our every request. The property is well equipped with everything you could need. As it is winter we didn’t have use of the pool but in summer I could see this place would be even better. Would definitely book again.

A beautiful and very spacious old farmhouse, carefully restored and extremely well-equipped. There were six adults and two children of 6 and 2 in our party, and everyone had a wonderful time.It is obvious that the owners have spent much time and money ensuring that all the facilities - and particularly the fabulous pool - are of the best quality. It feels like a home rather than a holiday house - and despite temperatures up to 40degrees, the thick walls and many fans kept most of us cool. Maybe the top bedrooms not quite so much - but then, it was a heatwave!

A wonderful holiday in an exceptional house!The house itself is a huge renovated farmhouse, full of character. It has all the amenities you could wish for and, thanks to its thick stone walls, stayed cool inside even during a heat wave. The extensive grounds have fruit trees galore, and the huge swimming pool has an impressively well-equipped pool house. Despite the large size of the pool, the temperature stayed at a constant 26-27 degrees, more so than other pools we have known before.The only thing I would advise people to be aware of is that the ground floor of the house is not all on one flat level. There are only 2 or 3 steps up and down to the ground floor bedroom and utility room, so not a problem for most people, but something to the aware of for any people who are slightly less mobile.

We enjoyed a 2 week stay at the farmhouse for the last 2 weeks of August. The highlight for us was the fantastic pool, a great size and a decent depth. There was enough sun loungers and umbrellas for all 9 of us which was great. The pool house was very handy, especially for storing our ice creams and waters! There was also a Bluetooth speaker so we could enjoy some music around the pool. The farmhouse itself is a good size, plenty of room for all 9 of us and a dog! 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. Nice sized communal areas for dinner and games. All 9 of us sat round the dining table with plenty of room. The grounds are overgrown compared to the pictures but I believe this is due to their lawnmower breaking so couldn’t be helped, however 2 members of my family are disabled and it was quite difficult for them to get around. If you are afraid of wasps please be aware that on the hot days there are lots of them about! Also would recommend packing some mosquito spray as plenty of those around too! The farmhouse is a short drive to the intermarche and some local restaurants. Also a very close drive to the local vet ‘Clinique Veterinaire Vallee de l’Isle’ if you are taking your dog and need to get the worming tablet before going home. Overall we would recommend the farmhouse if you are looking for a very relaxing break with a fantastic pool.
