Customer Testimonial:
Sainte-Mondane-For several years now we have been traveling in France, renting houses and apartments along the way. It is very rare when a rental exceeds your expectations, but this rental, called the Jardinier’s Cottage, in Sainte-Mondane, not only exceeded them but far surpassed in comfort and beauty any other rental we have stayed in. Down a country lane, surrounded by meadows and forest, the cottage was tastefully decorated, immaculately clean, with a well-appointed kitchen (all the cooking tools you could want), a beautiful garden, and is located very near the town of Sarlat-la-Canéda where boulangeries, cheese shops, épiceries, and wine shops abound. Our hosts Chris and Lin were so very helpful, treated us like kindred spirits, and made our stay there exceptionally comfortable. As an added bonus, we fell deeply in love with the old cherry tree in the front yard, just coming into blossom.We will return! Raquel Lopez, Arizona USA
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Beautiful gite

Chris and Lin’s cottage is just outside St Mondane in a beautiful, peaceful location. The cottage has one bedroom but it’s not small. The bedroom is large, the kitchen likewise. It is all beautifully furnished to a high standard, and is fully equipped with everything you could need. This was our second visit. Thank you both very much for the use of your lovely house.

Lovely!

We had a great stay at this beautiful gite and would highly recommend it. Chris & Lin were excellent hosts and took care of everything from sending directions in advance, meeting us on arrival & departure and being on hand if we needed anything. The gite itself is a real gem, beautifully appointed and extremely comfortable, situated just outside the village it is incredibly peaceful. We found the location great for exploring the region, being within easy driving distance of Sarlat, Rocamadour, Domme, and the numerous Chateau and other attractions of the region. Overall we had a lovely stay and would definitely return.

Perfect base to rest and explore.

Jardinier cottage is all it promised to be. Quiet, restful, spacious and beautifully restored with a super comfy sofa and bed. We loved the semi-rural location with complete quiet and the short drives to explore were a delight of quiet pretty roads that meandered through ancient beautiful villages, Sarlat within easy reach. The hosts go the extra mile to ensure you are comfortable with great amenities and you feel truly welcomed with bread, wine and cheese, it was a so appreciated. Highly recommend!

An absolute gem!

We had a wonderful few days here - the gite is outstanding. We were warmly welcomed by Chris on arrival and we were so grateful for the extremely generous welcome pack. The best we have ever had! Thank you very much. The gite was spotlessly clean which makes such a difference. Lin and Chris have obviously worked hard to make sure their guests have a relaxing and happy time. They have thought of everything including lots of little extra touches. The furnishings are very tasteful, the kitchen is very well equipped, the bed is very comfortable and the shower is excellent. Unfortunately the weather wasn't good enough for us to sit outside much, but the garden area is really quiet and pretty. The location is perfect. We explored the area on our bikes - there are plenty of quiet roads and the voie verte is nearby. We would highly recommend this lovely gite. I wish we could have stayed longer!

Fairytale cottage nestled in rural Dordogne

Even more beautiful in real life than the photos, the heritage building and setting of this gite are both amazing! Inside, it is comfortable, spaceous and well-appointed. It was the perfect home base for our introduction to the Dordogne / Perigord Noir region; close to many of the major attractions. The idyllic nature of the gite was matched only by the warmth and attentiveness of the hosts, Chris and Lin! For example, when we took a wrong turn on our way to arriving at Sainte Mondane, Chris was very responsive by email and called us right away to offer help with directions. This stay was the perfect beginng to our trip to France to celebrate a significant wedding anniversary, and we would recommend it to anyone!

A Perfect Holiday Home

If you are lucky enough to stay here, you will understand completely why I say this is a perfect place to be for a holiday. The home was immaculate and not cluttered with an owner’s unwanted leftovers. It was completely planned for a couple to be in a soothing environment. Every detail was thought out. The garden was perfect for sitting and reading or having a picnic supper. The home had comfy chairs for reading. It was hard to leave each morning to tour. Lots of wonderful spots were close by and there were walks all around the area. The kitchen was perfect. In fact, the whole place was perfect.

Hidden gem in the heart of Dordogne

For our second stay with Chris and Lin at Sainte-Mondane, everything was once again... perfect. 'Gite'/Cottage is ideal for a couple, clean, practical and well-equipped. Chris and Lin give you the loveliest welcome and are always happy to help during your stay. The surroundings are very peaceful and perfect for walks (to the Chateau de Fenelon for instance). And you might even see a deer! Also ideal if you want to explore Perigord and the Dordogne valley (Beynac, Castelnaud, Sarlat, Lascaux...). In short, you won't be disappointed if you book with C&L in their lovely cottage, and will only want to go back!

Simply The Best

The most wonderful gite to spend a holiday. Ideally situated on the edge of a small village up a quiet lane surrounded by woods and countryside. The stone property looks beautiful and inside is exceptional. The lounge/diner has all required appliances and the impressive decor makes it a wonderful setting. The bathroom has an excellent shower and fittings. We loved the large spacious bedroom with the exposed beams. There is nothing to fault this most wonderful gite at all. The property is ideally situated being only 10km from Sarlat and within easy reach of the areas many attractions and places of interest . Chris & Lin are ideal hosts and always helpful and very informative about the local area and it's exceptional wildlife. Visits to the garden by deer and red squirrels were a delight. A welcoming basket of goodies was very much appreciated. We had the most incredible weather every day and stayed in this most beautiful and excellent property. Thank you Chris & Lin !
