The Experience

Come as a six and take both floors, or just the upstairs (both bedrooms with air conditioning) if there’s only four of you. You enter via an external staircase which leads onto a large balcony with a dining area – lovely to eat out here admiring the gorgeous green views. Stroll down to your own pool for a dip, read on the covered terrace, cook in the outdoor kitchen or on the barbecue. There are lawns to wander, a Prunus avenue with chairs in the shade and views beyond over woodland and meadows.

On cooler days you’ll be quite happy indoors with a good selection of books, lots of games and comfy seating. White walls, lots of light and contemporary furniture give a bright, summery feel. A big island in the kitchen is the hub and you’ll find basics plus a bottle of wine waiting for you – in season you’re offered walnuts from the owners’ trees.

Bikes can be delivered to the door, yoga can be organised, you can play boules, croquet and soft archery.

Reviews

A haven of peace and beauty in which to relax by the pool, lie in a hammock beneath a veteran tree or indulge in a gentle game of croquet, unless a burst of energy takes you outside to the medieval castles and villages that line the Dordogne, just five minutes away. Especially impressed by the attention to detail: flowers, external blinds to the windows, and links to the local community.
Inspected Patricia Sawday's Inspector

Gemma, Wimborne, Dorset.

We arrived at Domaine de la Banne on a very hot day to be greeted by Neil and David with a cool glass of wine. That set the way for what was to become the most wonderful weeks holiday. As a family of 5 (including our adult children and partner) this beautiful, clean, well-maintained and very spacious barn and Chamber d'hote was the perfect mix of relaxation and fun, as well as being really well placed to visit all the beautiful villages in the surrounding area. Great communication throughout, and extremely helpful. We could not recommend it highly enough.


Doreen, Preston

Domaine de la Banne exceeded our expectations. The gîte was beautifully presented, spotlessly clean, and very well equipped, providing everything needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The air-conditioned bedrooms were especially welcome during the summer heat, and the private pool was a fantastic bonus. Neil and David were exceptional hosts—friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. Their hospitality made our holiday even more enjoyable. We highly recommend Domaine de la Banne to anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful place to stay in the Dordogne. We would gladly return.


Paul, Leyland

We recently spent a week at the le Domaine delivery la Banne in Sagelat at the foot on the medieval town of Belves. The property is exceptionally well located in a secluded spot with terrific views. The gite is presented to a very high standard just as it is represented in the marketing material. We stayed for a week and hired a car. The surrounding area has many attractions and activities. The fixings and furnishings are to the highest standard and the large outdoor pool and recreational area equally as impressive. During our stay, we visited local markets, chateaus, the belves night market


Andrew, London/Cincinnati

Domaine de la Banne was recommended to us by a good friend as THE place to stay in Sagelat. It did not disappoint. Large kitchen, dining area and living room. The kitchen was fully equipped (and I mean fully!) The bedrooms were larger than my flat in London. And my personal favorite was the shower...it was hard to take a short shower! My only regret is that we were there in December and did not have the opportunity to try to pools. If you like peace and quiet in the country with all of the amenities, you cannot go wrong with Domaine de la Banne


Location

The neighbourhood

There are wonderful medieval villages and towns to explore, markets to buy local produce, châteaux to admire and history to soak up, all within easy reach. Hire bikes and explore the tiny village, which does have a bakery. Find cycle tracks, waymarked walks, the river Dordogne just 5kms away at Siorac-en-Périgord for launching canoes or paddle boards.

Local points of interest from Neil Walker

  • Enjoy a pleasant, 25 minute walk through country lanes, passing Sagelat’s 12th century church, up to the medieval village of Belvès with its restaurants, café-bars and weekly Saturday morning market.
  • Easy access to many châteaux and gardens, each with their own unique history and heritage, including Château des Milandes once owned by the famous jazz singer, Josephine Baker and Jardins de Marqueyssac famed for its overhanging gardens and box hedges.
  • An unforgettable experience is a flight in a hot air balloon taking in the full grandeur of the Dordogne valley and river. See the architectural and breathtaking landscapes from an entirely different perspective.
  • Cycling enthusiasts can hire bikes for collection or delivery from a company based in Castelnaud-la-Chapelle with a discount given to our guests. For walkers there are many great routes on the doorstep taking you through stunning woodlands and countryside.
  • Enjoy a delicious meat or cheese platter (or both) at Planches et Plonk wine bar in Belvès as featured in Channel 4's 'A New Life In The Sun’. They do takeaway platters too!
  • Stroll around Sarlat's bustling market only 40 minutes away, discovering fresh local produce and delicacies to give you a taste of French life.

Introducing

Neil Walker

Neil and David live on the other side of the courtyard. They fell in love with the Dordogne on a holiday then launched themselves into this new venture. David does the overall design work while Neil focuses on the detail. Together they make sure that all is well thought out and you are looked after beautifully - they are very happy to chat and give tips or just leave you to get on with things.
