The Experience

Bowl along the Payrac road, through hilly wooded countryside – hardly a car to be seen. Wash up in Serres, a lovely little hamlet of stone houses whose steep slate roofs are tiled like scales. La Grange, part barn, part house, on split levels, was renovated some years ago by its English owners, and fused into one airy, spacious whole. Enter a sunny oak-fitted kitchen with two check-clothed tables, one large, one small; hard to believe the animals once lived here, now the beams are painted white and the door opens to a terrace for al fresco meals. Up the oak staircase is a lovely large sitting room, full of comfort and light. Bedroom walls are of mellow pale stone, curtains are linen, rugs ethnic, wardrobes new pine, bathrooms white-tiled and capacious. Although toddlers must be watched outside, La Grange is pretty much perfect for family hols: all thoughtfully furnished yet nothing too precious, and a heated pool in the garden with loungers and gorgeous views. Dine out in pretty Gourdon, then venture beyond: to Domme, Sarlat, the caves of Padirac and the wall paintings of Peche Merle.

Reviews

La Grange at Serres is a spacious, beautifully converted farmhouse in expansive grounds and with a lovely swimming pool. Every aspect of the house is at the highest standard. Serres is a delightful hamlet deep in the countryside and a couple of miles from the village of Payrac which has an excellent restaurant - Le Sechoir - as well as a good pizzeria. The house is within a few miles of two towns - Soulliac and Gourdon - both well worth visiting, as well as wonderful Rocamadour. The situation of the house is so peaceful and the views delightful. We really recommend this property.

Peter & Nerys, Neath Port Talbot

Second year in a row a La Grange and it did not disappoint. Absolutely loved it. The pool is really fantastic and ideal for kids. The surrounding area has so much to do and visit within a 40 min drive and yet you have all the peace in the world in a fantastic house which enjoys being quiet but yet close enough to the local village for daily connections. House is superbly fitted out, very spacious. The local contact (in times of need) is brilliant. You will not regret going here. We loved it.

John, Cork

We had a fantastic family holiday here. A beautiful house and grounds with a lovely pool was perfect, lots of space but cosy too. Location was great with lots of interesting markets, towns and the Dordogne river all a short drive away. Highly recommended.

Michelle and John, Yateley

We had such an amazing time and La Grange, the house has everything you need, also it is easy to keep cool especially when the heat outside hit 40C, the pool was amazing and heated, the kids loved the many hours we spent there but equally, so many activities to do within 30 mins driving, ideal location. The owners really did a superb job on the development, so many lovely walks nearby and the locals of Payrac are so nice and so understanding for my bad pronouncing french. Ideal house for a family of 1 with 4 or a family of 3 with 4 (12pps), so much room and space. Highly recommend.

John, Cork, Ireland

Originally booked in 2019, we finally got there in 2022 and it was well worth the wait! To have a proper family holiday abroad after 3 years was perfect! Beautiful gite, location, heated pool and totally relaxing atmosphere! We visited Sarlat on market day, Château Fenelon, Rocamadour and the stunning caves at Gouffres de Padirac. Would certainly recommend a stay here!

Julie, Woburn

We spent a wonderful couple of weeks at La Grange. The house is beautiful, comfortable and well equipped. The pool is in a lovely sunny position. Stunning countryside and nearby Sarlat, Rocamadour, Domme, Padirac caves, various chateaux all well worth a visit. Very friendly and accommodating hosts. Would highly recommend.

Tamzin, Saffron Walden

If you have ever dreamt of owning a home in France then this would be it. Everything promised by the pictures and detail but also so much more. Perfect for our 2 families with children aged 8 to 15. Easy to deal with owner and lovely local housekeeper. Starlit night skies amazing. Pool perfect. Would highly recommend.

Christine, Market Drayton

Beautiful clean, fully equipped house in peaceful, picturesque surroundings. Excellent swimming pool, ample sun loungers and outdoor furniture. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the week went too quickly.

