Domaine de La Barde

Everything as expected with our stay. Only a couple of minor observations, stairs steep at our chosen accommodation - would not suit everyone - and no obvious instructions for the dual cooker / microwave which caused a few issues as we were self catering. We could have been more comfortable with a footstool in the lounge which we mentioned to the owner. Very comfortable else. Parking outside the accommodations, very easy. Netflix on tv and issues with wifi quickly addressed by owner.

We met Krys who was extremely welcoming and helpful. The accommodation is fantastic and comfortable with excellent facilities. If you’ve watched Chateau DIY, it does not show the wonderful charm and careful renovations that have taken place. The property grounds have a very tranquil feel enabling you to relax completely and use the beautiful pool area. We were really sorry not to have met Tim who was busy taking other guests on days out, however, we will be going back as we were only there for 3 nights and there was so much more we would have liked to explore.

Tim & Krys Birch have turned an abandoned piece of property and facilities into the most wonderful place to spend a day or many days enjoying Le Bugue and all the surrounding Dordogne region. Their personal attention and care will make you feel at home. Their “ apartments “ have well equipped kitckens, dining and living room and spacious bedroom and bath. The Cottage was my favorite. Amenities include pool, tennis court and manicured grounds to stroll, picnic, sit in swinging chairs and read a book. Martin Walker’s, Bruno series would be my favorite ,as Le Bugue is considered to be the fictitious St. Denis!! After my stay close to a week, I consider Tim and Krys friends who I want very much to visit again.
