Very comfortable and welcoming gite in beautiful countryside. Michael & Kim are excellent hosts.
Spent a great week here in July. Gite is lovely and very comfortable. Michael and Kim are very welcoming hosts, ensuring you have everything you need. The pool is fab and beautifully clean. I would thoroughly recommend staying here - for great accommodation in beautiful countryside - a great way to chill out and relax.
The only downside is that there is no shop in the village for basic provisions (bread, milk etc..)
We have just spent a fantastic week at this gite. The title sums it up! The owners, Michael and Kim, were extremely thoughtful and generous. The village in which the gite is located is quiet, but it is not far from a lively little town on the Dordogne River called Lalinde with the obligatory boulangeries, cafes etc.
This property is a little gem. It's the owner's house so it's very well equipped and has everything you need for a lovely stay. It's the best equipped and most comfortable gite we've stayed in. The sofas and single seat had were all recliners and couldn't be more comfortable. Michael and Kim weren't there for most of our holiday as they were taking a well earned break but they made sure that a friend was there to welcome us and also available to us during our stay if needed. Michael also sent us videos prior to out arrival which were really useful once we were at the gite. The location is very peaceful with views of open countryside. There is a lovely restaurant in Lanquais called Les Marronniers. All in all we had a fantastic 2 weeks here.
The gite is in a lovely setting within easy reach of major towns like Bergerac and Sarlat, and smaller villages like Issigeac whose Sunday market is well worth wading through the crowds for. We also recommend the LâAtelier restaurant in the same village.
The pool is âbracingâ at first, but its generous size makes up for that. If you like walking then there plenty of opportunities with quiet back roads and forest trails round about with the chance to spot deer in the early morning.
The spacious property is well equipped, especially the kitchen. You wouldnât know that Michael and Kim live upstairs, and we would like to thank them for their welcome and hospitality.
Overall, a great week!
From the start Michael and Kim gave great coms and are on hand if you need them during the stay.
The house is a perfect place for piece and quiet days spent outside. Everything is provided and especially for us proper size mugs for a tea/coffee and proper size wine glasses.
The pool is a great size and heated. Michael ensures it is kept clean.
Would we stay again, without a shadow of a doubt. Thanks guys for your hospitality.

Our party consisted of 3 adults and we had been waiting since before COVID to visit France again so our expectations were high! Michael and Kim met all our expectations and more...I cannot express how fabulous a time we had. The house was perfect and the pool was the best we've come across. The premises are looked after beautifully with Michael on hand to keep the pool fabulous. You could not want better hosts...they were very discreet but always available to give advice about restaurants or trips out etc. Michael and Kim added to the enjoyment of our holiday.
There is a lovely restaurant close by in Lanquais serving beautiful French food , we went twice! Lots of places of interest to visit and Michael and Kim have all the up to date brochures for you to look at and use to help you plan your day.
Nothing could have been improved about our holiday as it was just great. I can't recommend Michael and Kim's house enough. 10 out of 10!!
The property was ideal for us. Plenty of room, very quiet, surrounded by interesting countryside that was great for walks. The property was very well appointed. Pretty much everything we needed was there, including a well kitted out kitchen, plenty of fridge and freezer space, sufficient towels, toilet rolls, etc such that we didn't need to buy anything for ourselves except food and drinks.
My impression was that the owners would try to do whatever is needed to make their guests stay a good one. Michael even brought to us a set of local walks, with printed maps and such, which we enjoyed immensely. The pool is not heated (although I expect almost all pools in the Perigord region will be the same), but otherwise great for either a family playing in the pool or a solitary swimmer just doing some lengths.
The nearby village, which is walking distance, has an excellent Brasserie, Les Marolliers, although unfortunately this is the only one. There are others within driving distance.
Definitely recommended.
Everything from the Initial booking to our departure after a fab 2 week stay was seamless. Michael and Kim are very friendly, welcoming hosts, discreet yet on hand if needed (Michael even provided us with screen wash for our car on departure for the long drive home!). A generous welcome pack was waiting on arrival along with a gleaming pool and a comfortable gite which is only 20 minutes walk form a great restaurant. The peaceful location of this gite will ensure a very relaxing holiday.