Ian, Kirdford, West Sussex

We had a lovely stay, the house has been restored beautifully and the pool is a delight. The surrounding towns and villages are a must see.

DUNCAN, West Lavington, Midhurst

A stunning child-friendly house with a beautiful pool and surrounding gardens. Extremely clean and tidy. Thank you for a wonderful holiday!

Alice, London

Beautiful house, clean, well maintained, wonderful grounds, fantastic views, peaceful surroundings. 5 *!

Laura, Bournemouth

We had a superb stay at La Grange, the house was extremely comfortable, tastefully decorated and well equipped. We received a very warm welcome from Jackie and we spent two weeks of blissful sunshine lounging by the gorgeous pool followed by delicious BBQs in the evening. Great local cycling, especially along the shaded cycle track to Sarlat, and spent a fun day kayaking along the river to the Roque Gageac. Highly recommended!

Kirsty, Gloucester

Excellent stay in this superbly renovated barn, situated in a very quiet little hamlet. The house is very spacious, the bedrooms are very stylish and the heated pool is extremely pleasant, not to mention the beautiful region it is located in. I really recommend it.

Anne-Sophie, Aydat

The property was lovely with plenty of room. Well appointed with support close by if needed. I would recommend the gite to future holidaymakers without question.

Richard, Pott Row , Norfolk

We have just spent 3 fantastic weeks at La Grange. It is a stunning property in a good location. The children (9 and 6) did not want to leave the fabulous pool (it IS heated - put in this year) all holiday. Plenty of space to lounge about in the shade and a lovely dining area. The interior of the house is exceptional - best combination of bedrooms, showers, kitchen and living room that we can remember in a villa. Everything is extremely comfortable and well thought through. We will no doubt return.

Tom, London

A wonderful family home . Our family of 8 gathered together to Celebrate my husbands 70th birthday . The photographs dont do this beautiful house justice. Garden and pool so relaxing . Loved all the lavender !! Would come back !!

Gráinne, Co Armagh N. Ireland

We spent a week at La Grange in Serres in late May 2016. We needed a bigger place because we wanted as many members of our family as possible to join us for that time. It is a beautiful home, well equipped and very comfortable, without any doubt the very best accommodation we had anywhere during our four weeks in France. We felt privileged to be able to stay there. It is truly a lovely place, easy to get to, and close to many beautiful places. Our week there was the highlight of our trip.

Mark, Pretoria

This is a fantastic house with plenty of space both inside (as well as quiet bedrooms for children away from living area) and outside. Brian was very helpful in booking our trip and the house is ideally placed to enjoy the Dordogne and surrounding region. Would definitely go again!

Tim

A very comfortable and well equipped home from home set in a beautiful part of France. There is so much to do in the locality.

val

Amazing place! The house has clearly been lovingly restored and makes the perfect home from home to explore the Dordogne and Lot regions. The weather was beautiful and the house was perfect for lazing by the pool and long evening barbeques. The house is located in beautiful countryside and we enjoyed lots of lovely walks around the vicinity as well as visting as many of the regions sites as we could fit in. The local village is charming with a perfect little French market and a couple of local restuarants for the nights we didn't want to cook. Would love to come back. Thank you.

Location

The neighbourhood

Local points of interest from Brian Lever

  • The region is full of medieval towns to explore, some close by include Gourdon, Souillac, Sarlat, Rocamadour, Martel and Domme with its magnificent views.
  • You can saunter through traditional french markets, we recommend those in Souillac, Gourdon or Sarlat.
  • The river Dordogne, groups and families will have fantastic fun spending the day canoeing or kayaking lazily downstream.
  • Day trips spent visiting caves, underground rivers, castles and magnificent gardens are a treat for adults and children alike. There is even a working 14th century watermill close by.
  • There’s a whole range of wonderful restaurants where you can sample the regional delicacies.
  • For those wanting to travel way back in time, visit the prehistoric cave paintings at Lascaux and Peche Merle.
