Thank you for a lovely relaxing week at La Feuillade.

the barn is beautiful and Tony's recommendations for where to go and what to see and how to get there were invaluable.

I loved Sonia's shop - an added bonus.

we also delighted in the warm welcome we got every time we returned from Ruby the dog (even if it was sometimes a little over enthusiastic!)

Best wishes

Richard, Sylvia and the kids

Had a great time - lovely weather. Pool was a life saver with 30C and sun all week. Thanks for all the helpful tips. See you next year

Claire McCollum and friends

Merci Beaucoup.

We had a wonderful few days in your beautiful cottage and I have turned 30 in definite style.

Thank you for your fantastic hospitality. We couldn't have wanted for anything more.

We shall return to work refreshed and rejuvenated, but daydreaming of a much better place!

Thankyou

Of all the places to lay my head there are few that I'd recommend more than Tony and Sonia's beautiful ivy-clad cottage tucked away in rural France.

The property is beautifully presented with a calm river running by, lovely swimming pool, and woods to explore.

The cottage is cosy haven with a tastefully done kitchen, sweetly designed kid's bedroom, and the master bedroom feels like a sanctuary- peaceful and light-filled.

Locally, you will be spoiled with award winning bread and pastry from the local bakery and French home-style cooking from the local restaurant for a ridiculously low cost (5 courses including wine, coffee, and dessert for €13).

I'd recommend a trip to Bordeaux, St Emilion, Lac Jamaye (if you have young children this is a must!), Bourdeilles, and Beynac.

We had the pleasure of visiting in the autumn when, I imagine, the Dordogne is at its finest. The trees flaunted fluorescent yellow colours, the vines were heavy laden with grapes, the air crisp in the morning, and al fresco dining delightful in the evening. Walnuts and sweet chestnuts littered the ground beneath their trees and this season's wine filled the grocer's shelves. Tourist destinations are yours to explore in serenity without the tourist paparazzi.

However, none the previously mentioned things holds a candle to the delight in making a friendship with Tony and Sonia. They are some of the most hospitable and kindest people I have had the privilege of meeting. They immediately made us feel at home and welcome.

Whether your stay be for one or two weeks or even a couple months like us, I can guarantee it won't be long enough.

Breath a sigh of relief- you no longer need to spend hours researching your perfect holiday destination- you have found it! I'm already jealous of the holiday that awaits you!!

First time here, and had a great time, cottage perfect.

It was great meeting Sonia and Tony who was a mine of information.

Can't wait to come back.

Our first visit to this region and this beautiful cottage.

Despite rather mixed weather we were out and about with our teenagers and enjoyed relaxing back here too.

Tony and Sonia are very warm and friendly, and a mine of local information. Thanks to their tips on the blue info sheets we had a wonderful lunch, (menu du jour), at Au Bien Bon in Perigueux, enjoyed market day there (Weds) as well as at St Astier (Thurs).

We ventured as far as the coast, climbed the sand dune at Pyla, jumped over waves at the nearby beach Corniche and ate at Arcachon.

This is a wonderful place to relax, thanks Tony,Sonia and family, not forgetting Ruby, for making it so.

Jonathon and Kirsty Cobb

Thank you Tony and Sonia for letting us stay in your marvelous barn.

We all had a ball from 4-77!

Rounders, Granny's birthday, Tony's mussels, the pool and general fun was all fantastic.

Natasha wants to move here- for more than one reason!

Hopefully we will be back- if we can get in!
