Sarlat City Center: The Rock House (4–6 people)

Fabulous location in very easy walking distance to the centre of Sarlat. Whilst the property has no onsite parking, there is plenty of free parking just a couple of minutes walk away but there is also a much closer space to load and unload your vehicle on your arrival and departure which is very useful. The house was very well equipped with everything we needed. The house really is charming and unique. There is a lovely little outside area next to the third bedroom (which is an annexe accessible from the main house by a little door and had its own bathroom).Communications right from my initial enquiry with the host, Sandrine were great. Responses and additional information that we requested was sent very quickly and lots of additional useful and detailed information was shared in the final days before we arrived. We enjoyed our stay very much.

The house is very nice; however, it would not be suitable for someone with mobility issues due to the steps and stairs inside the house as well as a narrow staircase. The location is excellent; it is a few minutes walk from the medieval city centre. On the departure day, we met 3 women who asked us for help looking for the house at number 15, and after a while, we realised they were coming to clean the house we were living (number 7). They had the wrong house number. We showed them the property, where the external key box and the internal key box were as well as the cleaning products; they had no idea were things were. Consequently, we left 20 minutes late and I received a quite unpleasant email from the owner due to this slight delay. This was the only downside of the stay. The plus side was the lovely cat who visited every day.

Mosquitoes were waiting for us when we opened the door, we were all bitten ! When inquired, owner told us mosquitoes are rare in Sarlat, guess we were very unlucky. But that really spoiled our stay since we lit mosquito coils & sprayed repellent whenever we're in the house, almost fumigated ourselves. Listing should indicate the 2nd bathroom & third bedroom are in an annex, one has to duck head & leave the main house to get there. We understand we had to bring personal supplies but this is the 1st bnb that we stayed in without dish washing & laundry detergent & garbage bags. Location is good though.
