Beautiful property
The villa was beautiful and the kitchen very well stocked we had everything we could want. The location was beautiful and very quiet we had a baby with us so we didn’t go out much on an evening but made good use of the BBQ.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Fantastic stay at Le Verger with our family. Beautiful, clean house with everything you could need. They also had all the essentials for a baby which was really helpful. We will definitely be back!
We had a wonderful week full of happy and relaxing family moments at Le Verger. It is a beautiful place, a lovely house surrounded by an amazing garden and a great pool.!
Thank you very much

Excellent Property and Part of the World
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Just home from an amazing week stay at La Verger. The property is picturesque and fully kitted out for all our needs. It helped that we had a week of gorgeous sunshine so made the most of the excellent pool and BBQ facilities. We loved the location of the property as it was easy driving access to all sorts of great places for a visit – vineyards, markets and Castles. We found it a great hub for day trips to Bergerac, Montbazillac, and further afield to the Dodogne valley. We loved market trips to all the little villages, followed by stocking up on food and wine and spending the late afternoon and evening enjoying the villa. The property itself is postcard worthy – we didn’t want for anything and the facilities are second to none! Could not recommend this holiday highly enough and will be back for sure!
Perfect!

Great relaxing holiday with stunning views
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Exactly as it was written and could not fault the property or the location. The pool was cleaned everyday and was great for the kids. The house was well maintained and had everything we were looking for, would go again in a heartbeat.
Gorgeous and peaceful
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful house in a fantastic setting, it couldn’t of been any more relaxing. The grounds, pool and house suited all 4 of our children at different ages. I would definitely recommend and return for another stay.
Peace and quiet in beautiful surroundings
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
We had a week with three generations sharing this lovely, spacious house and gardens. There was a good-sized pool, table tennis and terrace for eating out. The rooms were all generous and comfortable. The only criticism was that the bedrooms on the first floor became very hot and it was difficult to cool them down, which meant that the babies had trouble sleeping. However, that said, I would happily come back again for a longer stay.
Beautiful house and garden in rural setting
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
House was beautiful, well-equipped and ticked all our boxes. Garden was lovely, full of breeding birds and Bill & Elaine v attentive at keeping pool spotless. Excellent walks and cycles from the house. Very much the sort of place we like.
Interesting local towns with bastides, castles etc. Several good markets in nearby towns, well stocked Intermarche only few miles away.
We would certainly stay at Le Verger again and would recommend to others.
We’ve had a wonderful holiday in this lovely house and peaceful garden, enhanced by the interesting birds and wildlife and the sight of Bill keeping the pool in pristine condition every morning! The house itself has been special, clean, comfortable, so well equipped and we felt instantly at home. There are lots of lovely walks form the door – one favourite being a leisurely stroll through the butterfly filled woods into Lauzun for a coffee and back a different route. There are tennis courts at Lauzun, lovely cycles around Miramont and Eymet and markets a plenty. The weather was not always warm and sunny but the pool area was still much used. Huge thanks to Bill & Elaine who were always there, smiling, with help and advice – merci beaucoup! We fully intend to return if you will have us!
A lovely quiet place to stay
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Very nice quiet, gite and well maintained and equipped, especially as the weather was indifferent. We went on the Bergerac wine tasting tour which was excellent and one evening had the service of After Eight to cook us supper, both good value for money and thoroughly enjoyable.
Fantastic Property
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
The house has been beautifully maintained and is well equipped with all essential amenities. The property is very clean. Bill and Elaine were superb, they went above and beyond to ensure we were well looked after. Bill arrived every morning to change the pool filter and the pool was kept immaculately cleaned every day for our use. I would highly recommend La Verger to anyone.
Beautiful French villa with amazing garden space
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
We loved the villa and would definitely consider going back there. The grounds are fantastic and our boys and the men were able to play football, cricket and lots of other activities. It was great having table tennis too and the pool all really nicely placed. The village nearby had a great festival one evening and the people who look after the villa live few hundred yards away and were happy to help us with any thing we needed.

We spend a wonderful 2 weeks at Le Verger with guests from 3 to 87 years old. The house was beautifully decorated and stocked with equipment for our stay by owners who clearly take pride in their property. The housekeeper was very accommodating and responded to any request very swiftly – as well as being a font of knowledge on the area. This is definitely the type of holiday home you would want to visit again – or own yourself!
