We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the gite. Our hosts, Shona and Steve, were very friendly and ready with advice when needed - a lovely welcome drink on the terrace, which extended well in to the evening.
The gite is clean and well appointed with everything we needed and if there had been anything extra we required I'm sure Shona would have rustled it up for us!
The children were very happy with their rooms and the fans were very welcome on the hot nights. As was the pool, lovely to cool down after a day out in 36°C heat.
The location is great, with beautiful views over the neighbouring countryside and very quiet. The boulangerie is a short walk away and the supermarket a quick drive up the road. The area offers masses to do: markets, caves, gardens, medival towns and chateaux aplenty, making La Petite Baronnie an ideal location. Kayaking down the Dordogne with a picnic is to be recommended and not overly arduous. The night market - marché gourmand - was good fun, with lots of choice, including Vietnamese street food and the ubiquitous crepes and gauffre. At La Buisson I'd recommend the pork, slow roasted over hot coals.
All in all, it was wonderful. Thanks Steve and Shona for your hospitality and we hope to be back another year. PS. Give a cuddle to Smokey
