Cottage spacieux, piscine privée avec de superbes vues, idéal pour la randonnée, golf en face

We stayed at Teyssie for two weeks in August as it was close to the location of my brothers wedding. The Gite is located around 40 minutes from Bergerac airport and is very easy to find as it is one straight road from the airport to the Gite.

The Gite is set in beautiful countryside with cows grazing at the back of the Gite. The pool is simply amazing. It is set in the walls of an old barn so is a bit of a sun trap and the doors can be opened so that you can enjoy the views from the pool. Myself and my family spent many days relaxing and playing in and around the pool.

The Gite itself is very homely and well-equipped, there is nothing that the owners Hilary and Gary haven't thought off:

- a pushchair, high chairs, cots, potty's for toilet training and even nappy bags in each bathroom for little ones.

- DVDs and games for indoors

- Outside games such as tennis rackets, badminton, boules along with various floats and inflatables for the pool.

- A folder packed with useful information on the local area including English speaking doctors, local supermarkets with maps and place to visit.

There is an outdoor BBQ and three outdoor seating areas with walks literally outside the front door. The local farmer even brought us a basket full of plums to enjoy during our stay.

Most of our time was spent enjoying the Gite and pool, although the local area has lots to do and during our stay we visited Lac Lougratte, Monflanquin and Chateau Le Stelsia an amazingly wacky hotel with a great park you can walk around and the best crazy golf I've ever visited!

Last but certainly not least the owners Gary & Hilary are two of the loveliest people you will ever meet. They did not at all intrude during the stay but did everything they could to make sure we enjoyed our time at the Gite. From finding the fridge stocked with meats, cheese, butter, eggs, milk and not one but three bottles of wine as well as fresh bread and croissants upon arrival, to changing over the swing to a toddler swing and bringing over a garage, along with boxes of cars, lego and stickle bricks for our son to play with and going out of their way to collect us from my brothers wedding.

They are so warm and welcoming and make a fantastic Gite a fabulous one and we would love to visit again.

My 4 year old son loved our holiday! When we asked him what he enjoyed most he said... the sun, the pool, the cows, the swings and Gary & Hilary! Pretty accurate summary!

Upon arrival the gite was very clean and well presented. Hillary and Gary provided a lovely welcome pack of basic essentials and a few extras. The gite is really well equipped and I can't think of anything that wasn't there that you would need. The pool area is lovely and private and feels very luxurious. There are sunbeds, umbrellas, and shaded gazebo. We had lots of bbqs and made the most of eating outside. We had a hire car and enjoyed trips out in the local area, a lake, evening and day food markets. Would recommend to others.

What can I say about Hilary and Gary that hasn't already been said?! We couldn't have asked for more sensational hosts. So warm and friendly, nothing is too much trouble. It is evident that their guests' happiness is paramount to them. The gite is perfectly well equipped with EVERYTHING you could need. Hilary has obviously gone to great effort to make the gite feel like a home from home, I wish we could have stayed longer. We found morning croissants in a bakery 5km away in Cancon and the supermarket around 20 mins away is HUGE and has all the french treats you could hope for. A great location, we enjoyed meals out in Bergerac and Montflanquin. Bergerac airport is easily accessible - just one straight road! We LOVED the cows in the field behind the gite - we loved hearing them mooooo during the days (spot the city dwellers!) Thankfully I was able to squeeze a few pots of Hilary's homemade jam and chutney in my suitcase so I can get holiday feels for a little while longer. :)

We have now made three visits to Teyssie, and the welcome that we received from Hilary and Gary was as warm as ever. The property is very comfortable and is exceptionally well equipped. The unseasonably cold and wet September weather meant that we did not sample the new swimming pool, but it is clearly a very elegant and attractive addition to the property. Its rural location means that it is exceptionally quiet and (weather permitting) allows spectacular views of the night sky, unspoiled by light pollution. The owners live immediately adjacent to the property and are available to help with any problems, but they at no time intruded on our privacy.

The local area has a number of attractive Bastide towns that are well worth a visit, and there are several other tourist attractions for the visitor. The city of Villeneuve-sur Lot is less appealing, though there is a good selection of shops and the E Leclerc hypermarket on the outskirts of the city is an easy drive away and provides for all one’s needs.

We can thoroughly recommend Teyssie to any potential visitors, and we extend our sincere thanks once more to Hilary and Gary for their efforts to give us a really enjoyable holiday.

We have just got back from two weeks in this property and had a fantastic time.

The cottage is modern, very clean and is equipped with everything you could possibly need to enjoy your stay.

There are 3 outside seating areas and an excellent pool that is situated within the walls of an old barn. The pool area itself is stunning and we spent a lot of time there in the sun.

The owners, Gary and Hilary did everything they could to make our stay a pleasurable as possible.

We would highly recommend this property and would like to return again. It is easily the best French cottage we have stayed with our family and the cottage, outside areas and the pool are all amazing.
