Fabulous property
My husband and I stayed at Kiwi Cottage for 13 nights and it exceeded our expectations. The location is ideal - so peaceful yet minutes from amenities. The accommodation is spotlessly clean, spacious and really well equipped with everything we needed. The garden is great for relaxing and the swimming pool is perfect - the lilos provided by Caspian were much appreciated! Caspian and Lulu are charming and helpful hosts and added much to the enjoyment of our holiday We hope to return!

A very nice property in a lovely location
A beautiful cottage with lovely views and a beautiful garden. Very nice swimming pool. Very near to most of the attractions of Bordeaux wine country and an hour from Bordeaux airport. Caspian and Lulu are the perfect hosts. Nothing too troubling for them. Very friendly and welcoming. We will hopefully be back

Bordeaux holiday
Very quiet and peaceful location, but just minutes from amenities. Caspian and Lulu and were on hand to help and give advice and Joy (dog) always ready to greet us, particularly for alfresco dining! Recommend using train to get to Bordeaux, cheap and reliable and only 5 minutes from cottage.

Wonderful stay
We were on a 2 and 1/2 month European vacation and this was a week of much needed down time. The owners met us when we arrived and the Kiwi cottage was excellent. The pool was excellent and we toured a couple of Château wineries. I can't say enough about the area, the cottage or our hosts!

Dordogne trip
Beautiful quiet location surrounded by vines and nature. Idyllic spacious pool and setting. Perfect temperature and away from accommodation with table and chairs for dining and sun loungers with parasols for sunbathers. Caspian and Lulu very friendly but gave us our privacy. There’s another gîte quite nearby but we have separate areas/garden spaces so not a problem unless you have dogs!!

Stellar!
Kiwi Cottage was the perfect place for us to stay for 10 days: delightful villages, chateaux, grottes and gardens all nearby. But more importantly it was a peaceful countryside haven with beautiful, expansive grounds and a swimming pool where we spent many afternoons cooling off in the 34 degree weather. What a contrast to the Covid stress and insanity we were experiencing in America. The excellent king bed allowed us to linger every morning and slow the pace of our daily plans. Eating on our little patio, enjoying pastries from the local boulangerie, picking blackberries for our muesli, reading and playing cards in our spacious living room were easy to do in such a lovely setting. We cooked all our own meals in a kitchen that met most of our needs. Our original 2019 stay at Kiwi Cottage was cancelled due to Covid. Hosts, Caspian and Lulu, stayed in touch with us throughout the next year and a half, making a smooth transition for booking 2021 and keeping us updated about new Covid developments in France. Their caring, concern, and positivity were reflected well before our arrival. During our stay they respected our privacy but were available for any questions or concerns. We invited them to a glass of wine and appertif for my birthday and ended up talking and laughing for two hours. Knowing we needed a negative Covid test before returning to America, Caspian went ahead and scheduled appointments for us at the local pharmacy. Coming from the a country where politics and Covid have ruptured the fabric of our society, we found our faith in humanity being renewed by the kindness and sincerity of our hosts and the labor of love reflected in their property. Many thanks.

Wonderful stay at Kiwi Cottage
We had a wonderful holiday at Kiwi Cottage. Caspian & Lulu are excellent hosts and were very welcoming of us and our dog, Luna. They were always on hand to provide information about the local area and recommendations of things to do, but were in no way imposing. The cottage was lovely and had everything we needed, the pool & grounds were beautiful and relaxing. There is lots to do in the local area, plenty of restaurants, wine tasting and places to visit. Local amenities like bakeries, supermarkets and vets nearby. Overall a wonderful holiday, we would love to visit again!
