A wonderful open plan house in every way, in a delightful village. A great place to explore the Dordogne. Mark & Amanda, England, September 2025

Beautiful gite! Very well equipped in a quiet area but within walking distance of restaurants. Tim and Linda were very friendly and helpful. Neil & Helen, England, September 2025

Fantastic gîte at the edge of a pretty village. Rooms are spacious and the gîte is impeccable comfortable and very well equipped. Owners are lovely and great for recommending things to do locally. The local village has some great restaurants and a small grocery shop that sells most of the things you need as well as the essential daily croissants and baguettes that you preorder the day before. I would recommend this gîte to a couple looking for a peaceful holiday (it also has a single bed in the bedroom so ideal for a couple with a child) We would definitely love to return to Tim & Linda’s place. Greg & Judy, Scotland, September 2025

We had a pleasant stay . Tim & Linda welcomed us, very caring. As usual, kind and caring and very responsive Thank you for everything. Abdel & Asmae and their family, France, August 2025

Linda & Tim are very welcoming, kind and warm hosts! Very accessible and responsive. The cottage is splendid, very good quality and extremely well maintained. The location of the cottage is great for visiting the Périgord! This sublime region. We thank Linda & Tim again for our very pleasant stay. We hope to be back with pleasure. Thomas & Melanie and their family, France, August 2025

Very warm welcome from our hosts and personalized. After a brief visit to the premises, we discovered on the living room table a welcome basket – so very good hospitality. During the stay, they were very discreet and available, we really felt at home. You will understand that everything has been done for your well-being. The decor is tasteful and simple. In short, a very good vacation in a corner where there is a lot to visit, or stay to enjoy the beautiful pool maintained by Tim when you are not there. Thank you for a great holiday. Bernard & Monique, Belgium, August 2025

A great place near the center of the village. Large accommodation with a fantastic bed and well-equipped kitchen. You have the swimming pool all to yourself. Nice villages nearby: the market in le Bugue is very nice and also swimming in the Dordogne at Limeuil is wonderful. Nico & Birgit, Holland, July 2025

Nothing to improve on. As previous visit, the gite is well appointed with everything required for a great stay in a lovely location. Martyn & Wendy, Wales, July 2025 (first stayed in 2024).

We had a lovely peaceful and relaxing week at Tim and Linda’s gite, we couldn’t fault the property, the village was picturesque with good restaurants and is very well located for exploring the area. Tim and Linda were great hosts and were there for us when we needed them. David & Nicky, England, July 2025

We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay – we knew we would as we absolutely love your gite! The weather has been perfect and we both feel very chilled 😎 Mick & Mandy, England, June 2025 (first stayed in 2024)

Excellent website showing location, pool and layout … you cannot improve anything! It’s so clean, tidy and very well equipped; lovely finishing touches. Excellent outdoor space, and in a very convenient and private location – everything is here for a lovely holiday … 10/10! Brian & Ishbel, Scotland, June 2025

The place is amazing and I honestly can’t think of a thing to feedback other than that!  Spencer & Sara, June 2025

We really loved our stay in this property and would love to return! The villa was very spacious, clean & fully equipped with everything we needed (the bbq & cooking tools were a definite highlight for us!). It is a short walk into the picturesque town – we tried out a couple of the restaurants and they did not disappoint! We loved the pool and it felt incredibly relaxed & peaceful away from any noise. Tim & Linda were very helpful with their recommendations & gave us a warm greeting on arrival to the property. Would definitely recommend this property – one of the best bookings we’ve made on Airbnb so far! Lucy & James, May 2025

We recommend this property – one of the best bookings we’ve made on Airbnb so far!Fantastic and relaxing place to stay, beautiful converted barn and pool – it’s a real gem. It’s a great location to explore the Dordogne. Fabulous hosts – thank you again and hope to see you soon. Andy & Kerry, England, April 2025

We absolutely loved this home. It looks brand new. Everything was spotless and finished to a really high standard. They had thought of everything you could need. We had been travelling for a while so was great to have a washing machine. Easy parking. Two spaces. Very spacious inside. We loved coming back at the end of the day and being able to swim in a private pool. The garden gets the sun all day which is a bonus and we loved being able to sit out and eat at night. Tim and Linda were lovely. They are right next door if you need them but everything still feels very private. Couldn’t fault it and would definitely stay again. Amazing value for money. Andy & Jessica, England, September 2024

Beautiful accommodation & pool was welcome when the sun shone. Friendly hosts & reassuring they are next door if a problem arises. Short walk into Trémolat & enjoyed beautiful meal at the Bistro de La Place. Lovely area to visit with lots of pretty villages to discover. Russ & Su, England, September 2024

Linda and Tim are very welcoming, friendly and discreet hosts. We enjoyed our stay at Le Petit Abri. The cottage matches the photos (or bigger!), the decoration is neat, with lots of amenities. We will thank Tim and Linda for the attention upon arrival, especially for our son. We highly recommend it! Pierre-Olivier & Justine, France, August 2024

We warmly thank Linda & Tim for hosting us so well for two weeks in their ‘Little Shelter’. Our stay went perfectly. The accommodation is a beautiful renovation and combines aesthetics and functionality. The flowery exteriors and the pool are spotless and charming. Linda & Tim are discreet, considerate, and responsive hosts. We are delighted by our stay and highly recommend this accommodation to explore the beautiful Dordogne. Delphine & Silvere, France, July/August 2024

One word: PERFECT! We greatly enjoyed the holiday. The pool was the cherry on the cake! Good location, clear information… Tim and Linda are a super friendly couple who are always ready when needed. We recommend this stay 100%! Langer & Sharyn, Belgium, July 2024

Nothing to improve! Everything has been thought of, and provided, to ensure a great stay! Lovely, peaceful surroundings and beautifully restored gite. Martyn & Wendy, Wales, July 2024

We absolutely loved everything about our stay. The gite was perfect for a couple, had everything we needed and had a pool which is a rare find in a one bedroom gite. We explored many of the surrounding villages which were all beautiful. There was lots of information provided about the gite itself but also recommendations of places to eat etc. We had perfect weather too. Tim and Linda were very friendly and knowledgeable. They were available when we needed them but otherwise we wouldn’t have known they were just next door. We will definitely return in the future. John & Jane, England, June/July 2024

Tim & Linda were incredibly welcoming hosts and made us feel right at home the minute we arrived. Their gite is unique, very well equipped and homely. They have good local knowledge and gave us many recommendations for paddle-boarding, walking and evening entertainment in the local area. We especially enjoyed the Wednesday night Dordogne “chippy”, where the whole town comes together to enjoy live music, some drinks and great food. The gite was incredibly quiet and private, which meant we were able to fully switch off and relax. We thoroughly recommend staying and will be back to explore more. Robbie & Vicky, England, June 2024

Amazing place to stay – Tim and Linda were fantastic hosts, the place is beautifully equipped and beautiful, with lovely pool for swimming in June and brilliantly located for Tremolat. We’d definitely recommend and come back. Mark & Polly, England, June 2024

Top quality all round! Colin & Jackie, England, May/June 2024

Tim & Linda pay particular attention to the quality of their welcome. Comfortable, well-equipped accommodation, especially the kitchen. The location is peaceful, perfect for relaxing and exploring the Dordogne … Christophe, France, May 2024