We had a nice week here and the owners were very helpful, advising on places to visit and restaurants to go to. Gite is very clean with a nice pool and barbecue. Pool was quite cold but think that's a problem in France generally. Owners stay upstairs during your stay but you don't hear them and they are out most of the day. As its their home the rest of the year they appreciate it being looked after so perhaps have quite a few rules to follow in the welcome folder. One is about the suncream for the pool, it has to be the right type and you need to wash it off before getting in the pool. Understandable so they don't get a ring around the pool but I struggled to keep the kids protected from the sun whilst in the pool. Overall for the money charged its a great Gite and we had a lovely stay, thanks
Eine schöne Ferienwohnung mit sehr gepflegtem Pool. Der Garten ist geschmackvoll angelegt. Das Haus liegt in einer ruhigen und landschaftlich schönen Umgebung. Ab und zu fliegen Flugzeuge darĂŒber, dies hat uns jedoch nicht gestört. Die Wohnung ist gut ausgestattet, besonders die KĂŒche. Die Vermieter Kim und Michael sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit.
Michael und Kim sind hervorragende Gastgeber und haben ein wundervolles Ferienhaus in einer der schönsten Gegenden Frankreichs. Alles war prima, wir haben uns ausgesprochen wohl gefĂŒhlt.
We have spent many a holiday in the Dordogne and without doubt Lamourlanquais is a wonderfully relaxing location. Nestled behind the beautiful chateau in Lanquais Kim and Michael have created a lovely hideaway for those who enjoy a well deserved rest. Despite its tranquil location the gite is half an hour away from all the major attractions in all directions.
Michael takes great care and pride with the pool and it is always in top condition should you wish to use it. The gardens are beautifully kept and attract a variety of local wildlife including humming birds.
We were a group of four adults and would not hesitate to recommend Lamourlanquais to a similar group or small family.
Very good property and location. Excellent owners.
The property is in a quiet and peaceful location. The gite was well equipped and spotlessly clean. Michael and Kim were the perfect hosts. Nothing too much trouble when asked, advice freely available.
Swimming pool was excellent and patio area relaxing.
Fabulous location, short drive from airport while being easy distance to small towns and villages along the river.
Being within easy travelling from airport meant about 4 or 5 planes flew overhead each day. But they were sufficiently high not to disturb the peace.
Thoroughly recommended for a relaxing laid back holiday.
We had a lovely week in this amazing property. Michael and Kim were the perfect hosts. Lots of ideas of where to go and places to eat. It was absolutely spotless, and there was everything you could possibly need. We had some amazing meals in the Village restaurant and also lots of choice when out and about. We would definitely recommend this property to others. Thank you Michael and Kim for making us so welcome.
Wishing you every success for the future. Martin and Wendy
Lovely secluded property with local facilities a short drive away
We spent a week here in the height of summer 2015. Exactly as pictured, with friendly but non-intrusive hosts living in accommodation above. The pool was excellent. Accommodation to a good standard. With a reasonable walk there is a shop and lovely restaurant, and local services are a short drive away. I would go back and would thoroughly recommend this rental.
A beautifully clean and comfortable property. There were so many extra touches that made it a real home from home. We loved the salt water pool and the surrounding terrace area. The owners were friendly and helpful without being intrusive and nothing was too much trouble. This gite is in a great position to explore a beautiful part of the Dordogne with good local amenities. We would definitely return to this gem of a property.
A wonderful home from home, all the amenities you would require for a relaxing self catering holiday. The pool is fabulous with excellent terraced seating area, a beautiful and peaceful location with plenty of outdoor space. Children well catered for with TV and wifi! We had a marvellous week and will definitely return. - The Clarke family.

L'amour Lanquais Holiday Rental 49 Chemin La Crabe, 24150 Lanquais, Owned by: Michael and Kim GRAY Wishing you a holiday to remember. Please see lamourlanquais.eu
We had looked for months and months, we looked at more expensive and less expensive properties when we first laid eyes on this little house we knew it had just the right ambiance we were looking for, a truly wonderful setting, and even though it had a lot of work to do on it, it was well worth it, as were sure you will agree once you've stayed here. Our reviews on this site and trip advisor speak for themselves.
We moved here in June 2013 and to us every day is like a holiday, its a combination of factors, the house and area has a big part to play and then there is the French way of life that's like going back in time to our childhoods, what can we say, its like living the dream and we want to share that dream with you.
