Had a peaceful and very enjoyable stay. The house has everything for a comfortable holiday, and the pool and grounds are lovely. The hosts were spot on with their communication and welcome (wine, fruit jam and cake very much enjoyed). Local wildlife, deer, birds of prey etc. all paid a visit, nice to see.
Jacky communicated with us very well from the outset and she and Francis were on hand to meet us on arrival and show us around the property.Jacky left us wine, beer, fruit and cakes to make us welcome.
A lovely setting, quite and peaceful throughout our stay:something we always look for.
The house was comfortable and well stocked. The outside areas are lovely and we radiated to the patio table for meals and the various seating areas. The grounds are varied with a beautiful pool and woodlands to wander. Truly, a lovely holiday home and to be recommended. We'd certainly return.
Arriving at this wonderful spot in the middle of the unspoiled countryside and the warm welcome by Jacky and Francis was the start of a magnificent week at Le Scourbet. The preparations for our stay, the comfort as well as the cozy interior so tastefully decorated with many personal touches made us happy. Everything you wish for is available and you really lack nothing at all. Outside the lovely shady terrace with the large dining table, cosy seats everywhere overlooking the well maintained garden, the awesome pool with excellent sun loungers, the fields and the woods, and moreover the silence, it really gave us this "wish to stay forever" feeling. We spent more time outside than inside and enjoyed the several visits of the small deer and even once at sunset we spotted the wild boar family in the upper meadow. Indeed we were sorry to leave Le Scourbet, this true paradise on earth. Dear Jacky and Francis, on behalf of all of us, thank you so much for your immense hospitality, for all delicacies presented to us on arrival, in short for a magnificent and unforgettable week. Au revoir! With kind regards, Liz
Meine Frau und ich haben eine wundervolle Woche in diesem wirklich stilvoll eingerichteten Haus verbracht. Die Gastgeber haben ein sehr groĂzĂŒgiges Gastgeschenk (Wein, GemĂŒse, Obst) vorbereitet. Pool und der Blick ins Tal und die Stille traumhaft schön.
Super schöne Location in absolut ruhiger Alleinlage.
Die Ausstattung lĂ€sst keine WĂŒnsche offen. Wir haben den tollen Pool und die ruhige Umgebung sehr genossen. Die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich und um das Wohl der GĂ€ste bemĂŒht. Wir haben uns rundherum wohl gefĂŒhlt und können das Haus uneingeschrĂ€nkt weiterempfehlen.
Herzlichen Dank fĂŒr alles und die besten WĂŒnsche.
We have just returned from a 2 week stay at Le Scourbet. By far the best property we have stayed in during our numerous visits to France. Really lovely house set in gloriously secluded grounds with an amazing large pool. It had everything we needed to make a perfect holiday. In addition the house remained cool despite the unusually high temperatures that we experienced. Perfectly located too. The hosts were very kind and helpful and we really appreciated the extra touches that they made. We would highly recommend this property.
This is complete tranquility in the beautiful countryside. The garden, pool and surroundings are just stunning and immaculate. There is everything you need for a blissful week or rest and perfect base for enjoying the delights of the Perigord. Hosts are lovely, lovely people. We can't thank you enough for sharing this beautiful place with us.
We stayed at Le Scourbet to celebrate a big birthday. We had the best week. The peaceful rural location was perfect and I have to say we did t venture very far as we loved being at the house!
Many thanks and we canât wait to return.
We had a great two week stay at the house, the owners where super friendly (and English speaking, which is helpful for non-perfect French-speakers :-)) and absolutely helpful with any questions or issue that arose. The beds where comfy, kitchen hat everything that you need and lots of plates and glasses and a very nice welcome pack, too. And of course the outside area is a charm, sitting on the patio is really nice, and the pool area just as great. All in all a really relaxing, calm and nice stay, except for some nasty mosquitos and the next bakery needing a 10min drive (which were not really anything we can blame on the house ...) it is a place we can completely recommend (though please don't go, when we want to return next year ;-)). Thanks for a wonderful time.

The house is great, the grounds are huge and have plenty of scope for activities, the pool is excellent.
3 bedrooms downstairs which is great for keeping temperatures down (the house is built into a slope so partly underground but all bedrooms have windows).
The upstairs bedroom can get quite hot in the summer.
The lounge and dining room are good if a little dated, plenty of seating space and a decent dining table.
The kitchen has plenty of storage for a holiday stay but there is not a lot of worksurface for preparation if cooking for multiple people. Two fridges gives plenty of space to store cold goods however.
The outdoor terrace is great for dining, great table with great views under a wisteria cover.
The pool is big enough for plenty of people to play in and even long enough to swim short lengths. The area around the pool is big enough for loungers, a table to eat at and a table tennis table.
Some things could probably do with updating - the freezer works fine but is not efficient at all (making ice cubes takes a long long time...) and some furniture - inside and out - would probably benefit from being refreshed.
All in all an excellent house and location and I wouldn't hesitate to go back.

La maison est excellente, le terrain est enorme avec pleines d'opportunies de jeu exterieur et la pscine est superbe.
Trois chambres moitie sous-sol (avec fenetre chacune) garde la bonne temperature meme en periode de chaleur. La chambre a l'etage peut se chauffer par contre quand il fait chaud.
La salle et salle a manger (une seule grande espace ouverte) sont bonnes si un peu datees.
La cuisine a plein d'espace pour stocker avec 2 frigo mais peu de surface pour la prep.
La terrace est au top pour manger a l'exterieur, une belle vue de la vallee sous couvert d'une glycine.
La piscine a de la pace pour de nombreuses personnes et au bords il y a de la place pour des chaises, une table ou on peut manger, une table de tennis et encore.
Il y a des choses qui beneficieront d'etre remplacees, le congelateur fonctionne mais met un temps assez important de faire les glacons par exemple, certains meubles (interieur et exterieur) se peuvent voir remplaces.
En tout une excellent maison et je n'hesiterais pas de la louer encore une fois.
