What an idyllic setting, the peace just hits you & with the land, it's just perfect ! The kids have had a fantastic time swimming in the pool & playing hide & seek in the fields. The house has so much character & we love the little quirks like the sink in the downstairs wash room. Only the presence of the wasps next to the pool were a slight annoyance. We have visited the English vineyard Domaine du Garinet & even returned to purchase more bottles ! Managed to fit in kayaking at Roque Gagac which was amazing fun, a boat trip around Cahors, Walibi Park & lunch at Puy L'Eveque. A must visit place is Gouffre du Padirac (1hr 30 mins drive) & Rocamador. Thank you Steve & Tessa for letting us live in your wonderful home.

We have had a lovely time, the weather has been perfect & we hardly left the house, as we enjoyed lounging around at home. We have had visits from the toads & a large beetle causing certain people to run inside ! We were disappointed by the roap swing that earlier guests wrote that they enjoyed. It would have been fun for the kids ! * The badminton, table-tennis & swimming pool were used often & kept us entertained though ! The house itself was very spacious & comfortable & was very remote. We enjoyed wine tasting at a local house & brought back many bottles ! (Wine) Overall we have had a wonderful holiday in a lovely house & we regret leaving after a nice time ! The Saxbys xxxx

The family holiday in this large lovely house was great. Weather was really great, blue sky every day. Enjoyed using the pool & ping-pong (or wiff-waff) table. No complaints from my behalf. The pool at night-very nice ! Lovely sky with stars. Only left the house once as it was perfect just chillin at the house.
Lots of 'creme du solait? (sun cream ) needed as got quite burnt.
Lovely stay & don't want to leave.
Fazackerley Family. Where do we start ? What a fantastic quiet place to relax & enjoy a superb holiday. We have loved the pool, the Boules & the table tennis. Each evening we eagerly awaited the arrival of the two toads on the patio & the gentle 'whoo' of the owl. (A Scops Owl apparently). Visited both the vineyards recommended by Steve & Tessa (Domaine du Garinet-visited before anyway) & at Bru (Nosiere) very friendly. We enjoyed night swims to the noise of crickets & Boules in the sunset. We & our friends & family had a superb celebration here over the fortnight & will hopefully come again. Thank you to Steve & Tessa for lending us your special place.

15th-29th August
Thanks for a fabulous place to enjoy our holiday. We all loved it, mainly the feel of the place-very peaceful...even with children in it! Loved the wildlife (toads, frog, snake, owls, buzzards) & the pool , so much, we didn't get to do much else. All went far too quickly, but we leave refreshed. Thanks & good luck with everything. Chris, Liz, Martha, Noah, Ashid, Jordon, Jess, Angel.
ps Can we heartily recommend the hazelnuts from the tree by the pool. We made hazelnut shortbread with them from a recipe in one of the kitchen cook books.....fab !
I really enjoyed this holiday, it was brilliant. I will miss the toad. Sometimes I sit with my mum & look at the stars. Your garden was a wonderful place to play in. I want to come here when I'm older. I really enjoyed our stay. Good luck, Martha xxx
