La Bergerie offers exactly "What it says on the Tin". An idyllic base to explore the extravaganza of sights the Dordogne region has to offer. The cottage has everything one needs from a well appointed kitchen that included a separate wine fridge, to the use of a secluded pool that would obviously be very popular in the summer holiday season. With a well stocked supermarket and good village restaurant within ten minutes by car one can enjoy the options of lazy barbecues, good cheeses and wine, a good read and siesta chez La Bergerie, or visit perhaps Sarlat or Dom for the day. Your owner hosts ensure the property is maintained to a high standard and we frankly were hardly aware that they live next door. The visitors book bears testament to holidays enjoyed by both couples and families. Town market days are always worth a visit and we were able to enjoy the one at St Cyprien although the price of coffee out on the street was exorbitant not helped by the rate of sterling/euro exchange. We flew from Southampton to Bergerac with Flybe that worked well for us, but make sure you check out the full cost of hiring a car which is essential for this holiday venue. We found the luxury of a spacious car for four adults from Avis was more than the cottage rental! La Bergerie is situated a little off the beaten track adjacent to a farm but the joining instructions do find their way there past a kennel of excellent looking hunting bloodhounds and rabbit pens.

Brush up your french and enjoy France in one of it's nicer areas.
