My wife and I spent a week in this lovely cottage in the
Dordogne. We had a terrific time visiting the valley,
the chateau's, and the Cro-magnon trail. We visited a
cave with paintings that were 14,000 years old and we
also enjoyed the the food and wine. This is a great
place to visit. |

"Please note that I'm not advertising anything, just making a suggestion for an awesome place to stay in the Dordogne. We rented a cottage in a VERY small town called Berbiguières which is very close to all the great spots along the Dordogne. The cost was very reasonable considering there was 4 of us and was the best place we stayed during our 2 weeks in France. It's a 3-5 minute drive to Saint Cyprien which has a large grocery store and an amazing Market on Sunday mornings."

My familiy and I stayed one week in this cottage in August 2008. The cottage is a lovely renovation in a charming little village. Staying in this little village was like steping back in time. The village is off the beaten path but well located for exploring the Dordogne. We would definitely return to this cottage. Many thanks to Katherine and David for making their cottage available.

| We can only endorse many of the other positive remarks about this charming and most comfortable cottage in the Dordogne. This is not just a vacation cottage, the owners use it themselves and it has a lot of personal touches that one does not usually find in a rental. We would have liked to have had more time to just enjoy the cottage, but there are so many interesting places to visit...all easily reachable within a few hours drive at most. We have travelled in Europe quite extensively and this area of France is very special and amazingly unspoilt. Thank you Katherine and David for sharing your home with us. |

I have lived and traveled in France many times over the last 20+ years but I've never been as relaxed and content as the last week in June at this cottage in Berbiguieres. I wish we had been there longer than a week because the charm of the village and the riches of the region continued to unfold (castles, wild mushrooms, kayaking...). I loved being in the kitchen cutting up fresh local produce while looking over other rooftops and up the meadow. There was a daily surprise, lightning over the castle, hummingbirds on the patio, glow worms on the walkways visible after midnight and one special grave in the cemetery. The cottage was charming and very well-equipped. The absence of phone, television, outside world other than radio is priceless. I still feel a bit heartsick not being there and we are thinking about when we can go to the cottage again, perhaps to see it in another season. Make sure to read the whole guestbook when you arrive; it has great information. My only real comment, the photos on this site do not do the cottage or village justice. Feel free to contact me so I can overwhelm you with more highlights.

This cottage in Berbiguieres was wonderful. It was like being in a fairytale with its rustic wood and thick stone walls, yet had all the mnodern conveniences. The location could not have been better with nearby 16th century castles, pre-history
caves with their paintings, and the beauty of the Dordogne. We look forward to going back. |

This is an ideal cottage in a perfect Dordogne village. The owners have taken pains to ensure a comfortable stay with lots of home-like extras such as a small library, good pillows, and a Weber grill on the wonderful terrace--amenities that bely the sense that you are living in the midst of long ago.

After four hectic days in Paris it was such a treat to retreat to your cottage. We absolutely love this beautiful area of France. Each morning we would find a market and buy some bread, cheese, wine and salad fixings then return "home" in the early evenings to sit on the patio and enjoy the long, lovely sunsets and Cuckoo birds.
We enjoyed meeting some of you neighbors, taking long walks around the village, and your little cottage had everything we needed to be comfortable. What a fine time we had, and I certainly hope we will go back for more visits...you do have a little piece of paradise.

We truly loved our time in Berbiguieres and could have spent much longer. The cottage met all of our hopes, let alone expectations, and when the personal touches extended to music, books and even cookbooks, we were enchanted.
Mornings with a cup of tea, windows open, listening to the country overlaid by occasional bells will be long savoured. Evenings spent with a glass of wine, sitting on the terrace watching the glorious stone walls come alive with colour will help sustain us through dreary winter nights.
The best recommendation I can give is that we have all agreed that we want return for a much longer time. |

YES -- we had an amazing time at your cottage ... in fact, it was wonderful!! The cottage was perfect -- we spent many hours relaxing at the outdoor table on the terrace, reading, drinking red wine, listening to the breeze softly rustle the grape vines. What a delightful place!! Thank you again for sharing your special place -- we loved the Dordogne and would definitely recommend your cottage in particular to anyone that we know who may travel there. B. E.

As we have just returned to the states I looked with envy on the stamped envelope knowing just where you posted it from. Joseph and I very much loved the cottage. He was so very happy with the kitchen. It's not often at all that a kitchen is so complete. J. V.

… and the cottage and Berbigueres are delightful. You were right; that is an area of France that is largely unspoiled and is delightful to visit. We'd love to go back. The weather, by the way, was excellent. We several days of no clouds. Thanks for letting us rent the cottage. We loved it!! had a day of rain, and some clouds, but by and large it was sunny, not unlike today. T. W.

Katherine -- (or Kathy as you are known in the village)
Thank you so much for sharing your lovely little cottage with us. We so enjoyed our stay in Berbiguieres. And of course, all of the kindness of Ines.
Our initial plan was to relax and catch our breaths from the 5 weeks of travel. But with so much to see and do in the Dordogne we joyfully changed our plans. We really feel as if we got a bit of the flavor of the area. As we arrived in Provence we both looked at each other and said that we preferred the Dordogne in many ways. C. N. 2004
