About this country house rental
La Roche nestles in the beautiful countryside of the southern Dordogne, between Bergerac and the exquisite medieval bastide of Eymet. The 1-acre garden contains a 12x6m private pool with diving depth. A further 9 acres belong to the house, and there are open fields beyond. The white stone farmhouse dates from about 1860 and has been sympathetically and tastefully restored to a luxury level, whilst retaining exposed beams and stonework and other traditional features.
Downstairs: Entrance hall with view to upper level; Kitchen with hand-crafted limed oak units, hob, oven, microwave, fridge/freezer & dishwasher; Lounge; 3rd Bedroom; Utility area, with toilet, washing machine & tumble dryer; Bathroom with basin, corner bath & shower.
Upstairs: Gallery overlooking hall; two Bedrooms with a/c and en suite bathrooms, second Lounge also with a/c.
Garden: Superb views over rolling countryside; Tables & chairs to front & rear of house; BBQ; table tennis; children’s swing & slide.
Security: As ours is a very rural location, we have security cameras around the outside of the house in case of a problem such as a break-in. We follow the Vrbo policy on this, and have made sure that the camera at the rear of the house doesn't cover any part of the pool area.
Travel - Flying: Ryanair and British Airways serve Bergerac (just 10 miles away) from various airports around the UK.
Both airlines also fly to other airports in south-west France.
There are several car hire companies at Bergerac airport.
Travel - Driving: The journey can be done in a day from Calais, Boulogne or other ports, or you might have a more leisurely start to your holiday with an overnight stop, perhaps on the Loire - we can give you details of places we've stayed in, if you wish. We'll include full driving instructions with our booking confirmation letter.
Climate: The area has a temperate climate, and usually enjoys relatively mild winters with long spring and autumn seasons. The summers here can be very hot - ideal for sun lovers.
Should you wish to discuss your holiday requirements or travel arrangements, or find out more about the house, please send us a message via Vrbo.

We have just returned from a brilliant couple of weeks at La Roche. The house and setting is lovely and so peaceful. We loved sitting in the garden or by the pool and listening to the birds. The house itself sleeps 8 and upstairs is a/c which was a relief from the 34 degree heat. Pool was clean and large enough for all the kids to play. Nearby to Bergerac with lots of easily reached day trips. Would definitely return.

We had a lovely week at la Roche! We particularly loved the pool for the kids, the multiple seating options, and the air con upstairs (although to be honest, even the non-air con rooms stayed relatively cool despite mid 30s temps). We found it very well equipped and clean, and so peaceful! Jenny was great to communicate with and happy to help with specific requests for cots, check out times etc. You definitely need a car to get around but it’s an easy 2 min drive to a bakery in Singleyrac (and a small playground for kids), and an easy 10 to a supermarket and the town of Eymet. Cabs are not that easy to come by if you need them so be sure to book ahead (we used taxi Eymetois a couple of times). Thanks Jenny and Tim!

The rural setting was perfect - so peaceful - just what we needed. A soaring buzzard and a few tiny lizards in the garden were the only regular visitors 😂!!
We loved the house and it was very well equipped, especially in the kitchen with lots of thoughtful touches. The pool is fabulous - a really good size. As it’s not heated, it maybe a tad brisk on cooler days but great as the weather heats up. There were all sorts of games available- including a table tennis table, badminton and a football - all great to keep family entertained on relaxing days by the pool.
The upstairs rooms are all beautifully done and very spacious. The large lounge is great for relaxing and watching TV together after a long day out. Downstairs has a more traditional toilet and bathroom and also has a nice updated and spacious bedroom similar to the upstairs ones.
Jenny is a lovely host and was very helpful and quick to respond to all my emails. The Welcome pack was very well out together and had a lots of useful info for our stay.
We specifically chose the rural location for the tranquility and we were not disappointed. There is beautiful surrounding countryside with sunflower fields and vineyards. Bergerac airport, town and supermarket are all within 20-25mins which is great.
Some of the places we wanted to visit (Rocamadour, Padirac caves, Sarlat) were 2-3hrs by car but well worth a visit.
Overall, we had a fabulous holiday and would love to go back again as La Roche is a real gem.
