Comfortable rooms and a perfect house for 2 families. New decking got the morning sun so breakfast on the deck and the front garden, patio and BBQ got the evening sun - perfection! A lovely (unless you don't like hills) cycle in the country to get the bread and croissants every day. Lac du Rouffiac was idyllic but there are plenty of lovely lakes within a short drive and on route to some very pretty and interesting towns.

We really enjoyed our stay at Le Verger and found a lot to do in the surrounding area. Kitchen well equipped, coped well with preparing meals for 8. Veranda space was a boon as the Perigord weather wasn't at it's best for our visit. Huge fireworks nearby for the 15th August party. Lots to do at the Ruffiac lake, kept our 4 children (9-15) well occupied with swimming, tree climbing and even water skiing. Great mountain bike trails to discover too - expect some stiff climbs to go with the descents - most of the marked footpaths are suitable for MTB too. Less than 90 mins to Rocamadour. Jardins de l'imagination was worth a visit (guided in French with some notes in English). Grottes de Tourtoirac were spectacular and on the doorstep (20 mins). Canoeing on the Auzevere was good too - in spite of the lack of water. Prize for best local supermarket goes to Carrefour Connect in Julliac (12 km). We were only visiting for one week and did try to do a couple of things each day, but we know Perigord Vert has much more to offer.

Loved our stay at Le Verger. Beautiful old house and gardens with rural countryside views. Fully equipped. Fab bar/restaurant 1 mile away. Owner will order croissants and baguettes if you order night before. Great Lake in nearby rouffiac with swimming beach and loads of activities. Supermarkets close by. So peaceful at house with lovely covered deck area out back for leisurely meals or just quiet contemplation. 10/10

We had an incredible week made all the better by such a lovely base. the property is full of character and has an owner who ensures everything is just right for you. We spent a week visiting the highlights of the Dordogne region with nothing more than a 75 minute drive away. Pretty much perfect
