Good Points: Gorgeously renovated and spacious accommodations, excellent location for exploring Les Eyzies, le Bugue, Sarlat and Lascaux. Well off the road, secluded, prettily landscaped and utterly tranquil.
Ideal for stressed or adventurous adults who wish to enjoy the Dordogne area and come back to a splendid country setting with caring but never intrusive hosts. Delightful fellow guests, who were repeat customers. Ample breakfast with croissants, pastries, baguette, jams, sweet butter, cereals, fresh fruits, yoghurt's. Excellent coffee! Incomparable hosts.
Bad Points: Not suitable for children. Car essential, since there is no country transport system.
General comments: I was really queasy about having booked this B&B after i read the review in this forum. We were most pleasantly surprised- the best hosts we encountered- during our three-week tour of the Dordogne-thoughtful, kind, well-informed and unfailingly hospitable, They plied us with pots of afternoon tea and invited us for after-dinner guest gatherings, during which the wine flowed freely, compliments of our host.
I asked to borrow an iron, and returned from breakfast to find it and a set-up board waiting in our large and beautiful room. Comfortable bed, good towels, terrific armoire.
The pool is attractively sited, with plenty of lounge chairs. We were offered to bring me a glass of white wine, and a complimentary bottle appeared before I could dry myself off--generosity itself. We were also welcome to enjoy our own picnic dinners either poolside or on the patio. An ice chest was provided, the ice packs changed daily., for any fragile pates or cheeses.
Auberge de la Loulie, which offers a stunning 29 euro 5-course menu of Perigordine specialties, is a 5-minute drive away.
We were truly well looked after--it was like staying with especially thoughtful friends-- Highly recommended.

We rented a gite in the Dordogne in France which was lovely, but beware of gite owners who do not refund your security deposit and claim you have damaged the property to justify it!!! Take photographs to show the true condition on departure. Insist there is a face-to-face transfer of property with the housekeeper checking with you. Sign the inventory and keep all documentation.- Read aubazine's review (101 words and 1 comment)

I highly recommend the Dordogne in France, especially for an early break. It is probably even better later on when the temperature gets up, so as to enable more use of the pool. We found this place on a search under Saint Front la Riviere, and we will definitely return. This time we drove, but with Limoges airport only 45 minutes away, and cheap flights available from the UK, it makes sense to fly.- Read Blackjacket's review (237 words)

I would highly recommend a holiday to the Dordogne, however, I would like to warn people of a B&B called Maison La Tourache run by an English couple.
Although they have a very nice property unfortunately they have absolutely no idea how to run a B&B. Without going into the detail of what happened during our stay I can only offer my advice which is.. stay away !
There are far better French run places to stay in the area that also more conveniently located to enjoy the surrounding town and ...- Read leelambert's review (103 words and 3 comments)

We had decided after our last trip on Motorail to upgrade from standard class for the trip to the Dordogne and a soon as we entered or cabin we knew it was the right decision. The three-berth cabin was miniscule, but gorgeous; we even had a steward at or beck and call at the push of a button. After consuming our buffet trays, I snuggled down between crisp freshly laundered, under a soft tartan blanket. On the wall by each bunk was not only a glass holder, but a wine bottle holder too the French ...- Read raehippychick's review (1524 words)
