Summary of reviewsOutstanding property with spacious rooms, beautiful garden, and excellent amenities for families and children. Tracy, the host, was exceptionally helpful and accommodating, ensuring a memorable and relaxing stay.
8 / 10Excellent·Sep 2025
A very fully equipped country house with surrounding terraces and seating areas that can comfortably accommodate 10 people. The owner lives nearby and is not only very friendly but also very helpful when asked. In the bedrooms, with the number of 3 sockets per bedroom is a bit limited and three double beds are only 140 cm wide, where nowadays 160 cm is more or less the standard. As 5 couples, we really enjoyed our week and used more or less all the amenities such as the heated pool during the day and the wood-burning stove in the evening, and say a big thank you to the owner Tracey for all of that !!!

10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2025
We had a fabulous week at Le Peyrat. It was a perfect place for a family reunion. Tracy, our host gave us a wonderful greeting and was always available to make sure everything was just right for us. She worked extremely hard to keep the pool clean and topped up in the hot weather and the grounds looking tidy and well kept. She was very polite, friendly and very respectful without being intrusive. The house was very comfortable, clean and well equipped. There were plenty of toys and games for the children to play with inside and out, including a wonderful treehouse and of course, the swimming pool which was essential given the extremely hot weather.There were several different seating areas outside all of which were beautifully furnished. Marc a local chef , cooked us a delicious meal one night which was a real treat. We would definitely recommend Le Peyrat as the perfect place for a large family get together.
5 / 10·Sep 2021
All went super well and uncomplicated. Although Tracy could not receive us due to a family urgency she had someone waiting for us to hand over the keys and explain everything. The house is huge and because we were only five we had a lot of room and each of us could withdraw and do his / her own thing if needed. The many bathrooms were a peace guarantee! Our toy poodle Lorenzo enjoyed the huge garden. It must have felt like he had entire France for himself. We had Tracy’s chef, Marc, come twice and cook dinner for us and chat with us. We totally recommend it! We should have booked two weeks instead of just one to enjoy more of the house and the region.
