La Ferme du Fournil

Thank-you so much for sharing your glorious home, gardens and pool with us. It has given us the opportunity to spend valuable time with our family. Everyone had a wonderful time and the children (& adults) particularly enjoyed the pool. The 'pool Olympics' became a daily ritual. We loved the wildlife + nature around us + the younger children enjoyed learning about the insects that visited. We would love to come again.

Loved this place so much in 2017 we went back for a second visit in 2018, for a glorious two weeks this time. It is the most spectacular place we have ever stayed in. Every morning we awoke excited to discover new wildlife and drink in the spectacular views. This year we saw deer outside our bedroom, wild boar drinking at the pond and the fervent activity of a family of jays. Thanks to a heat wave we spent long lingering days next to the pool but did manage time canoeing on the Dordorgne (using Canoe Raid in Siorac) and a visit to the Chateau in Castelnaud la Chapelle. We will return.

It is difficult to know where to start with listing what is special about this place… there are the superb verandas where we often sat and ate supper; the breakfast room was a real favourite, with its constant bird activity (we saw a black woodpecker, redstarts and a flurry of tits); the superb kitchen which was a pleasure to cook in; the gorgeous bedrooms, ours with its own courtyard; and we all loved the pool, and the pond was a complete delight, with frogs, fish and a snake! We wished for another week or two here as it felt so comfortable but so special too.

Ever been to a place that's so nice you dont want tell anyone so that you can go back easily?? Thanks Stephen and Sawdays for a truly wonderful holiday. The Simply Perigord Staff were really helpful and quick to respond. A wonderful farmhouse feel with big grounds so we had the joy of Dordogne weather but with shade if needed. Lovely balcony at the back of the house and just really nice features all round. Ive never been back to the same Gite on holiday - I think this may be the first exception! Best wishes, Peter & Nicky

Disturbed a wild boar in the wood. The house was magical. We did manage to have 3 frogs & a stoat in the spotless pool which was a bit of fun!

Loved the trees in the garden. Enchanting house and gardens.

What a fun house! We are still finding things hiding in the garden. The house and garden are so lovely that we hardly went anywhere else. I would recommend this house for a magical family holiday for all ages.
