The short answers; the full booking conditions are on their own page.
Check-in is from 16:00. Check out is by 10:00. Early check-in or late check out is possible if available, and for a fee. Please contact us prior to the arrival date
Both heated pools are open from May to September. The shared pool (11 × 5 m) is fenced and covered, open 9h to 21h; the Maison du Maître has its own private 8 × 4 m pool. No glass around the pool - plastic cups are provided in the gites. Please remove all suncreams (showers in pool areas) before swimming as they really affect water quality. Children must always be under their parents' supervision: there is no lifeguard.
Bookings are made through the website with a non-refundable deposit of €100-€200 per stay (double for stays of 14 nights or more), or the full price if you book less than 8 weeks before arrival. The balance is due 8 weeks before your start date; a reminder is sent 10 weeks before.
Prices are per week (or per night in low and mid season) per accommodation and include electricity and gas, water, bed linen and bath & pool towels. Tourist tax is from €0.75 to €2.50 per adult per night, paid locally.
Pets are welcome with prior agreement, at €25 per stay, maximum two dogs per booking. Dogs must be kept on a lead when outside your enclosed garden and are not allowed in the pool areas.
Yes: cots and highchairs are available on request in every gîte (space for a cot is minimal in the main bedrooms to Chestnut and Walnut). The number of guests per accommodation cannot be exceeded, unless cots are needed for infants.
Of course: book one gîte, all of them, or a mix. Together we accommodate up to 32 people. Write to us and we will arrange it.
Smoking, e-cigarettes and vaping are only permitted outside in your private garden, not inside your accommodation or in public areas.
Yes, free Wi-Fi in every gîte, around the pools and in Le Petit Cochon
We are a self-catering establishment, but we are happy to cook a curry, a coq au vin or a BBQ for you, and to prepare breakfast hampers and packed lunches. Please give us a few days' notice; minimum order two people.
The Dordogne has a sustainable commitment to waste, tries to minimise non-recyclable waste and does not provide collections.
After minimising waste, we try to recycle or compost all waste. There are bins for recycling of papers, cans & plastics and glass in your gite. We ask you to take your recycling to the nearby community bins on the edge of the village (500m). If this is a problem (eg you have come by public transport or bike), just ask.
There is a compost bin in your gite and a larger bin in the public garden. Most foods can be recycled except meats and fish.
There are separate bins for BBQ ash and oils beside our garden gate.
Non-recyclable waste can be placed in black bin bags provided and in the main bin beside our garden gate. We will remove this for you.
Likewise there are specific bins for dog waste and nappies, which again we will remove.
No (we do not believe it helps the climate change problem), but all bedrooms have a misting fan to keep you cool on the hot nights.
The Maison du Maitre has a private pool - 8m x 4m, heated and with a hard safety cover
The 3 smaller gites and tents share the main pool - 11m x 5m, heated and with a hard safety cover and secure fencing
