Thank you for such a wonderful stay- our first all together since the girls were born and it was just perfect! We had everything we needed here and the child-friendly bits like cots and high chairs were a real bonus! We even managed a few visits to Sarlat, Plazac & St Leon when we could get the babies out of the pool. Highly recommend them all for a beautiful few hours wandering and delicious lunches.

Thank you Alec, Annie and Nina – it seems like nothing was too much trouble for you to ensure we enjoyed our stay. We would love to come back soon.

We had a wonderful stay here. The Villa had everything we could need and the pool area was a popular hangout for BBQ, late night swimming and star gazing with the kids. Alec et Annie couldn’t have been more welcoming, it felt like we were visiting family. They gave brilliant advice and information. We were able to balance exploring the area and further afield to appreciate the beauty of the Dordogne, canoeing lots, and relaxing at the villa on other days. Would definitely recommend and visit again. Thank you

First of all thank you for your warm welcoming and for allowing us this week to live and move in your wonderful residence “La Perode”. This is our first and hopefully not our last stay in this beautiful house and area of the Dordogne…

We deeply value your hospitality, love, kindness, zeal and passion to serve people like us and from everywhere in a wonderful way. This is very rare and exceptional in these days. Keep that fire burning! We’ve appreciated every moment and will forever treasure this week of rest, peace, refreshment and vacation. In this environment we honestly heard clearer and deeper the voice of God in this heavenly place. We will return to Belgium in a different way, equipped, inspired, changed and reformed.

Thank you for another wonderful stay at La Perode. With the mixed weather we’ve made the most of all the amenities – board games to swimming pool – and have enjoyed the tranquillity of the surrounding villages and countryside. Thank you Annie, Alec and lovely Nina for your hospitality and kindnesses (pest control to sun glasses mender!) Once again, you’ve made us feel very welcome and we’re sorry to leave.

Schitterende locatie met een leuk zwembadgedeelte. Ook de rust en sereniteit is een grote troef. Alec en Annie zijn toegankelijk maar heel discreet. Echt een aanrader!

We had a fantastic week here with the whole family including a 2 year old and a 5 month old. Alec and Annie were extremely welcoming and accommodating to our requests which we are so grateful for. The pool was an absolute joy for everyone and all the little details had been thought of so we could fully relax with the kids. On top of the fantastic house, the location is superb - we had nowhere near enough time to see everything in the region so we will have to come back! Bergerac is beautiful, the many caves are amazing, the village is lovely and the nearby campsite has a little play park which the kids loved. A special holiday that we will not forget. Thank you Alec and Annie

Thank you Alec & Annie for a wonderful 2 weeks at La Perode. We enjoyed the pool so much that we didn’t venture out that much. We had a couple of days when the weather was not that good but the trip to the aquarium at Le Bugue was very interesting and great for a rainy day. We visited Sarlat, which is very pretty, also Montignac is well worth a trip. We’ll miss the visits from Nina! Once again thank you Alec and Annie for being so hospitable and making our time here so enjoyable.

We’ve enjoyed a wonderful two weeks at La Perode, there’s been fabulous sunshine and cooling storms. We visited a few local towns / villages – mostly for the shopping but found Le Bugue to be beautiful to walk around. The aquarium and caves were great to visit on rainy days. Our two girls (4 ½ years and almost 3 yrs) have made the most of the pool and loved every minute. They’rs going to miss the pool, the fresh fruit from Annie and saying ‘bonjour’ to Nina as they run past! A truly wonderful family holiday, thank you.

Thanks Alec and Annie for a lovely stay in your wonderful house. Everything was superb – the pool, the accommodation, the surrounding area, your hospitality – thank you! The only negative is that we can’t take Nina back to England with us. Thanks again and I’m sure we’ll see you next year.
