Chestnut Cottage

Wonderful hosts - Harris and Victoria made us feel most welcome and provided lots of useful advice about local amenities, restaurants and markets. The house has all the facilities that you need and one of the best swimming pools we have ever had in a holiday rental.

Chestnut Cottage is a delightful find in the heart of Dordogne. Completely remote and peaceful, but not too far from all that the area has to offer. The cottage keeps lovely and cool, due to being made of stone, the lounge is really comfy with lovely large sofas. The kitchen is really well equipped, if you love to cook, you will be in your element. Outside, there is a terrace, dining table & chairs with an electric canopy for when it gets too hot. The swimming pool is huge, lots of loungers and chairs, not to mention darts, table football & table tennis. Huge grounds too wander in too!

Much like your favourite beach, or restaurant, where you are reluctant to tell too many people lest it get 'found out' and mobbed, booked up, the talk of the sun loungers; I am vexed at sharing too much. Chestnut Cottage is a gem. Well appointed, tranquil, surrounded by nature with a pool to dream of in winter months. And Harris and Victoria are terrific. I'll stop there, it really is that good.

Chestnut Cottage is an absolutely wonderful find, secluded but also conveniently close to lots of small villages and the picturesque Les Eyzies which boasts many restaurants. The house itself is an original stone building with thick stone walls which keep it cool even when it is very hot outside. The facilities are modern and convenient. The pool is absolutely fantastic, it is large and kept at a constant very pleasant temperature. The owners, whose house is next door, are delightful - extremely helpful but not intrusive. Highly recommended!
