(09-2026) Hello Marieke and Martijn,
We had a wonderful holiday at holiday home Grauvière. We were warmly received by the friendly owner, who was easily reachable and spoke English. The house was tidy, clean, well-furnished, and the kitchen was fully equipped. Plenty of plates, glasses, and cutlery, as well as appliances in great working order. Even a Nespresso coffee machine.
There is no air conditioning in the living room, but there is in the bedrooms. That might cause some confusion if you need it during the summer. Wonderful beds, so we slept very well. It is very quiet at night, and in the morning, you are woken up by the birds in the garden. The only downside was that there were no mosquito screens, which we did miss as there were quite a few mosquitoes and wasps.
The garden is fantastically large. Our dogs had a great time running around and sniffing without any chance of escaping, as it is fully fenced. On one side, you have neighbours whom you hardly see or hear and when we did see them, they were very friendly. On the other side, there is a path leading to the neighbours at the back, but you hardly ever see anyone there. On that side, you also have a fantastic view.
If you go for walks in the area, keep in mind that almost everywhere there are guard dogs loose in gardens that might run towards you barking.
The pool is fenced and has plenty of sun loungers and parasols. You need to bring your own pool towels. It is heated continuously, which is lovely.
In the area, there are plenty of towns to visit, though you do need a car for everything. The house has plenty of brochures and booklets to gather ideas. There is a nice local produce shop nearby (La Halle de Cougnac), which was recommended by the owner. We also visited a lovely pottery shop (Poterie de Cressensac), where we bought a beautiful flowerpot for home.
Normally we always go to Spain, and this was our first time in the Dordogne/Lot, but we will definitely be back!
Attached are a few photos to give you an impression. Thank you for everything, the great communication, and the easy booking process.
Kind regards,
Mirella Sigarlaki

We really enjoyed our stay in Grauviere! It was a complete house, neat and well cleaned. After about 4 days we also had contact about a camping cot (our youngest did not sleep in a 'large' bed) and that was brought by Christelle the same day. The area is also very beautiful, nice places to visit. All in all, it was wonderful to stay in the Dordogne again!

The house is even more beautiful than in the picture. It is a bit far away from everyday life but because of this it is quiet there. Furthermore, a beautiful large garden.

(09-2021) Dear Lydia,
your holiday home Grauliere has fully met the expectations aroused by the website. It is a beautiful house with all the amenities you can think of for a sunny holiday. The swimming pool and the very large garden are also fine.
In addition to the information on your website: there is table tennis and the TV only has French-language channels, but there is also netflix on it so that you can also choose films or series in the original language and possibly with subtitles.
Kind regards, Jos E.

(08-2020) Hello Lydia,
The layout of the house is the best we have had as everything is in one place compared to the other houses he have rented.
Outside furniture, huge grass area, sofa, kitchen and bedrooms were all great.
The surprise of table tennis was a welcome one.
We always have a great time away as a family.
Few more photos of the outside space as that wasn’t really included in the website but is really great:
Kind regards

Everything is there for a great holiday ... the house is spacious, pleasant to live in, fully equipped .... nothing is missing ... we feel at home ... the pool is very pleasant, very large ... only downside is a flat bottom of 1.5m which can be annoying with small children. Otherwise nothing to say .. sunbathing parasol and secure swimming pool. Everything is as described. We really had a great time and recommend this vacation spot.
